KILL GRANDPA OF BIG BEARS
Immense Bruin, Believed to Be Oldest
Of His Kind in Alaska, Bagged
by Hunter.

Seattle, Wash.-What is believed 10
be Alaska's oldest bear was killed by
an Indian hunter near Anchorage and
the skin and head sent here on yes
sci. The animal was OF Immense size,
the hide measuring IL feet ! inch In
length. The height Of the bear was
i feet at the shoulder The Indian
hunter and white men who traded for
the pelt estimated the weight Of the
animal 81 100 pounds.
The fact that bruin was tOothless
and almost clawless leads natives
who have inhabited the Anchorage
section for generations TO believe IL is
one long hunted. Their fOrefathers
held grudge against an old bear be-
cause In an early day, more than half
century ago. he is alleged To have

governors and good senators. He is
honest sincere and able. His early
life and his entire professional and
business career were interviewer with
the masses. and he knows how to in
terpret and serve their interests And
in that fact may be found Ralston's )
great hold upon the citizenship of In
diana. He is dstinctively Hoosier,
although he was born in Ohio. but
came TO this state when lad eight
years old. He appreciates and is in
sympathy with those ambitions and
those ideals which have made for In
diana a place in the nation.
Governor Ralston made a good gov
ernor tested by any standard that may
be offered. His administration has the
distinction OF having paid the state
out of debt. When he was elected In
diana was heavily indebted to the
amount OF many hundred thousand
dollars. and practically every institu-
ton in the state-educational, penal
benevolent and reformatory was
lacking in funds. During his admins
tration every institution was put upon
a sound financial basis. The educa-
tional institutions were given twice as
much money as they ever had before,
and ample funds were provided for
all other institutions. The penal farm
was established and paid for: one
hundred thousand dollars were paid
TO the farmers OF Indiana to reimburse
them for damages to their cattle by
reason of the hoof and mouth disease
Public improvements were not stinted.
but were scrutinized with care. The
efficiency OF the several departments
OF state was in no wise hampered. yet
the RalSton administration left the
state with a balance in its treasury
OF three million. seven hundred and
ffty-five thousand. nine hundred nine
ty-seven dollars and ninety-eight
cents He left the state out OF debt
for the first time in eighty-two years.
A finer record for economy. good judg-
ment and common sense has never

Realizing the need OF systematic CO.

went outside OF the regular duties OF
his office in the spring OF 1915. and

AS representative of the citizen

uel M. RalstOn for the high Office OF

Boone county is the old home Of
Samuel NJ. Ralston. The people Of

serve the state as its chief executive.
His useful, upright and publicspirited
life in this community won the conf

classes OF our citizenship long before
he sought political honors, and neither

those who did not qualify as such.
Two hundred and fifty-fve of the
o02 athletes of this period were in
cluded in the upper half of the class
grouped enthusiastically, and 247 were
in the lower half. A like proportion
was indicated when a class was di
vided in order to restore the four-year
course after the war. 1t was found
that there was a slight advantage or
the part of the athletes, rather more
than half being in the upper group OF
scholars.
The slight scholastic advantage ex
tends TO the midshipmen who have
won letters in one or two sports, but
1t Is notable that Ii did not extend
TO those who had won three letters
ilVicating that they have been in ac
tive training for an athletic team
during practically the whole Of the
scholastic year.
The average standing of midship-
man who had won one letter was 4S.34
in hundred, and that of a twO-letter
man 49.11. The standing of three-let
ter men, however, fell TO 55.14 1t is
now the rule at the academy that
midshipman may join but two team
squads during the scholastic year
Same Conclusions at Harvard.
a recent official investigation at
Harvard has developed about the same
conclusions, but it is believed that the
principle that properly conducted ath-
letics do not interfere with studies is
general. The conclusions reached as
TO the success of athletes in the serv-
ice. although not of such general ap-
plication, are of much interest.
II was shown that there was no
doubt at all that the athletes had a
stronger tendency to stay in the serv-
ice than their comrades in the acad-
emy. An examination Of the history
OF all the members of certain classes
which had been in the service for
from % to 80 years showed that 90
per cent of the nOn-athletes had be-
come separated from the service, while
but 40 per cent Of the One-letter men
and 30 per cent of the twO-letter men
had lost their connection with 1t.
The board indicated its belief that,
while the improvement of health and
strength from athletics might have had
something 10 do with this condition,
the controlling factor was the attach
ment 10 the service engendered
through active participation in sports.

John T. Brown, 81 years old, former
president of the Home Savings Bank
Of Fulton died at his home in Fulton
Saturday evening. Death was partly
caused by being overcome BY the heat
and by general breaking down due
to his advanced age. Mr.. Brown was
born in Pettis County, Missouri and
spent most of his young manhood
there. He came 10 Fulton in 1873
and entered the drug business con-
tinuing in it nntil 1890 when he be-
came connected with the Home Saw
ings Bank and was president Of that
institution until three years ago.
Mr.. Brown is man who occupied a
high place in the community and his
death will be regretted by a large
circle of friends.

new ROADS
TO Be DIRECT
ACROSS STATE

The primary road system Of fifteen
hundred miles, to be laid out shortly
by the Missouri highway commission,
will follow direct lines between the
principal population centers Of the
state.
In explaining the work that has
been done in preparation for mapping
the higher type road system, R. J.
Windrow, personal representative of
Theodore Gary, chairman of the COM
mission, indicated that the shortest
routes would be followed. That would
result in passing by the small towns
and villages not on the direct routes.
The smaller towns win be compelled
to build connecting links.
Should the commission attempt to
connect every small town on routes
between the larger cities, the primary
road system would wind about, and
the limited road mileage provided in
the state roads law would be ex-
hausted in building merely local
roads, Mr.. Gary pointed out. The in
tent of the law was to serve the
smaller towns with the seventy-five
hundred miles of secondary roads.
Mr.. Windrow admitted there might
be much complaint from the small
towns which are not on the direct
routes of the primary system.
Mr. Gary's engineering expert and
B H. Piepmeier, state highway engi-
neer, will have ready all data within
the next two weeks, Mr.. Windrow
said. A special meeting of the COM
mission then will be called.
Mr.. Windrow said there would be
one primary road between Kansas
City and St. Louis, but indicated the
limited mileage at present would not
permit more than one road. He said
that generally the primary roads
would follow the routes of the Sec
ondary system of seventy-five hun
dred miles between the larger towns,
except where shorter andbetter routes
were desired. The engineering ex-
pert was emphatic in stating that
construction work on the new state
system would begin this
year.
Before the primary road system
finally is established public bearings
are planned.
