DIR. GEORGE STILL
KILLED IN ACCIDENT

Kirksville, Mo-, Nov. 24-Coronel
DR.. Bigsby tonight announced that
the death of DR.. George S. Still, pres
ident of the American School of Os-
teopathy, here last night was accident
al, and that it was not necessary to
hold formal inquest. The coroner
made the announcement after taking
to several relatives of DR.. Still who
witnessed the accident.
DIR. Still was shot and killed when
a new automatic pistol which he was
exhibiting to a party of friends at his
home slipped from his hand and was
discharged.
The accident occurred in the log
banquet" back in the rear of the doc
tors residence and a few minutes af-
ter the majority of guests at the par
ty had departed. Earlier in the even
ing while dancing DR.. Still had bump
ed into wall and had broken the in
dex finger of his right hand.
Taking the pistol from his pocket
he remarked that he intended to
protect some poultry which he had
purchased.
The automatic fell and in attempt
ing to pick it up it was discharged jim
stantly killing DR.. Still. Witnesses
said the fractured finger probably
caused the doctor to tumble the weap-
on.
He was known widely as a lead
ing osteopath and had travelled and
studied abroad. He was a nephew of
the founder of osteopathy DR.. A. T.
Still.
All schools in Kirksville were
closed today out of respect for him.
His funeral will be held Sunday.

A PATHETIC SCENE
IN CIRCUIT COURT
From the Cassville Democrat.

l
One of the most pathetic scenes
that has occurred in our circuit court
in sometime was occasioned by the
arraignment of four small boys
charged with petty thieving. Three
of these boys are sons of widows and
the fourth one tile son of poverty.
The arraignment took place Tuesday
afternoon and the mothers of these
four boys were with them and pleaded
with Judge Henson for parole.
After mature consideration the
Judge decided to parole these boys
into the custody of their mothers, to
report as it is required by the law of
Missouri at future terms of court and
at the time of the parolement, the
fatherly talk which the Judge gave to
these boys, and the advice which he
gave to their mothers, should have
been heard by every boy and girl in
every part of Barry county.
Judge Henson first told the mothers
that he regarded the waywardness of
the boys as being due largely to the
neglect of the parents, that instead of
being kept in school and off the street
and required to be at something use
full the boys had been permitted to
run at large and if they were not re-
formed and developed INFO good citi
zens, it would be because the parents
from this time on did their duty and
their whole duty.
The boys were told that their fu-
ture was in their own hands, that they
had it in their power 10 go to school I
and make good citizens out of them
selves and in case they failed to do
this that it was only question of
time until they landed in the peni-
tentiary as the result of bad conduct.
That by reason Of their youth the
people would forget that they had
been guilty of the misdemeanor with
which they are charged and that no
stain would result thererrom and he
further told them that he expected to
keep a watchful eye over their con-
Iuct and that they report to him from
.erm to term, must show progress and
good behavior and their failure to do
his would cause revocation of their
parole. The Judge said that too many
seemed to think that their
'ull duty was discharged to their chill
lren when they We're fed and clothed
,ut that was among the least of
duties; that parents should
Zee that their children are in school :
md keep proper company and are not
'unning wild when they are not in
school and it was failure on the part
# the parents to discharge this duty;
he duty of keeping vigilant and
areful watch over their children's !
conduct, that was the primary cause
# boys and girls entering lives of
rime. That all of the boys that had
een brought before him during his 8
tx years of the bench, the fact that
one of these boys except one had adj 8
anced in school as far as the high :
chool, had led him to believe that de- :
nquency of boys and girls was caus- ,
d by the deficient training and
on the part of parents.

The Ocala banner., 1922-06-02

found overcoats and wraps mighty
comfortable every day we were there.
In my opinion the Florida climate is
far ahead of the California brand
[ "On one or two days when We. were
told that it was wonderfully fine
weather. our own private reaction
was that we'd think such days mighty
chilly in the course of a Florida wint-
er and wouldn't be disposed to brdg
of them at ALL
However, don't want to be knock
ing California. 1t has many things
Florida does not possess. If it
should prove that the citrus industry
has had a serious blow there are
many other things to which the grow
ers can turn their attention and even
with greater profit. There is the won
derful mountain scenery. There is the
wonderful tourist crop and last, but
by no means least, there is the won
derful spirit of the people.
Though I believe with all my heart
that nature has done more for Florida
| than it has for California, yet man, in
California, has done infinitely more
than man has done in Florida. Our
best developments are as nothing
compared with what has been done
there. Civic spirit with us simply
does not exist as compared with the
way the sons Of the Golden West
exemplify it. A look at the way they
have beautified their state makes us
ashamed of the little that we have
done here in comparison with the op-
portunfties we have had. We have
tremendous work TO do here be-
fore we can measure up with Califor-
mia.
However, the natural resources are
here. We have the land, the climate,
all the natural surroundings to make
this the finest citrus spot in the world.
After seeing California / am
convinced that any man who sells raw
land suitable for citrus for
less than $500 an acre is making
present of the difference to the man
he deals with.
I'VE have the location, but we must
develop team work before we can
hope TO take full advantage of our op-
portunities. OF thar have never felt
surer
Il am thoroughly convinced that
something must be started in a large
way through some well organized ef-
fort before we can hope to expect to
complete seriously with southern Cali
fornia in civic way"
