MEXICO man
AND WIFE IN
FULTON NEWS
(The Fulton SUM-

One of the arrivals in Fulton on
the Sunday morning train was a wo-
man from Mexico in search of her
husband. She had evidently been in
formed as to his custom Of spending
the week end in this city following
the weeks work near here and had
come to meet him. She was success
full in meeting him on the streets OF
Fulton Sunday afternoon, but found
that he was occupied with another
woman. When she accosted her hus-
band and said she wished to talk
with him he replied that he had moth.
ing he could do for her. Placing his
arms about the other women he told
his wife that this was the woman he
loved and the one with whom he was
going to stay.
The Mexico woman followed them
to the home of the Fulton woman and
later knocked on the door and asked
to see her husband. He came to the
door but was soon followed by the
Fulton woman who was carrying a
long bladed butcher knife. The mat
ter ended in an argument without
any one being hurt. {.
The Mexico woman appealed to the
prosecuting attorney asking that he
get her husband back for her but
saying that she did not wish to have
him arrested or to get a divorce from
him. After seeing him Monday she
had changed her mind about the d.
vorce and said she was going to try
to get the divorce. She was told she
must go to Audrain county for this
action as that was her home. She
could not understand this feature Of
the law as she said she was in CAL
and so was her husband but
she finally consented to take the at
torney's advice and returned to her

MAN
OFFERS TO SELL
HIS FATHER
(Columbia Evening Missourianl

AON@AAOAo HNNAAAA6
Hearing that bodies were used by
the School of Medicine for expert
mental purposes, a man living in
Mexico, Mo-, recently wrote to DR.. G.
L. Noyes, Dean of the school, offering
to sell the body of his father for $500.
The father, the letter stated, is IS
years old and living but the body
would be turned over after death.
The man gave as a reason for this
extraordinary offer, the fact that his
father was dependent on him for food
and clothes. He did not state the
number of years he had been depend
ent on his father.
The letter follows:
/ have heard that you buy
body If you will give me $4,000
| will give you my father body
when he dies he is 65 years old
and / have to clothe and take care
of him If you will give that much
! will turn the body over to you
when he dies.

Lacrene Miller, a pupil in the
iShth grade at South Side School
Wa awarded first prize of IS We'd
asday in essay contest held in the
public schools on "How Children Can
keep the City Clean" conducted by
..e Audrain Chamber of Commerce.
Christine Collier was given second
rr!ze and third place went to Dorothy
Bradley of Central School. Joseph
Gamble received the prize for the
test composition by the youngest
w.iter. The winners were chosen
from over 300 contestants.
Others who wrote essays and re-
:eived honorable mention are: Mar
on Dry, Rothwell Shattuck, James
Hubert Stone, George Pindell Adams
and Martha Shelley.
The judges appointed by Secretary
Coleman to select the winning essays
were H. C. Rixey and Alex Hope.
Following is the first prize winner:
What are the benefits of %cleanli-
ness? Cleanliness brings health and
happiness. Health is a ruling Cod
dess, but her dominion must be clean!
An athlete fails if he is not physically
clean, a minister fails If he il not
spiritually clean, and a business man
fails if he is not mentally clean. So
if a city is not clean, how could it be
expected to thrive? Someone wisely
said, Cleanliness is next to Godli-
ness"
Who shall keep Mexico clean ?After
all it is the child who will keep the
town clean. The child is more readily
appealed to than the grownups. If
the child is encouraged and made to
feel that he is the n to keep Mexico
clean he will, for a sense Of respon-
prompts mediate action.
How can a child keep Mexico clean?
If the child cleans his back yard the
will clean theirs also. He
can help by setting a good example,
up paper and other refuse,
and putting it into the trash cans, and
weeds and planting flowers
the weeds are likely to grow.
is true a child will not be able to
do the big things but it is the little
which count. Although it is
not often admitted, a child has a
great deal Of influence over his elders, 7
so the elders will follow the child's
example, for shall not a little child
lead them?
