Mr. and Mrs. John Haynie of This City Meet With Accident at Pekin, Illinois, on Last Sunday. The information has been received here of a serious automobile accident on last Sunday at Pekin. 111., and in which Mr. and Mrs. John Haynie of this city and their daughter, Mrs. Vox. were the victims. From word receieved from Pekin. it seems that Mr. and Mrs. Fox were driving in their car and were show ing Mr. and Mrs. Haynie over the city and vicinity, with Mr.. Fox driv ing the automobile and in some way their car ran into a ditch, throwing the occupants out and badly injur ing them. Mrs. Haynie had two rib broken as well as a severe cut on one of the lower limbs while Mr. Haynie had his collar bone broken as well as the shoulder dislocated, and a se vere cut over the right eye. Mrs. Vox. the daughter, was also badly bruised and suffered severe injuries. The three members of the party were taken to the hospital, where they have since been and while their in juries are not thought to be dan gerous thev will require some time to lieal and it is thought that Mr. and Mrs. Hayue will be compelled to remain in the hospital for another week at least. Mr. Fox was not ser iously hurt, although he was bruised severely, but was able to write to the friends here of the accident. ECS ??3g Liggett 3c Myers Toeacco Co.

PREPARING TO ASK FOR DISSOLUTION School Board of Murdcck Consolidated District Visit County Superintend ent to Arrange for Dissolution From Wednesday's Daily. Yesterday afternoon the With high rents and inadequate arroriodations everybody realfzes the need for ht.mes and .strenous efforts have been made to start a hiiilding hoiiiii, but it is slow starting, not withstanding the unquestioned need fur houses. What is the reason? Two mainly, lack of money and hi'sh tests. In tpite of the great increase in cash held 1 y the banks and the reduction of loan, it is Mill difficult to bor row money for any hut the most nec essary pui puses. ISuildini; costs have conic down a ."Treat deal, hut they arc still higher than they were before the war. These two tilings check huildin; operations. There is one kind of building that is not. held up by high costs, and that is building- yourself. This may be the reason why the schools and colleges, are oerfloying when all other building industries have to fight for business. The foundation of all such build ings is. thrift. It is at o:cc the most substantial and least expensive that you can put in. It costs less than granite, brick or concrete. It is one kind of building material that pays for iisclf right from the start. It is in times like these that men and women are most likely to learn this kind of building. Somehow they earn something and somehow they save part of it. The pressure of the ' times admonishes them to take care of their earnings and tliey are in the humor to do that when money is harder to get than in ordinary savings stamp which hids fair to be come the most popular security ever issued. It is convenient to huy and automatically counts itself. For every stamp you have a dollar coming. When you put up money with some stake-holders you never get it again. Witness the con man and bunco artists, hut when I'ncle Sam is the stake-holder you always know where to find him. He will even take care of so small a sum as 23 cents or so large a sum as $1,000. If you have not already begun .saving, start now. Let your thought ripen into action --NOW. Ten thoughts make an action. Ten actions make a habit. Ten habits make a character. DECLINE IN RETAIL PRICES ineuihe: of the consolidate! school district of which Murdock is a part, were callers it the office of County Superintendent Miss Alpha Petersen to arrange the means by which they might procure the disf ..'.'it ion of the district. Since j the ci eat ion of the district the vol-i ers have decided against the issuance of bonds for the construction of a school building and this has made the machinery of the district inoper ative as there is no central school es tablished and accordingly the mem bers of the school board have decided to ask that the district he dissolved. Under the law the districts where there have been no bonds voted may cause the dissolution of the district by securing the petition of twentv five per cent of the voters of the dis trict for the holding of another elec- , tion and on the presentation of this petition the county superintendent will issue the call for the election. The Murdock board had the deci- , fdon of County Attorney A. O. Colo in the matter and will take the steps necessary under the law to give them relief in the matter. j j Washington. May 17.
