The association has earned for it's

KILLED SELF wITH SHOTGUN

Albert Evans, aged about so years
committed suicide at his home near
Longs Mill, some fifteen miles south
east of Marceline, at six o'clock
Wednesday morning.
He went to his house, took the
shot gun and tied a string to the
trigger, then attached the string to
the house in such a way that slight
pull would spring the trigger. Then
he placed the muzzle of the weapon
over his heart and pulled the string.
He was dead when found.
G. N. Eilert of the Mclaughlin es-
tablishment was sent for and prepar-
ed the body for burial. He was not
informed as to the probable cause
for the act of self destruction.
Funeral services were held Thurs
day, at the home, and the interment
was in the Locke cemetery.
The deceased had several grown
and married children and Edgar H.
Evans of Topeka, Kansas, was a
nephew.

Next Monday night at 7;S0 in the

Members of this post are especially
requested to be present, and all the

who wish to affiliate themselves with
the Keytesville post should be pres

join this post should have with them
their discharge papers.
The reporter in conversation with

called for the local post. In fact,

their homes the same as they pay
rent.
There are so many good points in
connection with the plan that one
would hardly know. just where to
begin in extolling its salient feat
ures.
Perhaps one of the best things in
this is that if we should happen, as
community, to take it into our
heads to build couple of real busi-
ness blocks this company will see to
it that the funds are forthcoming.
In the past this has been one of
our principal stumbling blocks
that of finance in making improve
ments and if enough members can
be procured in this company this will
be almost Immediately overcome.
Mr.. Phelps will be here possibly
all day Friday and those who are in
terested should get on the band wa
gon and show a little real live pep.

is MISSOURI TO BE
JEANETTE RANKINIZED?

The western man, the man from
Montana does not have to be inform
ed of jeanette Rankin. She was the
woman who was sent to congress
from that state, and when she got
on the job she proved not to be the
woman of the hour-in plain Ian
guage she was not big enough for
the job-she didn't know which way
20 jump.
Jeanette had the chance to prove
her self one of the most famous wo-
men from the west. The least that
can be said for her is that she is the
most famous woman of the west in
that she utterly failed as a con-
gresswoman. The job was too big.
Editorially speaking some two
weeks ago the Courier stated deliver
Missouri from the two Arthurs---
Arthur Charlie Townley and Arthur
Hyde. The Courier also stated that
the Nonpartisan league was rotten
Neal Mcdonald up and from Jeanette
Rankin down. This was because the
daily press had stated that at GER
tain meeting Charlie Townley was re-
ported to have held the "whiphand"
or something.
Now comes along jeanette Rankin
invading the good old state of Mis-
souri,. with full line of cut and
dried propaganda of Townleyism-
ready at any time to spread the sop.
The Courier presents this innocent
little news item from the Sunday pa
per of st. Louis:
Miss Jeanette Rankin of Montana,
who was the first woman elected to
the United States Congress, will be
the speaker next Saturday noon at
joint luncheon of the Consumers
League of Missouri and the City Club
in the dining rooms of the latter.
The luncheon will be open to all in
terested. Reservations may be, etc."
And here follow the names of a lot
of more or less influential women,
who really ought to know better.
If there is any one thing that the
state of Missouri wants to fight shy
of it is jeanette Rankin and the Nom
partisan league propaganda of which
she became the postmaster of spread
ing after she returned to private life,
a discredited politicianess.
But don't take the Courier mans
word for all this. Take the time to
look up the wrecked state of North
Dakota, and then if you are disgust
ed with the doings of the party in
that state, look up Jeanette's record
as Congresswoman, and hen see if
she is the woman to tell the women
of Missouri about Nonpartisan league
programs.
Take it from the Courier, the ''pro-
gram in North Dakota was some pro-
gram" Also, Jeanette was some
CongresswOman to reIegate to pri-
vate life.

JOHN ALSPAUGH SALE
MADE A GOOD AVERAGE

!. John Alspaugh called Tuesday to
talk about his sale. John is a good
sport and he knows when he is beat
1en, and he is not making a claim ai
all that he was beaten in this sale
No., nothing like that at all. But
people don't go anywhere these days
Except to California; unless they
can go in their cars. The day that
Mr.. Alspaugh held his sale the roads
were in such condition that a car
could not get anywhere. In fact
when he took the auctioneer to the
depot in his car he got stuck in the
mud, so it's cinch that people had
no chance to attend his sale who
lived any considerable distance from
Keytesville. But Mr.. Alspaugh is
well satisfied with the final outcome
and knows that the reason why he did
not have a larger crowd was because
of the condition of the roads.

Attention, Ex ervice Men
Meeting Called Monday Night

that particular night there was no
light and the affair had to be called
off. A previous meeting called by
Mr.. Hill was also failure owing to
.untoward weather conditions.
1t is hoped that a good turn out
will be on hand as there are buncii
of live wires who want the post to
become live factor in the social life
of Keytesville. Then, too, the boys
want an organization near home, and
it is understood that there are also
a number of ex-service men in the
country who have never affiliated
themselves with a legion post any
where and usually because the posts
in existence in the county are too far
from their homes.

isn't it worth while, for the sake of
these, to give them natural environ
ments that are pleasing and attrac-
tive? Isn't it up to you, Mr.. Far
mer, to get busy at once and plan
how you may improve your home sur
roundings this spring? Suppose you
lay aside the daily paper some even
ing, and have a social talk with the
lady that ever looks after your well
fare, every morning, noon and night,
and ask her opinion about fixing up
the yard, and the planting of shade
trees and fruit trees and the better
ment of the kitchen garden. She
may become somewhat excited in
your action, but do not become alarm
ed, she will not faint; you keep your
mind cool and collected and every
thing will come out all right. Let
her know that you intend putting a
substantial neat fence around the
yard and garden, and that you have
ordered sufficient lawn grass seed
to sow the front yard at least.
Right here, let me advise, by say
ing, order plenty of lawn seed, if
sown too sparingly the weeds will
take it.
But the first requisite to beauti-
full country homestead is good yard
and garden fence, so chickens and
shoats cannot enter at sweet will to
scratch and root up disturbance.
In our next weeks article we shall
endeavor to speak further upon the
matter of making a good lawn, and
arrangement of trees and scrubs, also
on the matter of driveways and walks.

IL is not that the average farmer
is sloyenly, careless, or Indifferent to
the needs of his homestead; that in

and uninwting; but he let's too many
other things take up his time and
attention. This should not be for a
