MORE ABOUT REDUCING
BY Edna Kent Forbes

MORE ABOUT REDUCING
The last time we were discussing
reduction we said that the body &C
quired a certain amount of energy
every day in the form of food. 1t
also lost a certain amount of energy
every day through work and exercise.
If it acquires more than it eXpend5
tho surplus energy becomes fat. This
is as simple and absolute a rule as the
fact that two and two make four, and
there are no exceptions. That is why

BEGIN THE BIG ROAD JOB
Tentative ApportiOnment of Bond
Money is Made by Commission.

Jefferson City, April 21.-The state
road commission today made a ten
tative apportionment of road bond
money among the ia counties as pro-
vided under the new road law. L.
Newton Wylder, for the commission,
was instructed to get up an order
carrying out the apportionment plan.
This is in preparation for beginning
on the big state highway under the
60-million dollar issue.
The resolution providing the
method of laying out the primary
system" of fifteen hundred miles:
Whereas, 1t is deemed advisable by
the commission, owing to the great
rivalry that has developed between
the proponents Of the various routes
that have been suggested for inclus-
ion in the primary system of high
ways, to have in so far as possible,
expert engineering advice that will
be entirely free from any claim of
personal or local interest or prejudice
of any-kind.
Be 1t Resolved, That the resolution
passed by the commission on Wednes-
day, February %, 1922, instructing
the chief engineer and consulting
engineer of the commission to investi-
gate and prepare a report giving
their recommendations regarding the
routes that should be selected in the
primary system, amended so IS 20
provide that the chairman Of the COM
mission request the chief Of the
bureau of public roads to detail two
engineers of that department, who are
not at the present or at any time have
been identified with the state of Mis-
souri,, to make an investigation and
prepare a report giving their recon-
mendations regarding the most feas-
ible routes for the $500 mile system
of primary roads.
Under the advice of Mr.. Wylder the
commission decided that no part Of
the 81 increase on motor licenses, pro-
vided by the legislature be set aside
for a road maintenance fund. Many
persons believed the increased license
fee was for a maintenance fund, but
the commission found no appropri-
alton had been made for that purpose.
The board tentatively adopted a
marker system for state roads. The
proposed marker is to be of metal on
a creosote post, is to be put three
hundred feet from each intersection
and at the intersection of state roads.
Bids will be received for markers on
the ocean to ocean highway, from
Hannibal to st. Joseph.

Montgomery Ward & Co., were one
of the bidders on the $120,000.00
worth of merchandise which was
recently purchased by the Kansas
State institutions. The list to be
bought comprised IT'S items and one
of the rules of the competitive bid
ding was that the bids in these state
contracts should be accompanied by
samples of goods which were to be
supplied. Montgomery Wards repre-
sentative was there with trunks and
samples, but instead of getting the
$12O, 900 worth of business, they were
successful bidders on but two items
oatmeal and bath brushes-less than
$175.0O worth of business.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION

The International Sunday School
convention is to be held in Kansas
City June 21-27. Barry county is
allotted s delegates to this convention.
The Barry County Sunday School
Association is especially anxious that
as many as s delegates from this
county attend this great convention.
The county has been honored with
more delegates than could really have
been expected.
Harold J. Harper and Miss Ethel
Harper of Purdy are to attend the
convention as two of the delegates.
Each of the eight districts i'll the
county should by all means try to
send at least one delegate but as this
will likely NOT be possible there are
to be no restrictions and each town or
community in the county is being urg-
ed to send just as many delegates as
can be induced to go.
This will be an opportunity of a
lifetime for Missouri Sunday School
workers and it is to be hoped that
Barry county will take advantage Of
the opportunity and send her full
quota of delegates. This matter must
be decided upon promptly. All per-
sons in the county who mean to at
tend the convention should notify
Harold ]. Harper, Purdy, or Mrs. M.
L. Ingram Cassville soon.

JAKE SWARTZEL KILLS
VERONA MAN
Shoots Ira C. Thomas in Front of his
Dry Goods Store. Swartzel
Gives Self Up.

Gives Self Up.
Ira C. Thomas, As years old, widely
known Verona business man, was
shot and killed in front of his dry
goods store in Verona at 6 o'clock
Tuesday evening. Jake Swartzel, 40,
farmer residing one-half mile east
of Verona, is being held under a
charge of first degree murder in con-
nection with the shooting.
Thomas died almost instantly from
the effects of three bullet wounds in
flicted in rapid succession in his
breast.
Following the shooting, according
to the authorities, Swartzel went to a
Verona garage and handed his re-
volver to Alva McKelvey, city mar
shall. Swartzel is quoted as having
said in reply to a question as to why
he did it:
Il have nothing to say. 1t will all
come out in the trial. I had to do it.
He ruined my home"
Swartzel later went in motor car
TO Mount Vernon and gave himself
up to the authorities. He is being
held in the county Jail there.
Jewell Thomas, II years old, daugh-
ter of the slain man, was an eye wit
ness to the tragedy. She was stand
ing in the door of her fathers store
at the time. Six or eight other per-
sons were standing across the street
and also saw the shooting.
The motive of the killing remains
a mystery.
Swartzel, according to the authori-
ties, had been in Thomas store six or
eight times during the day and en-
gagged the merchant in conversation.
They apparently were on the most
friendly terms.
Even during the conversation dur
ing which Thomas was slain, their
talk seemed to be friendly and gave
no indication of an impending tragedy
No words were exchanged nor was
there any show of feeling.
Persons who talked with Swartzel
during the day said that he gave no
indications of having had trouble with
Thomas.
The object of Swartzel's visits to
the store was not known to the auth
critics. One story was to the effect
that Swarzel sought to borrow money
from Thomas, but that could not be
verified.
Authorities also were unable to
throw any light on Swartzeps pur-
ported statement regarding Thomas
having "ruined his home"
Thomas is from, widely respected
family of Barry county. J. H. Thomas
of Cassville, an abstractor, is a
brother.
A widow, two daughters and 8 sons
survive Thomas.
Swartzel formerly lived at Monett,
where he was for time switchman
for the Frisco. He has wife, a
daughter, 1S, and son, 20.
A warrant charging murdersin the
first degree was sworn out
Tuesday night by J. A. Pot
ter, prosecuting attorney Of
Lawrence county before Monroe
Browning, justice of the peace at
Verona, Swartzel's preliminary hear
ing probably will be held at Verona
Friday.
Jake Swartzel is brother of Walt
er Swartzel Of Monett and made his
home here for many years. He was
man of quiet manner, attending strict
ly to his own affairs and was well
respected here.
