WILL SHOW THE WORLD

Cattle and hogs from the Ozark
Country went up to the Missouri
State Fair at Sedalia last month and
who three championships and dozen
or more blue ribbons-for more than
their numerical share. And now the
best livestock from the entire Ozark
Country in both Missouri and Arkan-
sas are going to come together for a
final tussle for honors at the Ozark
Stock Show, to be held this year at
Springfield October to 8.
Herefords, Shorthorns, Holsteins,
Jerseys, Poland Chinas and Duroc
Jerseys, practically all of which are
bred and owned right here in the
Ozark Country, are going to be on
hand to show the world what a great
livestock country our part Of the world
is really getting to be.
Special cash prizes are being given
for every man whose herd is actually
in the Ozarks OF within 1875 miles of
Springfield. These prizes are so ar
ranged that every man who exhibits
should at least make his expenses, TO
say nothing of publicity which he will
get, the new friends he will make and
the satisfaction he will have in know
ing that he is really getting some
where as a breeder. The best judges
in the United States have been
selected to pass upon these exhibits,
Besides the hundreds of good live
stock there will be machinery display,
electrical shows, automobiles of the
latest models, music by world famed
bands and all kinds of fun.
The Free Show alone, which the
Stock Show gives each year, is said
by all who see it to be more than
worth twice the fifty cents admission
to the grounds. This show consists
of trained bears, comedy musicians,
the famous dancing rooster, concert
by AL Sweets famous band, the same
band which entertained thousands last
year and in fact all the interesting
high class amusements which you see
in the vaudeville stage where the
worlds best artists perform.
Inquiries for entry blanks for
entering livestock should be addressed
to H. R. Nelson, Manager Ozark
Stock Show, Jefferson Theatre Bldg,
Springfield, Mo. The livestock entries
close September Goth.

1900 MILES OF HARD
ROADS FOR $40, 1863, ,451
$9,322,O75 of Cost to Be Paid by U. S.
Under Federal Aid Law.

jefferson City, Mo-, August 3d.
Approximately 1900 miles of hard-sur-
faced road projects representing an
estimated cost of $40, ,451.03 have
been approved by the Federal Board
and recommended for construction in
Missouri under the federal aid law,
according to information contained in
bulletin issued today by the state
Highway Department. Missouri has
been allotted the largest amount Of
federal aid in road construction on any
Iof the four states in the Fifth Federal
Aid district, composed of Missouri,
Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. The
states allotment, according to the
bulletin received from district head
quarters at Omaha, is $9,322,075.71.
Although Missouri ranks below
Kansas and Iowa in the number of
projects under construction at the
present time, the projects under con-
tract and the projects completed, the
state will stand with the highest in
total aid, according to Alex. Graham,
state highway engineer. The cause
for Missouri's federal aid projects not
being so far along at the present time
according to Graham, is that the
building of such roads in Missouri is
more difficult because of streams, fills
and hills, with which the other three
states have very little difficulty.
The estimated cost of federal aid
projects already approved by the Fed
eral Board for Missouri is over S2O,-
100000. The cost of projects now un-
der contract will be $13,746,23817,
while the cost of projects completed
totals $321,474.15.

OPENING OF SCHOOL

The public schools an over the
country are opening. Our future as a
nation depends upon our schools.
Compulsory attendance is the law in
this state and should be enforced in
every particular for the best good Of
the children. They cannot appreciate
the value Of an education until they
are grown and often blame their
parents for not disciplining them and
forcing them to make the most of their
opportunities, when they see what
they have missed in after years.
Efficiency depends upon education.
Natural ability is much enhanced by
efficient training. The leaders of the
future will be the educated men and
women.

NEW EQUIPMENT FOR
FOOTBALL TEAM

The athletic department of the Mo-
nett High school has just received
complete equipment for the football
team of the coming season. This
material consists of head gears,
shoulder pads, jerseys, pants, stock
ings, shoes and footballs. The boys
who wear the purple and gold this
year will be equipped much better
than in former years.
Some of the boys who will probably
be seen on the Monett gridiron during
the coming weeks are: w. Reynaud,
B. Henderson, M. Reynaud, Witte,
Wormington, Fly, Long, Young,
Chumbley, Steele, Black, Boss, Hover
ton, Bridwell, Henson, Taylor and
others. Under the coaching of pro-
fessors Engleman and Holstine and
Galbraith these young men ought to
develop into another championship
team.
All athletic activities of the Monet
High school are of the clean whole
some manly type. They are not only
of benefit to the students as individu-
ais but serve as one means of welding
the student body together in united
whole and of developing a good school
spirit. Students are encouraged by
the faculty and Board of Education to
enter athletics, not merely for what
satisfaction they may give in winning
games, but that their bodies may be
developed, their minds made more
alert and their moral fiber strength
ened.
