This year each school is maintaining a visiting nurse were likewise working out something spent by last June. With this fact in original to add interest to the parade. died Thursday morning at the age of 98 years, six months and 13 days. Mr.

Hulen was married in 1858 to Miss Maggie Tucker, member of the pioneer Tucker fi tnily of northern Boone County. Of this union five chil- dren were born, four of whom, with Mr. Hulens widow survive. The surviving children are: John W. Hulen of Detroit, Newell C.

Hulen of Kansas City; Mrs. Charles Roberts of Centralia and Mrs. Wesley Wright of Columbia. Prosecuting Attorney Rubey M. Hulen is a grandson of the deceased.

Mr. Hulen was born in northern' Boone County and has lived a total of $23,487.30. A large crowd was present, bidding was fast and prices good. The offering consisted of 1,354 head of hogs, sheep, cattle and mules, and all were high quality stuff. To facilitate matters, the animals wrere sold in lots.

William Harrelson paid the highest price for shoats buying a lot of '20 for $11.95 each. Other prices ranged from $5.10. C. B. Lyman bought a choice red sow for $36.50.

Over 400 sheep were sold. The top was paid by Rob Lockridge. who paid $12 each for a lot of 17. Johnson Brothers paid $10 for a lot GRAM) JURY CALLED Following the statutory requirement which makes the empaneling of a grand jury imperative at least once a year, Sheriff Fred Brown summoned and Judge Harris instructed a grand jury composed of the above men Monday. Missouri law requires that the inquisitorial body convene once each year, and while the prosecuting attorney, with the approval of the court, may call a grand jury at any term of the court or as often as he believes the calling of such a body is justified, it has been the custom in Boone County to call the jury at the last term, the October term of each year.

Judge Harris in instructing the jury reminded them of the high obligation of their office of their rights to summon witnesses, etc. and cautioned them specifically in investigating gambling, the liquor, traffic and the selling of cigarettes or cigarette material to minors. The law makes It the duty of the court to mention these Infractions specifically. Judge Harris told the grand jury that the American people are now on trial before the world and said that any man who sits on a jury and falls to help enforce a law because he does not believe in It Is an anarchist He said the American people are tolerating and winking at law violations that France, Germany, England or any other first-class power would not tolerate. The jurors from Northern Boone are D.

Keen rivalry exists be- of 15 and other prices ranged from most of the prices being over $3. Among the heavy buyers of sheep were John Chrisman, Johnson Brothers, and W.

L. Matteson. Lloyd Qualls bought a red boar for $28.50 and John Smith paid $11 for a choice buck. W. A.

Kellar paid $17.50 for first choice buck. Fourteen big steers were bought by Judge Spurting at $59 each. Richard Cook bought a brindle cow for $61 and John Turner a red muley cow for $61. The mules sold brought exceptionally good prices. J.

E. Moore bought a pair' of 5-year-old black mules for $355; M. L. Smith paid $250 for a pair of 4-year-old brown mules; Bert Winn bought a pair of 3-year-old blue mares for $400; Tom Robnett bought three pairs of mules, one for $297.50, one pair of 4-year-olds for $560 and a pair of 3 and 4 year olds and one three year old animal for $500. Mr.

Considine says that the sale was one of the best ones that he has ever held. in the county all his life, having resided in Halisville for the last 25 years. He was a man of deep conviction, but always susceptible to reason. He was a member of the Red Top Christian Church for many years and was a life long democrat. He was held In the highest esteem In the community in which he resided and in his days of early activity always manifested a great interested a great interest in all matters relating to the good of his community.

The funeral services and burial were conducted at Red Top Saturday afternoon. The Courier joins the community in extending sympathy to the bereaved ones. FREE DENTAL SERTICE And now a free dental clinic has been established at the Boone County Hospital and one of the principal alms is to work in conjunction with the physicians clinic, whch is also held at the hospital. In many of the cases that are handled by the physicians, there Is need for. dental work, and the arrangement which has been worked out will serve to simplify matters for both professions.

It is hoped that those for whom the clinic has been established, will make use of their opportunities. People who have been unfortunate, or who are in need of dental work and are able to have such work done, will And a dentist on duty there for an hour on each Tuesday and Friday. In the past the need of such an effort has been recognized. The county nurse came into contact with such cases, also the County Court. School teachers find need of dental work among some of their school children, whose parents are unable to afford it, due oftentimes to unforseen circum- 30th.

Mrs. Hope says she believes the nurse is a great benefit to the county as she makes regular trips to the country schools and gives health alks to the children. She also examines the children's teeth and if they need attention she writes a note to their parents. It is the coming generation that the Red Cross is vitally interested in, and the presence of a nurse In the county is a great advancement toward public health. However, If the residents of the county are not in terested In a nurse enough to pay for her services by contributing $1 a year for membership to the Red Cross, it will be necessary to abandon the plan.

The Boone County Chapter will hold a meeting soon and decide just what action will be taken in connection with the coming national roll call for 1922. REFUSES TO RUN Opposition to Senator Reed among 1 St. Charles democrats who fought him in the primary is said to have been revived with the resignation from the democratc ticket of C. W. Wilson, candidate for state representative.

Mr. Wilson said he had hoped the party would be reunited after4 the primary but after reading Reed's campaign declarations felt that he could not support him. Wilson urged support of the remainder of the coun- ty ticket. Mrs. Charles E.

Meyer, chairman of the woman's democratic county committee, asserted there had I tween the 97 districts and the pupils of each of these schools have organized for training. The contest will take place on Rollins Field in the afternoon. The Tigers will be absent from Columbia and the whole afternoon can be devoted to the events. As has been the custom, the parade will form and march to the lawn in front of Dean Murafords residence. Lunch will be had there.

They will then return to the courthouse and then march to Jesse Hall, where President Jones will make a short talk. From there to Rollins Field, and then the variotts contests.

WANTS CLOSED SEASON A petition asking the County Court of Boone County to call a vote on closing the season for hunting quail for two years has been filed with the county clerk.

It was signed by more than 150 persons. The Boone County Farm Bureau Saturday declined to vote on a motion to submit the petition to the county court. "This should correct the impression that the petition was circulated by the Farm Bureau, says Ney Jacobs of the! Farm Bureau. The petition, whici calls the matter to a vote in November, Is a result of a drastic county campaign to rid the farmers of chinch bugs, inaugurated by the agricultural extension service. The State Democratic Committee has selected the Goddess of Liberty as an emblem to head their ticket this fall.

During this time is hoped and expected that all will carefully inspect the garrets, basements, closets and fireplaces to see that everything is clean and orderly, thus not only lessening the fire hazards but also means a 'help In reducing insurance rates.

The following are some pertinent reminders in safety first rules to observe in fire preventon and all other times of the year: A crack in your chimney is a sure sign you are going to move. It is worse luck to look in a dark closet with a match than to see the new moon over your left shoulder. If you have a pile of rubbish in your cellar, it indicates a crowd or people are coming to your house. The season for flipping cigar stubs on the awning downstairs has been closed but the season for storing hot ashes in a wooden box on the back porch will soon open. A child who plays with matches will gain experience.

A quart of gasoline will cause an automobile to move three miles. A similar amount used in household cleaning may cause three auto trucks and an ambulance to run a similar distance. Cooks who do not desire to their breakfasts should refrain starting the fire with kerosene.
