3. GASCONADE COUNTY REPUBLICAN, OWENSVILLE, MISSOURI Thursday, July 18, 1940. ROUND ABOUT Elmer Meyer, well-known mechanic and thresherman, suffered an injury Wednesday which could easily have proved fatal had he been a short man. After finishing threshing at the County Farm, the thresher attached to the tractor, driven by Mr. Meyer, started down the private road, which slopes strongly, toward the county road.

Suddenly the pin connecting the tongue of the thresher to the tractor, jumped out, the thresher then moving forward fast and against the tractor. The brace of the feeder of the thresher struck the fleshy part of Mr. Meyer's leg near the crotch, and pinned him against the steering of the tractor. He suffered a long and deep open wound, that required several surgical A-C. Mrs.

Louise Hoemann, the wife of John Hoemann, passed away at the home of her son, Hugo, July 1. Those who remain to mourn are her husband, her sons, John Martin and Adolph of New Haven, Edwin of Union, Hugo of Port Hudson, and Rev. Albert Hoemann of Canton, Kansas; her daughters, Mrs. Louis F. Meyer of New Haven, Mrs.

E. H. Breckenkamp of Washington, Mrs. Theodore Alhage of New Haven, Mrs. David Pelster of Gerald, and Mrs.

Henry Linstromberg of Beaufort; her brothers, Wm. and Fred Bebermeier of Casco, her sisters, Mrs. Louis Scheer of New Haven, Mrs. Martin Gerlemann of Detmold and Mrs. Conrad Richtemeler of New Haven.Franklin Co.

The suit brought by the Missouri Electric Power against Forrest Smith, State Auditor, to prevent the City of Sullivan from registering their Municipal Light Plant bonds for sale, was dismissed for lack of evidence by Judge Blair last Saturday at the Circuit Court in California. In announcing that the Power Company had failed to present any genuine evidence as to why the bonds should not be registered, the Judge set July 20 for a preliminary hearing to decide whether the Power Company would be allowed a new trial. The Missouri Electric Power by its injunction suits, has kept the City of Sullivan in court for almost nine years, and has thereby prevented the sale of the bonds, and the erection of a municipal light Democrat. Lewis Marion Beckham, one of the oldest citizens of this community, passed away at his home on June 30th. He was born in Maries County, November 5, 1857.

He was united in marriage to Miss Jannie Scantlin in 1885. This union was blessed with four girls, two preceding him in death. Those living are Nola E. Blackwell of Red Bird, and Myrtle Kinsey of High Gate. He was united in marriage to Mrs.

Elizabeth A. Glenn March 7, 1907, who survives. Funeral services were held Tuesday at Oak James Journal. John Seitz passed away at the Rolla Hospital Sunday at the age of 63 years. He was a son of the late Mr.

and Mrs. Julius Seitz, and was born at Oak -Cuba News. A large doe, evidently defending her young, deliberately attacked two Sullivan men and their dog Monday morning and forced them to take refuge in a tree. Even the dog tried to climb a tree to safety. The bewildered men were Robt.

Doyle and Roy Aden, who had gone to the Amos Reed farm south of town looking for blackberries. Their dog came yelping back to them, chased by a large doe. The doe was alternately trying to paw the dog with its fore feet and biting at the same time. Both Doyle and Aden took to a nearby tree but not before Mrs. Doe took a nip at.

the seat of Aden's News. Ben Gosen, tavern keeper at Rhineland for many years, died in the hospital in Jefferson City last Monday after a short illness, aged 54 years. Deceased was a native of Rhineland. For a number of years he engaged in the mercantile business with the late Emil Heying. He leaves his wife, his children, Mrs.

Ewald Scholten and Mrs. John Scholten and two sons; also two brothers, George of Rhineland and Theodore of St. -Hermann A-C. Probably the only person alive in Washington who saw Abraham Lincoln and fed Jesse James is Mrs. Josephine Henkhaus, who celebrated her ninety-eighth birthday last Thursday at the home of her son, Fred Kampschroeder.

She comes from stock that lived long. Her mother, Mrs. John Silvers, lived to be 101 years old. Mr. Silvers lived to be almost Washington Missourian.

Mrs. Henkhaus is the grandmother of Mrs. Robert Gross of Bland. FALZONE DECRIES PENSION ABUSES Joseph A. Falzone, Republican candidate for State Senator, recently addressed a large gathering of Republican workers, and among other things stated: "Missouri is receiving approximately million dollars a month from the sales tax.

This tax originally was and was enacted as an emergency measure to furnish necessary money for relief. Subsequently it was raised to and finally to It was increased to under the representation and promise that the revenue thereby derived would be used for the purpose of giving the sum of $30.00 per month to every needy aged person in Missouri. Thereupon the Legislature enacted a SO called Old Age Assistance Act that has proved to be a farce and a cruel hoax on the old people. Despite the fact that Missouri is receiving this vast sum from the sales tax, very little good is being done. A great portion of that revenue is being used to maintain a large payroll cluttered with political parasites consisting of relatives, close friends, and political followers of certain state office holders.

"I promise and pledge to the people," Mr. Falzone said in that address, "if I am elected to the State Senate, I will immediately demand and insist upon an investigation to determine exactly where the million dollars is going each month, and to introduce and insist upon its passage a new old age assistance law that will follow its title and be an assistance and pension to each and every needy aged person in Missouri of an quate pension. They cannot possibly exist on the $8.00 or $12.00 per month that is being paid to a great minority of old folks. There is great suffering in Missouri today among the aged because of their inability to get a pension, and 1 it is high time that the public take an interest in these people and support me in my candidacy for the State Senate in order that I can accomplish something for them. I will not stop my fight for an investigation of the abuses of the sales tax revenue and the correction of the old age assistance law until I am satisfied that the old people are getting a square deal and that the tax payers' money is being honestly and equitably distributed." Mr.

Falzone is asking for assistance, and requests that anyone who is able and willing to work for him communicate with him at his office at 14 South Central Avenue, Clayton, Missouri. Mr. Falzone's political announcement appears in the Republican Announcement column beginning with this issue.

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear husband, and our father and grandfather, Monroe Fleet wood, who passed away July 17th, 1937. Three long years have passed, Since that sad and mournful day, When God alone who knowest best, Called him to that home of rest. No matter how heavy our burden, No matter how deep our despair, To us Heaven is nearer and dearer, Now, since our dear father is there. Sadly missed by Wife, Children, and Grandchildren.

CARDS TO CLOSE LONGEST HOMESTAND SUNDAY, JULY 21 As a fitting close to their longest homestand of the season, Billy Southworth's Cardinals play five games in three days beginning tomorrow (Friday) with a doubleheader against Philadelphia and winding up Sunday (July 21) with a twin-bill against the Brooklyn Dodgers. In addition to the Sunday doubleheader, the Dodgers and the Cardinals play single Ladies' Day contest Saturday (July 20.) This will be the first appearance of the Dodgers at Sportsman's Park since the trade that sent Joe Medwick to Brooklyn in exchange for Ernie Koy and Carl Doyle, now with the Cardinals. Koy, placed in left field by Manager Southworth, immediately began hitting the ball hard and often for the Red Birds.

Another note of encouragement for Red Bird fans has been the improvement of Enos Slaughter at the plate during the home stay. Slaughter hit three homers in two days during one stretch and generally gave the impression that he had returned to the form that made him one of the most dangerous batters in the league last season. Leo Durocher's Dodgers have been remaining at or near the top of the league during recent weeks despite opinion of expert baseball observers that. it just couldn't happen. Down in both fielding and batting as compared to the other teams in the league, an indomitable team spirit has stood the Flatbushers in good stead when their power and defense has faltered.

Effective pitching from at least a half-dozen hurlers has been an important factor in the Dodgers' good showing. Fitzsimmons, Tamulis, Carleton, Pressnell, Hamlin, and Wyatt have all done their part in helping to make this a great year for Brooklyn. The doubleheaders with Philadelphia tomorrow (Friday) and Brooklyn Sunday (July 21) start at 1:30. The Ladies' Day attraction Saturday between the Cards and the Dodgers gets under way at 2:30. WILL DISCUSS PASTURES The production and utilization of both permanent and supplementary pastures will be the principal topic for the summer soils and crops meeting to be held at the Hugo Heemeier farm at 9:45 a.

m. August 1, and at the Henry Meyer farm at 1:45 p. m. the same day. Since more acres in Gasconade County are devoted to pastures than any other crops and since they furnish the cheapest livestock feed and conserve soil better than cultivated crops, the committee in charge of arranging for the meetings feels that it is a timely topic.

Farmers attending the meetings have an opportunity to see how simple, low cost methods of handling the crops now grown on most Gasconade County farms will produce a maximum amount of pasture throughout the year. Some pasture grasses and legumes are best adapted to certain soil conditions and meet livestock needs for certain parts of the year while others are adapted to other soil conditions and livestock needs the other parts of the year. The pasture systems that will best fit Gasconade County conditions to provide good all year pasture may bee seen on these farms as well as discussed by farmers and A. W. Klemme, Extension Specialist in Soils.
