P. Meadows which was stolen from in front of the home here of Dr. C. W. Burgess, the night of August 18, was located August 21 at St.

Joseph, where it had been abandoned. This car was the one used by some of the bandits who robbed a Redding, Iowa, bank the night of August 13, to escape from Bethany after their own car became disabled near the John Green home when they returned after hidden loot the night of August 18. Mr. Meadows telephoned to St. Joseph Monday after the robbery, and reported his loss to police there, but the man to whom the message was given evidently failed to book the loss.

Mr. Meadows decided Tuesday that it might be some advantage in the search were he to go to St. Joseph, and he arrived there that day. Inquiries at the police station showed that a Ford car had been left Sunday on a street near the depot, and was taken charge of by police after the car remained there all Sunday night. Comparison of engine numbers proved Mr.

Meadows' ownership. Mr. Meadows says the car was not damaged in any way, and that there was plenty of gas and oil in it. Two slabs of bacon he had purchased at Bethany the day on which it disappeared, were gone. STONE'S SHEEP WON 19 STATE PRIZES.

John A. Stone Sons, Harrison counbreeders of Shropshire sheep, were awarded 19 prizes on their animals at the Missouri State Fair at week. Among these prizes Sedatiends the champion Missouri-bred ewe. The full list of Stone Sons winnings are not available at this time. The Stone herd is one of the best known in this section, and is shown each year at the State Fair and at the North Missouri District Fair.

It is always awarded a share of the ribbons. Included in the Stone herd is Broughton's 2357, which was a first prize winner at Chicago International Livestock Show. The herd will be shown here next week, in competition with many other of the best known ones of Missouri and Iowa. BOOSTS STATE ROAD NO. 4.

The present condition of State Road No. 4, between. Bethany and Princeton, running Moriah, is better than any other road he has driven over this summer, a Winchester Company traveling man said here a few days ago, when calling on his local dealer. He boosted it and then kept right on boosting. The salesman explained that he drove a heavy roadster, and that there were few roads he could keep his car going on at 30 miles an hour, because the tendency so often was to make a "hogback" road, upon which his car would constantly slide to one side if he attempted to make good time.

The Princeroad was different, he and while it appeared to drain well, was not too rounded. MAYSVILLE SHERIFF MARRIED HERE. Frank Smith, sheriff of DeKalb county, and Minnie Ellis, who is deputy circuit clerk in DeKalb county, came to Bethany Wednesday and procured a marriage license, being wed shortly afterward by Rev. H. G.

Blomfield, in the probate judge's office. We understand that it was intended to keep this marriage secret, but it is likely to work out the other way, for Bethany newspapers exchange with Maysville papers. Bethany couples have made the same mistake in days gone by. LOST. In Bethany, August 23, a man's ring, initial in black stone setting.

NOLL BROTHERS CO. BIG FAIR OPENS TUESDAY. Public Pulse Quickens as Annual Event Draws at Fair duproxements The opening here next Tuesday of the North Missouri District Fair has brought a quickened pulse to the people of Bethany, and over a large surrounding territory, for the big annual event grows more popular each year, and interest in it widens. Although entries in the various departments do not close until the first day of the fair, already they are beginning to come in, and fair officials say all previous records will be broken. Orders have been issued for the erection of tents, in which to show some of the stock exhibits.

for which there will not be room in the big show barns. The report of the State Department of Agriculture, which this summer ranked the North Missouri District Fair next to the State Fair, is not without substantial foundation. Members of the board of directors call attention to the fact that fair patrons this year will more than receive their money's worth in amusements alone. The general admission price cents allows everyone to witness various entertainments, any which is worth more than the price of admission. Al Sweet's Singing Hussar Band has played some of the larger chautauquas, and has been the main attraction at many of America's largest amusement parks, where the admission was more than here.

Yet at the local fair this famous band is only one part, although an important one, of each day's program. The Flying Circus is another attraction which alone is worth more than the small admission price. In addition there are a number of lesser free attractions, and witnessing the horse automobile races, and the stock and other exhibits, has no added cost. The live stock show this year is confidently expected to exceed that of last year, both in number and in quality. Last year more than 300 head of hogs were shown; there were 85 head of horses, mules and colts; 40 head of beef cattle; more than 600 head of poultry, than 100 sheep, and about 60 dairy cattle.

This year it is expected that the hog show will be about equal to. or perhaps a little in excess of, that of last year. The sheep show will be more than doubled, it is believed by Sam Aerny, superintendent that department, who believes the 64 pens in the big barn will be filled. The dairy show is tain to far exceed that of last year. More of the fine purebred Jerseys this county will be in the show ring, all Holstein men who were there last year are coming again, and the J.

0. Ellis herd of Guernseys are to be shown. Added these will be the showing of the Harrison, County Dairy Calf Club. The should number more than 100 animals. Eight hundred birds is not an excessive estimate of the poultry show this year.

Breeders will not be afraid to bring their best, with 8 substantial building for them to be kept in, and interest in poultry raising is steadily increasing in this section, more breeders turning to purebreds. Among some of the better known live stock breeders of this section who will show here are: Hogs: W. D. Halstead, Van Wert, Iowa, Poland-Chinas; J. T.

Thomas, Van Wert, Iowa, Chester Whites; Chester E. Cooper, Stanberry, Chester Whites; J. L. Fronk Son, Worth, Spotted M. P.

Hall. Stanberry: Charles Kerns, Gilman, and F. P. Robinson Maryville. entire car of show hogs will be brought here from Maryville.

Dairy cattle breeders who will show here this year for the first time include Mr. Ellis, of Coffey, and Ray Thompson, of Blythedale. Sheep breeders who will show include Teatsworth Bedford, Iowa; E. B. Wilson, Stanberry, Chandler Son, Kellerton, Iowa; Chas.

F. Clark, Savannah, John A. Stone, Bethany; Alex Albright, Dundee, Texas; and H. E. Carter; Mercer, Mo.

The livestock breeders mentioned here have already made their entries, and many others from a distance will make entries before next Monday. With fair weather and good roads, the attendance record of 35,000 persons for one day, is expected to be broken. The fair this year will likely receive better news publicity than it has ever before. At least one city daily is expecting to have a photographer here; and the event will be reported for other daily newspapers in Missouri and Iowa. ADAMS IS SECOND HIGHEST PITCHER.

"Babe" Adams. of Bethany, is now the second highest pitcher in the National league, in percentage of games won and lost. His standing is exceeded only by that of Laque, of the Cincinnati Reds, the pitching sensation of the two major leagues this year. Adams has now we won 13. games and lost 4, giving him a percentage of .765.

His last win was Sunday, when he let the Boston club down with eight scattered hits. Thus far, the season of 1923 is the most successful one the famous veteran. has ever had in the major league; and he is making this record at an age when most baseball players have retired from the "big top." His friends here watch anxiously for the report of games in which it is his turn to pitch. GOOD FURNITURE FOR SALE.

BILL ALLEN HURT IN CAR SPILL Bill Allen, local blacksmith. received what were first thought to be serious o'clock, was thrown from a injuries Sunday, afternoon about three Ford car which turned over miles southwest of Bethany, on Jefferson Highway. He was taken to Bethany thee Sanatorium. The injured man and Jack Hughes riding in a Ford touring car, which Hughes was driving. at the time of the accident.

A large touring car, driven by a tourist, had passed them and the Hughes car was following closely behind, when the leading car came to the corner west of the W. W. Myers farm, where the road forks, each division leading to Bethany. One of thees roads is closed, as Rand Company only finished paving it a few days before. and a detour sign is standing there.

The tourist apparently saw this detour sign late and, wondering which road he was to take, slowed his car suddenly. The car following was too close to avoid a collision, and when. Hughes turned its course to pass leading automobile, one side of the Ford missed the end of a small culvert, hidden by weeds. and turned over. Hughes was unhurt.

Allen was picked up while apparently in a dying condition, his pulse being very weak. At that time he was bleeding from his right ear, his mouth and from his nose. Bonser's ambulance was called and the injured man was, rushed at once to the Sanatorium. examination made Monday did not show any injuries that were thought would prove fatal. He had a rather bad gash over and behind his left ear, and had difficulty breathing that day because of pains in his left lung.

It is believed he will recover. J. H. NORTH WILL BE OPEN DURING FAIR. The Jefferson Highway leading north from Bethany will be passable during the week of the North Missouri District Fair, and motorists, from the north may follow it the way to Bethangina road was blocked a day or two last week, after Rand Company had moved their paving equipment to 8 spot near the Frisby hill.

The entrance from the north, several miles away from this spot, was not closed, and a number of travelers found themselves trapped in a blind road, as they attempted to come on to Bethany. They were compelled to go back and come around by Ridgeway, or go west and come in on the Bethany-Martinsville road. either way an extra drive of several miles. Directors of the fair busied themselves at once when it became known that a great inconvenience was being thrust upon motorists, and after looking over the situation and studying it for two days, a temporary road has been made which guides cars around paving crew. Sixity reds of fence went out Saturday morning to bound the temporary road.

STACY FOUND GUILTY, Fred Stacy of Kansas one of the captured Redding bank bandits, was tried last Friday and Saturday at Mt. Ayr. county seat of the county in which Redding is located, and was found guilty. His sentence has not been assessed, but it is reported here that it will be 40 years in the penitentiary. This said to be based upon good authority.

The sentence will be named by the trial judge, instead of by the jury, as is Missouri practice. Stacy was not represented by I. B. Kimbrell of Kansas City, by an attorney appointed by the court. Fuller, the other man captured near here, has not yet been tried.

LESS SCHOOL MONEY THIS YEAR. There will be less state school money divided this year in Harrison county there was in 1922. Last year this amount, based on days' attendance, was $19,731.44, and this year it will be only $11,382.01. This difference is due to the reduction in state tax which was voted last year. At the time the matter came before him, Governor Hyde made the announcement that its meaning was the reduction of money which would go to the schools, but as the Democratic legislature had passed it, he should not veto.

The reduction, it will be noted, is almost 50 per cent. 554 IN SCHOOL. The total opening day enrollment in grade and high school here was 554. Of this 295 are in junior and senior high school, there being 259 in the grades. The enrollment by classes in high school: Grade seven, 64; grade eight, 43; freshman, 68; sophomore, 37; junior, 44; senior, 39.

Wheeler, 47; grade two, Miss Hefner, 43; grade three, Miss Leazenby, 54; grade four, Miss Copeland, 48; grade five, Miss, Tucker, 30; grade six, Miss Hudson, MOVING TO COLORADO. Karl Roleke and wife expect to move soon from Bethany to Denver, and are advertising their household goods for sale. Mrs. Roleke has not been strong since an operation performed several months ago, and this is the reason for change.

She expects to leave after the North Missouri District Fair, to gO 'to Denver. Karl will go after he has disposed of his plumbing shop here. Bethany friends are mighty sorry to see them leave. and hope it will not long before they figure they can come back. PROBATE COURT EACH MONDAY.

Flint-Belden Motor Co. One Block South of Square BETHANY, MO. NORTH MISSOURI DISTRICT FAIR BIG BETH DAYS! A 5 BIG NIGHTS! MO. SEPT.4, 5, 6, 7,8, 1923 NEARLY 1,000 AT DAIRY PICNIC. Increased Attendance Proves Interest in Industry Growing in County.

There was an estimated attendance of 1,000 persons at the annual dairy pienic, held at the North Missouri District Fair grounds here Wednesday, under the auspices of the Harrison county Dairy Association and the County Farm Bureau. This was the largest attendance ever recorded at this event. Two well known speakers were on the program. These were J. H.

Frandsen. editor and dairy counselor for the Capper farm publications, and S. D. Gromer, head of the Department of Rural Economies at the University of Missouri. Dr.

Eagle, United States Veterinarian now working in Harrison county, also description of his plans for eradification of bovine tuberculosis in Harrison county herds of cattle. Mr. Frandsen is a nationally known expert in dairying and his work has taken to places of observation that have given him much valuable information which he recounts in an interesting manner. He started his address by complimenting the Harrison County Dairy Association, which has made for its product an enviable market through, maintaining high quality. Saying that Missouri had better natural advantages for dairying than has Wisconsin, Mr.

Frandsen said he believed Harrison county, AS the home of the Harrision County Dairy Association, could well be termed the "main entrance" to Missouri dairying. This statesment brought cheers. Feeding for production, and production transmitted through dams, instead of sires, was stressed Frandsen. This was a departure from talks given here before by other dairy experts, who emphasized the importance of the use of good sires. Mr.

Frandsen spoke of good cows which had never had the chance to show their quality, because of not being properly balanced ration. He asked that the cow be given a chance before she was culled out as not being a good producer. A general rule to follow, he said, was to plan a ration high in the same elements that milk is high in. lowing such a plan, he said, the man was not likely to be far from right. The statement often heard that dairying is likely to be overdone was attacked by Mr.

Frandsen, who used statistics to prove his arguments. The average per capita consumption of milk in the United States is now but pint each day; which is surely not high. Prohibition has made an increased market for dairy products, according to the speaker, who said more than one million cows were now needed to supply the soda fountains and ice cream parlors, which are doing much more business since prohibition. He said he had heard since he was a boy, that dairying would soon be overdone, but he had not yet witnessed that. Butter consumption per capita in the United States each day, he said was only a slice about the size of a postage stamp, and twice as thick.

The danger to American dairymen, according to Dr. Frandsen, was in not keeping up the quality of cows. The Danish dairyman, through maintaining high production cows and a high quality of butter, is now able to compete in American markets with Danish butter, after having shipped all his concentrated food from here to Denmark, to feed his cows. Mr. Gromer, speaking for a large part to acquaintances, gave a rather informal address, but one which contained plenty of good sense.

Farm prices, he maintained, were not so bad, and could be a great lot worse; but it was railroad rates and prices of manufactured products which were injuring the farmer. He recited current prices for hogs, cattle, corn, wheat, oats, hay and other farm products. Magnus Johnson's determination to have a law passed giving every wheat grower $1.75 a bushel for his wheat came in for frequent derision by Mr. Gromer, who suggested that if Johnson solved the wheat, problem in that way, he would like him come down here and break another natural law by making Big creek behave, flood time or any other time. The economic law must be followed at all times, he asserted.

The cause of agricultural prices not being high he attributed to the rapid recovery of agriculture following the war: this having gained sooner than manufacturing. With almost full agricultural production, manufacturing centers of Europe are not yet producing normally, and the purchasing power of their dependents is weakened. Mr. Gromer said he intended, personally, to go 011 raising wheat on his farm near Bridgeport; using that crop as one rotation with legume crops. In this way, he said, the wheat crop could not profitably be' forsaken.

FINED $25; APPEALS. Mrs. Cora Custer fined $25 here in city court last Thursday, on a charge of having failed to properly clean up premises for which she as agent. She appealed to circuit court. The properties were once in Mrs.

Custer's name, but she now denies ownership. A warrant for her arrest was issued after persons living near complain that they were compelled to close windows and doors to their residences because of the stench: and after city authorities had waited for several days for conditions to be corrected. DRAG YOUR ROADS BEFORE FAIR. Now is the time when persons residclose to Bethany should drag the roads leading by their places, in preparation for the heavy travel that will come during the North Missouri District Fair. Due to frequent rains of two weeks ago, many persons stopped dragging their roads, because no sooner were they dragged than another rain came.

As a result, after, some fair weather, many of the leading into Bethany are rough and badly in need of dragging. PUBLIC AUCTION. Saturday, September 1st. at the southeast corner of the square. This is everybody's sale.

Wilson Company, local contractors who now engaged in paving on Miller street and South 15th street, having just completed pavment on 17th and 18th streets, were the lowest bidders. Their bid was four cents a yard higher than their present contract is for, or $2.59 yard. A Kansas City Arm bid $2.75 a yard. The contractors whose bids were most considered Monday night would not guarantee to do the 20th street paving this fall, which is another reason why the job will be readvertised. The council does not wish to grade the street and leave it in a bad condition throughout the winter.

Of course the snow did not stay on the ground, but melted as fast as it fell.

DR. CAROTHERS DEAD. Dr. Samuel Carothers of Cameron, Methodist minister who formerly held the pastorate at Bethany, and was well known over north Missouri, died at his home last Tuesday afternoon, following a second stroke of paralysis. Funeral services were held at Cameron Thursday.

Dr. Carothers had lived at Cameron for a number of years. Two weeks before his death he was stricken with paralysis, and a second stroke followed on the next day. He is survived by his wife, one daughter and two sons. SLAUGHTER BABY WINS PRIZE.

PATRICK. RAY TILLEY. tile ATTENTION LADIES. you go to the baby fair why not at home with Phone 537. a capable nurse AT The new photoplay house on the north side of the square it to be known as the Cozy Theatre, the name submitted by Miss Marguerite VanHoozer of Bethany, in a contest which has been open for three weeks.

Miss VanHoozer won 50 tickets to the show as first prize. 0ther prize winning names submitted were "Community," by Floyd A. Coleman, second prize; "Amusu," by Ethel Bryant, third prize; and "Rose," by Mrs. Lewis Pritchard. fourth prize.

The three last named will also be given tickets in various numbers. The contest caused much interest, 211 names being the total number submitted. A number of these duplicated, but left 136 different names from which Mr. Maple chose the names of the new picture house. "Mapleleaf" was the name most often submitted, with "Maple" second.

If this was an attempt to trick the vanity of the owner of the new house it failed. Doubtless most of the persons who submitted these names did not intend it but sent them in because of their easy, "Palace" was suggestiveness. the name next often submitted. Other favorites were "Crystal," "Royal," "Electric," "Colonial." Princess," and "Orpheum." Unusual names included "Faun," "Oliver," "Eastern," "Pack," "Western," "KingFisher," "Bethany Paradise." "Bird's Eye," "Olive" and "Matron." Local pride undoubtedly caused the submission of the names of "Bethany," which was chosen by two persons, and "Bethanian." Patriotism was not forgotten with "Coolidge," "Harding" and "Roosevelt," although the Republicans alone were active in that manner. Full particulars regarding the opening of the new house will be given next week.

FAIR TICKET SALE IS LARGE. The advance sale of season tickets for the North Missouri District Fair is believed to be the largest in the history of that event, by W. C. Cole. treasurer of the fair.

Mr. Cole had not finished checking yesterday on the advance sales, but choosing the reports of twelve firms which have had the tickets on sale. he pointed out that ten of these show increases. local bank sold close worth of tickets before the bargain price went out of effect. Although the expense this year will be exceedingly heavy, directors of the fair association believe the fair will more than pay its own way this year, provided good weather is the rule next week.

PRELIMINARY SCHEDULLED TODAY. The preliminary hearing for Wm. Rob- inson, who is charged with assaulting a sister, is scheduled to be held here this morning at 10 o'clock, before Justice Sigler.
