HOSPITALITY A.. AS>l.

A friendly spirit is always at
trartive. The man, society or corn-
inunity, which shows friendliness anG
hospitality is the one with which We
wish co associate.
Monet is good town, but it can be
better. The way to make it better is
to make it so attractive that strangers
will come here and feel welcome.
This summer many tourists, at
tracted by the Ozark Playground al
vertising, will come through Monett.
Whether or not they stop here viii
depend upon the attitude of our
citizens.
1t is up to US to snow a spirit Of
hospitality and accommodation, as well
as to make display of our natural
advantages and business possibilities.
One of the ways is to equip camping
place for tourists. The Commercial
Club has taken steps to secure camp
ing grounds and when they are ready
they will advertise the fact, which will
bring the people to this town.
The Ozark Fairgrounds Association
work is now becoming evident and
Monet, the best town between Joplin
and Springfield, must give her share
of the funds necessary to keep it 60
ing. Be liberal when called upon for
contribution, for the future growth ot
the town will be governed somewhat
by the publicity given this immediate
vicinity at this time.

POOR LEAD TO OBTAIN SPLIT
Attempt to Arouse indignation Over
Horror on the Rhine" Proves
Dismal Failure.

The Germanophile attempt to
arouse American indignation over the
horror on the Rhine and thereby to-
tead to split spiritual rather than
diplomatic, between America and her
recent allies has failed Of its purpose
In precisely the same way that Ger
man propaganda in this country failed
In every one Of the years between
1914 and 1913" says an editorial in
the American Legion Weekly.
The truth is merely that the Ger
mans do not know how to go about
1t. 'Kultur' obviously does not include
any knowledge of the fine art Of get
ting something over, fact amply at
tested by the reflex action which has
accompanied the present attempt. The
Won Mach style of responsiveness is
no more subtle than the efforts Of a
st. Bernard puppy to stand up on a
hardwood floor. It is fattering the
Won Mech type Of boring from within
to call It's insidious. Insidious it Is,
however, in its intent If not In It's ap-
plication.
DIR. Won Mach has proved himself
a poor servant of his country, wheth-
er he regards his country as America
or Germany. He is a poor American
for having tried to win America over
to the point of view Of the unrepen-
tant nation to defeat whose govern
ment 100000 Americans gave their
lives, for attempting to resurrect a
hyphen that was theoretically buried
just three years ago. He is poor
German because his clumsiness has
served only to arouse America to the
fact that she is still at war with Ger
many"

REALLY FLOWERS OF SPEECH

In the course of his lively lectures
ION the Art Of Reading" gives some
examples of Irish peasants sayings
with the large simplicity, the cadence,
the accent Of Scriptural speech. The
best is the benediction bestowed upon

POST WINS ON GOLDEN CALF
Two Headed Animal Aids In Raising
Organizations Funds From
500 to $500.

The Golden Calf of the Twentieth
century has been discovered by the
American Legion post at Fredericks-
burg, Va, which owes an increase in
Its working capital from 500 to 81, 500
to a two-headed Juvenile COW, in full
title to- which the post invested its
scant 500 last fall.
Having induced a Westmoreland
county farmer to part with the freak
animal for this sum, a special levy of
various small amounts was made
upon the treasury to buy nourishment
for the calf. Then came the Virginia
state fair in Richmond and the calf
was in full bloom, eating both his
heads off and waxing fat withal.
The Fredericksburg post put him
on exhibit, charging a suitable fee.
When the fair was over and the dust
had settled, the post treasury con-
tanned S1.5OO-the accrued earnings of

Kaufman Is a government music stu
dent.
The secret Of Kaufman's unusual
accomplishment has baf1ed voice ex-
perts as well as himself. Several
years ago he discovered his ability to
produce oyeriones which gave TIT
sound of more than one part He en-
tered the MacPhail school at Mime
apolis as government student and,
as his voice strengthened and became
clearer, he developed the. curious trio.
The only case remotely similar to
that Of Kaufman, according to his in
structor in the government school, is
that Of a woman singer in whose voice
could be distinguished one separate
overtone, over which she had practi-
cally no control The former soldier
in some way has separated and con-
trolled tenor, bass and baritone parts
simultaneously.

"Apt alliteration's artful aid" was

"Burt began to bitterly berate the

the benighted bigotry. of the belliger-

and branding the busted bucks who
bore the brunt of the battle as bad

I'm a kind friend,1 said the crea-

Mr. Wood Elf.

The creature held his arms over his
chest as though to hide the black
patch and as though he had made a
great mistake not to hide it in the
first place. He seemed quite
flustered.
"rhey fell asleep, those two you
left" said the creature, because they
couldn't keep awake any longer. They
never can accomplish anything all the
way through. They always have to
stop before it is over. This time 1t
was lucky for you. They're not full
of harm, nor do they mean to be

along trying everything and leaving it
before it is finished.
