BOY COMMITS SUICIDE
Fheo Edlin 17-Year-old Pocahon
tas Boy Drank Chloroform
Pocahontas, Feb. 27.— Leaving
the dinner table apparently in
good spirits at noon today, Theo
dore Kdlin, 17 years old, went ta
his room and deliberately placing
a two-ounce vial of chloroform to
his lips drained it to the dregs.
Three hours later the housekeeper,
Mrs. Carter, was horrified to finc^
the body of the young man cold in
death stretched on his bed, the
phial of the tell-tale fluid close by.
Medical aid was summoned, but
young Kdlin had long since passed
beyond all human aid.
Melancholia caused from brood
ing over family troubles is the on
ly cause that can be assigned for
the youths resolve to take his own
life. lie had not seemed himself
since the death of his mother two
years ago. He lived with his fath
er and although no trouble had
ever occurred between them, the
lad did not seem to be in sympathy
with some of his parent’s actions
lately, and had been seen often in
tits of intense brooding, which no
doubt brought on the thought of
self destruction.

SCRATCH THE YELLOW DOG
3arty Does Not Bind a Voter to
Corrupt His Ballot
Editor Journal.—There is noth
ng wrong in pledging a candidate
0 vote for the nominees of the
)arty, because if the party makes
1 mistake and puts on a yellow
log there is an inherent right in
•very voter to scratch off the yel
ow dog, but not to vote for the
)ther fellow. And that right ap
>lies to other nominees besides the
pellow dog.
If you know the nominee to be a
heif; if you know him to be a
Irunkard; if you know that he de
nies the Divine origin of Jesus
(Jhrist(as some who are now in of
fice do) every Christian voter has
the right to scratch the name of
such nominees off the ticket, for il
is understood when the pledge is
taken that the party makes mis
takes, and the Democratic part.t
does not want to put any of the
above in office.

be a fact, we will have an abund
ant crop in lit 10.

BILLIE THE PESSIMIST
His Dark i.antern Doesn’t Shed
Much Light on Situation
Editor Journal I have l>een
reading in your paper some ar
ticles bearing the coveted and
euphonious cognomen of “Hill
Billie.’’ These articles sound very
much like the days of reconstruc
tion everything and everybody
going to the bow-wows.
It appears from Billie’s logic
al (?) position that not one suitable
candidate for the legislature has
yet offered his services to the dear
people—or rather for Billie’s scru
tiny and criticism.
Really, I think if we would just
turn this legislative business over
to Billie, and furnish him with a
sufficient amount of booze, he
would do the thing up just “right”
for us.
Sometime ago Billie kicked very
hard about the premium on some
insurance he had paid here, and
told us how cheap it was in Mis
souri. He intimated that condi
tions generally were much better
in Missouri. Now, Billie, why
didn’t you stay there? Who sent
for you to comedowu here?
Really, Billie, you said some
good things, but gee! you gave us
too much hot air with it. Come,
throw on the brakes, and slow
down just a bit.
Unless you intend to go back to
Missouri, in which event you
would likely have no trouble here
in securing permission, I would
suggest that you try boosting the
town and country for a change.
In conclusion, will say that
whenever we can use some Mis
sourian to tell us just what sort of
laws we need and how we should
vote for legislative candidates, we
will let you know. Dkmockat.

Rouse Wednesday morning, after

HAVN’T YOU BEEN
EXPECTING
TO START BANK ACCOUNT?
Been trying to save an amount suf
ficient to make a “good start?’’
The “small purchase’’ temptation
makes it very hard to accumulate any
certain sum when you keep your money
in your pocket or around the house—
probably that has been YOUR trouble.
This bank accepts deposits of $1 and
up—why not come in and open an ac
count with us NOW’—let the bank help
you save it is the only SAFE way.
