FULL HOUSE AT
SECOND PERFORMANCE

The second performance of ooh
Millie Wait a Minute" the home
talent musical comedy play staged by
Monett Chapter DeMolay, was pre-
sented to full house Saturday night
at the Rialto Theatre.
Like the first night, everything
went off splendidly; every character
part was acted to perfection and the
choruses were beautiful. The parts
were handled with almost profession
al skill.
An additional number was on the
program Saturday night that was not
given at the first performance. Miss
Opal Kring very gracefully danced
the Bubble Dance" with piano ac-
compartment by Miss Fern Breeze,
and violin accompaniment by Miss
Lorraine Kring. Miss Kring was en-
cored a number of times.
The play itself was not only a sue
cess, but the financial side also was
more than was expected. The boys
cleared $125.OO.

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 1910. What will be the result?
There is going to be a scarcity of
fruit in few years, therefore now is
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
plants, cherries, ornamentals and etc.

SPECIAL SERVICES
AT THE CHURCHES

Monet churches held special SER
vices Sunday night, and good crowds
are reported at all Of them.
At the Baptist church, a very sue
cessful three weeks revival meeting
closed with the Sunday night service,
Evangelist w. M. Martin preached
his most wonderful sermon ON that
night and left deep and lasting I'M
preston on his hearers. Mrs. Martin,
who had charge Of the singing DUR
ing the meeting, had a large chorus
at this meeting and the music was
most inspiring. A mans chorus OF
fourteen male voices gave a special
number. Thirty-nine additions to
the church were the visible results OF
the meeting and the entire member
ship was encouraged and inspired by
the spiritual sermons by the evan
gelist.
At the Presbyterian church on Sum
day. evening, the choir gave a can
tata, "The Good Shepherd" with
organ accompaniment by Mrs. Shipley
The music was beautiful and every
selection was well given, showing
careful preparation.
At the Methodist church, the Mo-
nett Boys Band played and there were
other musical numbers and readings.
The program was very interesting
and the boys played excellent music
as usual.
At the Christian church Rev. w. A.
Burrus preached the last Of series
Of very interesting discourses on the
book Of Revelation.
Rey. Foster, Of Carthage, priest in
charge Of st. Stephens Episcopal

OPERATIONS RESUMED
ON JENKINS WELL


Operations have been resumed at
the Monett-Jenkins well after
shutdown of several days on account
Of lost tools in the hole. Only thirty
minutes was required to fish out the
broken stem and bit from the well
when the proper tools arrived for the
work. However, much delay was oc-
casioned on account of the wrong
tools being sent. Monett is so far
away from the field that it takes
time to get tools when a breakdown
occurs. Some oil has been encoun-
tered and the hole was bailed dry last
night and the formation carefully
tested out but it is not the intention
Of the management to shoot the well
at this time. Indications lead Off
cials to believe that only from fifty
to two hundred feet is necessary be-
fore large sand will be encountered
that will give good run of oil worth
while.
R. O. Bodine, President of the Bar
ry County Oil and Gas Co., has re-
signed his position as Trustee of COM
pany and left Saturday night for the
Kansas fields where he has large oil
interests. Pressing business Of his
own made this step necessary. He
retains his interests in the company
but will not be active in the manage
ment of the company in the future.
Before leaving Mr., Bodine stated
positively that he believed good oil
well would be found on the present
location at Jenkins and that Monett
would soon become a real oil town.
E., l.. Thomas, Cashier of the Bank
of jenkins, takes over the Presidency
of the Barry County Oil and Gas Co.,
and will be the future head OF the oil
company. 7. +. Denman, Vice Presi-
dent of the Company and Geologist
remains with the firm.
