Everyone but Miss Alice. as every
one knows her. was as much amazed
at her victory as at the Republican
landslide that has swept Oklahoma
into the Republican fold.
She expressed that thing correctly.
They nominated her because they
liked her. They gave her a huge
complimentary vote for the same
reason. and to the wonderment OF the
district that complimentary vote
elected her. When nominated every
cne thought she could easily be

INCOME TAX BLANKS RECEIVED

Chas. W. Haddock, county assessor,
has sent out blanks to income tax
payers, which must be filled out and
returned before March /.
Owing to the splendid crop of straw
berries here last season, a number of
farmers will be liable for income tax,
who have not been paying any hereto
fore. These, of course, are not known
by the assessor, and they will not re-
ceive the blanks from him, but they
will be liable for the tax just the same
and will save future trouble by So
curing blanks and filling them out.
The income tax law is making it
necessary for farmers and all business
men to keep books in order to give
the proper returns.

A petition was filed in the Cole

asking for a writ of certiorari to issue
and that the court review the decisions
and orders of the public service COM
mission in regard to telephone rates
and charges and especially as regards
installation and removal charges.
Judge Slate has issued an order re-
quiring the telephone campany to file
a supersedeas bond for 100000 to the
effect that they will repay all charges
collected in case a repayment is or
dered. The telephone company is fur
ther ordered to keep a correct record
of all funds collected, from whom and
their address, and at the end of each
month the telephone company is re-
quired to deposit this money with the
Missouri Trust company at Jefferson

finally adjusted.
On these conditions the telephone
company will be permitted to collect

PIERCE CITY PLAYERS
DECLARED INELIGIBLE F.

Because the faculty of the high
school at Peirce City declared four of
the regular players on the basket ball
team there ineligible because OF
grades in their studies, the Peirce
City coach cancelled a game that was
to have been played at the high
school auditorium at Joplin last night.
The cancellation came at such short
notice that it was impossible for
Coach R. A. Grady to find other op-
ponents for the Joplin quintet.
Coach Grady announced last
night that arrangements for a game
with Monett here next Saturday night
are virtually completed. The ten
tative arrangements were made yes

MONETT DEFEATS
BOLIVAR 32 TO 2S

In one of the fastest and cleanest
games ever played on Monet court,
Monett high schools basket ball team
defeated the fast team from Bolivar
by a score of 32 to %,
Although there were no real stars
in the game Henderson and Lipe, of
Monett and Rodlander, of Bolivar, de-
serve special mention.
At the close of the first half the
score stood 10 to IA in favor of
Bolivar. Then the Monett team came
to life and before the final whistle
blew they had changed the offs.
Although Bolivar was defeated We
believe that they went away feeling
that the game was played and won
by clean sportsmanship.
The lineup was as follows:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., left guard;
Mckinney, right guard; Braithwait,
center; Rodlander, left forward;
Lamun, right forward.
Monett; Walter Reynaud, right
forward; Russell Gillette, left for
ward; Henderson, left guard; Milton
right forward and Lipe, CEN
ter. George Reed, substituted for W.
Raynaud.

DID YOU?

Did you ever eat school lunch that
was cold and lay on your stomach
like load of lead?
Did you ever try to study after that
and find there's nothing working in
your head?
Did you ever watch your father
heat the food The pigs, and cows and
chickens had to eat?
Did you ever stop to ask the reason
why? Did he answer "boy they got to
have some heat ~
Did you ever get to thinking kids
might have need of something warm
like pigs and cows,
You didn't? Well we youngsters
have, you bet, And we can tell you
grownups all just how
To keep US well and help to learn
and do our work at school with vim
and strength and punch.
Give US a stove, some dishes, gro
ceries, too, and let us have at noon a
hot school lunch.
-Mignon M. Guam.
The parents of more than seven
hundred children in Missouri have
seen the logic in this. jingle. The need
Of hot school lunch for school chill
dren has been realized in fifty-five
schools in twenty-nine counties of the
state. These lunch clubs have been
organized under the supervision OF
boys and girls club department Of
the Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Missouri College Of Agrl-
culture. 1t is expected that the ex
perience of the clubs this winter viii
serve to promote the installation Of
more of them in the schools next
season.

THE HOLY CITY

A large audience at the Methodist
church, Sunday afternoon, heard the
oratorio, "The Holy City," by A. R
Gaul, under the direction of Harold
H. Leake. AS a director, Mr.. Leake
is wonderfully successful and his
singers succeeded in bringing out the
meaning of the text as we'll as the
beautiful harmones of the compo
sition. =
The first part of '"The Holy City
was suggested by the passages Of
scripture, ''Here have we no continH-
ing city," "Thy Kingdom Come" and
sets forth the desire for higher life.
The second part was suggested by the
words, 81 saw a new heaven and new
earth, for the first heaven and the
first earth were passed away" thus
realizing the desire and promises, con
tanned in the first part
Mrs. NJ. c. Shipley, organist, ac-
companied all the selections. The
special organ numbers were a delight
and an inspiration to the audience.
Following the organ introduction,
Contemplation" the full chorus sang
"No Shadows Yonder." Louis C.
Stumpf, who possesses q tenor voice
of unusual sweetness and power,
sang with much expression, "My
Soul is Athirst for God" The Choir
us, "They that Sow in Tears" follow
ed, after which, Miss Fern Hepburn
sang eye hath not Seem" her beau
tiful contralto voice being well
adapted to the selection.
The choruses, "For thee, O Dear,
Dear country" and '"Thine is the
completed part one.
Part two opened with am organ
"Adoration." This was fol-
lowed by "a New Heaven and New
Earth" with bass solo by Harold
Lcake and chorus by the other sing
ars. Mr.. Leake sings with ease and
force and his rendition was very
pleasing. A double chorus, '"Let the
Heavens Rejoice" was followed by
beautiful tenor solo, "To the Lord
)ur God" by Percy Johnson.
Mrs. Landrum sang "Come, Ye
Blessed" in which she brought out /
he text we'll and her voice was at its
'est. Mrs. Kines' lovely soprano then
ook up the solo ''These are they
which Came" This was followed by
he duet, "They shall hunger no
Iore," beautifully rendered by Miss
'auline Mansfield and Miss Fern
1eybuln.
The male quartet and chorus, "List!
he Cherubic Host" was followed by
superb bass solo, II Heard the1
'oice of Harpers," sung by Howard
,ulick.
The closing number and grand eli
lax of this musical treat was the
horus and quartet, "Great and Mar !
ellous are thy Works, Lord God"
The entire production was worthy
{ the highest praise for the director, {
rganist and singers.

SAVING NECESSARY TO
ATTAIN SUCCESS

Ii you want to succeed, save. This
is true, not so much because of the
value of the money which the young
man who saves, accumlrlatcS, but be-
cause of the infinitely greater value
of the system and organization which
the practice of saving introduces into
his life. This result of the saving habit
is not generally nor properly appreci-
ated. l consider it to be almost the
greatest element in making for a
young mans success. In the first
place, it creates determination. This
at the start. Then he developes
steady purpose; then sustained energy
Soon it produces alert, discriminating
intelligence. These all rapidly grow
into an ability that enables him to
take the money he has accumulated
(even though the amount be smalD
and employ it with profit. Better and
better returns follow up his industry,
ability and judgment, and his capital
is now steadily Increasing. Soon he is
secure and that comparatively early
in life; and each day widens the gulf
between him and Incompetence and its
invariable companion, improvidence. |
This is the real framework of the !
structure Of success, Each of its sup
ports, it viii invariably be found, |
rests upon a foundation of an early |
