A RECORD RAIN STORM
STARTING MONDAY A. NJ.

Monday morning at 5.15 this Sec
ton of the immediate vicinity was
visited by steady downfall of rain
that continued until late in the after
noon. 1t has been estimated that
from six to eight inches of water fell
during this time, and as a conse-
quence much of the low land on the
bottoms is under water. 1t has been
reported that the Musselfork and the
Charlton river is out of bounds and
the damage resulting will be heavy.
Stock is being transferred to higher
grounds wherever possible, and in
many instances the water has come
up and flooded residences.
The Missouri is reported to be fall
ing at this time (Tuesday) and it is
confidently expected that the Charlton
and Musselfork will recede shortly.
Strange things in connection with
the deluge was the territory covered
No rain is reported at Lexington,
Miami, Glasgow and Marshall. At
Carrollton not much precipitation was
recorded.

When Judge Fred Lamb was in
Marceline last week, an injunction
case was brought before him, result
ing in the granting Of temporary
injunction preventing the school board
from paying for some heating appara-

school buildings. A contract was
made with a company from Spring

let without competitive bids, thus Civ
ing no other heating company an op-
portunity to bid on the work.

RUCKER, A SERVANT
OF THE PEOPLE
In an Address Delivered in Ripley
Square, Tells Why He Should
| Be Re- Elected

Hon. w. w. Rucker visited Marce-
line, Monday and Tuesday. He left
his car at keytesville, in charge of his
secretary, Mr.. Barker, on account of
heavy rams, and came by rail.
Judge Rucker is looking well. He
bears up wonderfully well under the
stress of his activities, for the Judge
rs hard worker-a man who feels
keenly the responsibilities OF his po-
sition, and never shirks duty.
Although native of Virginia,
Judge kucker has lived so long In
Missouri that he is at heart native
son. He belongs to type, tast disap-
pearing to tine infinite loss OF the
state and natlon-a type OF the pol
isneu, old school gentlemen, whose
word is their bond, and VINO would
rather suffer than offend.
Judge kucker spoke in Ripley
Square, Monday night, to a large
crowd. Inc band, urected by stray
iiaIl, gave a snort preliminary con-
cent, including such stirring airs as
''Dlxe," and "1he star opangled
BANNER" and hon. I. VI. hendricx

iy euioglstlc of Judge kucker.
Judge Rucker talks simply and to
the point. He makes no enort at or
atorlcal display ,and is never happier
tnan when just visiting" with his
audience. In the crowd that heard
nlm Monday nIgnt, were Old scnOol-
mates, boyhood friends and boon
companions of the Judge in days
gone by. No wonder that he grew
reminiscent, and that at times he for
got about the important issues con-
lrontIng all candidates before the
primary, and Iaunened into discus
sions OF old times in Missouri.
Judge Rucker made brief allusiOn
Ito the so-called platforms of his op-
ponents- that while mer-
GLORIOUS lacked interest because
everything they advocated had become
laws-by mis- vote.
Frequent allusIon has been made
! to the faHm bloc. He explained that
it was not an organizatlony had nt

an association of men in Congress:
VINO stood together in advocating tbs
Interests of the farmer. He onereC

Judge Rucker said that fault has
been found with him because he haG
held office so long. He was proud o

HIGH WATER-BOONvILLE
BRIDGE PIER OUT THE 18th

The first pier for the new bridge at
Boonville was destroyed last Thurs
day morning at IL o'clock. The frame
work was turRed over and carried to
the bank Of the river.
The Missouri river has been rising
rapidly recently. 1t is said to have
risen five feet within the "a hours pre-
ceeding the wash out. The damage
to the pier was caus6d by high water
The pier was down II feet into the
sand when it was destroyed.

WATERwORKs PROPOSITION
DEFEATED--192 TO 144

The proposition to bond the City
OF Keytesyille in the sum of $4,000
for water works was defeated at the
Tuesday election. From a standpoint
OF majority election those in favor of
moderning the town and going ahead
and doing and accomplishing things
the question was carried by a splendid
majority-192 to 144 against. But,
owing to the fact that a two thirds
vote was required by law the opposi-
ton won.
The day was a good day for the
election being clear, not too hot nor
uncomfortably cool, and those most
for or against, managed to
get out fair vote.
Those who stand for advancement,
for progress and betterment are feel
ing fine, and know that the better ele-
ment wanted water in their homes and
in their business streets, both for use
is case Of fire as we'll as for domestic
purposes.
There is not to be found today a
man or woman who was for water
who will admit defeat. 1t is just
postponed for short time, that's all.
The men and women who were
counted out are smiling, for
they know they won an overwhelming
majority, and there is some satisfac-
ton in that, even if counted out on the
two-thirds number necessary to win.

, ON TAKING ORDERS

"Did you elect me to go to Wash
ington and take orders from man
from New Jersey" asks Senator Reed
in one of his speeches, or words to
that effect. Well, for one who voted
for you, Jimmy, we viii say we voted
for you to go there and work WITH
your president instead of against him.
As you saw fit to work AGAINST
him every time an opportunity pre-
sented itself, we are going to vote
against you this year, and do every
thing reasonable to get all others to
do the same. Dexter Statesman.

A LETTER FROM WASHINGTON

Centralia, Wash, July Z, 1922
Editor the Charlton Courier, Keytes-
vile, Mo. Dear Mr.. Willard. Thought
perhaps you would be interested in
hearing of my journey since Icame
west. We left Kansas City the
evening of June 18th and arrived IN
Portland, Ore, the morning Of the
18th. We had to make no changes
until we reached Portland where, afIes
short wait took a train for here,
which is about three-hour ride from
Portland.
The weather was warm for the frat
"a hours of the journey, but there
was so much to- see that took ones
mind off their discomforts. The
scenery is varied. Saw more plains,
mountains and water than almost
thought existed. Came along the
mighty Columbia river for many miles
and could see the famous Columbia
Highway. When we arrived the
Columbia was at food stage and, in
deed, could be called mighty.
They tell US that we have chosen
the best time of the year for our
visit. Know that it certainly is a
beautiful country.
Nearly everyone has all kinds of
ten choicest roses growing in their
lawns which are also wonderfully
green. All kinds Of flowers and BEL
ries do very wen here.
This country is very well improved.
All the towns OF any size have good
water systems and paved streets. The
highways are paved for hundreds of
miles and the people surely make use
of them. Is the greatest place for
people to camp. Most people who
have a car pack up and go some place
for every week end. There is such a
variety Of places to go here, to the
mountains, ocean beach or Puget
Sound beaches. Have seen three of
the great mountain peaks, Mount
Hood. Mt. st. Helens and Mt. Rain
ier. Have not been to the ocean yet,
but am planning on going there in
about two weeks.
came west to visit my brother,
M. L. Davis, who formerly lived near
Keytesville, r. A. Kincaid, who owns
farm near town and who is foster
brother-in-law of my brother, accom-
panied me on the trip. My brothers
home is in Lebam, a small town about
40 miles from here. Have spent con-
siderable time there, but as his wife
died this spring have been visiting
around with my nephews. This is
where l am in Centralia.
| Am planning on starting homeward
about the middle of August, but don't
expect to reach home before the last
of October as will visit in Colorado
and perhaps Oklahoma before going
to Keytesville. Have seen many won-
derful things and have enjoyed my
visit very much, but my thoughts Of
ten stray back to my home and every
one there. Wish to be remembered
to all of them, and thought the best
way to do it was to write to you
With best regards to all, / am, most
sincerely, Mrs. Hattie Holman.
