The tender of a fast freight on the Joplin division 6f the Missouri Pacifie was derailed between Ar- thur and Horton early Monday morning. Four.cars, including a tank car of gasoline, were de- railed. The gasoline caught fire and two flat cars and a small bridge over which the track runs were destroyed.—Metz Times. The Rev. Delaye “and Mr. Pfaffenberger, who recently con- dueted such a successful revival at Drexel, will commence a re- vival at Amoret August 13, says the Amoret Leader. They will bring their own tent which will be set upon a vacant lot, so that there will be plenty of room. At the Drexel meeting practically the whole, town was converted and great hopes are entertained that they will lave equally as good-a meeting at Amoret. The farm residence of Frank Stevens, who lives on the old Ridgway place northwest of Hud- son, was burned Monday morn- ing, the blaze being started from an oil stove. We understand that Mrs. Stevens was rendering out some meat scraps for soap and the grease boiled over and run down on the lighted wick causing the explosion. The home with all the contents was wiped out in a lit- tle while, nothing was saved, not even any — clothing.—Appleton City Journal.

You keep the chicken house clean to keep the parasites off the chickens. You spray to kill germs—but what do you do to get the germs and parasites inside the chickens? Hens especially show it at moulting time and during the winter. How can you expect them July 8, of diseases incident to old age, Mr. Kash was born in Morgan county, Kentucky, nearly 82 years lago. He was unitéd in marriage December 18, 1856, to Miss Deb- bie Jane Swango. In the late seventies they came ‘to Missouri and settled in the eastern part of this county where they have since resided. Besides his wife he is survived by four sons, D. H. Kash, of Din- uba, Cal., J. E. Kash, of Vernon county, and S. B. and J..M. Kash of Johnstown, three. daughters, Mrs, Lee Simpson, of Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Ira Gutridge, of Oregon, and Mrs. Lillie Moore of Johns- town. Tn the death of Mr. Kash Bates county loses one of her best citi- zens. He came here when the county was in the making and was always ready to do anything for the betterment and upbuilding of the community. He and his devot- ed wife reared a family of useful men and women and after a life well spent he laid down the bur- den and went to a well earned rest. The funeral services were con- ducted by Dr. S: W. Maxey, a boyhood-friend, assisted by Elder Bunch, of Montrose at the Johns- town church Monday afternoon. The esteem in which he was held by his neighbors was shown when almost the entire community dropped their daily tasks to at- tend the funeral. 3539 Cats Killed to Safeguard Lives of ‘Babies.

Estep, another Mexican war veteran, re- sides at Bradleyville. * The Harrisorfville Democrat is out with a new fish story. Ac- cording to that always reliable paper a farmer who lives ‘near Lone Tree, in Cass county, while taking a swim in a small stream in that locality, located a large cat fish and called his son to|! bring hima halter, which he placed on the fish and led it to dry land, all of which sounds like a perfectly good fish story. With a full set of teeth of 70, Newt Brandon of Boone county never used a toothbrush in his life. Mr. Brandon chewed to- baceo from the time he was 10 years old until last.

CANTERBURY FROM THE FAR WEST pals i Letter from Col. and Mrs. Clyde Robbins. Silesia, Mont., July 4th, 1916. Editor Times :— Thought I would drop you a few lines today. This is a beauti- ful day here and people are go- ing to different parts of the coun- try to celebrate. We can look off to the south- west and see the snow-covered mountains and while the-days are very hot the nights get real cool. We slept last night with two heavy comforts and two blankets over us and were not too warm, We have seen lots of country, some of_all kinds. little country in Wyoming that looked to be of much value ex- cept as a grazing country and we would drive 150 miles and not see a house except a few little sheep herder’s shacks, more often they live in a covered wagon. Here in Montana along the riv- er valleys they have some very good land and raise lots of wheat, oats, alfalfa .and timothy and clover, but little corm growing this year. Out. of these valleys the ground is high and rongh, We have had a nice trip, had trouble getting over some of the mountains and found lots of bad roads but have enjoyed ourselves anyway, They have some mosqui- toes here now, believe me, and they are very friendly. They fairly swarm along the irriga- tion ditches and make life miser- able in the evenings unless you are protected from them, We saw Charley Robbins and Remsy Stilwell, who lived at old Mulberry for many years. They live at Sheridan, Wyo., and like it fine, Slieridan is a fine little city. At Hardin, Mont., we saw Rob Denning and wife and Dick; Craig and wife who are all getting along nicely, We expect to start home about the 9th. and will go down the Yellow Stone River as far-as Miles City. then across into,the Dakotas and in to Towa, where we will leave father and mother, and ex- pect to We at home about Aug. Ist. Send The Times to Winterset, Towa, as it will not reach me here before I leave. We got it yester- day morning and it seemed like a letter from home. We saw wolves and antelope along the road and they did not seem very wild but stood and stared at us. I guess they never saw a Ford hauling five passengers and pulling a trailer and 1000 pounds of stuff over those mountains before. It was tempting to see the antelope standing out there in easy rifle range and not take a shot at them but as it is a penitentiary offense to kill one in Wyoming at this season I did not. risk a shot, for| if the Penitentiary was much worse than the bad roads we passed over I would not like to stay long. d ‘Well, will close hoping”you are ‘having good weather there and are all enjoying the 4th. Respectfully. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Robbins.
