BUYS PALM RESTAURANT;
COMMERCIAL CAFE TO OPEN

Greer & Marshall, owners of the
Palm Restaurant on Broadway, this
week sold the fixtures to w. R. Will
hanson, who, with his wife, recently
moved to Monet from Crane, Mo.
The new owner is now in charge OF
the business. Mr.. Williamson is not
new man in Monet. Several years
ago he was boiler maker at the Frisco
round house and moved from here to
Crane, where he has resided for eight
years. Mr.. Williamson is well pleas
ed with Monet, and expects to con-
duct an up-to-date restaurant.
Messrs. Greer & Marshall will not
retire from business. They have pur-
chased the fixtures at the Com
mercial Cafe, which has been closed
for several weeks, and expect to be
open for business December Is. They
are at work making various changes
inside. The dining room is being
made smaller, and the kitchen will be
moved forward and the rear room
will be used for storage. Mr.. Greer
and Mr.. Marshall bought the building
some time ago, and about three weeks
ago purchased the fixtures from the
Central State Bank.

ORGANIZING A
KU KLUX KHAN HERE
Many Said to Be Joining the "Invis-
ibIe Empire" at this
Place.

For many weeks the preliminary
work has gone forward quietly to
ward the organization of Ku KluA
Klan at Monett. Those interested
claim that many of the most promin-
ent citizens are joining the Invisible
Empire" and that there will be a
strong following of "Knights.'
G. A. Glasscock, of St. Louis, is
state organizer. Mr.. Glasscock says:
"The Ku Klux Klan is absolutely a
law-abiding order composed of "pick-
ed men," 1t is duly incorporated,
legally recognized institution, honest
in purpose, noble in sentiment. Only
native-born American citizens who be-
lieve in the tenets of the Christian
religion and owe no allegiance of any
degree OF nature to any foreign gov
elnment, nation, political institution,
sect, people or person are eligible"
In spite of strong opposition from
many quarters the Ku Klux Klan con-
tinues to grow. There are said to be
100000 members in the United States
100000 of whom are in Texas and
10000 in Oklahoma.
The members vigorously deny any
proceedings and declare
that their purpose is the defense of
the home and the sacred rights of the
people. "

BARRY COUNTY TENTH PLACE

A report has been received by the
officers of the Barry County Sunday
School Association stating that a.
mong the 144 counties of the State
Barry county now ranks 10th in the
Sunday school work.
This is a very encouraging report
but there is plenty of room for i'm
provement and something better yet
to work for the coming year. Barry
county graded full 100 per cent the
past year on county association
work, having fully met every associ-
alton requirement. But the ranking
of the individual schools was far
from what it should have been and
that is what held the county's rank
down to the 10th place. A few
schools in the county are measuring
up to the standard of efficiency and
a number of others will endeavor so
to do for the coming year.--Cassville

WHY SET APPLE TREES NoW?'

Because there are over so per cent
less apple trees now than there were
in 1910, according to the Washington
Bureau of reports. There are also
over so per cent less peach trees than
in 1915 What will be the result?
There is going to be a scarcity Of
fruit in few years, therefore now is
a fine time to get into the game. We
have the biggest and incest block Of
TWO YEAR old trees we have ever
grown, including Black Ben, Ben
Davis, Gano, Staymens Winesap,
Grimes, King David, Jonathan, and
all the leading varieties. We also
have block Of one year old trees
that pleases all those who have in
spected it. This includes all the
standard varieties. We have about
10000 nice peach trees, also berry

TAKE STEPS TO
PREVENT EPIDEMIC
Mayor Chapel Calls Meeting to Han
die Situation Efficiently. School
Children Must be Vaecinated

On call of Mayor 5. A. Chapel, the
physicians of the town, members of
the school board and the superinten-
dent of schools met at Sig Solomon's
office Thursday night to discuss plans
to ward off a smallpox epidemic i'll
Monett. So far not case has de-
veloped in town, but as the epidemic
is gradually spreading from Kansas
City all over the state, it is necessary
to face the situation with efficient
measures. The disease is in a viru-
lent form and the percentage of fatal
ities is high.
The physicians declared it neces-
gary that all citizens immunize them
selves by vaccination. The board oil
education will require that all
school children, who have not been
successfully vaccinated within two
years, be vaccinated at once. In case
a family cannot afford to pay forvac-
cination, the board will pay the bill,
In order to get this free vaccination,
the child must take to the superinten-
dent of schools statement from ms
parents, that he is unable TO pay for
the vaccination and the perintendent
will give him an order to any Monett
musician to vaccinate him at the eX-
pense of the board. The board will
furnish the vaccine and the physi-
clan will do the work free.
The limit of time set is December IL
and children not vaccinated by that
time will be denied the privilege of
school.
Physicians will visit every school
in town today to explain the neces-
sity for this action and to instruct
the children in regard to the proceed +,
ings required.
The mayor has issued orders that
every passenger from Kansas City
who stops in Monett be watched and
In case they have not had successful
vaccination they must be vaccinated
If they remain in town.
All citizens are requested to be
vaccinated again if they have not
been successfully vaccinated within
two years. "They owe it to their !
families and the community to do
this, 'Mayor Chapel declared.
