T. G. NUNNALLY KILLED
AT STARK CITY, MISSOURI

r. G.. Nunnally, conductor on the
M. & n. A. railroad, was SO seriously
injured at Stark City, Mo, last Fri
day afternoon that he died few hours
later at st. Johns Hospital at Joplin
where he was taken for medical atten
ton.
Mr.. Nunnally had charge Of Train
No. II, a freight that left Joplin at
10:45 a. IT,, scheduled to arrive at
Harrison at p. m. His train reached
Stark City, ten miles south of Neosho
at 2:5S p. m. and the accident took
place, while switching at that station
at 3:15. He was caught between a
hopper coal car and an old coach that
was stationed there, which he was en-
deavoring to couple, and crushed in
the abdomen. The engine was at once
coupled to the caboOse and tho unfor-
tunate conductor was taken to Joplin,
medical attention Immediately being
given him. Although the nature Of
his injuries were such that little hope
was entertained for his recovery, he
recovered consciousness quickly and
remained so until a very short time
before he died.

rison attended the funeral at Green

With the political atmosphere clari-
fled, the commercial outlook unchang-
ed, and agricultural interests, as a
whole, prosperous, there is nothing in
evidence to disturb a continuance OF
the present prosperity throughout
the land.
The Harrison times., 1916-12-02

Everybody hopes that good times
may contiue, but the teaching Of the
past is that periods Of prosperity are
followed by periods of depression.
Therefore the wise thing is to lay up
money while it is plentiful that the
proverbial rainy day may not find one
unprepared. The family that spends
one hundred cents on the dollar all
the time one can earn a dollar will
find itself lacking a dollar when the
storm comes. 1t seems to be very
hard fGr the average American family
to make up its mind to be saving
Sometimes it is due to a mistaken idea
that to do so makes one seem small"
and there is nothing that the average
man dislikes as smallness in money
matters. 1t is not smallness but wis
dom to live well within ones means
as one realizes when the tide Of pros.
perity is running out.

One of the first things to be taken
up by our next legislature, If it is
really hunting for the kind Of legis
htion that counts for anything with
She people, should be the adoption of
Me Australian or Torrens system of
land transfers. Many Of the states as
we'll as Canada and New Zealand have
tried this system and find that it not
enly saves land owners millions Of
money but is really the common-sense
method of making absolutely safe land
titles and transfers. 1t involves the
legistration of titles and the issuance
Of a certificate Of title; this certifi-
sate is taken up and re-lssued to the
new owner in case of sale, and the
long abstract giving all transfers from
the beginning is eliminated. Arkan-
sas should have this improved sys-

Former Secretary Of War Garrison
delivers his message to the American
people on the subject by having his
thoughts visualized; his thoughts being
1--WE should take steps to prepare
ourselves because war is no respecter
Of persons
1T is essential that we should take
steps to prepare ourselves against
such situation, which may encompass
us almost before we are aware of the
cause therefor"
"It is advisable to do whatever
should be done in advance, and not
leave such steps to be taken after the
calamity has overtaken us. 1t will be
much easier and less costly to do it
the former way"
Major General Wood urges Pre-
paredness becausc-"Prepared for
war is the best insurance against it,"
"The conditions of modern war give
no time or opportunity to attain pre-
paredness after the war has COM
menced.''
"Those instruments OF modern war
cannot be made in day.

any other means.

pare" continuing that
II believe in the fullest liberty within
our borders; and therefore I believe in
efficiency in preparedness to prevent
the restriction of this liberty by peo-
pie outside our own borders" he con-
tinues to register.
preparedness means discipline: and
in democracy it is of the highest i'm
portance for us to discipline ourselves:
and in doing so we would prepare our
selves, not merely to defend our own
rights against alien foes, but to en-
courage the habits of orderly liberty
and disciplined efficiency. which will
enable us to solve our own difficult So
ciai and industrial problems, he follows.
TN a Democracy, every man has his
duties as well as ais rights. And it
is Just as much every mans duty to
train himself to defend the rights of
the commonwealth as a whole as it is
his duty to pay his share Of the taxes

Major General Scott, Chief Of the
Staff Of the United States Army, says
in the pictures:
rs the United States worth fighting
for?"
"The rights Of a citizen to the free
dom Of a republic, involve a corre-
spending duty to defend those rights"
"You cannot hire force of national
dcfenders-yet must do it yourself or
it will not be DONE"
The subject is covered in its every
particular. The War College and it's
provinces are utilized, and the in
adequacy of the cavalry. the gunnery,
the artillery and infantry are shown in
their entirety, universally portraying
the adequate manner in which we
should be. o..
For the gathering of this instructive
material on preparedness, operators
have been dispatched to important
army and naval bases, where they are
making pictures that will bring home
the truth of our condition for war to
the American people I'VE are prac-
tically uadefended,' Mr.. Heuterdahl
said, 1--WE cannot back our national

navy knows 1.-THE country is learning
it fast" Just what the Pork Barrel
means is to be demonstrated by pic
lures; just where the army is helpless
is being put upon the screen. The OPP
orators are picturing our aviation
camps-army and navy. All the mad
equate and miserable equipment Of our
aerial corps will be put before the peo-
pie, as will our railroad resources for

1t is bringing home horrible truths
that are startling.

The word psychology stuns the ma

used by Professor Munsterberg in his

brought this to delightful pass. More
than anything that has ever been pic

Standing on the brink of war, for
months American citizens have been
asking themselves one question.
Are we prepared for defense?
In years passed there could have
been naught save an affirmative an
rswer to the query, but with Europe in
the throes of a war Of nations in
which millions of men have been
massed against each other, striving for
supremacy, the millions of citizens Of
the States have found that their affirm
alive answer of years gone by has
been, out of sheer necessity, turned
into a negative one. At no previous
time have people so fully realized that
our army and navy was so Inadequate.
The singular fact that while hun
dreds, or even hundreds of thousands
have realized that the States We're not
prepared for defence, there were mil
lions who did not fully appreciate the
extreme need for deep thought upon
tho matter. Lack of realization is as
bad as lack Of preparedness. Lack of
preparedness is sure sign Of weak
ness. The suggested remedy for this
was a course Of education, to be given
the people by which they would be
brought to fuller understanding of
the seriousness of the situation.
, It was for that reason, the reason of
-, 49, %11I.
gent people, and educating them each
week in a forceful manner, that the
1notion pictures were brought into
play in the countrywide campaign for
preparedness. The countrys greatest
thinkers had spent years trying to tell
the people that there was grave need
for adequately preparing for our coun-
try's defence; not to prepare for war,
but to enable us to stand behind every
statement, it matters not how caustic,
that our government would be COM
PEELED to make. War did come. Situa-
tions arose that were terrible. Some
said we should go to war. Others said
we would be the laughing stock Of the
world if we did. What was to be done?
Educate the people to think. Think
on vital questions. Show them what
was what. Give them the real data
relative to our present situation. Tell
them what we are and what we should
be. And then let them sit down and
think 1t out for themselves
But they have been told, the "paciist''
answered. They have been told in
written words. But they didn't under
stand written words the "militarist" re-
torted. Show it to them. Show them
in q way that they will never forget.
Show them their needs in visualized
manner.
They couldn't take a million people
to see what we had at Fort Bliss or
Fort Myer or any other fort. Neither
could they show them the navy.
Then the thought came to the mind
Of the thinking men of the motion pic
ture industry, and it was these men
who filled the gap and decided to

great thinking men, on the screen. 1t
