Death of Francis S. Carmody

It was with a profound shock and
sorrow, that the citizens of the County
received the newt of the death of Mr.
Francis 5. Carmody, of Seat Pleasant,
on Friday evening, April 18th.
Mr.. Carmody occupied such an envi-
able position in the business world, and
had long taken such an interest in
public, civic and political affairs, that
his death is a severe loss to his business
associates, and to his home community
and to the county as well.
Mr.. Carmody was born in Washing
ton, May IL, 1868. and is survived by
his widow. Mrs. Mary M. Carmody,
(nee Chaffee) He was the founder and
only president of Farmers & Mechanics
Bankof Seat Pleasant, Md, which was
absorbed by Southern sMaryland Trust
Co which he organized, and of which
he was president, from its organization
until his death. He was not a seeker
for Office although prominent in local,
County and State politics. and gener-
GUS contributor to campaign expenses.
He was many times delegate to Re-
publican National and State conven-
tions, and served as treasurer OF the
Republican State Committee.
MIR. Carmody's business sagacity
and prudence were so we'll and widely
recognized; and his public and civic
spirit, and his great generosity in pub
lie affairs and in private matters is so
we'll known that encomium seems un'
necessary in Prince Georges County
His life was clean, wholesome, honest
and helpful. He left the world the bet
ter for his having lived, and his death
will long and widely be mourned.

War Test of American Products

Tne great war acted as a supreme
test for all kinds OF materials made in
Anierica and the result shown is a tre-
meudous recommen dation fc r American
made products.
American manufactures of all kinds
of materials and mechanical equipment
supplied vast quantities of their prod
ucts to the government. 1t was sent
over seas where it was subjected to the
most strenuous kind of service, service
far more severe than that which would
most normally be encountered by the
same products in ordinary peace time
uses.
One Of the products 80 used which
holds a particular interest for the ia m :
er and his family is the small electric
plant. Despite the fact that there are
already over $50, 900 of these plants in
service in America there were still some
farmers who felt that they were in an
experimental stage and that the plants
which were being produced might not
be dependable. The record of electric
plant service in the war has swept
away this doubt entirely. One manu-
facturer alone supplied over 1000
plants to the government. These little
generating sets were used in all kinds
of work, for the operation OF X-ray ma
chimes, wireless apparatus, to light
field hospitals, to operate trench tele-
phone and signal sets aud for wide
variety OF other electric uses. Under
practical war conditions it was impos-
sble to give them the care which mach
inery should have in order to secure
satisfactory operation and yet these
little plants were always on the job, de-
livering service sometimes for "a hours
a day.
Surely if they can survive the strenu-
Gus service that war activities deman
they are capable Of giving the farmer
and his family plenty of light and pow
er in his home.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
INSTALLS BURGLAR ALARM

The First National Bank is having
installed burglar alarm, as special
precaution for burglary or hold-ups.
The Bankers Electrical company is in
stalling the system.
While the bank is insured against
robbery, at the same time this special
precaution is being taken.
The system protects the safe and
vaults, and they are protected in any
way that the burglar would choose to
gain an entrance. For instance, if 1t
would be necessary for the Bank en-
ployes to give the burglar alarm, all
they have to do is to touch certain
wires. And if the burglar would
choose to burn mis- way through q
vault, when the heat would get to a
certain temperature, the alarm would
sound.
The alarm gong on the front en-
trance of the Bank has created much
interest, and is part of the burglar
proof system.

M'CORMICKS ACQUITTED
OF ARSON CHARGE
Judge Charles L. Henson Sustained
Demurrer Filed by Defense.
Murder Trial Postponed.

Mrs. Mary Mccormick and her six
teen year old son, Sheridan were ac-
quilted of the charge Of arson in
Barry county circuit court Thursday
afternoon.
The prosecutions witnesses were
heard up until noon Thursday The
defense offered no witnesses and filed
a demurrer, which was sustained by
Judge Charles L. Henson, who said
that the evidence showed that the
state had no case against de-
PENDANTS.
The case attracted much interest
in the county because Of the fact that
the two defendants were also charged
with the murder of John Mccormick,
husband and father of the two, whose.
body was found in well on their
farm. Nothing but circumstantial
evidence was introduced. The. prose4
cutting witness, the Farmers Mutual
Insurance, Company of Barry County,
tried to show that Mrs. Mccormick
and her son had burned their resi-
dence to secure the $2,500 insurance
ON the place. The Company paid
$1,000 of the amount soon after the
fire, before suit was filed.
Prosecuting Attorney Emory E.
Smith was assisted by D. H. Kemp, Of
Cassville and I. D. Steele, of Monett.
J. E. Safer, of Monett and Jake Davis
of Cassville, represented the defense.
The murder trial of the two has
been postponed until next term of
court.

PASTURE OWNERS REFUSE
NON-TESTED COWS

There is movement among pasture
owners to refuse to accept for pasture
any cows who have not been given the
tubercular test. Cow owners who
have had their stock tested do not
wish to run the danger of infection
by sending their cows to pastures
with non-tested COWS. Wimsatt
Brothers and Ami Cuendet have an
nounced that all COWS placed in, their
pastures must be given the tubercular
test. Other pasture owners will
take like action.
Dr. F. B. Jones, a government in
spector, is inspecting free of charge.
All who want their stock tested should
sign the application at Whitlock
Brothers feed store while the vetemn-
arian is here. After he leaves stock
owners will have to pay for the test.
Owing to the difficulty in finding
all the cows and in getting the owners
to assist the veterinarian, DR.. F. B..
Jones will probably make arrange
ments for stock to be brought to him
at some place to be published later i'll
The Times.
The testing Of animals is not only
duty but it a privilege. 1t is be-
coming more and more necessary and
as the public is becoming educated
along health lines, owners of nom
tested cows will find that they will
lack customers for their milk.
Every owner of dairy, beef or breed
ing cattle should have the test and
inspection made while the government
man is here.

HEAVY TOURIST

Frisco Traffic Department Receives
Many Inquiries Regarding Sum-
mer Resorts.

Springfield, March 27.-From in
duiries which have come into the Of
fices of the Frisco lines during the
past few weeks it is presumed thai
every man and his neighbor intends
spending a week OF more in the "play-
grounds Of the Ozarks" this summer.
The traffic department Of the Frisco
has received many more inquiries as to
summer resorts, rates and other infor-
nation than ever before and indica-
tions are for a general hegira to the
Ozark country during the torl1d
months of the summer.
"I wish that the fame of the Ozarks
was much greater than it is" said a
Frisco official today, "but | believe
that within the next few years this
fame will become so widespread that
the average tourist seeking relief
from the hot pavements and streets
of the cities will spend fortnight in
the cool and pleasant Ozarks. Within
the last two years the Ozarks have
become widely known for their excel
lence as a summer resort and many
new resorts are being opened this year
along the Meramec, the Gasconade,
the White river and in other sections.

HIGH WATER DOES
MUCH DAMAGE

(From the Cassville Democrat)
After forty-eight hours of rain and
very heavy rain on Washburn
Prairie country, Monday night, put
Flat Creek out of her banks, covering
all lands possible along its course.
The water was higher here at Cass-
vile than was ever known before.
1t was up in Mrs. Sarah Lowder's
kitchen. About IA inches deep in
Rado Fishers blacksmith shop. Was
up on east side of city lot.
The apple drying house of Robbins
G. HORNE located on east side Of creek
near the Canning Factory, was washed
away and landed in the pasture of NJ.
III. Brown near the crushing plant.
The upper portion of the building was
full of tomato box material.
J. C. Ault had % head of Poland
China hogs in the canning factory lot
that was feared had been drowned.
All have been found. One hog was
found in a drift on James Wilson's
farm alive, after having battled the
waters A of a mile.
Ben johnson had about so head of
hogs in the stock pens, that came near
going the water route, but were re-
moved.
The Hornsby Stave & Lumber Co.,
is probably the largest loser, as
several hundred ties, many slaves and
lumber were washed away.
Fencing and freshly plowed ground
was badly damaged along Flat Creek.
Roaring River, Rock Creek and
Rock House Creek were past fording,
doing much damage to fencing and
lands.
Greasy, Trents and Sugar Creeks
were on the rampage and damaged
fencing and freshly plowed land.
The heavy rain fell in the south
central portion of Barry county.
The old foot bridge across Flat
Creek near the Mill was washed out
excepting one span. The water must
have been two or three feet above the
bridge.
The grading of the road near Ash
Cave washed out where the new road
is being constructed.
There is said to be no cross fencing
in Flat Greek Valley left, between
Washburn and Cassville.
The bridges on lower Flat Creek
are said to have withstood the raw
ages of the flood.
A lot of lumber was washed away
on J. F. PLANTS farm down Flat Creek
liz miles.
White River is reported very high.
The fire whistle at the Light Plant
gave the alarm of high water about
3:15 a. M, and many people responded
but nothing could be done and as the
water was receding, felt relieved
from great damage.
