Parks-No. To me the tragedy Of

Resolutions of Respect.

Hall of Monroe City Lodge No.
268, l. o. o. F.
Whereas, Bro. James H. Grady
has been removed from our midst
by death on August 4, 1914; and,
Whereas, the Lodge of which he
was a member feels that it has lost
in him true brother and friend;
and,
Whereas we realize that the wife
has been bereaved of loving hus-
band and the community an up
right citizen; therefore be it,
Resolved. that this Lodge extend
to the sorrowing wife and friends
its Sincerest sympathy, with the
hope that they will ever cherish the
memory of such a husband and
friend; and be it further.
Resolved, that these resolutions
be spread upon our records, copy
sent to Monroe City papers for pub
LEGATION and a copy be furnished the
family of our beloved brother.

REGIMENTAL QUARTET.

REGIMENTAL QUARTET.
Charles H. Nicholas 1st Tenor,
French Horn and Impersonator.
Earl Vir Den End Tenor and
Cornet.
C A Risser-Baritone, Pianist
and Slide Trombone.
Goodrich Henke-Bass and Eu-
phonium.
The Regimental Quartet sings and
plays musical instruments and
presents sketches in special cos
tune The company takes it name
from the beautiful little sketch
which concludes the program call
ed Soldier Life" This is especial
ly interesting at this time and is an
evening camp scene presented with
the tent, the stacked guns, the
camp fire, the picket on duty and
the men lying about the fire. The
twilight hour is the time when men
in all walks of life are most prone
to give themselves over to reflec-
ton and this is especially true of
the soldier. 1t is then that he
reads and re-reads the letter
from home, sings the home songs
over and over with his companions
and in visions lives again the hap
py scenes of tie past in far off
land until the sound of taps" dis
pels his beautiful reverie by sud-
denly reminding him that it is time
to turn in." Altho there are a
number of rollickine songs and
stories introduced, the situation at
times rises to decided dramatic
heights in portraying the personal
the patriotic and the intensely hu
man side of a soldiers life The
members of this quartet are clean,
manly fellows, ambitious and mu-
steal to their finger tips. Their
program is new and it moves.
There are no tlresome waits. You
should hear them at the Monroe
City Chautauqua afternoons and
evenings Sunday and Monday Aug.

Student Resolutions.

The following resolutions we're
adopted by the student body of the
Kirksvillle Normal School, after
several weeks of agitation caused
by the apparently unjust dismissal
Of one most efficient teachers in
the Normal School faculty.
Whereas, Prof. A. B. Warner,
during his eight years of service in
this school, has proved himself one
of its most efficient instructors, one
of its most loyal supporters; hav-
ing during that time maintained
the most satisfactory relations with
the student body, faculty and COM
munity; having proved himself a
champion of civic improvement and
moral betterment; having stood
fearlessly for a purer. cleaner and
better Kirksville, even at the cost
of his position.
And whereas we believe that
Prof A. B. Warner lost his position
as a result of certain influences
brought to bear upon three men,
berS of the Board of Regents by an
organized conspiracy of local poll
ticians, who have perslStently
sought to intimidate and control
members in the exercise of faculty
their civil rights;
And inaSmuch as we believe
that every man should be free to
exercise his political privileges as
he deems best, and that teachers
should be dismissed for professional
reasons alone, and then only after
charges properly preferred, notice
duly given, and trial fairly con-
Quoted:
BE it. therefore, resolved by the
student body of the First District
Normal School at Huntsville, Mis-
souri,, that we recommend, and
hereby pledge our support to such
legislation as will, thru a form of
civil service, secure more perma-
nent tenure for teachers; thereby
eliminating the short term of office,
the frequent changes and the un-
stable conditions which now exist
in our school system.
BE it also resolved that a copy
OF these resolutions be presented
for publication to as many papers
and other periodicals as can be
reached.
BE it further resolved that copies
be presented to the School Com
mittee of the General Assembly and
to the Governor of the State of
Missouri"

RACE COURSE is MARKED
OFF FOR JULY 4 GAMES
Picturesque Horse Show to Be Held.
Lack Of Funds May Bar
Fireworks.

That observation-disclosures will have an OPP
portunity July to witness one of the
most picturesque horse shows ever
staged in this city was the belief ex-
pressed today by members of the tourna-
ment committee OF the Independence day
celebration, who yesterday marked out a
race course and show ring on the grounds
selected for the meet at the head of the
Brightwood reservoir
The long western slope of the reser-
voir will provide a natural grandstand
for spectators while the trees fringing
the opposite side of the course will fur
nish shade for those who witness the
maneuvers from that point. The com
mittee laid out half-mile track which
will be staked and roped. The show
ring also will be roped. as the committee
intends to take every precaution against
accidents.
Entries are coming in and 1t Is expected
that there will be exciting competition
in all the events. Some good horses have
been promised for the jumping classes,
while several f1rst-class sprinters already
have been entered for the races. En-
tries should be sent in not later than
June % to John o. Gheen care OF Mt
Pleasant stables. or to room SOB District
building.
The general committee on the celebra-
ton today sent out a special request
to lawyers and physicians for donations
to the fund for carrying out the pro-
gram Subscriptions are coming in slowly
and the committee is beginning to fear
that 1t will be compelled to eliminate
the fireworks feature of the program.
