He stated farther that not one of our mortgage buyers, nor the Walton Trust Com- pany itself, owns an acre of fore- closed land. Considering that the Walton Trust Company handled about 12,000 mort- gages, aggregating twenty millions of dollars, the showing is a good one. Piano Contest.

Columbia, Mo., Jan. 16.—Missouri Chief Josephine, the famous cow owned by the College of Agriculture of the State of Missouri, has failed to break the record for the year. The official test ended this after- noon, and while the exact figures can- not be obtained yet, it is certain that Josephine will fall below the world’s high mark, held by Colanthus Fourth Johanna of Rosendale, Wis. At the close of the eleventh month Josephine was about 300 pounds to the good, but that margin soon dis- appeared. “Her production during the last few weeks has varied from. thirty to fifty pounds,’’ said her keeper, I. T. Van Note, to-day. ‘‘Her failure to make this last record is due to her small size and nothing else.” The fame of Chief Josephine has extended to the four corners of the earth, but the English seem rather skeptical regarding her marvelous record. Mrs. Joicy B Snodirase: Mrs. Joicy B. Snodgrass died at her home near Spruce, Mo., Jan. 11, 1911. She wasbornin Cooper county, Mo., Feb. 13, 1824, and was married in 1856, to Wm. Snodgrass, who an- swered death’s call in 1892. To this union were born five children, three boys and two girls, all of whom are still living. She came to Bates county in 1869 and resided here till her death. She has been a member of the M.- E. church South for 73 years and was one of the charter members of the Spruce Methodist church. Funeral services were conducted at Union church by her pastor, Rev. Geo. E. Hargis, and her body was laid to rest beside that of her husband in Union Cemetery. 1900 potinds and 16 1-2 and 8 years City to-day decide whether or not to againsub- home Saturday morning, and inter-| old and fine family horse. ‘another prohibition , left tat the bowe of ber See ‘mit to the voters of Missouri in 1912, /ment was made Green Lawn ceme- Rockville Booster. - amendment. tery.
