HOME OF EDITOR AND
MRS. WILLARD SHOT UP

Last Saturday night at 2:30 the
editor Of the Courier arose to see
what time it was, being awakened by
a couple of shots from the business
district. Not hearing further dis
turbance he returned to bed and in
about thirty minutes another shot
rang out and then all was still.
Owing to the fact that the house
was in absolute darkness the marks
man had only a general direction Of
his house in mind-that, however, was
enough. One Of the bullets entered
the back part of the house at a pro-
jecting ell and passed clear through
both walls, embedding itself again in
the third wall.
Had the shot happened earlier in
the evening and had the shot been
directed few feet further west it
would have had only one wall to have
penetrated and would have been di-
rectly in line with the reading table
and lamp where both Mr.. and Mrs.
Willard spend many hours reading.
However, no damage was done of "a
personal nature and now. the editor
and his whole family and office force
are attempting to find out just who
is guilty of the attempted murder and
why. Later developments may be
looked for.

DEMOCRATS. IN CLEAN
SWEEP IN KANSAS CITY

The election in Kansas City Tues
day was clean sweep for the Demo-
Gratis in spite of the Hyde speeches,
work and propaganda.
The democratic lead has been stated
to be over $4,000, and the victory is
clean, leads no excuses for the opposi-
tion. Of course alibies will be in or
der, but those who have grown tired
of bossism, etc., will understand Just
why the democrats are returned win
ners.
Wonder if Hyde, Miller Foster ct al
will now come too and admit any
thing. The better people of Kansas
City are to be congratulated upon the
occasion of their coming again into
their own.
And what shake up there will be

EPHRIAM B. GRUBBS
DROPPED DEAD

Last Sunday afternoon about on,
o'clock Ephrianp Grubbs and a neigh
dor were out in front of his homs
where truck was stuck in the nnuc
when Mr.. Grubbs fell dead. He hat
been a vistim of heart trouble for g
number of years.
He was born in Charlton County
Septem 22, 1856, and was a son Of
Richard and Elizabeth Grubbs. Eph
as he was known, had lived on his
farm 11a miles south Of Chraneville
the last 81 years, living with his bro
Tther Richard.

Richard and Elijah, who lives three
miles south of Mike, one brother
John in California, three sisters. Mrs.
Mrs. Hester Mcclure of Pennsylvania
Mrs. Lizzie Coleman Of near Mike and
Mrs. Sue Belcher, of Bucklin, NO., and
one half sister, Mrs. Cal Fry of Men
don. In addition to number of

mourn his passing.
Z Deceased was member of we'll
known family and was leading citi-
zen in the north part of the county.
He was never married and had never
united with any church but he al
ways lived good moral life. AS
a neighbor and friend no one ever
knew more loyal and true character
and he was always willing to help
in any way he could to promote the
welfare of those about him. His sud-
den death was a severe shock to his
friends and he will not be easily for
gotten by those who knew him.
Funeral services were conducted by
the Rev. D w. Storkard and burial
made at Bennett cemetery Tuesday.
The Beautiful floral offeri.g and the
large crowd attending the services in
dicated the high esteem in. which he
was held.

Mr.. HIRTH ATTACKS
BUREAUS WORK

Columbia, March 25.-The contro-
versy between the Missouri Farm
Bureau club movement throughout the
state came to head here. today in q
debate between Chester Fl. GRAY oi
Nevada state president of the farm
bureau and William Hirth of Colum-
bia, president of the Missouri Farm
ers' association
Mr.. Hirth attacked the farm bu-
reau chiefly from two angles-its al
legged use of state and federal officials
and its alleged failure in the field of
marketing, as companed with the
achievements of the Farm club.
Paid by Taxpayers
The farm bureau, he said, is enter
ing the marketing field under the
leadership and direction of college
professors, extension lecturers and
county agents who are paid by the
tsxpayers-farmers and business in
terests alike, while the Farmers as
sociation is headed by "real dirt far
mers."
II the farm bureau continues its
present tactics, Mr.. Hirth declared,
we will go into the next state Iegis-
lature and when we come out, some
of these gentlemen will find them
selves minus their jobs"
Ignores Challenge
Mr.. Gray ignored the Hirth chal-
lenge, regarding the contemplated
action of the farmers association in
the legislature.
agriculture must be made more
profitable, and that is the farm
bureaus job" Mr.. Gray declared. In
vestigation among the bureaus mkm-
oers, he said, has shown four big
problems = transportation, taxation,
egislation and marketing = the solv-
ng Of which will make farming more
profitable.
Mr.. Gray contended that any hone
II consolidating farmer organizations
nto one body was hopeless. Mr..
dlrth contended for single organiza-
ion.

C. Q. HOUSTON FOR
REPRESENTATIVE

Many friends from all sections of
the county have written Mr.. Houston
urging him to again make the race for
representative, assuring him of their
earnest support. Yielding to these
solicitations Mr.. Houston is announe1
ing this week. He has served the
county in two legislatures and has
given eminent satisfaction. In the
last Legislature his efforts in behalf of
the county were greatly hampered be-
cause Of the overwhelming Republic
can majority.
Mr.. Houston's record as representa-
tive reflects credit and honor upon
himself and the county, and the Dem
ocrats win make no mistake in sup
porting him. - Salisbury Press-Spec-

THE SATURDAY SALES

The Keytesyille merchants have
been putting on Saturday sales for the
last month and out of five of these
Saturdays the weather man has bad

not little harmless drizzle, but real
rain, the kind that puts roads out Of
commission and gives the merchants
the blues. M II
In last weeks paper we advertised
for a new weatherman, and, 10, and
behold, Saturday broke clear, warm
and sunshiny, and the town had a
splendid crowd. Business was good.

located in Keytesvilfe, and, he is no
tenderfoot, either.

CHARLEY BLANToN TELLS IT

The editor wishes the public to
know. that it does not depend on
charity, whether or not the Stand
ard sinks or swims. Neither do we
wish an employe or friends to solicit
business for us as charity proposi-
ton or for this office in order to keep
the office from assigning. The Stand
ard is as sound as a gold dollar,
though in keeping with all business
concerns, is growing rich mighty
slow. The family and employees wiz
try and put on just as good a front
as possible, and if we are short of ra-
tons at home we'll keep that to our
self. 1t would be humiliating to re-
ceive business as charity PROPOSE

JNO. D. TAYLOR ON
WINNING SIDE

One of the most important law suits
that has been tried in the county in
many years, considering the amount
involved was tried in Salisbury last
week. The case came from Raw
county Circuit Court on change Of
venue. This was the case of Martin
& Hubbel, plaintiffs against the Raw
County Coal Co., defendants. The
plaintiffs, a Kansas City firm OF coal
dealers sued the coal company for
damages for breach of contract ask
ing for $1Ss,S50.0o and interest
amounting in the aggregate to s142,-
725.00. Defendants denied liability
under the alleged contract and asked
for judgment against the plaintiffs
for coal sold to them. After hearing
the evidence for nearly three days Il
jury returned verdict for the de-
fendants- on its counter claim for
sS.65S.95. The plaintiffs were repre-
sented by Ed. E. Yates Of Kansas
City and Perry S. Raider of Jefferson
City. The attorneys who sueeessful--
" represented the defendants were

MUSICAL DEPARTMENT OF
X. H. S. DOES ITSELF PROUD

The Courier did the best it could in
the interest of the musical depart
ment of the Keytesville school to the
end that the American Theatre
would have nothing but standing
room to offer late corners for the
recital that the musical department
Of the school presented last Friday
evening.
Be it known to the shame of all
who have any, interest in the school,
in the advance made by the pupils
as well as the progress made by
the children Of some of the parents
of the performers, the theatre was
filled only to about two thirds of
its capacity.
: To one who ponders over this bit
IL IS plain that sthassnly interest that
a great majority Of the parents who
have children in the .Keytesyille
school have in interest only in the
figures marked on the report cards.
Evidently if their children just pass
it is all o. k. These parents have
no interest whether the child is an
honor to the class or is only a trail
er, whether the child has unusual
ability or is going to be Just a
trudger all through life.

We are proud of the work being put

young hopefuls, and if there is one
thing the Courier can do to help
this greatest of all Keytesville
institutions won't someone with a.
clean cut vision of the future come
across with a real man size idea.
The program went across without
break, and the rendition thereof
shows remarkable advance in the
work Of the pupils. As usual, the
Courier is not going to pass encom-
iums to individual performers. To
be sure some did excel, but the edi-
tor knows all too well how jealous
are the young folks for praises and
how some hardworker who fails to
peat his fellow class mate feels when
he is not mentioned. Sometimes it
happens that the hardest worker who |
ioesn't happen to lead his class in
my one activity is more entitled to
more praise than the one who is bril-
liant leader.
However, we want all readers and
