THEY MAKE GOOD

lluD. Inc banquet WAS u success
in every respect. The attendance
was large, many prominent men be-
ing present from over the state. The
menu was an elaborate II and was
faultlessly prepared and served, The
visitors were shown over the city in
automobiles and received most hos
pitable treatment. To sum the
whole thing up in a nutshell: Noun
tain Grove made good.
Mountain Grove has many things
of which the city and county may
well be proud.
The fruit experiment station and
the poultry experiment station ut
Mountain Grove are each doing a
work, the magnitude of which it is
hard to grasp. The future alone
will reveal the good that these insti.
tutions are accomplishing.
Bulletins from the poultry station
appear monthly in the Mansfield
Mirror. The first of these, Feeding
the Baby Chicks" appeared last
week. If you failed to read that
article, hunt up last weeks paper
and read it now. The poultry indus
try is one of our largest and most
profitable and deserves careful cor
sideration.
Fruit-raising is another industry
in which the Ozarks lead, and no
county in this or any other state
surpasses Wright in this line.
While in the city we paid a visit
to the Mountain Grove Creamery
and were shown through the plant
by the accommodating president of
the company. H.W. Jensen. We did
not realize that there was within
the borders of Wright county an in
stitution carrying on an industry 50
far-reaching in its scope. The ice,
ice cream and butter from the plant
reach in value a vast amount. The
money this company pays annually
to the farmers of Wright county is
no inconsiderable sum. The dairy
business is another of the principa
industries of the county, and it is
on the boom now. With such es
adjustments a. the one at Mountain
Grove, how could it be otherwise

Right here we want to say a goo,
word for Sol f. Bronson of Ozark
state senator from the 10Th district
one of the few Republican member
of the last Legislature. In his elo
quent speech at the banquet he hat
a good word to say for Mansfield
and the Young Mems Business Gu
of which DR.. Riley is president. Mr.
Bronson is the author of the GOO
roads bill which Coy. Z. w. Majo
declared, upon signing it, to be tn
best ever. We note the followin.
concerning this bill in the Wrigh
County Republican: The bill
places the i%nter.county highway
roads connecting county seat town
under the sole management OF tn
state highway commission, instea'
of county courts and $15 per mil
is paid from the state fund for thei
upkeep. This money is availabl
