TO SHOW STATES FEELING

FULTON, Mo-, Sept. 20. = A meet
ing, possibly of statewide proportions
to square Missouri in the eyes of
those who Judge the states patriotism
by the actions of several Missouri rep
resentatives in Congress, probably
will be called at Fulton. Prominent
Galloway County Democrats are back
ing the movement and w. R. Taylor,
chairman of the county committee,
has indicated willingness to call the
meeting.
"If there is a real showing of sen-
timent in favor of the plan, shall
not hesitate to take up the matter,
Mr.. Taylor said. "If | can be as.
sured of this, l shall get the commit.
tee together Immediately"
The movement originated in a meet.
ing held at Fulton recently at which
Governor Gardner denounced opposi
ton to the President. Democrats il
all parts Of the county-one of the big
Democratic strongholds of the State
who are displeased with the opposi
tion representatives and are especial,
bitter toward Senators Reed an
Stone, have indorsed the plan for
meeting.

ARRESTED AUTO DRIVERS
Fulton Gazette)

About Is drivers of automobiles in
Fulton were arrested Friday and Sat-
urday by James ]. O'Connor, of JEFF
ferson City, supervisor of motor vehi-
Gle registration, for violation OF
State Laws in regard to operating
machines.
Mr.. O'Connor found that a num-
ber of cars were being driven in Full
ton either without license or by an
unlicensed chauffeur. In each case
he arrested the violator, and ordered
him to appear before Justice D. W.
Hearing Saturday morning for hear
ing. Mr.. O'Connor recommended tC
Justice Herring in each case that hi
reduce the fine to the mere costs o1
the case should the violator agree tt
comply with the law.
All of the money collected from
fines from this source go to the Stat
School Fund and money COLLECTED
from the sale of automobile an
chauffeurs' licenses to the Goo
Roads fund.
Mr.. O'Connor finds in most town
the law in regard to chauffeurs
violated and cites the wording Of tn
law: "a chauffeur is any perso
operating or driving a motor vehicl
an employe or for hire" He ais
calls attention to the new law requil
ing that chauffeur's badge be wor
, in a CONSPICUOUS place.

MISS HELENA WONNEMAN
RACES WITH TRAIN; WINS

Miss Helen Wonneman, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. C. Wonneman,
played the stellar role in a little epi-
sode enacted here yesterday that con-
tanned almost as many thrills as a
scenario for first class picture play.

Embarrassment after a death de-
flying" automobile ride with the her
oine at the wheel.
When Baker arrived in Mexico with
the Galloway contingent, he learned
that he would have several hours here
and called on his aunt, Mrs. Fred
Langenbach. After a visit with his
! aunt, he was driven to the station to
catch the train with the other men,
bers of the contingent and upon
learning that the train was late, went
to the Hotel Hoxsey to call homefolks
at Fulton. The train that was to
take the contingent pulled out while
he was in the Hotel.
1t did not take Baker long to decide
that the only thing to do was to take
an automobile and overtake the trair
but where to get the car was what
puzzled him. Right here is where the
real action IN this little thriller be.

Miss Wonneman, who had driver
Baker and Mrs. Langenbach to tbs
station offered to undertake the jol
of catching the train by the time i
reached Centralia, and Baker got il
the car. Fully a minute after thu
train had left, they started on a rae

passengers reached Thompson,
miles from Mexico, the train was jus
pulling in on switch to let anothe

getting on there, and arrived at Cam

MCMILLAN NOTES
By Curtis C. Mitchell

Friday the Mcmillan Band went to
Paris 10 play for the soldiers, fare
well there. They were taken over in
automobiles by E. Winans and N.
Fry.
This morning the classes of the High
School held their first class meetings
of this year, While the Freshmen
were Of course inexperienced in such
affairs they managed, with the help
of Mr.. Strunk and their sponsors, to
elect a staff of officers and take en-
estimate of the number who are 60
ing to take the Mcmillan" this year.
1t proved that almost every member
is going to subscribe. This certain
ly is the way to support the school ac-
tivities and we hope that they will
continue to show their "pep" as long
as they are at Mcmillan High. The
officers elected are:
President, Frank Haggard.
Vice-President, Cornelia Atkins.
Secretary, Clayton Hueland.
The Sophomore officers are:
President, Herschel Clevenger.
Vice-President, John Bybee.
Secretary, Dorothy Atkins.
Treasurer, Mary Mcfarland.
They also reported that about on,
hundred per cent of that class wer'
going to subscribe for the paper.
The Junior officers are:
President, George Wagner.
Vice-President, Delno Calhoun.
Secretary-Treasurer, Marie Gibbs
Attorney, VIM. Hickman.
Sergeant, Richard Mckinney.
The Seniors elected officers som
time ago, but in their estimate for tn
paper they reported one hundred pc
cent for a starter. The Juniors ha
too much business on hand to consid
er it, but judging from last year an
the general sentiment of the class the
will come up to the hundred per Ger
mark easily.
