LIGHTNING'S FRANKS

Lightning struck the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Leonard Smith, who live a
few miles from Boynton, about 2 a. m.
Friday morning during the storm.
1t first struck the flue and followed
the fiue down to the first floor of the
sitting room and one part went north
through the dining room and kitchen,
passing out of the house through the
door. Another bolt came from the
west side of the flue to the center OF
the floor, passed through the linoleum
and carpet, setting fire to the carpet.
1t then crossed to the south side OF
the room under the stove and turned
a rocking chair over in the middle OF
the room. There was another bolt
that crossed the upper part of the
building on the south side tearing
part of the ceiling and weather
boarding off and passing out at the
southeast corner. Another bolt went
out through the southwest corner Of
the building.-Milan Standard.

CIRCUIT COURT SUIT FILED

Harry X. West, attorney has been
retained for the purpose of bring
ing an action to contest the recent
city election held in Marceline, and
it is exceedingly probable that such
action will be filed in the circuit court
OF Linn county at an early date.
In an interview with attorney
West, he stated that it was not vet
decided upon just what specific
grounds the contest would be filed.
but that the situation had developed
into one of several objections, as
follows:
1. That the ballot used in the cleo
ton was not the ballot the voters had
been instructed was to be used.
2. That the notice of the opening
and closing of the polls specified one
time, when the statutes prescribed an
other time.
3. That the ballots were not printed
on the kind of paper and class requir-
ed by the statute.
A. That illegal votes were cast.
b. That voters were enormously in
structed how to vote in a mass meet
ing held prior to the election.
6. That the judges of election were
not in unison in their Interpretation
of what constituted an illegal ballot.
z. That number of polling places
were not opened or closed at the
hours required by law.
The. petition in the contest case
will be filed with the circuit clerk this
week, and when it is filed, The Herald
will have copy of it for publica-
tion. 1t will set forth all points on
which new election is prayed for

THE AMERICAN LEGION
DANCE DREW LARGE CROWD

The dance at the American Theatre
under the auspices of the american
Legion Friday night was well at
tended and about $50 was taken in
and if there had not been so much
expense the boys might have made
enough to pay for their trouble.
After the rent of the hall, war tax
and musicians were settled for they
had about $40 left. 1t is certainly
discouraging for them as Post Com
mander Frank W. Hill has devoted
most of his time since the post here
was organized to this work, and no
one ever worked harder to accomplish
something than he has. There were
members of this post who did not
pretend to support these various en-
tertainments and they go and stick
their heads in the door when there is
a dance and that is as far as they
get. 1t is a sad state of affairs
that an organization like this can't
stick together and each one be a
worker as they should.
There were about Is members ad-
ded to the post membership last week
and there are a lot more in this vicin-
ity who should become members. All
ex-service men should get together
and do the things here that Legion
Posts in other places accomplish.
1t is an honor to belong and the
post can do more for its members
than the ex-service men can receive
through any other agency. See Frank
Hill and let him tell you about the
advantages of being member of the
American Legion.

SEvENTY-SIX CHILDREN
SEEKING HOMES

Jefferson City.-Seventy-six home
less boys and girls of Missouri, of all
ages ARE holding out their hands to
the good people of the state in mute
appeal to be placed in good Christian
homes.
The youngsters are sound in health
and mind, and having been left with
out family support or care, are tenn
porarily under the charge and main
tenance of the state. Thirty-eight
boys and girls are at the State child
ren's home at Carrollton, and an
equal number are being cared for in
the state, vii be welcomed.
The job of the ChHdren's Bureau Of
the State Board of Charities is 70 pro
vide temporary reief and care for ne
elected and dependent children. The
department feels that it is far bet
ter for each of these children, as fast
as possible, to be taken into good
homes, rather than to be kept for a
long time in any kind of an institution
no matter how well provided for.
Many of the boys and girls are
unusually bright and charming and
would be delight and pride in any
home. Requests for these little folks,
from the good fathers and mothers of
the state, will be welcomed.
Inquiries in regard to the children
may be made by writing Mrs. Har-
riet NJ. Robinson, director Children's
Bureau of the State Board Of Chari-
ties, at Jefferson City. Those wish
ing little ones of the state are asked
to indicate their preference as to boys
or girls and ages desired.

miscellaneous shower for Miss Nora
Cuddy. The regular program was

decorated in pink and white and the
gifts Of the guests were placed on
the dining room table under pink

THE NEvER-DIE KEY
TESvILLE SPIRIT

Wiped out, beaten at the
post ,out-jumped, and beaten in
almost every department the
keytesville youngsters were not
disgraced, because they kept on
scrapping, even after they knew
they were outclassed. The
outstanding thing that really
counts is the fact they proved
to be good losers. Today the
youngsters are not saying much
just laying plans for next
years meet, and they are de-
termined to make the other
fellow go some to keep them
out of the frsts and seconds in
the next meet.
Get this, to be a good loser
is one of the greatest things in
class and school spirit that can
be evidenced. 1t is next to
being a winner.
The Courier rejoices in the
fact that already the 1923 class
is laying plans for a real sys-
tematic course of training, and
they'll be in shape, anyway for
* year.

MISSOURI PACIFIC
SHOPS GIVEN RELIEF

Sedalia, Mo.-The County Board of
Equalization here has reduced the as
sessed value of the Missouri Pacific
shop property located in the outskirts
of the city, in Pettis County, from ST.
O6s,OOO to $75O,OOO. The decrease
will result in the difference being
added to farm lands of the county.
The action was taken yesterday
but it was not generally known until
today. Farmers are objecting to any
increase in their property on the
ground that their taxes are already
too high and they will be unable to
carry the load of increased prices of
farm products.

AND FINED
$50 AND 80 DAYS


Monday morning Geo. Wilson was
arrested for insulting one of the
young Keytesville girls who was on
the way to the pos;oillce to get her
mail. It must be that the charges
brought against this fellow Wilson
are true for he plead guilty to the
charge when arraigned before Mayor
A. F. Arlington. The offense happen
ed Sunday, and the wonder is that
some red-blooded man was not with
in hearing so that Wilson could have
received just what was coming to
him. And what was coming to him
was thrashing that would have laid
him up the balance of the summer.
When it happens that young
school girl cannot walk along the
main street in Keytesyille without be-
ing subjected to insult it seems that
it is just about time to start some
thing.
The Courier man can mention the
names of about a dozen men in this
city who would like to have been just
within hearing of this low-down OBJ
ject of humanity. Drunk or sober he
should have been given the beating Of
his life. If sober, the offense is
bad enough. If drunk, well, he has
no excuse on top of earth to offer and
the very fact that he offended makes
his unexcusable actions just doubly
worse, for he had no excuse for being
drunk.
The bootlegger that furnished the
man Geo. Wilson, harnessmaker, his
boose, should be made an equal part
ner in punishment.
The fine of $50 helps bit. The re-
mittance of the fine of go days don't
help much, even on promise Of good
behaviour.
The Courier stated sometime since
that we should demand of the proper
authorities the right of our women
folks to walk the streets of Keytes-
vile unmolested.
The Courier cannot but wonder
what would have happened if this
young girl had met Wilson after dark.
Remember, this happened in broad
daylight, and on the main street.
Now, if there are any bootleggers
that don't like the Courier's activity
in this connection, we invite them to
personally call at the Courier office
and talk the matter over with us. We
would, at least, have the supreme sat-
isfaction of knowing who and what
they are.
If Geo. Wilson wants to half
square himself with the right-think-
ing men of this community he'll come
clean and tell the proper authorities
where he purchased his little white
mule.

The Charlton County Track Athie-
tic and Literary Association held it's
annual meet at Keytesville last Fri
day and Friday evening. A fairly
good sized crowd was present, but the
condition of the roads throughout the
entire county kept the attendance
down, and where there was to have
been some twenty-five hundred pres
ent, practically only those who could
get here by train we're among those
on hand to cheer their favorites on to
success.
All dope. sheets went wrong in this
affair. Keytesyille was simply the
place where the meet was held-that
and nothing else. First place was
awarded to Triplett, Salisbury second
and Brunswick, third.
1t just happens that first places are
won-not by chance, but by the rec
ords of actual performance. No
schools are returned winners through
happenstance in the athletic games,
and thereby hangs a tale of perform
ance of which the winners may be
proud Here it is:
Triplett won because of the wonder
