NOVEL CHINCH BUG WAR

A novel and very effective plan for
protecting an 80-acre field of corn
from chinch bug invasion is proving a
pronounced success on the st. Clair
Emmons farm, south of Paris. With
wheat fields and billions of bugs on
three sides of his corn, Emmons has
suffered no damage at all. He tells
about it as follows:
II plowed ditch 16 inches deep
around my corn when wheat harvest
started on three sides. The soil in this
ditch was dragged to a fine dust and
the wall of the ditch next to the corn
was treated to dose of hydrated
lime. The bugs soon swarmed out of
the wheat into my ditch but could not
get past the side THAI had been dosed
with lime. Every afternoon satur-
ate gunny sack with coal oil, attach
it to a stout stick, set fire to it and
drag it down the ditch. A gallon OF
oil will keep the sack blazing long
enough to cover a mile and a half.
The bugs, of course, are burned to
DEATH"
In spite of the trouble they ar,
causing him Enmons has good wort
for chinch bugs. He says they force
him to rotate his crops whether he
wants to or not.-Monroe County Ap-
peal.

FUTURE HOUSEWIVES
LEARN HOME MAKING

jefferson City, Mo-, July 5.--"I
consider the work of home-makihg as
important as any work done in our
schools said Sam Baker, State
Superintendent of Schools, in a re-
cent interview. Supt. Baker declared
that 'the time and money being spent
on the training We are giving our
boys will much of 1t go to waste unless
these boys are going into the right
kind of homes"
Supt. Baker said that one of the
most important phases of present-day
education is the training for home
making which is being given to girls
and women in Missouri high schools.
"When we consider the fact that 80
| per cent of our girls will be home
makers and that more than so per
cent of the income of the average
American is expended by the house
wife for clothing, food and shelter" !"
re marked Baker, 1--WE realize the
need for this training, since there are
more children in the profession Of
hcme-makihg than in any other oc-
cupation in this country"
In tracing the development of vo-
cational home economics education in
Missouri for the last three years un-
der the mith-Hughes Act, which
grants federal aid for this type of
work, according to Baker, there were
in 1918 but ten schools offering this
subject, with an enrolment of 240
students. For the year just closing,
he stated, there were 80 high schools
carrying on the work, with an enroll
ment of more than 1,25O; 130 evening
schools, with an enrolment of more
than 5000 and 35 part-time schools,
with $40 enrolled, making a total of
more than 1000 girls and women re-
ceiying training in the job of home
making.
It is Supt. Bakers conviction that
this phase of education has greatly
vitalized the connection between the
home and the schooPin every branch
of the domestic arts, and its practical
application is reflected in the growing
demand by the schools of the state
for vocational home economies.

NolI Released on Bond

Albert Noll, slayer of Homer Nc
Clintick on Thursday morning of last
week, was admitted to bail by Judge
Lamb in chambers Monday at Sails
bury, and was released from the Linn
county Jail Tuesday afternoon. He
passed through Marceline en- route to
his fathers home near Vein about 4
o'clock that day.
The amount of the bond was fixed
by Judge Lamb at $500. The bond
was given by the followoing parties:
Joseph Noll, father of Albert, An
ton Noll, an uncle, Mrs. Abraham, an
aunt, and Carl Schaefer, the latter
from Marceline, and the father Of
Albert Noll's wife. Sheriff Powell,
who accepted the bond, stated that
the total worth of the signers was in
the neighborhood of $75,0OO.0O.
The trial of the case against young
Noll will be called in the October term

plant in this heavy transmission
line will be built from Kansas City.
An office will be maintained here, and
it is probable that this will be the
central office for lines in all of this
section of Missouri. In fact, the
new campany bought this plant for
development purposes, and if we un-
derstant their object, CarrOllton is to
be be congratulated, for we will have
plant the equal of any in the state,
The company has the necessary
money to carry out their plans, and
they will expend it literally.
Who will be in charge of the office
here is not known yet. However, we
understand Mr.. Spaulding, who is
now superintendent, will remain
with the company, and Chief Engi-
neer Smith, will remain.
AS to the street railway, that is a
proposition. 1t has been losing in
yestmeat for the company and has
only been maintained because it was
such a great asset to the city. If oul
citizens will get behind it and the
city will protect it, it will be contin-
ued. That, as we understand it, is VI
to US.
The present company, of which 5
], Jones is the president, was organ
izsd in 1913. By the expenditure O
thousands Of dollars they have almosi
rebuilt the plant. and the service o
the past year is the best evidence o
the thoroughness of the work. Th'
company also eBtended the lines to al

VICTIM OF SHOOTING DIES

Courier readers will remember a
fortnight since we published the
y 49,. Hf shooting in Marceline. The
o'S , is the sequal:)
Homer McClintick, aged 20, who
was shot Thursday morning of last
week by Albert Noll, died in Mercy
hispital about l o'clock Friday morn
ing from his wounds. Prosecuting
attorney c. X. Hart, who had remain
ed in Marceline during the night, at
once had state warrant issued for
Noll, charging him with first degree
murder, and this was given to deputy
sheriff d. L.. Williams, who went to
Vein, to the home of Nolrs father,
and got his prisoner. He was brought
back to Marceline, and at o'clock a
preliminary examination was held be-
fore police judge S. N. Brown, at
which number of witnesses were ex-
amined.
The examination resulted in Judge
Brown binding the prisoner over for
the action of the circuit court, and he
was then placed in the custody of of
ficer Williams, who took him to Lin
neus and turned him over to Sheriff
Powell, and he was locked up.
The attorneys for Noll are C. NJ.
Kendrick and T. NJ. Bresnehen, the
latter from Brookfield.
The body of McClintock was pre-
pared for burial by Undertaken Me
Laughlin, and lay in the undertak-
ing rooms until Saturday morning
when the bullet which caused his
death was extracted and turned over
to the prosecuting attorney for evi-
dence. The body was then delivered
to the young mans mother, Mrs
Dave Brown, who lives at the corner.
of Missouri avenue and Bisbee.
Furenal services were held at the
NJ. E. Church Sunday afterniin, and
were conducted by Rev. ]. E. Chappell,
pastor of the Baptist church. The de-
deased united with the NJ. E. church
more than year ago. A large num-
ber of people attended the service, and
the interment was in Mt. 0livet.
McChntick is survived by the moth
er, three half brothers, Clarence, Ken
meth and Virgil Brown, an own sis
ter, Mrs. Ethel Neff of Browning, four
half sisters, Mrs. Ralph MeKinsey,
Mrs. Felix Gilsld, of Brool1ield, Mrs.
Emma Foley of Marceline, step sis
ter, and Vinetta and Mildred Brown
of Marceline. A step sister, Mrs. EN-
ma Patton, lives in Boone, Iowa. Near
ly all of these were present at the
funeral services.
McClintick was 20 years old the
10th of last January. He was in the
employ of the Santa Fe as section
man. During the war he was at the
Great Lakes training station, Chica-
go, and made two trips through the
Panama canal to Washington.
Pearl Hall, the Marceline photo
grapher, took number of pictures of
the scene of the shooting, which will
be used later in the trial of young
Noll. These pictures were taken for
the prosecution, and re-enacted, as
nearly as possible, the events of the
tragedy.

the various contests. The reporter
worked hard, fast and furiousIy in get
ting the names of many here from
abroad. To be sure thousands were
missed, but they were welcomed by all.
At the Carnival grounds old and
staid time-scarred citizens cast dig
nifty to the discard and rode the mer-
ry-gO-round with reckless abandon
that left nothing to be desired. 1t
was noted that many dignified mat
rons were busy collecting an OCCASION
al youngster to give "him" a ride. 1t
was also noticed that even bankers
were taking sporting chance in at
tempting to beat the other fellows
game at the different booths and the
abandon that characterized these eff
forts would have delighted the eye of
any thtee-shell game man.
Yes, bankers, lawyers and doctors
won ab occasional bottle of perfume,
a cupid doll and a vanity glass. And
why not?
The candidates? j? Yes they were in
evidenfe, performing in most highly
and approved manner. 1t was great
day for many of them. Wednesday
they were booking for st. Jacobs Oil
to help timber up much abused mus

marks of toil-the cleanup, so to
speak.

One hundred and forty-six years
ago last Tuesday a group of patriots
assembled Somewhere" in America
and wrote and signed a document
which has attained more or less prom
inence and which has been handed
down to posterity--yea, even to We of
these modern times in the year Of
1922.
This aforesaid document is about
the only thing that Jim Reed has not
successfully attacked during a period
of late years-down at Washington.
Keytesville celebrated that event in
the true 1876 spirit, with all the lit
tie frills thereto attached that the
people of each succeeding year have
been able to invent.
In the writing of that historical
document, however, the signers over
looked one most important thing,
which the prominent American peo-
pie all of these years have not seen
fit to incorporate into the original
that something not heretofore read in
to the records has something to do
with clause about just the right kind
of weather for each succeeding an
niversary. However, the weather man
did not wait for an amendment, but
proceeded to furnish brand of wea-
ther which could not be improved up
on. People of Missouri this year are
| tipping their hats to the aforesaid
W. m. Personally, the Courier man
wishes to take back all the unchari-
table things We have ever said about
this fellow. He has proven himself
to be the right man in the right place.
P. S. When the Hon. Breck. Long
takes his place in the millionaire
club at Washington, we suggest
he attach a rider to the original docu-
ment providing for the right kind of
National Independence anniversary
day weather. With Long in the Sem
ate and the Hon. Judge Rueker in the
House there should be no difficulty in
getting this important measure upon
record.
1t was a glorious day, this 1922
Fourth of July. Everybody had a
good time. The Keytesville program
| was carried out to the letter.
The Carnival company had an at
tendance highly satisfactory to all.
The attendance for the day and the
evening to all events has been various
ly estimated to be between four and
six thousand.
The air men performed in the air.
Young America operated all devises
for celebrating independence day in a
manner that left nothing to be de-
sired.
No one was injured. All autos per-
formed as well as thoroughly broken
steeds should. Occasional evidences
of the efficiency of "White Mule" left
nothing to be desired. Yes, it was a
dee-lightful day for the crowds as
sembled.
In spite of the celebration of the
146th anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration of American Inde-
pendence, the Courier comes to its
