NO ACTION ON POOL
HALL QUESTION
Legality of Action to Abolish Pool
Halls Questioned. Ordinances Pre-
M scented But Not Acted Upon.

At the regular meeting of the city
council held Tuesday afternoon, the
question Of passing an ordinance to
abolish pool halls in Monett was taken
up. Representatives of the Law En-
forcement League were present at the
meeting and considerable discussion
was had.
1t was stated that recent rulings in
the courts made it illegal for city to
abolish the pool halls by ordinance.
The contention was that so long as
they obeyed the laws regulating them
that they could continue to operate.
Two ordinances were up for consider
alton but they could not agree on
either one and steps will be taken to
iget together on another ordinance.
AS it now stands, it looks as though
regulation of the pool halls will be all
that can be done. An effort was
made to eliminate them from the city
entIrely, it being alleged that gamb-
ling was being permitted on the prem
ises Of the different places Of bust
ness. A majority Of the legal voters
Of the town signed petition to ask
the council to have them removed.

DON'T BE MISLED
Monett Citizens Should Read and Heed
This Advice.

Kidney trouble is dangerous and
often fatal.
Don't experiment with something
new and untried.
Use tested kidney remedy.
Begin with Doan's Kidney Pills.
Used in kidney troubles so years.
Recommended here and everywhere.
Ask your neighbor.
A Monett citizens statement forms
convincing proof.
It's local testimony--it can be in
vestigated.,
Mrs. Philip Steele, 1919 Fifth street
Monett, says: "I know of nothing
better for kidney trouble than Doan's
Kidney Pills. They certainly proved
their merit in our family. I used to
suffer great deal with backache and
sharp pains through the small of my
back. Ny kidneys would be out OF
order at these times and acted very
irregularly However, Doan's Kidney
Pills always cured me of these attacks
in a short time. I have always given
Doan's Kidney Pills to one of my
children when she has been bothered
with kidney trouble. They always
gave the same results"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills--the same that
Mrs. Steele had. Foster-Milburn CO.,

CATTLE TESTING WORK
TO CONTINUE

The State Department of Agricul-
ture has agreed to send another state
veterinary here to continue the tuber-
cular test for cattle in this vicinity
provided enough of the cattle owners
sign applications. DR.. Jones was un-
able on account of other work, to
finish the testing work here and DR..
Whitlock has applied for another man
to complete the test.
This work should be attended to
without delay. DR.. Whitlock asks
those who have already signed appli-
lations to sign another application.
Blanks will be found at his office. If
enough applications are not signed
he will be unable to get the veterin-
ary here. This is very important
matter and should not be overlooked

TEN GOOD REASONS FOR
SIGNING THE REFERENDUM
PETITIONS ON COUNTY UNIT

First Reason: The County Unit law
makes possible first class schools for
country boys and girls. If you are
opposed to good schools for country
boys and girls, sign the petition.
Second Reason: The County Unit
law equalizes the burden Of education.
If you favor rich districts paying a
low tax rate for schools and poor dis
tricts paying high tax rate, sign the
petition.
Third Reason: The Coanty Unit
law insures the same length of term
for each school in the Unit. If you
believe in providing a four-month
school for one child and an eight
month school for another child in the
same county, sign the petition.
Fourth Reason: The County Unit
law guarantees a free high school OPP
portunity for each boy and ,girl. If
you believe that the majority Of the
country boys and girls should not have
free high school opportunities, sign
the petition.
Fifth Reason: The present small
school district system wastes more
than $1,OOO,0OO each year in Missouri
thru the employment of more teachers
than are needed for the number of
children taught. If you favor the con-
tinuation Of this waste, sign the pc
tition.
Sixth Reason: The $1,O00,000 now
wasted annually would under the
County Unit Law provide high school
education for 10000 boys and girls
each year. If you think that these
10000 boys and girls should each year
be denied high school education as is
now the case in Missouri, sign the
petition.
Seventh Reason: The County Unit
Law guarantees better country schools
than we now have. If you think that
the country schools are good enough,
sign the petition.
Eighth Reason. The County Unit
means square deal for every boy and
girl. If you do not believe in a
square deal for every boy and girl,
sign the petition.
Ninth Reason: The County Unit law
passed in the interest Of better public
schools. If you do not believe in the
American ideal of free public educa-
ton for all children, sign the petition.
Tca..h Reason: Everyone knows
that hundreds of thousands of families
have moved from the country to the
city in order to secure better schools
for their children. If you want to
continue this movement, sign the pc
tition.
You desire to be fair, r,therefore, you
will not sign the County Unit petit
tions Committee Substitute fol
House Bill 1881 until you have read
and studied the law carefully.

Cambridge, Mass, June 7.--Win-

Several astronomers predict a
meteoric shower on June 27, as re-
suit of the comets approach.
