KEYTEsvILLk 2 EvAToR
BURNED g vRsDAY A. NJ.

Last Thursday h 'ng at about
3:30 o'clock the Key lie Elevator
was destroyed by fire. ore it was
discovered that the placs 3 on fire
such great progress had been made by
the flames that nothing could be
saved.
The elevator was owned by w. w.
White and w. S. Owens of Bruns-
wick. During the past year consid-
cradle work had been, done in making
the elevator modern and machinery,
new motors, etc, had been installed
at cost approximately Of some &c.
! 900. All Of this machinery has prov
en- to be an absolute loss.
The elevator company had the day
before moved in a carload Of seed
oats and also there was considerable
wheat stored therein and this also is
a complete loss.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
although a box car standing on the
loading track appeared to have been
completely consumed by the flames
before the elevator on the north side
was all afre, which, according to all
reports would lead one to believe that
the fire might have started from the
: Wabash railroad car.
The insurance carried on the ele-
vatof appears to have. been $4,000 on
the building and $4,000 on the con-
tents.
Ths. loss is extremely unfortunate
for the owners and is a wallop from
business standpoint that will take
some time to set right. The sympa-
thy Of all is extended to both Mr.
Owens and Mr.. White.

FOR THE NEW
COUNCIL TO PONDER

The Courier don't care to go on
record as telling the council what to
do on, even suggesting something in
a way that might take offense. There
is one little matter that could be en-
acted here in Keytesville that would
not do any harm, although it might
harass, nonplus, abash or something
certain parents Of the town.
What does the Courier mean?
Just this. Apparently there are
parents in Keytesville that ought to
be forced to keep up their children at
night.
Observation is the father of this
storyette. Last Friday night the edi-
tor and his better 6alf were out quite
late-for us-about $3.50 and this is
what we saw in one Of the down town
places Of business. Three young girls
of quite tender age just waiting
around to make catch. Apparently
they were successful because when
three young boys came along they
suddenly made hssty getaway.
At another place three kid boys and
one of them smoking cigarettes, and
the funny part of it was the boy who
was smoking noticed his uncle
walk in through the front door, and
you ought to have seen that cigarette
vanish.
All of these young folks were mem
bers of the Keytesville school and all
were unattended. The question arose
naturally, "wonder if their parents
know where their children are?"
And this last Friday night was not
an exception. 1t happens that we
have been down town on several other
occasions.
Would it be going back too far in
this day and age for the city council
to pass an ordinance-something to
do with curfew?
We may be old fashioned, not up
to present times. There is one thing
we have not forgotten, however, and
that is that our mother knew where
we we're at nine o'clock as long as we
lived at home.
That's all, and thank you.

MoBERLY'S HIS. TERM
ONLY 4 MONTHS


The school election held last week
in Moberly to retain the present rate
of taxation failed to carry by 81
votes. The total vote on the measure
was 1913 for and 1928 against it.
School officials said today that
without the continuance Of the pres
ent rate the schools could not operate
more than four months the next term.
The vote yesterday on the levy was
very light. Many did not vote on it
at all and great many thought it
was for an increase.
Current opinion is that the levy
was not intentionally killed, but was
voted down because so many people
thought it was a raise in the amount
Of taxes. The proposition was to
continue the present rate.
The school board will probably call
special election some time soon so
another vote can be taken.
School officials don't believe the
levy will be defeated at special
election. Moberly Democrat.

FARM BUREAU TO HAVE
STATEWIDE WOOL POOL

Announcement has been made from
the headquarters of the Missouri
Farm Bureau Federation that wool
pools of the state are to be placed
under the marketing department and
operated ON state basis during the
coming year.
The success Of the st. Joseph wool
pool market under John Mcdaniel and
of the st. Louis market under Louis
Muenks during 1921 was the contrib
|uting factor in making the change to
a statewide basis, it was said. A
complete program for 1922 was adopt
ed when the marketing committee
met at st. Joseph
All branches or departments >of

BEvTER MINERS DECLARE
BOYCOTT ON BARRIERS

The Miners union Of Bevier, Ma
con county, has declared a boycott on
the barber shops there, giving as a
reason that the BARRIERS are charging
more than union rates and that they
do not hold union cards. The union
barber rates at Macon, Moberly and
most other towns of this section are
90 cents per, shave, 40 cents for a
hair cut, and the shoe sinners in the
shops 10 cents. At Bevier it costs a
man rs cents to have his whislers
chopped off and so cents for hair
cut. The rates were advanced some
time ago when the miners returned to
work after brief suspension.
Everything, is quiet in the various
coal camps in Macon county. None
Of the miners are leaving. They are
confident that when the present coal
stocks are exhausted there viii be q
settlement with the operators.

SENATOR E. B. FIELDS, CAN
DIDATE FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the announcement of Sen. Em-
NETT B. Fields Of Linn County, as
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Circuit Judge of the 18th Ju-
dicial Circuit composed of Charlton,
Linn and~Sullivan counties.
Senator Fields was born in SuIli-
van County in 1868, and has lived the
greater part of his life at Browning
in Linn County. He was elected to
the Missouri State Senate from the
6th District in 1898, and served con-
tinuously in that body from 1898 to
1910, inclusive. Since that time he
has devoted all of his time to the
practice of law. During the time he
served in the Senate he received many
honors at the hands of his colleagues,
was elected President Pro Tenn Of
the Senate in 1905, and for a. short
time assumed the duties Of Lieutenant
Governor. He was recognized by his
associates as one Of the leading law
yers of the Senate and was consider
ed an authority on questions involy7
ing the construction of the State Con-
stitution. For the past twelve years
he has been connected with practical
ly all of the important litigation
arising in Linn and Sullivan counties
and is regarded by his associates as
one of the ablest lawyers of north
central Missouri.
1t is the belief of those who know
him best that if he should be nomin-
ated and elected Judge of the Circuit
Court that he would fill that position
in an eminently satisfactory Manner
Senator Fields has many warm per-
sonal friends who will extend him a
hearty greeting when he visits Chari-
ton County.

LAST SATURDAY WAS
A POOR DAY-STORMY

The merchants who are pulling off
these Saturday sales were up against
the real thing. To be sure, there
were number of people who brayed
the elements and came anyway to
take advantage of the bargains offer
ed and they all felt well repaid for
their trip to Keytesville.
The merchants are all good sports
and claim that this kind of weather
cannot last always, and that one Of
these days the farmers viii come to
town on Saturday and not be driven
to cover unceremOniously. In the
mean time the live advertisers want
their country friends to know that
they appreciate their trade, and T.
that end they are keeping right on d
advertising their Saturday specials.

year. Last year the levy voted by
the people of Mexico was 81. Sixty
cents of this amount to go to teach
ers' salaries and 40 cents for hciden-
tails and the upkeep of the buildings.
This with the levy provided for by
the law made $1.40 on the hundred
dollars valuation for school purposes.
When the valuation Of property was
raised the board voluntarily decreas-
ed this amount to S5 cents, the
amount voted by the people addition
al being only As cents instead of the
dollar voted.
The law further provides that the
school board may ask for the money
needed to take care of the bonded in
debtedness. Last year only Is cents
was asked for this purpose and 10
cents will do it this year as there is
a surplus on hand.
The levy asked for all school pur-
poses this year was 40 cents in con-
trast of the 81 voted last year and
still it was defeated.
