Bandits Rob a Missouri Bank.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Nov. 23.-The days
of the hard riding, quick shooting
James boys, who raided Gallatin, Mo-,
half century ago, were recalled to-
day when six bandits robbed the
First National Bank of "a, 900 in gold
and currency. This time the speedy
ponies which would sprint the instant
their masters finished the job and
jumped back to the saddle were miss
lag, but the watchers, holding the
crowd of citizens at bay while "inside
men" grabbed the loot, the detona-
tion of the exploding vault, the cor.
.nering,of the night watchman, the
wounding of the exceedingly curious
and the hurried getaway, all were
present.
Today's bandits came by motor.
They overlooked an extra $4,000 In
their hurry to depart, and they used
sawed. off shotguns instead Of reVolV-
ers to keep the crowd inundated.

To Tobacco Growers.

Discussing the question Of the fax
alton of tobacco in the hands of 1.-THE
growers which was presented to the
State Tax Commission by Vice Pte PSI
dents James N. Kehoe and Bush w.
Allin of the Burley Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association. Mr.. Kehoe
said the growers were not asking any
favors or any special consideration,
but that they simply asked their con-
stitutiondl right to exemption Of farm
products from taxatIou for a year af-
ter they are grown.
"We simply claim that, nnder the
constitution, farm products are ex-
empt from taxation for one year from
the time they are grown" said Mr..
Kehoe THE purpose of the trainers
of the constitution in that exemption
was to encourage agricultural produc-
tion and, consequently, reasonably
low prices for food products.
I'VE learned at Frankfort that the
farmers of Kentucky have been pay
ing taxes on farm products assessed at
S36, 900, 900, when as a matter of law
that property ought not to have been
assessed at all. The amount we ex.
pect to save the farmers who are mem.
bers of the Burley cooperative is a
tremendous sum, hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in the long run, Iand
our contention is that none of this
tax should be paid by the growers.

By S. P. Stapp

By S. P. Stapp
Nature doth now appear
In dress more beautiful and gay
Than Winters snow or flowers Of May
October days are here.
With red and brown and gold,
The woodlands are all gayly clad;
Yet still, there comes a thought
that's sad,
The year is growing old.
The chilly winds fast brings
The varicolored leaves to earth
To warm its bosom, till the birth
OF flowers and plants in Spring.
Ripe ears from cornshocks nod;
The meadows still with grass are
green;
On landscape everywhere is seen
The charming goldenrod.
Rich nuts are falling down
From laden boughs. The Squirrels
stir
Aminst the prickly chestnut burs,
Where nuts are crisp and brown.
And~high athWart the sky
In changing, yet in perfect form,
From regions cold to climes mora
warm,
The wild geese southwark fly.
Most beautiful of all
The months throughout the chang
ing year,
October! Give 20 US thy cheer,
Thou charming month of Fall.
In years as we grow old,
And must put off our dress so fair,
Our Summers dress, may we then
wear
OctOber's dress Of gold.

WHAT ABOUT RINGs2


The apparel oft proclaims the. man
Shakespeare.
TT MAY be that some friend Of yours
in Paris will write and tell you
that ''they" are wearing rings out
side Of their gloves In the French cap
ital, and from New York you may hear
that this fad has reached this side Of
the Atlantic. But in spite of this In
formation you will probably not
choose to wear your rings in this way,
and to do so would show not very good
taste If you belong to just sane, av-
erage group Of mOrtals who do not
strive after the new and unusual In
dress. For to wear rings over the
gloves is still so usual that 1t would
make you tremendOu y conspicuous II
you attempted it. But 1t has been an
established custom and there is Ia
nous portrait of a queen showing her
with a large ring on the index finger
of her gloved right hand.
A few actresses and women who like
the unusual in dress did wear rings
on the index finger a season or so ago.
but It was a passing fad, and not an
attractive one at that. You will no
tice, too, that women Of taste practi-
cally never wear rings on the middle
finger. They appear especially awk-
ward there. They are now worn al
most always either on the ring finger
or on the little finger.
1t is not in very good taste, and 1t
was never attractive, to wear many
rings on one finger. Fingers weighed
down by diamonds indicate that the
wearer is more anxious to show the
value of her rings than their beauty,
A married woman does not wear any
ring but her wedding and engagement
ring, or her wedding ring alone, on her
left hand ring finger. Oh course,
there are some married and engaged
women who do not care much for the
wearing of these betrothal and we'd
ding rings, who sometimes substitute
for them a ring of another sort. But
In this case the other ring should be
worn instead Of the wedding or be-
trothal ring and not with it.
The old-time rule used to be that O
well-bred woman never wore diamonds
In the morning, and you will still no
tice that most women of taste wear
none save in the form Of their engage
ment ring. At least, one should moi

reign of Edward I and Sarrota de
Moulton, who lived in a former reign,
was also supposed to possess a name
which was another and favOrite form
Of Sarah.
The French preferred Sara without
the ''h' and 1t still continues In great
vogue there. They have another form,
Sarotte, which is also popular. Ire
lands Sadhbh and Americas Sadie are
apparently the only other existing
forms.
Sadie has a curious talismanic gem

an image Of the sun. It viii bring her
peace, freedom from danger and dis
ease, and sound sleep. It Is particu-
larly lucky for children, and, 1t is said
that piece OF malachite tied to a

gers throughout later life. Saturday
