ton was mentioned for special praise
in the conduct of the collectors office.
Altogether the audit shows that we
have had shlendid work in practically
all our offices and there is no indica
tion that officers have in any way
abused the trust the people have plac-
ed il them. This audit cost Shannon
county 81, 1924 and we stand to re-
ceive in return s13.46 by errors made
in settle ments. This is as most of our
citizens thought, so far as we can
learn. However, the law authorizes
an audit on the petition of 800 tax
payers. The same is made and we
trust that the result will be beneficial.
Officers need corporation of the
citizens in fulfilling their duties, and
if this were done we could obtain bet
ter results a great deal cheaper

This county had similar experience

THE report of the audit of Messrs.
Mayer and Beck, who were sent to
Shannon county at the request of
State Auditor Hacknsann, backed by
a petition OF 300 qualified petitioners,
to audit the books of the County Clerk
for a period of 10 years and of all
other offices of the county for period
of years, discloses very few dis
crepanoies. 1t appears that "a former
Treasurer failed to pay his successor
$7.91 that should have been paid and
which error was overlooked by the
Treasurer and the court II his set
tlement. 1t is also found that the
Treasurer in question had that amount
to his credit in fhe bank as Treasurer
to pay the amount. 1t was found that
former Circuit Clerk had at one time
paid in too much fees and at another
time an error was found in which had
not paid in the proper amount, both
small errors resulting in claim BY
the auditors that said clerk should
pay To the county $5.55. Much praise
was given to most officers on the con-
duct Of their offices ana scme were
reported as being derelict in attend
ance to their duties. Collector Chill

In one instance Senator Spencer
may be accredited with consistency.
He voted for the seating of Newberry
and now stands by Goldstein, regard
less of the alleged shortcomings OF both
men. Some of his fellow Senators
who swallowed the Michigan camel al
one gulp are now gagging atthe Gold
stein gnat. But our Senator is moi
built that way. He is party man

READ in the current news of the
day: "They are to put a muzzle on
any newspaper that opposes prohibi-
tion and send the editors to jail, and
they are to order out the army to en-
force the Volstead act. At least the
New York State Methodists in con-
clave at Syracuse have so ordained by
resolution, and they call upon the Fed :
eral government for appropriate ac-
tion." Tam not surprised at this. 1t
is in strict accord with the other
things the truly pious and ultra holy
reformers have in mind for the re-
straint and correction of the wicked.
What right ought pertain to the sin
ner against Prohibition, any way? He
is an outcast and entitled to no con-
sideration. except to be summarily
suppressed. His fate is sealed, but he
must not, while tarrying on this vale
of tears, be permitted to spread his
sacreligious and blasphemous doctrine
of personal liberty" or any other
liberty, except that laid down as per-
missible in the catechism OF the
Schupps and Volsteads. In sober ear
nest, never heretofore in this land OF
freedom has fanaticism taken such a
flight, though, by like intolerance,
the Old World has time and again
been drenched in blood and tears and
sent hellwards in wickedness. The
good Lord preserve America from such
fate! Let US all join in effort for
the conversion of the "reformers''
and the preservation of the heritage
bequeathed US by the American Faith
ers.

The Steelville Ledger in its last is
sue announces authoritatively that
former State Senator Frank H. Farris
of Rolla, several times Representa-
tive, first from Crawford and then
Phelps county, has listened to the
lure of his friends and declared he is
a candidate for State Senator from
the Twenty fourth District which in
cludes CrBwford, Dent, Iron, Phelps,
Reynolds and Washington counties.
1t is also announced that Senator
Carter M. Buford of Ellington, Rey-
nolds county, the present incumbent,
will give away to Farris who once be-
fore represented the district in the
Senate, being elected in 1898. Two
years hence, it is stated, Senator Bu-
ford will again make the race for the
Democratic nomination for Lieuten-
ant Governor. The honor was be-
slowed on him in 1920 but he went
down gloriously in defeat with the re-
mainder of the party ticket In the
heart-rendeing Republican avalanche
which then swept the nation.

USED TIME TO ADVANTAGE
Napoleon Probably Occupied Hours
Which He Was Forced to Spend
in Unjust Confinement.

When Napoleon was forming the
Code Napoleon, he astonished the
council of state by the readiness with
which he illustrated any point in dis
cussion by quoting whole passages, ex-
.tempore, from the Roman civil law,
a subject entirely foreign to him, as
his whole life had been passed in the
camp. On being asked by Trellhard
how he had acquired so familiar a
knowledge Of law, Napoleon replied:
"When I was lieutenant. l was
once unjustly put under arrest. The
small room assigned for my prison con-
tanned no furniture, save an old chair
and cupboard. In the latter was a
ponderous volume, which proved to be
a digest Of the Roman law. AS I had
neither paper, pens, ink or pencil, you
may easily imagine this book to have
been valuable prize to me. 1t was
so blu ~, and the leaves We're so COW
cred by marginal notes IN manuscript,
that had I been confined 100 years, I
need never to have been fdle. / was
only ten days deprived Of my liberty,
but on recovering it, was saturated
with Justinian, and the decisions Of
the Roman legislators. 1t was thus
I acquired my knowledge Of the civil
law" .... b .... ,......--.5 = -. "'.

GOT IDEA FOR WATER WHEEL
World Greatly Indebted to Humble
" Cow and Mans Quick Percep- y.
a. s. a-1. tion for the Turbine. -

f. The huge hydro-electric power de-
velopment now reaching every part
Of the world owes its origin to a
homely incident which took place in
California many. years ago, in which
an early day miner and his COW
were the chief factors. ;% :
History and legend relate that on
q hot day In the summer of 1860 a
typical placer miner Of, that period
toiled on his claim. To supply water
for washing the gold-bearing gravel
he had provided long length of or
binary hose, and as the fall above
was considerable the water gushed
from the hose with decided force. As
the sun sank the COW came to the
workings to slake her thirst, and was
in danger Of upsetting some of the
sluices and other devices Of the
placer miner. So the man turned the
hose on the cow, BY chance the water
blast struck the. COW in her cup-like
nostrils, throwing her head back
sharply. g.:
The man was Lester A.. PeltOn, out
from Ohio on mining venture, and
later world famous as the inventor
Of the Pelton water wheel, the de-
vice which forms the basis Of the
great turbines which transform water
into electric energy. ."~.' '.'
Pelton Said many times that the
idea Of the invention came to him
when he saw the effect Of the water
blast coming in contact with the cows
nose. Within an hour he was rigging
up wagon wheel with empty cans
tied to the rim and wis able to prove
the value Of what was later to be his
great invention. ~. - -. ygsrsy

Long Cross Country Hike.

Father Time Is the only spectator
at this celestial sporting event, but he
must find it a thrilling one. In 49,
0OOLyear voyage from the stars to the
earth, pulses Of blue and yellow light
run a neck-and-neck race, according
to a bulletin issued by the Harvard
College observatory. Travelling $780,
900 miles a second, the two kinds Of
light do not differ In velocity as much
as an inch a second, the bulletin says
In the entire journey neither gains as
much as two minutes. -,-. ...-. =
This conclusion has been reached
by study Of faint variable stars in re-
mote clusters, one Of the brightest
and nearest of which Is designated
Messier s. The distance from the
earth of this ball-shaped swarm of
thousands Of giant stars, just calcu-
lated by Harvard astronomers, Is
announced as 1872 kiloparsecs or near
ly 10000 light years-a cross-country
hike Of more than two hundred thou.

.Aint We Got Fun
Oh You Wedding Ring
Birds Always Busy,

All through the winter months our
forests are searched, tree after tree,
by ,nuthatches, titmouses, creepers,
kinklets and woodpeckers for eggs and
other alternating forms of insects,
says the American Forestry Magazine.
Al spring advances, as buds open, rs
tiny caterpillars and grubs emerge
from the egg, come the hosts of ar
boreal birds-sparrows, lthrushes, war
blers and others-sweeping through the
woods in migration. Under normal
conditions they destroy something like
% per cent of the tiny caterpillars
Matching upon the external parts of
trees before those caterpillars become
large enough to attract notice.
