Washington, March 20.-All Ameri-

tary Weeks today by direction OF
President Harding.

MISS KILLBUCK TALKS
TO GIRL RESERVES

Miss Julia Killbuck, secretary of
the Springfield Y. w. C. A. made a
talk to the high school girls Tuesday
afternoon. The Girl Reserve Club
was organized about two months ago
to meet the need for club for girls
of high school age. The first two
meetings were devoted to organizing.
For the next meeting, Miss Wardan,
of the Joplin Y. w. C. A. made talk
on the extent and Importance OF the
Girl Reserve movement. She also
met with the cabinet girls and ex-
planned to them the various phases of
the organization. Miss Killbuck's
talk, at the next meeting, dealt more
with the place of the Girl Reserve
ideals in the life of the individual girl.
She emphasized the idea that the girl
who is interested only in one thing
is one-sided; girl who lives up to the
ideals of the Girl Reserve code is
many-sided and has many interests.
The girls are planning a series of
meetings leading to the initiation
ceremony. Then the club will become
part of the national organization.

neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat, take things easier and use
a reliable kidney tonic. There's no
other kidney medicine so well recon-
mended as Doan's Kidney Pills. Mo-
nett people rely on them. Here's one
of the many statements from Monett
people.
Mrs. John Richards, 1908 Sixth
street gave the following statement
April 6, 1915: "My kidneys were
weak and in bad shape and caused me
a great deal of trouble by their ir-
regular action. suffered from an
sche in my back and felt as though I
had heavy weight on my back.
When / stopped severe pains caught
me and could hardly straighten
again. Rheumatic twinges through
my shoulders made me suffer terribly
/ heard about Doan's Kidney Pills
and got some at Cox & Co.'s Drug
Store. | used them and was soon in
good health again"
On January %, 1920, Mrs. Richards
said: Il haven't had any kidney

cured me some years ago."

COURT FIGHT ENDS
IN THREE ARRESTS
J. B. TilIman, Carthage Lawyer I'm
conscious In Hospital Following
Free-For-AlI at Mount Vernon.

Mount Vernon, Mo-, March 49, j.
B. Tillman, so years old, Carthage
attorney, is in an unconscious con-
dition in hospital here; one man is
in Jail charged with felonious assault
with intent to kill and two others are
at liberty under bonds of $1,000 each
under the same charge as a result
of free for all fight in circuit COURT
here this afternoon.
Tillman, who is a nephew of United
States Senator Benjamin Tillman or
South Carolina, received injuries a.
bout the head which necessitated an
operation in a local hospital tonight.
His condition is said to be serious.
The men facing assault charges are
Rabert Stemmons, Mt. Vernon at
torney, and Raymond and Lavanus
Jackson, brothers, of Plew, Mo.
The difficulty arose after Judge C..
L. Henson had denied an application
for parole filed on behalf of Lavanus,
who was sentenced at previous term
to serve five months in Jail on a
charge of manufacturing liquor.
Stemmons is Jackson's attorney.
In arguing for the parole, Stem
mons severely criticized Tillman and
John Bruner, farmer residing near
Plew for the part they took in the
prosecution of Jackson.
After Judge Henson had refused
to grant the parole Mr.. Tillman asked
for permission to explain his part In
the case. Judge Henson extended the
courtesy, Stemmons being agreeable.
After few preliminary remarks
Tillman said that "young lawyers
sometimes let their ambition get
away with them and say too much" ("
and that sit was a good thing for
young lawyers to be called down."
According to the story told by
Parker Potter, county prosecutor, it
was at this puncture that Stemmons.
who was seated across the room from
Mr.. Tillman, leaped from his seat,
ran across the court room and struck
Tillman. The two men went into a
clinch and fell struggling to the floor.
Levanus Jackson, Potter said, then
took a hand in the fight and began
kicking TilIman. Deputy Sheriff
Jack Barker and several men who
were in the court room when the
trouble started separated the men,
but Tilman did not arise He was
unconscious.
The injured man was rushed to a
local hospital and an examination dis
closed that he was suffering from
hemorrhage of the brain. A oper-
alton was performed at 10 o'clock to-
night to remove pressure and late to-
night he was reported in critical
condition.
In the meantime Prosecutor Pot
ter prepared charges against Stem
mons and the two Jacksons. They
were taken before a justice Of the
peace and Stemmons and Raymond
Jackson made bond. Lavanus Jack
son remains in Jail. Hearings were
set for next Friday.
Later:-Mr. Tillman died at 2
o'clock Monday morning.
