having an agent who is at once a
man of business, combined with the
characteristics of a gentleman who
makes and holds friends.
Mr.. Livingston was born in Scot
| County, Iowa, January goth, 1865
and was educated in the common

In every town there is always
somebody who looks after the public
good and the general welfare OF the
people, and the upbuilding of the
country. In this connection We
mention the name OF Dr.. F. H. Riley,
who devotes a great deal OF time to
boosting Mansfield, the mines, good
roads, and this part OF the country in
general.
DR.. F H. Riley was born at Olathe,
Kansas. in 1871. and came to Mis-
souri, when he was about the age OF
81. He entered the Kansas City
Dental College and was graduated
from that school in 1895. Before
moving to Mansfield DR.. Riley prac-
ticed in Kansas City for a number Of
years, having Offices at 18th and
Walnut. The back to the farm
movement caused him to look toward
the Ozark section, and five years
ago he came to Mansfield and open
ed up a first-class dental parlor. He
was elected mayor of the City OF
Mansfield in 1915, and reelected in
1917. In the present world crisis

Booster Song.

From Mansfield town we came;
We're the Boosting Ozark Boosters,
And yell we must, Dr. else We'll bust,
But we get there just the same.
We're the Whirling Cyclone Serena
ders,
Right from the mineral hills;
And Mansfield fair, with balmy air,
Mineral springs. big timber and
saw mills.
We're the City of the Ozarks,
Built on a mountain fair;
A health resort, and lots Of sport,
Grand scenery and purest air.
Every man becomes a live one
AS soon as he hits the place.
For it looks so fair, it's in the air,
And a Boosters smile on every
face.
Why, the babies here in Mansfield,
Are the moving picture show.
And mothers smile, yes, all the while
AS the go-carts come and 60.
What's the matter with Mansfield?
We have nothing else to say;
II you are wise, you'll open your
eyes,
And come to Mansfield to stay.
Now here is "Welcome to Our City,"
Most certain the invitations out;
Come while there's time, get right In
line,
And help give the Boosters shout.

We are not making any predic-

have a chance. Men of means are
