AND STILL THEY COME

That Wilson's clear-headedness
courage and progressive tendencies
would attract the independent minds
of the country to his standard has
been confidently expected. Now as the
issues between the two presidential
candidates, the men and the things
they stand for, are beng discussed
and made clear the lining up begins
Besides the large number of progress
sive and independent leaders already
in the Wilson ranks, in the last two
weeks the following significant things
have come to pass:
Thomas A. Edison comes out in a
strong interview approving Wilson's
courage, wisdom and course of action
and announces his support of him.
Roger Babson, Boston's famous sta
tistician and financial expert, life
long Republican, comes over to Wilson
He is won to Wilson by Wilson's high
conceptions and course in dealing with
great national and international prob
lens.
Luther Burbank, the worlds most
distinguished scientist in plant life and
development, publicly announces adj
herence to Wilson, as "The greatest
President America has ever had"
Miss Ida M. Tarbell, one of the
foremost leaders of thought in Amer
ica, whose history of the Standard Oil
Company was nothing less than epoch
al in its effect, announces her active
support Of Wilson. She said: "He is
the first real progressive leader this
decade has produced.
Miss Ella Flags Young, Superinten-
dent of Chicago's schools for years,
announces her support of Wilson and
is actively at work for his reelection
Mrs. Antoinette Funk of Illinois,
one Of the most distinguished suffra-.
gettes in the nation, and a leading,
Progressive, announces that she will
support Wilson, Because l am a Pro-
gressive," and because Wilson's record
on the suffrage question is better than
Hughes.

OZARK POWER COMPANY'S
LINES BEING EXTENDED

Springfield, Sept. 21.-A large
force of men is being utilized by the
Ozark Power and Water company for
the extension of the colnpany's high
power transmission lines from a sub
station near Monett to a sub-station
being installed at Peirce City for the
reduction of the voltage of the cleo
trio current to be used in Peirce City.

current power and lighting purposes
in Peirce City.
The electric current used by the city
of Monett and the Frisco shops at
that point is carried into Monet from
the sub-station- near the town. The
transmission lines to the Peirce City
sub-station will also be out of the Mo
nett sub-station and further reduction
of the voltage of the current will be
made in the new station. About $40,-
600 worth of equipment, including
transformers, switches, lightning ar

nearly a century has held an unwav-

This announcement followed a confer
ence between Mr.. Wilson and Vance
Mccormick, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee 1t is under
stood that some Of these speeches will
be in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and
New York.
When asked whether the President
would go as far west as the Pacific
Coast, Mr. Mccormick replied:
Hardly that far"
In addition to speeches in different
parts of the country, the President
plans to make addresses on the porch
of Shadow Lawn to delegations from

COMMISSION WAITS
DETAILS OF ATTACK
No Action Will be Taken by Interna-
tional Board Until Official Ac- i.
count of Villas Raid on Chi
huahua is Received

New London, Conn, Sept. 90
Until an official account Of the report
ed attack on Chihuahua by Villa forces
is received by the Mexican-American
joint commission it's members will not
enter into any agreement on a plan for
the maintenance of peace on the bor
der, it was learned tonight.
The American commissioners con-
ferred at length late today with Coun-
selor Polk of the state department
who was on his way back to Washing
ton from Maine.
Prior to the conference the Ameri-
can representatives spread before the
Mexican commissioners mass Of doc
umentary evidence relating to condi
tions in Mexico. The submission of
the information in possession of the
Americans was somewhat in the ma
ture Of a rebuttal to information that
had been offered by the Mexicans. The
report placed before the commission
by the Mexican representatives have
been of character calculated to depict
rapidly recovering country and to
offset stories that credited the govern
ment authorities in various localities
with lack of control and efficiency.
The American representatives have
not questioned the report submitted
by the Mexicans but much of the data
they exhibited today was contrary to
that offered by the Mexicans.

BIG FIRE AT PURDY.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
The Livery Barn and Nearly All the
Business Block South of 1t is
Burned. Loss, $4,000

The little town Of Purdy, nine miles
south Of Monett suffered disastrous
fire on Wednesday night.
Buildings Burned
C. l.. Brown & Sons Grocery.
w. S. Carlin Dry Goods Store.
Albright Drug Store.
Burrows Livery Barn.
The fire started at midnight in the
top of the Burrows livery barn. 1t is
thought that a spark from q freight
train set fire to the hay in the barn.
The owners had unloaded a car load of
hay into the barn loft the day before
and this made fire that was impos-
sible to be controlled by the local fire
department, the city not having water
works.
The wind was in the north and the
blaze was carried to the main business
block south Of the barn. Seeing that
the fire was spreading the Purdy citi-
zens telephoned to Monett to ask athe
fire chief to go to their assistance
with the chemical apparatus, but as
the tank this department has is so
small and only for use in incipient
fires Mr.. Pitts was instructed that he
could do no good to go.
C. L. Brown & Sons grocery store
was burned, both building and con-
tents except few fixtures which they
were able to save.
The Carlin Dry Goods store was
burned. Mr.. Carlin had just sold the
store to a Mr.. Cumm iluiew,
who had taken possession.
The Albright Drug Store was also
total loss and like Mr.. Carlin, Mr..
Albright had just sold his business
to DR.. Bailey, of Cassville.
The fire stopped at Monroe Fly's
building which is brick but the side
next the fire was damaged seriously.
The Burrows livery barn was a COM
plete loss.
1t is estimated that the loss is $780,
900. All of the owners carried insur-
ance to partly cover their loss.
