FARMER VICTIM OF OLD SWINDLE

Loses SIO,OOO On Horse Racing Game —Gets Two $5,000 Drafts. ' .St. Joseph, Mo.—A SIO,OOO swindle was pulled off in St. Joseph, the victim being Boone Fancher, a rich farmer, who lives near Oregon, Nicholas J. Glover, of St. Joseph, was arrested at Princeton, Mo., accused of being one of four men who worked the swindle, and was brought here. The swindle practiced on Fancher was the old horse race “sure thing” game. Fancher had advertised his farm . for sale, and' he says the swindlers came' to his house to get an option on it for a relative in California. Several days ago they returned and told him the money had been ( received from California, but they had, lost it in St. Joseph betting on a horse race In the east. They wormed themselves into the old man’s confidence and by pretending they had a sure tip this time, induced him to get a draft for $5,000 on a St. Joseph bank and turn over to them for bettingFancher bought~the draft here and when he presented it at the GermanAmerican National bank the officers tried to dissuaderiiim from drawing the cash, but he had confidence in his new friends and received the full amount in $lO and S2O bills. When this was lost Fancher was yet credulous and he went to Oregon, procured another draft for $5,000 and had it cashed at another bank here. When his friends did not show up at their usual meeting place irt two days the old farmer became suspicious and appealed to the police. Fancher formerly lived at Savannah, Mo., where two years ago the dead body of his young wife was found in the yard at their home early one morning. The night before Mrs. Fancher had been one of a party of two women and two men who had motored to St. Joseph to attend a theatre. Her husband was not a member of the party. R. B. Coffee, a Savannah -merchant, was the last person seen with Mrs. Fancher, and he was arrested on a charge of murdering her, but was aquitted at his trial soon afterward. Fancher is, 75 years old and twice a widower.

BIG AUTO RUNS INTO ROAD GRADER

Mt. Ayr Tribune. Driver of Grader Slightly Injured, Horse Hurt, Lights on Machine Destroyed.

While returning Friday evening with the road grader from a day’s work grading roads, Foster Brunton and Harry Elijah were run into by a large auto driven by a couple df strangers. The accident occurred just east of the corner northeast of town. The grader was being driven east, while the automobile approached from the east. The grader was drawn by six horses, hitched four abreast and two in the lead. The driver of the machine did not see the approaching grader until almost upon it and it seems really phenominal that results were not worse than they were. As is was the two lead horses got the brunt of the collision and one of the •animals, belonging to Mr. Brunton, shows signs of being considerably injured. Mr. Elijah, who .was not driv\ ing, jumped in time to get clear, but Mr. Brunton was thrown down among the horses and his escape was miraculous. For as it was he suffered only some scratches and a bruise jor so. But Foster thought for a little while, when he was down under the horses with the machine headed for him, that the day of the trumpet sounding had come.

The auto seemed to have suffered no worse calamity than two broken lamps, a badly disfigured fender and some minor breaks. The occupants, two strangers, seemed inclined to at first shoulder the blame onto the graders, saying that they themselves were as far to the roadside as they could get, but when shown clearly that they were not, they gave it up and admitted they had not seen the approaching grader, which of a right is entitled to the road. The autoists declined to reveal their names or whereabouts and seemed very anxious to be off. Harry took the license number of their machine before they got away and if any serious effects develop in the case of Mr. Brunton’s injuries, or of the horses, the hasty drivers may be yet looked up.

Trend of Club Work

Development of Social Side of Rural Life Prominent Feature of Club Projects. CHWHJ€HCHWOiXHKH>CHW>iKHCHJrtHKHOHai In the early development of the agricultural club work the financial possibilities were usually stressed and large cash prizes were offered to induce young people to enter into and complete the various phases of club work. This niethod of creating interest has fallen into disfavor. The tendency has been to present the work on its merits. The desire on the part of club leaders and other extension workers is that the members enter the work for the ben’efits to be derived rather than in the hope ofwinning a Jarge cash prize. The agricultural papers of the country have published the financial side of the work. The school authorities are more and more appreciating the educational value of practical agriculture. Many educators, who know the great need of rural children for school training that will fit them for their environment —life on the farm—turn to the agricultural clubs work as one of the means of vitalizing the work'of the rural schools—especially those schools that are attempting to teach agriculture without adequate laboratory equipment. Such educators see in club work a means to the end that the home farm of the student becomes an efficient working laboratory without the expense to the school system. They have been convinced that the schools that are active in club work are in general the most efficient schools, and that the pupils engaged in club work are not only the best behaved but that their scholarship grades are much higher than those of the nonclubTmembers. This comes from the fact that the .necessary motive is offered and the heart interests of the children are engaged. As a result, the school work and the home life of'the members re tied up very closely* and the relation between the twu is more firmly cemented. Club work is an important spoke in the wheel of vocational training which is rapidly being rolled to the forefront of educational endeavor.

The social side of club work is more and more to receive the attention its importance merits. The club groups in practically every State of the Union are holding regular monthly meetings under the direction of some mature and experienced leader (in many cases school teachers). Officers electad from the club membership preside and carry on the meeting according to parliamentary law. The programs, together with references and suggestions . are furnished to the club each month by the State agent. Each member reports the-pro-gress of his or her work. Timely articles of instruction are presented by the members and by experienced adults. In most of the Northern and Western States the club meeting is divided into three sections: First, business; second, subject matter program; and, third, the social program, suggestions being furnished by leaders on all three phases. As la rule, 90 minutes are used, giving 20 minutes to business, 40 to the subject matter, and 30 to the social interests. The local leader is always present at these meetings to advise and dinecessary. | association with each other and taking part in the club program causes the members to wear off the rough corners of their social side. The individualistic ten. dency of the rural people is thus weakened and the way to rural -cooperation and organization is paved. Strictly" social meetings, picnics, field days, ete., are held at various times. Thus, the club work tends to take an increasingly important part in the development of the social side of rural life.

“Ths British army has raised its age limit to 45 years,” said H. E. Gresham, the British consul to Cleveland. - “The age limit originally was 38. “The army isn’t so exclusive either as to age or as to physique as it was at first. “A slacker in Manchester tripd to get exempted the other day. “I’ve got such poor eyesight," he said. “I can’t sqe any distance at all.’, ' • “ ‘Oh, that’ll be all right,’ said the surgeon. , ‘You’ll have an excellent view. We’ll give you a trench in the very front line’.”

Well to Get the Saving Habit

The person who saves is the person who gets ahead. This is one of the first things that the woman in business learns. No business can last, or at any rate, it cannot last very long if it is not run at a profit. Raving * profit in busines? means that the income exceeds the outgo. Exactly the same thing applies I tc the business worker. There are two things that the business worker must resolve upon for business success. The first is to save systematically and persistent Ty. The second is to shun debt, says the Nevrark News. Saving is a habit—a habit <r. can bb cultivated. It has, indeed, io »-» cultivated before it can become i -abit. To save Is to start and add to a fund, which fund represents the surplus gained from work. The business woman who save* regularly is accumulating such a surplus. She is taking one by ono the steps leading to prosperity. Every dollar that she puts by gives her the comfortable feeling of being Just that jnuch mpre financially independent '\Vhat she Is saving for is, of course, an individual matter. The point emhasized here is the importance of the habit of saving. A great many wage earners realize frota the first the importance of saving. Others do not seem to realize It They may put by for special things, but often they do not do even this, and when they do save there is no system about it. And it is system that counts in saving. The only plan to follow, no matter what one’s wages may be, is to save a part of the money received, and to save it regularly, week by week or month by month. It may be only a very small part, but thd putting aside of this part makes for the fixing of the habit. The great thing is to start swing; the next great thing is to keep on saving. Saving should be made sensible and in accordance with the general plan. It is possible for a person to be extravagant about saving, just as It 1J possible to be extravagant about anything else. A person can save at the expense of things that in themselves help to raise the earning power. This is not sensible saving. It may be very expensive saving. It is poor • saying just as parsimony is poor economy. See what you can save reasonably and then, so far as possible, hold to it. Be regular about it. Have a place for your savings—a place where the savings will give you a return. At the end of stated times, say three months, six months or a year, see what you have saved. When the increase in wages comes, perhaps with a change in position for the better, be sure to take account of the opportunities thus offered and reasonably increase the amount of your savings. It is a very decided temptation, when , one has riore money to do with, to increase expenses out of proportion to the increased ‘resources. This temptation must be guarded against. It can be, if the habit of saving has been fixed. The woman who sets aside a certain sum to be saved from her salary comes to be the woman who estimates her erpenses in whatever direction. She knows what her income is, and bcw best to handle it. She is the woman who carefully keeps an expense account and takes pride ln ?keeping it, too.

Here Is a word of warning that should be heeded by many women: Just because something has been saved, do not run into extravagance. It is perilously easy to "borrow” from one’s savings and to use them for this purpose or that Savings may be used in an emergency, of course, but it must be real emergency, not a make believe one. Money kept conveniently near at hand is apt to be used up; if ft is in a bank the withdrawal involves more thought, and the decision to take the money out is, as a rule, not so Quickly made. . ' V’

LOOK OUT FOR IT HERE.

Morbus Sabbaticus is a disease :'n which somptoms vary, but it never interferes with the appetite. It never lasts more ithan twenty-four hours. No physician is ever called. It is becoming very prevalent, and is destroying thousands every year. It always proves fatal in the end—-to the soul. Beware of it. The attack comes suddenly on Sunday morning; no symptoms are felt on Saturday night; the patients well; eats a hearty breakfast but about church time the attack comes on and continues until services are over for, the morning. Then the patient feels easy, and eats a hearty dinner. In the afternoon he is able to talk and take a walk; he eats a hearty supper, but about church time he has another s attack and stays at home. He retires early, sleeps well and wakes up Monday morning refreshed and able to go to work, and does not have any symptoms of the disease until the following Sunday.
