PIONEERS HAD
 STERN JUSTICE

Macon, Mo-(UP)-From a worn old volume, Digest of the Laws of Missouri Territory" Wal do Edwards, a citizen here interest cd in history, has revealed the stern justice meted out to criminals in pioneer Missouri.
 Whipping posts, the pillory and hanging "without benefit of clergy" played their part in the criminal code of the, early settlers.
 The volume was published in 1s4S by enrHy s. Geyer of St Louis.
 For murder the penalty was death and there was a clause which said "the benefit of clergy shall not be used or allowed upon conviction of any crime which by statute of the territory shall be de- clared to be death"
 The law provided that the death penalty was to be inflicted not more than 200 nor less than 30 days from the date of the sentence.
 Burglary, horse stealing, copn- terfeiting and bigamy were punish able at thew hipping post. A man convicted of burglary could be sen tenced to a stiff fine, depending upon the value of the stolen prop- erty, and "2o0 stripes were laid on the bare back of the defendant"
 For horse stealing the fine was not to exceed $500 and 200 stripes on the bare back.
 The penalty for hog stealing was not more than 30 lashes and not less than 25.
 The penalty for perjury was an hour on the pillory, & maximum fine of $500 and the loss of num- Der of free citizens privileges.

 OVER BUSINESS

Estes Park, Col. tUP)-From a business standpoint, Estes Park is rapidly becoming "no-man's land"
 A survey by the Chamber of Commerce showed that businesses formerly considered entirely in the mems realm rapidly were passing into control of the women.
 They not only own those shops generally conceded to be of the type for women - bake shops, beauty shops, book stores, etc but they have gone into insurance. real estate, merchandising, camp outfitting, and the hotel business. Check of the 30 mountain lodges and hotels in the region showed that six had come under the control of women.
 There are two sign painters in the town. One is a woman. .- There are two laundries operat- ing in Estes Park to serve a com munity of 800 in the winter and 5000 in the summer. and one Is owned and operated by a woman. Gift shops, boys and girls sum- mer camps, and other industries are feeling the woman's touch.

Oil Lamp Back Says Lahey In
 Sounding Warning
Marshal in Focusing Attention on Fire Prevention
 Week, Starting Tomorrow, Accounts New
 Menaces Brought About By Depression - Anti- Fire Tips Issued #

Fire Marshal D. J. Lahey has issued the following statement to mark Fire Prevention Week: tR (By The Fire MarshaD
 Fire Prevention week opens to- morrow, Sunday, and will continue until Saturday, Oct 15.
 This means that all over the country fire officials vested with the work of trying to prevent fire will be more or less active in a campaign of education, warning people of their community against the dangers of fire, and seeking their help and endeavors in an ef- fort to improve conditions about their premises, with a view to the removal of all inflammable and dangerous articles to a place of safety.
 Here in Waterbury, the investi- cations conducted show that a great quantity of fuel oil is being used, and that hundreds of families are using the so-called oil range for heating as well as cooking pur- poses. And in addition, too, we have found instances of the return of the old fashioned kerosene oil lamp to replace the former gas and electricity. This is not generally known, but 1t is nevertheless true, and reflects condition which may take us back more and more to the days of the Waterbury of many years ago. The oil lamp will na- turally increase the fire hazard, and people are advised to be ex- tremely careful with its usage.
 The office of the fire marshal has prepared few suggestions, not those of stereotyped form but based upon conditions found locally, which are herein produced in the hope that they will be followed to some extent by those anxious to keep their premises clean and free from excessive dangers of fire.
 Fire prevention week, see:
 That the smoke pipes of the stoves and furnace of your prop erty are clean and free of rust and soot.
 That the woodwork over the smoke pipe is protected by f1re- proof material.
 That the domestic oil burner has been thoroughly cleaned and made fit for winter service.
 That the oil range has been carefully cleaned, made bright and attractive, and we'll prepared for it's various uses.
 That the cellar of the premises occupied by you, either dwelling or store, is clean and free of rubbish of all kinds.
 That there are no old paint cans. oil cans or other such articles lying about the premises.
 That all paints and the like are properly stored in metal contain CTS.
 That the oil burner in your home or place of business has proper safety controls.
 j That the gas stove in your home has a flue pipe with 8 direct con- nection to the chimney; very inn portant; a life saver.
 That your floor mop used for oiling or waxing purposes is placed in a metal can, following it's use.
 That you use safety solvent rather than gasoline in the clean- ing of your clothes.
 That you never use matches for

INVITATION TO HEAR DR BARTLETT
Will Speak at St Johns Parish House Sunday
 at 5 O'Clock
ON MISSION OF JOY

The Federated Young Peoples societies will meet at St Johns Parish House Sunday afternoon at o'clock to hear Dr A. Eugene Bartlett, known as the Joy maker. Large delegations are expected from every Protestant church in Waterbury. The officers of the Federated group will meet for a few minutes after the close of the service to discuss plans for the winter months. Dr Bartlett who is to be the speaker is conducting a mission of joy at the Second Congregational church during the coming week. Since January 1928, pr Bartlett has been engaged in tins special mission, carrying the message of the joyful Christ and emphasizing the joyful side of Christianity, striving to bring back to the modern church something of the radiance that was in the early church.
 Dr Bartlett doesn't believe life is worth while if you lose your smile. The New York Herald coined 8 word to explain his radiant philos- ophy, "optimopathy." He comes to teach people to change their thoughts as we'll as, their clothes. He bids them clean their minds as we'll as their houses. He believes that the early Christians were men of radiant joy and we to-day, if we find the real Christ, will share in his joy. Those who come to St Johns Parish House on Sunday will find 1t a difficult task not to smile. New thoughts, glad thoughts, healing thoughts will be working their miracles upon the minds of the young people. A cor dial invitation is extended to all the young people over fifteen years of age to attend this meeting. They are assured that it will be one of the most inspiring experiences in their lives.
