THE ADAIR COUNTY NEWS
Kilied Son (o Aid Love.

George Post, a, farmer of Mc
Pherson count, 'Kan., is under
arrest charged with the murder
of his son, a lad 17 years of age,
with the burning of his elegant
home and possibly with the mur
der of his wife within the last
18 months. The authorities are
working on the .tneory that Post
became a murderer to win favor
with a young woman he was
courting and that he killed the
boy when he found that a step
son might be an obstacle in the
way of his marriage.
In January, 1914, Mrs. Post
was killed while sitting at the
Breakfast table. Rumor had it
that she was murdered but Post
insisted that he was cleaning a
gun -that he thought was "not
loaded." The weapon dis
charged and the shot hit Mrs.
Post in the back of the head.
Suspicion became more keen
when it was learned that the in
surance of Mrs. Post's life was
sufficient to pay the mortgage on
the Post farm.
A few months later the Post
home caught on fire. Post and
his son fought hard to save the
structure, but it wa3 destroyed.
With the insurance Post built a
bungaly and purchased another
farm. Then came the death of
his son. The lad had eaten his
supper and was doing the chores
when his father called neighbors
and asked if they had seen his
boy. Later the lad was found
dead in the barn with his head
crushed. He had been struck by
a gas pipe. Bloodhounds caught
the scent which let to Post's
home. Post's father and mother
told conflicting stories. Post is
now in jail at McPherson.
Business Maxims.
Charles Elliott Warren, a
banker of New York, has given
the following rules for the guid
ance of young men:
Go after the highest job in
your own business. Every office
boy ought to resolve to be the
president of the corporation or
the head of his firm.
Go long on self-confidence.
Never be afraid of tackling any
thing. Even if you fail you
learn a lot.
Don't bother about ' influence.
Application and untiring indus
try will fatten your wages faster
than all the "pull" in the world.
Never sit back and wait for
the help of others. The others
are too busy helping themselves
to bother about you.
Remember that you haye got
to be better than the other fel
low to land the top-notch place
for yourself. Two men can't
hold the same job.
H ANNA'S LUSTRO- FINISH works
like magic in renewing, worn stair
treads, soiled window-sills, etc. No
experience is needed. Just get a can
of
Hannas
and set to work. The results will delight you.
It's the unmatched finish for floors, etc. Will
not fade.
