COURT HOLDS
AGAINST ARSON VIRDICT

The Supreme Court, Division No. 2,
in an opinion handed down Saturday,
reversed the Randolph Circuit Court,
which convicted L. B. Shields or arson
In the second degree and fixed his
punishment at one year in the County
Jail. The Supreme Court held that
the trial court erred in giving certain
instructions TO the jury and in refus-
ing to include certain other instruc-
tions. The case was remained.
The evidence tended to show, the
opinion recited, that the defendant,
who was in the real estate business at
Moberly, owned store building, with
the stock and fixtures, at Clark, in the
southeast part of the county. He car
ried $4,000 insurance on this proper
ty. March %, 1920 the, store and
stock were burned and the state al
legged the defendant caused the fire
for the purpose of defrauding the in
surance company.
The saate's case was made out
chiefly on the testimony of George
M. Hines, about Is years old, of Mo
berly, who testified that the defendant
had engaged him to go to Clark and
set fire to the store, for which it is
alleged he was to receive $50. Hines,
it was said carried out the alleged in-
structions and the defendant collected
$11 500 insurance. The defendant
denied any arrangement with Hines
and offered evidence to show that the
store and goods were worth more
than the amount of the insurance.

TAKES OWN LIFE

Ira Ellis young farmer living
two miles southwest of Carrollton
committed suicide early Tuesday
InoraiIi 81 rr.t leave any state
ments in regard to the drastic Or
deal. According to information
obtained from his wife he had no
worries or reason for dependency.
He retired at an early hour Monday
evening seemingly in good spirits.
He arose from his bed at 5 o'clock
Tuesday morning, after a restless
night, made the fire and disappeared.
His wife upon awakening discovered
his clothing also his under garments,
and searched about the house in an
effort to locate him which was futile,
unable to lacate him in the house, she
went to the home of a neighbor on
the south, who returned with her.
After searching for some time, about
6 O'Clock the body was found IN a
nude state, suspended at the end of
a rope with slip knot, which caused
strangulation.

CHARITY THAT SERVES CREME

Gov. HYDE, on the recommendation
of Circuit Attorney Sidener, reduced
the bond furnished by a professional
bondsman from $4,000 to $1,000 after
the prisoner, charged with two Of
fenses-theft and receiving stolen
property--had jumped the bond. The
bond in the first place should have
been lower, says the Circuit Attorney,
and in second place the bondsman was
a cripple and in poor health.
Fine charity, we would say, and
:atrocious public policy. If the bond
was too high to fit the offense it was
too low to hold the criminal. If sickly
,cripples cannot afford to part with
their money there is nothing that re-
auires them to take risk Of accom-
modating irresponsible characters
who turn out to be thieves and crooks.
It would not be unfamiliar reading
If some day we should learn from the
news columns that policeman had
been shot by q robber who, on being
captured or shot himself, turned out
to be an old offender who once Jump
ed bond which, after his escape, had
been reduced BY order Of the Cover
nor from 5000 to $1,000 out of charity
to professional bondsman. St.

WILL BRIDGE THE
MISSOURI AT LEXINGTON

H. G. Gelzer, who returned Friday
from a visit to Lexington, No., found
the people elated over the prospects
of the free wagon bridge which is
soon to span the Missouri river there.
Bids for its construction were being
opened at both Lexington and Rich
mond. The bridge will cost $3.50 900,
and half of this amount will be paid
by the United States government.
The other half is raised by taxation in
the district directly affected. The
bridge will, however, prove of much
benefit to this section of the state. It
will open up better automobile route
to Kansas City via Carrollton. At
ter the river is crossed there will be
a continuous rock road to the city.
The biggest part Of which is already
completed.
This will have an important bear
ing on road work between Mareeline
and Carrollton.-Marceline Journal

WRECK AND RUIN FOR
ANY WET PARTY

It might as well be understood
now. that the drys of this country
will absolutely wreck any political par
ty which declares for beer and wine
and will humiitate any candidate of
that party by an overwhelming vote
for the opposition.
If the Republican Party were to
adopt such a plank, it would do well
to carry Pennsylvania, New York
and Vermont, with perhaps a little
part Of Rhode Island, New Jersey
and Connecticut.
If the Democrat Party adopted
such plank, we seriously doubt
whether it would hold the South.
The objection Of the American peo-
pie to- the beer and wine program is
that it is not honest, that it would
bring back the saloon and the brew
cry, that it would multiply ten times
over the illicit trade in whisky, that
it would flood the country with alco-
holic beverages and that it would i'm
pose burden of. not less than five
billion dollars annually on the Ameri-
can people.

WINTER STORAGE OF POTATOES

Potatoes can be, successfully stored
on the farm or III the home, for use
or for sale, throughout the entire win
ter. Storage this year seems particu-
larly desirable.
Potatoes require cool moist at
mosphere with good ventilation, says
E.. M. Page of the missouri College of
Agriculture. The ideal tempature is
from 30 to 40 degrees. If no ventila-
ton is allowed internal discoloration
of the tubers, known as "blackheart, y
may result. Too dry an atmosphere,
on the other hand, may result in
shriveling before spring.
If a basement is to be used, In
which there is a furnace, q storage or
cold room should be partitioned off
from the rest of the basement. This
room win be useful in storing not
only potatoes but other vegetables,
fruits and canned goods. If only a
small quantity Of potatoes are to be
kept in a warm basement they may be
placed in boxes or on the concrete
floor and covered with fairly moist
sand.
In cool easements or cellars they
may be stored in barrels, boxes or
sacks, or may be placed in bins. Po-
tatoes should not be piled more than
five feet deep in bins. Storage cellars
should be kept dark to prevent the
tubers from turning green.

SAFE AT CARROLLTON
CRACKED FRIDAY NIGHT

Persons as yet unknown got into a
safe Of the Farmers COOPERATIVE
Store at Carrollton Friday night and
got away with $75 in cash and checks
amounting to $1,000. The checks,
however, had not been signed.
Dynamite caps were used in blow
ing the safe and one of the caps was
found. The safe was practically de-
stroyed by the explosion. The rob-
berry is thought to have occurred some
time after midnight. This is the sec
ond time this year this store has been
robbed, the first time being in May.
Last nights loss is covered by insur-
ance.
The Strumpfer bloodhounds were
taken to CarroIlton Saturday after
noon to put on the trail of the robbers.
The store has been closed all day to
keep the scent fresh for the dogs.
Special officers were on duty trying
to find some clue to the discovery of
the men engaged in this deal.-Mo-

The Peoples Cooperative Associa-
ton. which has been conducting q
general store for the past two years
and more closed its doors at the close
of business Saturday night. Poor col
lections, lack of cooperation and gen.
.eral decline of orders were the cause
of the failure.
However, the affairs of the institu-
tion are in a very satisfactory con-
dition, according to the president of the
association L. E. Shelton. A tenta-
tive statement of the assets and liza
bilities show up as follows:
Liabilities, Accounts payable, SS,-
100; notes due at bank, $4,S50.
Assets, Grocery stock, 81 300; ac-
counts receivable, $500; fixtures,
50 900, at conservative estimate; un-
paid subscriptions 81 300.
This totals liabilities of $7,450, with
assets of $500. The creditors who
have all been notified, are asked to
consent to the appointment of a
trustee, who shall hold an auction OF
the stock. Steps will be taken at once
to collect $500 of unpaid subscrip-
tions, which are legally collectible,

MARCELINE PLANE

The beginning of the end has come.
Mr.. Harlan, representing the Excel
sior Springs Light and Power COM
pany appeared before the city coun-
Gil Monday night with a proposal to
furnish the city with light and power
at a price less than the coal they
are now burning is costing them.
A proposition to buy the munich
pal plant was not then made but this
will come at the proper time. Mr..
Harlan said his company was in no
hulry-that the council could take all
the time they wished, weeks or
months for their decision.
No action was taken, but from ex-
,pressions of some of the aldermen,
there is sentiment favoring the ac-
ceptance Of the power company's pro-
posals at some future time.
This is the company that has
bought the Brooldield plant, the
Edna plant, and a number Of others
in this section of the state. Marce-

EXCHANGE WAR
SAVING STAMPS

at is hoped that every person who
can do so will exchange War Saving
Stamps, soon to fall due, for Treasury
saving certificates" said Postmaster
G. II. Apologize. s'The large amount
of money invested and the great num-
Der Of persons who purchased war
saving stamps showed tiat the pec=
pie of this country could save money
when the. necessity arose. Now, if
they will take the money they saved
when they bought stamps to aid the
the government in the prosecution
of the war and buy Treasury saving
certificates, they will demonstrate that
the thrift lessons of the war have not
been without effect. The holders
of war saving stamps have seen in
vestments of about $20.50 grow to
$25 in five years, and the larger
amounts in the same proportion. They
can see the same thing repeated if
they reinvest in Treasury saving GER
tifcates. Interest accumulates at
the rate A per cent each year, COM
pounded semi-annually. These saw
ings certificates are exempt from the
normal Federal income tax, and from
all state and local taxation Except
estate and inheritance taxes), and
may be held to the amount of $4,000,
maturity value, for each issue, by
every member of a family. They are
backed by the credit of the United
States Government, and afford an
easy and sure method of saving"
During the war the government Of
fered war saving stamps, paying
about per cent as method of saw
for people of small means. Since the
war, and to take place of war saving
stamps, the government offered Trea-
sury saving certificates in denomina-
tions of $25, 500 and $1,000, now
sold to investors at $20.50, $S2 and
$500, respectively. They pay 4 per
cent if held until maturity, five years
from the date of issue. About $685.
100000 of War Saving Stamps, series
of 1918, become due January 1st,
1928, and the Government now offers
to issue Treasury savings certificates
in exchange for them, affording the
owners an opportunity to continue
safe investment with good interest.
Saving has furnished the life blood
for many nations and insures pros
perity to the people. The Govern
ment is doing everything possible to
encourage saving in the United States
by offering sound and attractive Sc
curities for the investment of small
sums. If you want to save, and in
sure your future, it would pay you
to investigate Uncle Sans Savings
System.
