The W. 0. W. will conduct a Labor Day picnic at Stephens Park, Macon, September 7-Monday. There will be visiting camps from Macon and other counties.

Among them will be a crack team from Brookfield, which will contest with the Macon Woodmen's team for a prize. The Macon team is superbly drilled, and will make an excellent showing at this interesting contest. The drills are similar to those of the military, only axes used instead of guns. Nothing is more fascinating than to observe a well-drilled team of Woodmen go through the manual. Brookfield will bring a band and Macon musicians will also take part in the musical entertainment.

On the speaking program there will be some state governors and men high in Woodmen circles. The purpose of the Macon Woodmen is to make this an annual event, and their ambition is to have it so attractive that camps within a radius of 100 miles will attend. The Masons and Odd Fellows have found Macon a good point for concentration, and they hold most of their large meetings here. The Woodmen intend to take advantage of the town's central location to encourage the same sort of meetings by their organization. The Macon camp numbers from 350 to 400 active and enthusiastic and all determined to make the Labor Day picnic the biggest affair that has ever been held in these parts.

Haun. Ed The petition states that plaintiff and defendant were wedded October 11, 1913, and lived together until July 7, 1914. As cause for complaint Bennight says in his paper that "defendant was addicted to long and frequent spells of moroseness; that she would pout and would not speak to the plaintiff for long periods of time; that defendant was extravagant; that detendant told him she abhorred the idea of living with him, and did not intend to live with hm any longer." This is one side of the story. It may be a cross-bill will be put in by the wife. Before she was married, Mrs.

Bennight worked in the printing offices and other business places at Macon and was a very courteous young woman. GERMANY'S GRAND ARMY. It Can Lose a Million Men to Win, Officers Says, and Is Prepared to Pay the Price. LONDON, Aug dispatch to the Central News from Brussels says a daring newspaperman has returned to that city after a trip along the frontier between the armies, during which he actually spent several days within the German lines. He says: "I do not believe the published stomost unbelievable numbers of men and quantities of artillery, horses and supplies along the entire line from Luxemburg to the northern limits of Belgian territory.

"I do not believe the published staries of atrocities by Germans, as all Germans I met seemed not to be the sort of men likely to be guilty of such deeds, although I did not see them under the nervous tension of actual fighting. "Most of the German officers are well satisfied with the progress of the fighting thus far. One officer said: "'We took Liege in a week when we thought it would take three months. We are now in the heart of Belgium within a few thousand yards of its capital. We will take to Strassburg many guns captured with the greatest ease from the vaunted artillery of France.

The perfectly welded mass of the people of the German empire is bound to overcome the badly united troops of the The newspaper man continued: "The German government has no quarrel with the United States. It is doing all in its pwer to impress the officials with the necessity of extending courtesy and facilities to those Americans who are endeavoring to get out of the country." Couldn't Stump Barney.

Ben Greet Players Had the American Banner Lowered from Platform at Palmyra. The Ben Greet Players gave us a most finished production of the Comedy of Errors. As an aggregate they are artists, but individually they seem to be pestiferous cranks.

Two American flags drape the Chautauqua platform, but those flags had to come down before they would play. They refuse also to play on Sunday and at the hotels at which they stop they make themselves generally disagree-Marion County Herald. When the report came to this paper from Lancaster that the American flag had been hauled down from the platform before the Ben Greet players performed most people attached 1 no significance to it, as they thought it was surely a mistake, or a misconception of some kind. Nevertheless when the company showed here it was noted that two American flags were conspicuous over the platform, and that they were not molested. It they had been something would sure have happened to the parties who touched them.

There were some 15 or 20 people on the chautauqua grounds, and they were watching matters with keen eyes. The report that the flag had been taken down at Kirksville last year convinced the Lancaster people that a similar thing had happened at their own chautauqua, and next day the people were so aroused that under determined leadership they would have instituted some sort of proceeding. The method suggested was to bring the players back to Lancaster and make them salute the flag. If the Ben Greet players object to performing in the presence of the flag, the sooner they get out of this country the better. WILL TAKE VACATION TRIP.

Many Communities Have Thus Organized and Found the Method Sa.isfactory. Saturday's issue of this paper contained a brief reference to a paper addressed to the Macon County Court, asking that the special road district measure be resubmitted to the voters of Hudson special road district. There were 50 names signed. The road work of the township has been done under the direction of the Hudson Township Road Commission. J.

A. Hudson, while publisher of the Macon Times, was very much intrested in securing a systematic and effective method for working roads. He devised the Hudson Road Law, which has been approved by practical road men in Missouri and other states, and has been endorsed by road journals. Mr. Hudson was in Macon Monday, and in discussing the special district road law, he said: "There are something between 140 and 175 of those districts organized in the state.

This was the first district organized in the state. Joplin was second and Jasper county now has about seven districts and through those districts they have hard surfaced over 400 miles of road. Lafayette county has seven or eight districts. The Lexington district issued $125,000 in bonds and has hard surfaced roads around Lexington. Boone county has three or four districts.

The Columbia district has issued $100,000 in bonds and has graded the roads and all the main highways are either hard surfaced or are being hard surfaced now. "Mr. Curtis Hill, until recently state highway engineer, states that ninety per cent of the real road work of the state outside of Marion, Jackson and St. Louis county, where they have large revenues from saloon licenses, have been done through district organizations. As a matter of fact the district law is the only road law in the state that affords anything like a system for making and maintaining roads.

Under the old system statistics show that more than half of the revenue goes to road overseers, so that going from the district system back to the old overseer system simply means that a community is going from an organization to chaos."

Progressives Have Picked Tom Sublette of the Kirksville Graphic to Lead Fight.

From the Kirksville Express. Thomas E. Sublette, editor of Kirksville Weekly Graphic, was last night drafted by the Progressives their candidate for congress from the First District, to make the race against Representative James Lloyd of Shelbyville and Dr. Ed Brown of Edina, who was named yesterday by the Republicans. The Progressive meeting last night made three district meetings held Kirksville yesterday.

The proceedings of the Republican meeting were published yesterday and those of the Democratic committee accurately forecasted as regards the selection P. J. Rieger of Kirksville and W. Saxbury of Queen City as members of the Democratic State committee. An interesting fact, possibly, connection with the selection of the two local men is that it is understood that both are for McClung for chairman of the State Committee.

The Democratic congressional committee was organized by the election of John Brann Scotland county, as chairman, R. B. Caldwell, Lewis county, secretary, and Chas. Shumate, Knox county, treasurer. P.

Rieger was made chairman of one of the senatorial committees and R. B. Caldwell the other represented here, John Brann of Memphis, was named as chairman of the judicial committee of the 37th district, the only district in which there is an election. The Progressives held their meeting in the Pool Hotel. The counties of Schuyler, Knox and Shelby were not represented.

The committee for the next two years was organized with N. L. White, Kirksville, chairman; John M. England, Callao, secretary; and Charles Sherwood, Kahoka, treasurer. The state committeemen are Waldo F.

Smith, Macon, and Frank Middleton, Unionville. Mr. Sublette was not present at the meeting and announcement of the nomination was not made until today, after the candidate had accepted. FISHING PARTY. A fishing party was held in Mose King's pasture on Tuesday of last week in honor of Mr.

Jot Walker, Gida, Hazel and Anna Huntsman, Doc McGee and Mrs. Mose King. Every one took their lunch with them. At six o'clock in the afternoon a fire was made down by the river and supper was cooked in camp style, which was a treat to those from the city. All present had a splendid time.

TOM WARDELL, HURT. While playing with other children in a large barn at the home of Thomas E. Wardell this morning, Thomas the small 800 of Charles Wardell, accidently fell through a hay chute. A bad cut on the head, necessitating several stitches, with sprains and bruises in plenty, though borne with characteristic fortitude, seem quite enough to make quite an invalid of most boys. However no bones were broken and it is hoped Tom will soon be himself again.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constituremedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Steam Plows for Java, Another step is to be taken toward the solution of the question of steam plowing in Java, according to the Java Bode. This is due to the initiative of the Netherlands Trading company, which has OIl its own account secured an engineer from one of the largest plow factories in Europe, with a view to his studying the conditions in Java, and has also put a steam plow to work one of its estates. Further, "De Volharding" manufactory of Surabaya has asked the sugar syndicate in Java to grant a subsidy of 88,040 for an experiment with a trench digging machine to be made by them specially for use in the island.

MOBERLY, Aug. was visited with the most terrific wnd, rain and hail storm at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon within the history of the city.

The storm was of short duration, but considerable age was done. The chautauqua tent was blown down and the seats scattered over the grounds. Following the electric and wind storm was a welcome downpour of rain. Travelers who were in Moberly Wednesday afternoon say plate glass windows were blown in at several places and some houses unroofed. The wind continued steadily for a long while, accompanied by great sheets of rain.

Macon was watching those same clouds Wednesday afternoon, and many predicted a heavy storm was headed this way, but all we got was a bit of a sprinkle, hardly enough to damage a new straw hat.

Seeing nothing else handy, he used his wife's scissors, which lay on the sewing table. A few minutes later the wife wanted the scissors, but a diligent search failed to reveal them.

The next day the professor appeared before his class and opened his book. There lay the lost scissors. He picked them up and, holding them above his head, shouted: "Here they are, dear!"

Danger of Throwing Down Matches or Cigarettes--Things Burn Like Tinder. Several alarms of fire have been turned in the past 24 hours and this calls to mind the exceeding care that should be exercised just now to prevent fires. It is better to be careful before the fire starts than to work your head off to save your property after the fire gets hold. With everything as dry as tinder, and a high wind blowing, the careless throwing of a cigarette or match may destroy more property than you can make in a lifetime. Children especially should be enjoined against using matches in the yards, where the grass is so dry it is highly inflammable.

Live ashes should not be thrown out in the alleys. A glowing cinder might be blown against a fence and a disastrous conflagration result. If you are careful yourself see to it that your neighbors are also careful. There are innumerable ways where a bad fire might be started in a time like this. And, besides, the water supply is ited.

The fire department and the utility superintendent are doing everything they possibly can to be ready for any emergency. beboove the citizens to also do their share in maintaining every safegaurd to prevent property loss. If you see old trash or in inflammable material piled up against building report it and the party at fault will be required to remove the danger. The time to for a fire is right DOW.
