bonds and mutual interests.

When we look around in our town when We go out over the county, we see so many things that could be done, and though nearly every body sees the possi- tilities and need of these i'm movements, still nothing can or will be done unless the people get together and go after il.
 1 pity the man without a wis ion. pity the man, who is so narrow minded and so short sighted that he is against any kind of improvements because t will touch his pocketbook, and who does not realize that these steps of progress, in the long run, will pay him large dividends. You can hardly pick up paper without reading about some town, some county, that has taken the right Sstep, issued bonds and keeping pace with the times by building good roads. bridges and other improvements.
 What the other counties have done. Franklin county can do, and l hope to see the day when good roads and good bridges will bring farmers from all over the county, both north and south, to Ozark, when factory whistles will tell us the time of day, when we do not have to pay three time as high insurance rate on account of lack of fire protection. and when every citizen of Frank lin county can be justly proud of our accomplishments.

PRESBYTERIAN NOTES

Next Sabbath morning is the time set apart for Christian Endeavor sermon. it will be de- scriptive of their opportunities and beautiful service. The work of this organization is larger than denomlnational incentives, has contri buted more to the broad, fraternal movements within the churches than any other organ lzation; it has taught Christen- dom that cooperation is more Christlike than competition, that teaching the love of God IS more acceptable than building high the walls of denominationalism, that youths minds need to be freed in Christ rather than bound in creeds and it has been the work of this undenominational organization to direct the unfold ing of the unbiased mind, thus developing a broad visioned wom- enhood and manhood which with Tn one generation (38 years) has made cooperation the key word of Christendom.
 The evening service will be in the hands of the Endeavors who are preparing special program. The public Is solicitously invited.
 Last Sunday morning at the close of the sermon, George Flee man was ordained deacon ana Frank Johnston, Dr. Blackburn. J. s. Turner. James Roach; F.P. Nichols. and R. H. Strong. who had been reelected to the elder ship to succeed themselves at the time of adopting the rotary sys- tenn, were re-installed.
 Last Sunday Rev. Robert Roach filled his regular appoint ment at Lone Oak.
 The New Era Conference to be held at Oklahoma City Feb. 4th and 9th will be one of the great est Presbyterian conventions ever held in this part of the coun- try.
 Great in the fact of it's purport, because it's service is to extend beyond denominational color lines; great because of the mol ten world sentiment into which it speaks; great because the speakers will be the most astute thinkers and indefatigable work CTS in the denomination. Rev. Teague and James Roach will at- tend it's sessions.

Memorial Association
 Partially Organized

At the meeting at the court house Saturday night a memorial association sn.for the purpose of erecting a suitable memorial for the Franklin county soldiers and sailor. was partially organized,
 A temporary chairman and sec retary were left in charge and a membership fee of $1. % decid- ed upon and everyone present enrolled as a member.
 It was then decided to leave the permanent organization to later date in order to give every body. who so desires. the honor of becoming charter member. It was believed by those present at the meeting that many people throughout the county would be disappointed if they were de- prlved of the honor of being charter members of an orgAniza- tion which is of such great inter- est to the majority of homes in the county.
 A committee will be appointed to receive memberships on the first day of circuit court. and it is to be hoped that a large num- Der will enroll between now and that date.
 Soon after that date a meeting will be called and a permanent organization effected and a cam paign for funds to erect a memo rial will be put on.
 It was the sense of the meet ing that as this memorial would stand for all time, and future generations would judge us by the beauty of the design and the excellency of the workmanship and appropriateness of the form of the structure. that the associa- tion should not rush through some hastily considered design of which we would be ashame in a few months, but should secure 9s large membership as possible composed of representative cit 'izens from every part of the and then choose the de- sign
 Your membership is solicited. Leave your dollar with John Bollinger at the county clerks office or J. s. Turner.

Address By A. W. Milling

1 uiCSS, dSiNCiCN py SOuIty ASCtf A. w. Milling before the meeting called to meet at the court house Saturday night Jan. IS, to organ ize a boosters club, on account of it's excellence.
 Ladies and Gentlemen. 7"
 Il have taken the liberty of calling this meeting tonight for purpose of bringing before you certain matters which are of the utmost importance for the future progress and prosperity of our county" "
 We have just passed through some crucial times, times when the passions of man have been aroused to the uttermost; times when more human lives have been sacrificed, more misery, starvation, desolation ana deSti- tuition has been witnessed than the world has ever seen before As Americans We are proud, justly proud, that we have been instrumental in bringing to q close this awful war, brought upon civilization by the Madman of Berlin, this selfish. conceited brute, who, according to hls opin- ion endowed by divine right, thought he could rule the world and make It absorb his kultur. ,
 Thank God. we have shown that neither the Hohenzollen. MT. Ludendorph or Hindenburg nor any body else Is able to cram that kind of 'kultur" down our throats, and though he thought that we would not fight, ana had even planned to come over here, when he had conquered Europe, and make us pay for the whole war today the Stars and Stripes floats over German soil and onr boys are keeping the Watch on the Rhine. '
 Every day thousands of these boys, who have covered them selves and their country with glory, are returning to take up their part Tn civil life, bringing with them lessons of progress and advancement in near y every sphere of life.
 The question then naturally arises. are we keeping pace with the times? Are we, here in our town, in our county, making inn provements. are we progressing, or are we just satisfied with stay in the same cid rut? In order to build up a community, a town, or a whole county, it is necessary that all have common interest and devotion. Individual inter- ests only serves to separate and do not bind men together. Thel 6 must be a common desire to serve one another, to establish such good will toward man. which alone will create a hearty cooperation between the people in town and the people in the country and vice versa. Good will is not only the forerunner of trade. but the only sound found ation of trade. Du-ing the war the people of the United States have been drawn more closely together than ever before. The North and the South. the West and the east, sthe rich and the poor all have loyally. and as true patriots stood behind our Pres ident and. with the exception of a few slackers. today glory in the consclousness that we have done our part in winning the war.
 We have been taught many valuable lessons and one of the many is that we have learned how to give. The cost of this war has been tremendous, and where we formerly figured in millions We are now talking in billions. Just think what this country would look like if all the money. which was spent in war,

there are many sacrifices of
 which we will never hear. We
 will never hear much about the
 little old lady. whose hands knit
 ted socks and sweaters, not for
 her own boy. but some unknown
 boy or the many women, who
 gave their time. thought and
 money to entertain the boys
 when at liberty on furlough. so
 tha the temptation that lie in
 wait would not overcome: the
 many who opened their homes and With genuine hospitality took in somebody eIse's boys that they
 may not become home sick. Lit tie shall we ever know of the good that cheerful, happy letters did to cheer and keep up the
 pep n our fighting boys. But these are all things, which in sam. have revived the spirit of fellow ship, of which there was but very little before the war Then. the world had some justification in tniqking that all We Americans We're after was chasing the doI- lar" the almighty dollar. From no& on, life will never be the same again All classes have beer ieveled through q common suffering to ONE class, and Jhe sDIrit of fellowship, which has bsea manifested so beautifully throughout the period of war fare, cannot pass away with peace.
 We are now approaching a new cry an era of reconstruction and re-adjustmeot when pa uence, unselishness and good Will toward man will be need- ed more than ever, when our heatts must be kept warm and our heads cool, that we may be able to meet che reaction in the pfoper manner.
 0sie of the greatest things that las come out of this wsr is the recognition of the farmer. For generations he has stood in the background. too often laughed tt and considered ignorant, and unlmportant lnsthe general oroer of things. Bot the war brought Mm out ana made people realize what important part he has Tn the development of civilization. He was one of the most import ant factors in winning the war. He gave his sons where they were most needed, either in the service or in the fields. And even his wife and daughters helped till the soil as never be- fore in order to meet the ever growing task of feeding the world. Yes, our nation, the whole world knows the place of the farmer, and he will never lose 1t.
 Over there. our boys had to carry on" whatever the cost, and now Is the time when we here at home must continue to carry on. May the patriotism and good fellowship awakened during this war from it's dormant stage still vibrate in our hearts, and may We, with renewed vigor and zeal, put our shoulders to the wheel and every body resolve to do his part in making Franklin county the best and most pro- gressive county in our state.
 In order to accomplish this, there must be organization. The tune IS coming, whether 1t be two, five or ten years from now, when the farmers will be organ ized. It is being done now thru the Community Clubs, and they are rapidly realizing the great of cooperation, But in my estimation the most i'm portant factor for progress and ,a rbaS thara ha a
