Lost Your Youth?

Persons of middle age who
have convinced themselves that
life has yielded up it's full share
to them and there is nothing left
for them but to die, will do well
to see Conrad in Quest of His
Youth" the new William De-
Mile Paramount production
starring Thomas Meighan, which
will be shown at the Laclede
theatre Saturday night.
In this picture, Mr.. Meighan
plays the title role of Conrad
Warrener, and shows how youth
may be regained. The picture
deals with his quest. He first
seeks happiness in re-living the
romances of his childhood, but
each attempt in this direction
only plunges him more hopeless
ly into old age.
He finally falls in love with
beautiful girl whom he thinks is
a stranded actress, who to his
surprise proves to be the Count
ess of Darlington, who, before
her marriage was popular Lon.
don show girl. He then discov-
ers that to be young one must
he in love

Come And See

Oh, say, have you heard what
some of our Missionary Ladies
of Laclede are giving this week! q!
Well you may never know the
half of it, if you are not on the
lawn at the Baptist church this
Friday night, July %, for there
will be several interesting things
take place. A nice program out
of doors, mind you, providing
the weather will permit, if not,it
will be given inside the building.
They expect to have the lawn
lighted and seated, will have mu-
sic, singing, recitations, and a
dialogue by the little grandmas.
There will be singing by Mrs.
Clifford Shell, which we always
enjoy as well as other special
songs, and that isn't all yet, a
wedding of the "wee-folks,
which will take place at the close
of the pr rogram. After the we'd
ding they will have something
good to eat. Ice cream, sherbet
and cake will be served on the
lawn. So plan to come or you
may always be sorry that you
didn't.

YOUNG MAN ASSAULTED
John Stone Beaten by Men Claim
ing to be Strikers

According to story told here
Tuesday morning by John Stone
he was kidnapped in Brookfielo
Monday evening, taken to place
two miles southeast of Lacledei
beaten and left almost helpless
by the roadside.
Stone has lived here several
years, making his home with his
uncle, G. W. Syms, and working
for neighboring farmers. Two
weeks ago he enlisted to guard
railroad property at Brookfield
After serving in that capacity
a few days he was made car tap
per at which he worked until
last Monday.
That evening he was on the
sidewalk southeast of the depot
when a jitney drove up, four
men bounced out, grabbed him
and forced him into the car.
According to his story the men
told him they were striking rail-
road men and they proposed to
fix him so he would never be able
to work again. The car he was
in was joined by four other cars
filled with men, twenty-five or
thirty, he says. They took him
out the south road and when
about half way to Laclede beat
and abused him shamefully, and
to prove his story showed more
than a dozen cuts and bruises on
his face and body. He says
there can be no doubt about it
,being the work of strikers.
1t is learned here that a man
by the name of Hodges has been
arrested at Brookfield in connec-
tion with the assault and he does
not deny leading the mob.
Stone is barely 21 years of age,
slender, and a mere boy in ap-
pearance and bears a good name.

A. A. A. Protests
Against Proposed
Crude Oil 7 arin

Believing that the proposed tariff Of
35 cents barrel on crude oil, 25 cents
barrel on fuel oil, and the proposed
81 to 50 tariff on asphalt, If success
full, would materially and adversely
affect the individual automob bile owners
OF the country and add to their already
heavy upkeep, maintenance and taxa
tion burdens. the American Automobile
Association has entered vigorous pro-
test against these proposals.
Speaking in behalf of the owners Of
more than ten million motor vehicles,
the A. A. A. representative appeared
before the United States Senate Con-
mttee on Finance and made it plain
that the A. a. A. would fight any pro
posal designed to take any more revc-
nuc from the motor car. While the
A. A. A. representatives went before
the committee prepared TO com bat only
35 cents barrel tax on crude oil,
they learned that certain interests
were even planning oil tariff 10 the
extent Of 81 barrel.
In presenting argument against u
tariff on OIL it was pointed out by the
A. A. A. men that more than 10000, 900
automobiles are owned in the United
States, or more than 93 per cent Of all
the automobiles in the world, in con-
trast with which less than 16 per cent
Of the worlds oil supply is located in
the United States. Further Informal

the week and the debut of the car to
she Western automobile world was pro
nounced huge success.
The feature that has appealed to
nl.,' says Mr.. Hunt, "is the complete
absence of vibration when the machine
is in operation. This has caused com
ment by not only the uninitiated. but
also by the experts. Working the motor
up from two miles per hour, and add
Ing speed BY either fast or slow de-

never once has there been the slightest

The Interstate Motor Theft Commits

was formed in 1921 to carry on a
nationwide investigation of CONNER
cialixcd motor car theft and fraud and
to formulate plans for the destruction
OF the market for stolen cars.
national clearance test has been
worked out by tho commission which,
it is said, will result in the detection
and recovery Of great majority of the
unrecovered cars stolen in the past
that are still in operation. The teut
also will prevent to large extent the
future sale, use or registration of
stolen cars in any state regardless Of
changes in mum bcrs and appearance.
The plans Of the commission are
considered the most constructive and

since the advent Of the automobile, to

Loss in Motor Thefts

Motor car theft losses in the
United States every tventy-four
hours are placed at more than
$300,000--a startling average Of
$100,000,000 yearly-and sum
equal, if not greater, than the ag-
gregate loss by theft of all other
kinds Of property.
This evil, which retards the
progressive advance Of almost
every phase and branch of the
motor car industry, imposes a
burdensome liability upon car
owners and a great deal OF work
and expense upon police and state
departments, is to-day one Of the
most profitable forms Of law
lessress.
