Of BUTLER, MISSOURI Capital, Surplus Fund and Profits $357,000.00 The Largest and Strongest Financial Institution in Southwest Missouri One 27 ton Capacity Silo Mobilizing the Missouri Mule The mobilization of the Missouri mule has been ordered and is now under way. This was expected. The black, bay, brown, gray, iron-gray and even the celebrated ‘‘blue mules’ of Missouri are as much a part of any general mobilization as is the general staff, the chief of that staff, the commissary department or the sanitary division of anybody's army. Of course, the European situation has caused an advance in the price of mules just as it made more valuable arsenals, dry docks, transports, good jgenerals and war material. There- | fore the mobilization of the Missouri mule at eastern and southern sea- ports. He must take his chances of ‘capture at sea like any other contra- band of war, having achieved that 'distinctiog because of his activities in ' recent conflicts. A motor truck looks very satisfac- |tory in the moving pictures of mili- tary maneuvers and is a marvel of military efficiency over military high- ways. However, it appears that the chariot of Mars is not to be propelled by gasoline. The Missouri mule re- mains the motor unit par excellence when that chariot strikes cross coun- try. He isa motor that can gather the raw muterial of his propelling power off the country as he goes. Unworried by lack of supply depots, lack of roads and lack of mechani- cians, he responds to the lash of the “‘blacksnake” whip and gets through somehow where gasoline meekly sub- mits to circumstances. : No wonder the Missouri mule is mobilizing and his price has _risen.— Republic.

United Drug Company Side Square—Phone 45—Butler, Missouri Edward Wesley Fouts. Passaic and community was rudely. shocked when it became known that the subject of this sketch had passed over into the Great Beyond at his home in Passaic on last Friday even- ing at 6 o’clock. It*was a shock to everyone because it was not thought until a very shert time before his death that there was any immediate danger. In Ed Fouts was a citizen that everyone held in the highest re- spect and esteem, and his life, meas- ured by a strict standard of duty toward his family and all his fellow mortals, was an exemplary life. He will be sorely missed by everyone. He was about 44 years old, being born in Morgan county, Ohio, Feb- ruary Ist, 1870. Inthe fall of 1891 he came to Bates county and two years later was married to Kittie Shealey. He has since resided in Bates county. Eight children were born to the union, seven of whom with their mother survive him. He was buried at Mt. Olivet church yard in the presence of a large num- ber of his friends who were there to pay their last tribute to his mortal re- mains. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Reed of Liberty, from 23rd Psalm, 4th verse. Peace to his ashes. Costly Lesson Because he refused to turn to the right and permit the passage of an rautomobile which had overtaken him and blocked the auto fora mile, de- spite the requests,of the driver of the car to let him by, Roy Harrison, residing near Fulton, was arrested and fined, fine and costs amounting to $29.50. Harrison seemed to think it quite a joke to hold the road against the car, but he knows more about the rules of the road now, although the lesson was costly. The provision of the road law applying in this case fol- lows: “When any such person operating amotor vehicle shall overtaek any such horse, animal or other vehicle, shall, as soon as practicable, turn aside to the right so as to allow free passage on the left hand side.’’ The penalty for the violation of this law.is a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $100 for the first offense, and fora second violation a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, or imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 60 days.—Pleasant Hill Times. Corn Grows High in Boone Columbia, Mo., Aug. 10.—Farmers all over Boone county have'been go- ing through their ~cornfields lately and picking out the tallest stalks to bring to Columbia for exhibit. Sev- eral specimens more than 15 feet high have been brought in, usually with the apology that even taller ones could have been found if the farmer had only had time to look for them. One of the prize small fields of the county is ona tract south of Colum- bia owned by the University. W. L. Nelson, assistant secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, re- cently brought from there a stalk measuring 15 feet 14 inch. Nelson said this was a rather ‘‘sickly’’ sam- ple, as some of the full-grown stalks in the same field were- considerably taller. J. H. Nolen Escapes Trial Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 5.—State Land Reclamation Agent John H. No- len will not be tried on a charge of hunting without a license in the Cole County Circuit Court as the charge against him was dismissed. Because of the dismissal of the. case, the question whether it is law- ful for a county clerk to issue a state license to a resident of another coun- ty will remain unadjudicated. Nolen’s right to hunt in Cole coun- ty was questioned and being unable to produce his license, which he had left at home, he was accused of hunt- ing without a license. Later he pro- duced a state license issued to him in Henry county. Oil Found Near Montevallo. Dr. J. F. Robinson may be the first man to profit by the finding of oil in this county. Some time ago Dr. Rob- inson purchased the Jacob Faith farm two miles and a half west of Monte- vallo. Recently the man living on the place found. quite a bit of oil while digging coal a few feet below the surface of the ground. Dr. Robin- son will make a thorough investiga- tion.—Nevada Mail.
