The Neosho Times from Neosho, Missouri • Page 4

FOUR THE NEOSHO TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1936 MISSOURI COUPLE SET MATRIMOIAL RECORD One of the most remarkable women in Texas history was Sarah Standifer, Missouri-born. Sarah, later Sarah Litton, adapted herself to the lusty, perilous, gaudy life of the early state without eren a backward look at the home she had left. She rear14 children and presided, at the last without the help of her husband, over a saloon' and hotel which was the scene of many a drunken killing. Sarah married seven times, but always the same John Litton, her first The status of Texas changed repeatedly while she ran her establishment at a stop on an old emigrant trail between Brenham and Austin, 'and each time Sarah and John made the friendly gesture of being remarried under the new state. They ran up eventually, a total of five civil and two tribal ceremonies, for they kept peace the same way with the Indian tribes.

Sarah came to Texas with her mother, Elizabeth Standifer, a Missouri widow, and five other youngsters almost exactly a century ago. Enroute in their covered- wagon, they met John Litton, and he took them to the home of his uncle, Leman Parker. Elizabeth married Leman, and then John and Sarah set out upon their career of marriage. Hog-Eye, where they settled, made a convenient stage stop, and to the Litton inn came every type of man the frontier had attracted, ranchers, gamblers, adventurers and outlaws. Sarah stayed serenly at her post, puffing on her clay pipe, keeping an eye on the children and seeing that her customers got what they wanted.

She went along just as quietly after John died shortly after the birth of their fourteenth child. In its Centennial year, Texas is paying honor to Sarah Standifer and the others who were the first developers of what is now one of the richest states in the a American hundredth union. birthday The party, state's a one 000,000 World's Fair, opening in Dallas June 6, is its tribute to the pioneers. The six-month Texas Centennial Exposition will be at the same time a dramatization of the glamorous past in which Sarah Standifer participated and a celebration of the achievements the men and women of her day made possible. FARM POPULATION OF MISSOURI INCREASING The farm population of Missouri rose from a 1,114,484 to 183,499 during the 57 months ending Jan.

1, 1935, an increase of 69,015, or 6.2 per cent, according to the federal agricultural census of last year, returns of which have just been announced. The entire increase is accounted for by the exodus of city folk back to the soil. Of these, the census showed, 81,958 migrated from the cities to farm lands during the five depression years. "The state's farm population Jan. 1, 1935," the census bureau states, "consisted of 644 white persons and 28,855 colored persons (negroes, Japanese.

Chinese, Indians and other non-white races). A large portion of the counties reporting an increase of more than 1,000 were located in the Ozarks, around St. Louis and in the southeastern part of the state. Dwellings on farms totaled 314,393, of which 297,778 were occupied and 615 unoccupied. Total number of farms in state was 278,454, and of these 8,824 had no dwellings thereon.

SHEPHERD DOG ADOPTS TWO TINY WOLF CUBS H. R. Roberts of Republic, route 2, was digging in his barn lot a few days age when his spade caved in a ground hog burrow. Inside he found two tiny wolf cubs. He took them into the barn where his black shepherd dog was nursing two new pups.

She promptly adopted them and the family, the Roberts say, gets alongs fine together. "But we're watching for the mother wolf," he said. "She has been back once looking for her cubs. I'm going to set a trap for her and try to catch her alive. The father? I haven't seen him since I found the cubs." Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow or 1:17.

A minister in a small Kansas town is reported to have recently refused an increase in salary. He gave as his reason that it was too hard to collect his present salary. He didn't want to take on any more responsibility. There are only five women in the world whom King Edward VIII of England may marry. If he marries a commoner or some one other than one of these five, without the consent of 'ment, the marriage would be morganatic and his children would not be entitled to succeed to the throne.

Mr. Lowder had a nice bunch of chicks, nine weeks old, that were weighing two pounds or better. These were in a 10x12i brooder house and were out, at the edge of a corn field where chicks had not been grown be- fore. He believes that this is 'one of the important things to do to avoid diseased chicks.

Several interesting items were! observed at this meeting. His house had become too crowded for this large number of chicks! and he had porch on to his brooder house and used straw for a roof. Mr. Lowder, in explaining the low cost of production of these 225 chicks, said all the feed he had to buy was grain, as the chicks secured the protein substance from the skimmed milk produced on the farm. The total cost of the original chicks was $16.59.

An extra fifty cents was added to the cost of these chicks i in producting materials for his homemade brooder stove. This stove is made out of two coal oil barrels with clay packed in between them. Mr. Lowder is much pleased with his stove. His fuel cost was only the labor necessary in getting the wood from the woodlot nearby.

County Agent Darnall discussed with the visitors at the meeting the Grow Healthy Pullets plan used by Mr. Lowder and answered a lot of questions that the poultrymen asked. Most of the questions concerned diseases. Most of the trouble the poultrymen were having with chicks were diseases caused by having raised chicks on ground where the older chickens had been raised or on ground receiving drainage from infested ground. Mr.

Lowder was well pleased with the plan and said that the chicks had caused him little trouble and that he had raised 95 per cent of those put in the brooder house. BROWN URGES PUBLIC TO EXERT CAUTION The public should become more cautious in making investments, advises Dwight H. Brown, secretary of state, in whose offices the state securities department is located. "Recent improvements in federal and state blue sky laws," he says, "should make citizens conscious of the measure of protection that is given them, and of their opportunity to get the plain, unvarnished a about securities which are offered them." The "slicker" have hard sledding in attempting to sell or switch an investor, it is pointed out. Wildcat oil and optimstic gold mine ventures could easily be sold as speculations to the gullible a few years ago, but it is becoming increasingly difficult.

Hopeful patent promotions and orange grove deals can be investigated more carefully by the person who has money to invest. The slicker must find a new game, or go into straight reloading, "Reloading schemes," says Secretary Brown, "are also on the wane. Reloading is a technical term meaning the high pressuring sales of additional securities in quantity to the person who timidly made a small initial purchase." The requirements of federal and state registration, and a prospectus setting forth full facts the investor, are making a dent in the reloading business. There is still some little bootlegging of securities, but nothing in comparison to a few years ago. A swindler may slip over the state line into Missouri with a pocketful of frozen real estate bonds, make one or two trades for utilities stocks, and dash back into his home state before the Missouri securities department has learned of the matter.

The public is urged to report such instances to Dwight Brown promptly in order that quick action may be taken. COUNTY COUNCIL. MEETING AT WANDA JUNE 7th The Newton County Council of Religious Education will hold an all day meeting Sunday, June 7, South M. E. church at Wanda.

There will be a basket dinner at noon and a 2 o'clock a program will be given with the subject for discussion, "My Talent." Sunday schools throughout the county are invited to attend. Automobile construction in this country reached in May the highpoint since 1929 which year established the all time high for this industry.

He charged that relief work was used in Stone county to force people to vote the democratic ticket, and that his party had to resort to "bloody fist fights" to stop the practice.

An emphatic denial of the charge is made by W. S.
