Harvey Cliford Kinion was born at Virginia, Bates‘Co., Mo., February 11, 1913, and departed this life February 2, 1916, at the age of 2 years, 11 months and 22 days, after an illness of only one day of pneumonia, at Hardin, Montana. Mr. and Mrs, Kinion had only been in Hardin one week when this sad bereavement came to them. Harvey was a child of a happy disposition, always having a sweet smile for those he met. He was loved and petted by all who knew him, Harvey was only a bud here on earth ready to bloom into a RACE SUICIDE Birth Rate in Missouri Slides . Backwards 4,176 Less Than in 1914.

Smithy. ‘astebat of the Teacher Traini ng the Butler High School, lected-some statistics upon the ef- fects of smoking upon the minds of young boys, that ought to cause boys who are users of tobacco “sa think seriously. . Slips were passed to each boy in the High School containing the following questions, with the un- derstanding that such answers were to be treated confidentially : Your name. Do you smoke? Have you ever smoked? Have you smoked during the present school year? What do you smoke and how much? How long have you smoked? The grades of the different classes of boys were then compared with the following deductions Those who had never smoked made 22.3 per cent E grades. Those who had smoked during the present school year made 3.1 per cent E grades. Those who had smoked six months or more regularly made no E grades. || Those who ‘had never smoked made 19.7 per cent S_ grades. Those who had smoked some time during the school year made 10.4 per cent S grades. Those who had not smoked at all made 28.9 per cent M grades: those having smoked during the school year made 21.8 per cent M grades and those having smoked six months or more regularly 8.8 per cent M grades. Those having never smoked made only 21 per cent I grades as compared with 46.8 per eent by those who had smoked at some time during the year and 50 per cent by those having smoked six months or more regularly. Of those having never smoked 7.9 per cent failed, while 35.2 per cent of those having smoked six months or more regularly failed. The symbol E means excellent, S superior, M medium, I inferior, and F failure. It will be noted in the above data that ‘‘those having smoked six months or more regularly’’ are also included in the list of ‘‘those who have smoked at some time during the school year.’’ The above deductions alone ought to be enough to keep a thoughtful boy from using tobac- co but there are two other: good reasons ‘why he should not use it. First, the habit is an expensive one. While this phase of the question seems but a small matter at the béginning, this expense with loss of interest, amounts to an enormous sum during the life time of the habitual user. Sec- ond, the habit is offensive to many. Man being a social being It is therefore wrong for one to impose upon his friends an -odor that is obnoxious to them. The question that every boy should ask himself is, ‘‘Does it Pay?’’ Does it pay from a finan-, cial standpoint, from an intellect- ual standpoint and from the standpoint of making himself of- fensive to others? TI believe that if the boys can be made to see that it does not ‘‘pay”’ to smoke the great majority have the will power to abstain from the habit. ‘We hope that what we have said may be the means of causing for themselves, : W.

Driven two abreast the live stock mentioned would form a line 1,100 miles long, allowing eight feet, which is merely provid- ing breathing room for each team. It took 260,087 avérage sized stock cars in 1915 to handle this turnout of cattle, hogs, sheep and horses and mules, which came from states as far West as the Rocky Mountains, as far South as the Gulf of Mexico, as far North as the Canadian border and as far East as Indiana and the eastern foothills.of Kentucky and Ten- nessee. The aggregate value was ap- proximately $428,200,000, enough money to build 28 dreadnaughts at $15,000,000 each. The total shipments of live stock, 1915, from St. Louis, Kan- sas City and. St. Joseph were: Cattle, 2,527,162 head; 3,770,856 head of hogs, 2,251,874 head of sheep and 405,019 head of horses and mules, What effect the Eur- opean war had on the number of horses and mules handled in 1915, as compared with 1914 and 1913 is shown by that in 1915, 417,596 head were handled, and during 1914 264,710 and in 1913 275,627, a gain of nearly 60 per cent over 1914 and 52 over 1913, Vice President “Western Union Telegraph Company Dead. | New York, Feb. 10.—Belvidere Brooks, vice president and gener- al managef of the Western Union Telegraph Company, died sudden- ly at his home on Riverside Drive.

When a boy of 11 years, he en- tered the service of the Western Union as a messenger in Navasota, Tex. Persistency and .industry won promotion ‘and”he went’ for- ward with rapid strides. Within five months after be- coming a messenger boy, he had mastered telegraphy and by the time he was 12 he was a_ full fledged operator.
