JUDGE REFUSES TO
PAROLE FRISCO MEN

Judge Henson refused to parole
Claud Epps, Alfred Ferry, Chas
Newton and Dave Fisher, Frisco rail
road employees of Monett, who were
sentenced to four years each in the
penitentiary for burglary and larceny
The men all entered plea Of guilty
to the charge of robbing freight cars
of merchandise.
D. S. Mayhem, attorney for the de-
Tense, made plea for parole. In
giving his decision Judge Henson
stated that burglary and larceny must
be premeditated and carefully plan
ned. This, taken in addition to the
fact that the men We're employees of
the company and had violated a trust
by their actions, made the offense too
serious to be passed by a parole.
All of the men are young married
men with families. Their wives and
children We're with them at Cassville
and it was pathetic scene when the
men were taken to the Jail after
sentence was pronounced.

The company will be organized and
subscriptions paid in within a few
days. Mr.. J. H. Elspass, the builder
and manager, will be here to get the
plant constructed and ready for busi-

Mr.. Edmonds and Mr. Winters will
go from here to Springfield, to locate
a plant at that place. Other places
for which they are scheduled are at
Koshkonong, Carrolton, Kennett and
other places III Missouri. They have
received communication from Hold

place and establish plant.
Monett is fortunate in securing the
big plant for this place as it will be
an advantage for farmers, factory
workers and business people alike.

MONETT TO HAVE
DEHYDRATION PLANT
Funds Have Been Raised by Subscrip-
ton and Organization viii BE
Made Soon.

Monet is to have a S5O,000 deny
dration plant, which will be IN opera
ton III time to handle the spring gar
den crops in this vicinity.
Such plant provides q sure mar
ket for the farmers products and IS
to both city and country N
the unity in which it is situated.
Tn. liant is located at Monett
through the efforts of the Commercial
club, which was instrumental in Sc
curing the services of G. NJ. Edmonds
and K. w. Winters to conduct a cam
paign Of education and to secure the
necessary subscriptions. Mr.. I'd
monds and Mr.. Winters found that
this community was uniformed on
the subject Of dehydration and they
patiently explained the process and
advantages Of this method Of food
preservation.
Dehydration is the process OF re-
moving the water from fruits and veg
etables. The Hammond Process OF
Dehydration, which will be used in the
Monett plant, has been demonstrated
to be superior to any known process
for the conservation of vegetables and
fruits. Under this process dehydra-
ton takes out the water and retains
all the color, flavor and nutriment
that is in the original food.
The advantage of this process lies
in the fact that a large amount OF
food value can be packed in a small
space. The dehydrated product will
keep Indefinitely and can be shipped
to all parts of the world. This pro-
cess conserves surplus food, because
it eliminates loss by decay, rotting,
freezing shortage in transportation,
high freight rates and climatic con-
ditions. !.
A dehydration plant, such as Monet
will build, will employ large number
of womc.l and girls as well as men.
Good wages are paid and work is in
sured the greater part of the year.
All the products used by the plant
will be home products, all the money
paid out for supplies to go to home
people. The large weekly wage will
practically all be spent in the town,

"A PAIR OF COUNTRY KIDS

A home talent play given by the
young folks Of the Macedonia Sunday
school at the Macedonia church house
Saturday night December Bird made a
big hit with the few who brayed the
rain, snow and wind storm that ragged
Saturday night.
The play was given for the benefit
OF the Sunday school and church. Ths
crowd was a,-disappointment to the
producers Of the play as only $14.3n
was taken in at the door, and after
the expenses of producing the play
was taken out only about $500 were
left.
As there have been numerous re-
quests from those present Saturday
night, as well as from those who
were prevented from attending by
the bad weather, that the play be
reproduced, it has been decided to
give the play again Saturday night,
December 10th at the same place.
This gives those who wished to see
the play and were disappointed by the
weather another chance.
"A Pair Of Country Kids" is a
comedy drama in four acts, contain

Market News

NEW YORK. April g. - The brief session of the stock market today calls for no extended comment, deal- ings falling to nominal proportions. The few changes were without inn portance and resulted mainly from week end short covering.
 Rails of the more acceptable type and several of the prominent indus trials and food issues were again under moderate pressure, notably Pennsylvania, which registered q new low for many years at 32ss.
 Oils and few affiliated issues. also motors and equipments, were rela- lively firm, but the movement was exceedingly contracted, many popu lar issues remaining unquoted. Sales 1S5.0O0 shares.
 The bond market reflected the sluggish course of stocks, an irregu. lar tone prevailing among Liberty issues and most other domestic bonds. International issues were featureless. Total sales, par value, s4.325. 900.
 Features of the weekly clearing house report included an actual de- crease of slightly more than s30,000.- 900 in holdings of members at the Federal Reserve bank and a con- traction of nearly s90,000.000 in net demand deposits. Cash holdings de- creased about s1S.6O0.O00, leaving a deficit of s4,331, ,320 below legal re- quirements.
 General news embraced the weekly surveys of business conditions by trade authorities and the March ton mage report of the United States Steel corporation showing a further reduction of about 650,000 tons in un- filled orders. Bookings now in hand of 6,284,765 tons are the smallest since | September, 1919.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL REPORT

NEW YORK, April g. = Foremost incidents of another reactionary week in the stock market included the be- wildering movement of money rates. the increasing gravity of the British labor situation, the more precarfous position of the railroads and further revision of estimates affecting earn ings and dividends.
 Rates for call loans rose to high est levels in many months after re- laxing to longer extensions for re- newal in more than a year. The sudden advance coincided with heavy withdrawals of local reserves by interior banks.
 Spread of the British coal strike gave a sharp setback to exchange rates and threatened serious eco- homie disturbance to oAnglo-American trade.
 Proposed investigation of the trans portation systems by the senate and further indication that the admins tration is giving this problem earnest consideration afforded no perceptible relief to railway securities, some new minimum quotations being made by high grade stock and bonds.
 The coming week, it is believed. will witness significant developments ir the steel and iron trade. Informed opinion IS that tH6 QDlteO states Steel corporation will soon announce reduced price and wage schedules and that Independent producers vii order moderate upward readjust- ments. This course is indicated by advances made by the Republic Iror and Steel company.
 l In other and scarcely less impor. 1 tant, branches of industry tendencie: are almost wholly towards lower schedules. Adverse financial state ments and more dividend omission. seem inevitable to foreshadow an ex. pansion of the price deflation move. ment. Discussions having for their pur
 pose extension of foreign commercial
 credits were held recently. Nego tiations are likely to remain tenta
 tive, however. pending more settled
 conditions.
