Court Favors County Agent Appropriates $300 for Salary, Office; Child Drowned; Man Dies at Wheel of His Auto CALIFORNIA, May 0-Moniteau County farmers and those interested in raising funds to continue county agent services here were encouraged this week when the Moniteau County Court subscribed $300 to a fund that must reach approximately $1000 to insure office and traveling expenses of an agent. Contributions of $170 have already been received by L. L.

Longan, president of the soils conservation board. It is believed that business men and merchants throughout the county contribute and thereby give Moniteau County services that leaders believe necessary for the welfare of the farm program. Township committeemen and representatives will canvass each school district. Child Drowned Donald Reed, two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.

Henry Reed, was drowned Wednesday afternoon he fell into a well on their farm home north of California. The child was playing in the yard and had opened the well top and fallen. The baby was rushed to California and on to Sedalia to a hospital where a pullmotor was used in an effort to revive him, but'physicians believed he was dead before the frantic parents had gotten into Sedalia. The Reeds have three other children, the oldest of whom is ten years old. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon.

Jasper Barnes, 20 years old, was instantly killed early Sunday morning when his automobile, driven by Charles Albin, went into a ditch on Oak Street, in the central part of (lie city. Physicians examined the- body believed Barnes died of heart attack, caused by the shock. No bruises nor cuts were found. Barnes, an employee at Moniteau Mills, and Albin had gone riding. As they returned home the accident occurred.

Albin could not account for the accident. The car struck a stone gutter on one side of the street and as it got out of the driver's control, plunged into the ditch on the opposite side of the street. Albin escaped injury. Barnes, who had been the main support of his family since they moved here in 1933, is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Horace Barnes, six brothers and sisters, all of whom live in California. Funeral services were held Monday at the home and burial was at the city cemetery. Complete Audit H. F. Scofield and J.

Powell was amazed at his speedy exit. As the sheriff was returning men to the jail from his garden where they had been working, Snow escaped. Powell had gone into the building, opening the' doors, and believed he was followed by the four men.

Instead, only three came in. A quick search about the neighborhood brought information from several neighbors that they had seen a man running north. CCC enrollees and the state patrolmen were called to assist in the search, but apparently Snow's fleet-footedness had gotten him safely under cov- er. He had served three of a six months sentence.
