THE LOCOMOTIVE OF BUSINESS

Recently William Wrigley, Jr., the
man who made a certain chewing gum
famous, was talking in the smoking
car Of an eastern train when one of
his hearers brought up the subject Of
advertising and questioned the neces-
sity for the further advertising of the
Wrigley gum.
"Mr. Wrigley," he said, You spent
millions of dollars and created a
splendid demand that is steady and
that is still growing. Isn't it waste,
to continue spending 50 many hun
dred thousands Of dollars year in
publicity?"
Mr.. Wrigley thought it over, then
explained: "If / were to stop adver-
tising it would be just like taking
the engine off this train. 1t would
slow down and after little while, stop
is the locomotive Of bust
ness, and if you don't have it, busineSs
comes to a stop."-Joplin Globe.

GIVES TREATMENT
GRAPE ROOT WORM
From the joplin Globe.

FAplh NiAC oOPitii oiObCs
Grape rootworm is causing much
anxiety among growers of the district
more anxiety to growers than dam.
age to vines. Inspection of many
vines in the district was made yester-
day by J. A. Eastridge, fruit special
ist for the Chamber of Commerce and
the insect identified.
Holes in leaves are the evidence OF
it this time of year. Shortly after
ward the female will begin to deposit
eggs under the bark Of last years
wood. The insect hibernates in the
grub stage several inches deep in the
soil.
The insect enters the moth stage
and pupates just before the grape
blooms. The moth now is in evidence
and will be found on many of the
plants.
Control of the root borer is accom-
plished through poisoning during the
adults feeding on the leaves Of the
grape vine. A 50-gallon mixture may
be made by the use of one gallon OF
molasses, one and one-half pounds of
powdered or three pounds of paste
arsenate of lead to fifty gallons of
water. The first application should
be thorough and should be made after
the first evidence of the feeding of the
adults are seen. 1t should be repeated
after ten days.

MONETT MAKES WAR ON
MOSQUITOES


The city officials are making an
effort to prevent the mosquito pest in
the town this year. They have been
burning the trash at the dumping
ground for several days. They first
covered it with oil and then set fire
to it. They expect to use oil freely
all summer in the vinicity Of the sep
tic tank where trash has been dumped
They will also use oil in the sewers of
the town, hoping to keep a coating of
oil on the drain from the tank and
thus prevent breeding of mosquitoes.
These are precautions which are to
be commended, but a great deal of
responsibility yet rests on the citizens
of the town. they should see that no
tin cans are allowed to remain in the
open. They should be kept in closed
receptacle until they can be disposed
of. Weeds should be kept cut, for the
mosquitoes harbor in weed patches.
Should there be any stagnant water
or boggy places, these should be oiled
occasionally.
These precautions should be taken
now, before the mosquitoes come.
After they hatch and are on the wing
it will be too late. Every citizen
should feel his own responsibility and
should cooperate with the city in
having a summer free from this pest.

at the inquest. He did not see the
second shot fired. He said that when
Bolinger left the house before get
ting the pistol that he heard him say
something about killing" The other
witnesses testified that they did not
hear him say that.
Ted .Keithly's testimony was practi-
cally the same as IsbelPs up to the
time of the shooting. He said he and
Raymond Mccormick were standing
in the west side of the kitchen after
the fight between Mccormick and
Bolinger, in which the men were
separated by Isbell and himself. AT
that time he said that Bolinger did
not have any blood on his face. Bolin-
ger went out of the house and went
around east of the house to the back.
Keithly heard Isbell's warning,
Lookout, he's coming with gum y
and ran out tie front door just as he
heard the second shot fired. Looking
around he saw Mccormick fall out the
south screen door of the kitchen. He
was badly frightened and ran toward
town. He testified that between the
first and second shot he heard break
ing glass in the kitchen. Bolinger
came around the house carrying pis-
tol and with his face all bloody.
Joe Jackson testified as to the
position of the body and the wound.
He said there were powder burns on
the right temple and that the bullet
had evidently been fired from the
right through to the left of the head.
He said that they found Bolinger
about an hour after the murder, on
the road northwest of his place near
Owen Murray's farm. His car had
run into a post and Bolinger was
walking down the road north, saying
that he was going to Ora Teel's. He
said Bolinger was evidently drunk.
His face was bloody. Mr.. Jackson
stated that he saw on the floor az
Bolinger's house close to McCormick's
body, a broken lamp and a kitchen
knife.
Jas. Johnson's testimony was prac-
tically the same as Mr.. Jackson's. He
made second trip to the place and
found whiskey in a bed in Bollinger's
house and some wine in jug in the
yard. He found pistol in the wood
box back of the kitchen stove from
which two chambers had heen dis
charged. He said that on their way to
town with Bolinger, the man talked
considerably and said ''he was sorry
he had to kill him."
Mrs. Fisher testified that on her
demand that she be taken back to
town after she found that Mrs. Bolin-
ger was not at home, that Raymond
Mccormick walked back to his car.
His switch key was not in it and he
accused Bolinger of taking it. On
Bolinger's denying that he had it,
Raymond called him a bad name and
hit him. She said the men went back
into the house, and she heard them
fighting. She was frightened and
started to walk back to town. She
saw the first shot fired, heard the
second one but did not see it. She
said she saw Raymond Mccormick
put the key, over which they quarrel

Last night l woke up with my mind

mons and the grand singing we had
there. The hundreds OF young people
who were ever on the move. tho cook

catables rs only our old black mamma
could get Up. No such cooks in these
latter days. When the Broad Mouth
Creek girls Camc over, what Il dali
cious time we had promcnading
around with them to the different
tents to see friends, c3corting them to

young folks had to go down to the big
spring to drink the mineral Mater At
night preaching most every boy would
carry out his girl and set up to her rs
close as a kitten to a hot brick What
good times we had. Later / had to
fill my promised visit over the creek.
I saddllcd old Yaller John and rode
over. After time, primping, pow
dering and fixing up, my girl came
out and invited me TO go out on the
tGiaZza to enjoy the cool breezes. We
talked over the rare old camp meet
ing times; all the time she was max
ing her knitting needles click in the
pair Of hose she was working on. She
had a way of rolling the top Of the
hose down into round ball. Her
mother came out and insisted on her
showing me her work. The fine home
spun thread, bleached perfectly
white and the artistic shape of the
hose. She then seated herself at the
other end of the piazza. Soon heard
her storm out: Get out you little
