Interstate honors among Teachers College orators ii nd extempore speakers will be decided at the annual contests to be held at Teachers Colleen here Friday, April 24, when contestants from five states will compete for places in these events.

For the first time In 10 years the contests are being held here, it being the practice for Missouri Teacher College to take turns in entertaining visiting speakers when the contest comes to Missouri once every five years. Five states, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Missouri, are eligible to send orators and extempore speakers to the contest. There will be an unusual representation of Missouri this year, since Bower Aly, a local student, will defend its honors both in oratory and extempore speaking. A state is very seldom represented in both contests by one student. The college is preparing an unusual entertainment for visitors.

Prominent in the entertainment will be a pageant presented in front of Academic Hall. Among students selected to present the pageant are Fer-gene Goddin, Naylor; May Canepa, Festus; Elizabeth Thias, Union; Mil-dred Barnett, Cuba; Velma Miles, Far-mington; Eva Kieth, Ironton; Lenore Crider, Caruthersville; Ella Brase, Jackson; Ruth Allison, Poplar Bluff; Margaret Mclntoch, Sullivan; Emily Jones, Fredericktown; Ermyl Harwell, Poplar Bluff; Elizabeth Tatum, Clarkton; Annie Curtner, Braggadocio; Mildred Dunscomb, Clarkton; Helen Dillman, Caruthersville, Violet Benson, DeSoto.

Mastcrson, a respected and enterprising farmer, living three miles east of Jackson, was the victim of two slick-tongued artists who called at his home on April 2nd, and after performing a fake operation received in payment $3U0 in cash. Following the instructions of the strangers the loss was not reported until a week later when the chances of apprehending them are exceedingly small due to the length of time they were given in which to get out of the country.

According to Masterson's story two men called at his home representing themselves as oculists and at once proccded to fit a pair of glasses to his eyes. With this apparently accomplished an unsuccessful attempt was made to fit Mrs. Mastcrson. After she declared that the glasses did not aid her eyesight the strangers feigned a carefjil examination. Inquiry was made as to her general health and she was questioned as to whether or not she had ever suffered a stroke of paralysis.

When she informed them that she had formerly undergone an operation for cancer of nose he at once declared the cancer to be the cause of her failing eyesight and warned her that in case the root, which evidently remained, was not removed, total blindness would follow. Several instruments were used which doubtless caused an optical illusion and prompted Mrs. Masterson to declare that she had lost the sight of one eye, which is not a fact. The second artist was then called into consultation and after a second examination by the two the first statement was confirmed and Mr. Master-son was called aside and informed that the cancer must be removed at once or his wife would shortly be blind.

The question of the cost was then discussed and the second man represented himself as a Chicago eye specialist and claimed to have recently performed a similar operation oh a Mrs. Reynolds in Cape Girardeau for which he received $5,500. He agreed, however to operate on Mrs. Master-son for $1,200 but when told by Mr. Masterson that he had only $850, it was finally agreed, on account of the circumstances, to accept $800 in full payment.

On the completion of the agreement the slick stranger proceeded to his automobile and returned with a bag of surgical instruments. After careful preparation an instrument was inserted in the nose of Mrs. Masterson and after a few moments there was ((t), 1920. Waatara Nawapapar Union.)

The Democrat-Argus has received and is appreciative of an invitation from the Board of Regents of the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College at Cape Girardeau to attend the Memorial 'Service in that city, next Sunday, the 26th which will be held at the College auditorium at three o'clock in commemoration of the life and services of the late Louis Houck. Mr. Houck was for 39 yeaars a member of the Board of Regents and it was due in large measure to his faithfulness, energy and devotion that the College made the rapid strides which has characterized it as one of the leading educational institutions of the state. For thirty-six years of that time he acted as president of the Board which is a splendid testimonial to his fitness and ability within itself.

No doubt a goodly number of people from Caruthersville and Pemiscot county will attend this Memorial Service, for he was known to and loved by many of our citizens who will be glad of the opportunity to do reverence to his memory in this manner.

Mr.

Masterson is bearing his loss good naturedly and can give no reason why he was so easily duped. He has always been cautious in his business affairs and has been a hard working and successful farmer. Some of his close friends state that he and his wife have lived in dread of cancer since Mrs. Masterson's first operation. This fact combined with several misfortunes in the family doubtless was the cause of his reaching that mental state, upon having the horrors of blindness from cancer vividly pictured to him, by those well trained in their profession, where he lost sight of caution and was willing to part with his savings in order to avoid the much dreaded fate for his wife.
