Local automobile dealers predict a
sales boom In motors this fall as a
result of the siN-day closed-car
show Of the Washington Automo-
tive Trade Association. which
closed at Convention Hall last
night.
Thousands of patrons crowded the
hall during the week. among those
being many from the STATS of the

ture Of the show which pleased the
patrons was the dancing on the main
balcony where the younger set whiled
away the hours as ma and pa
scrutinized the varied typed machines.
IL the prospective buyers list" of
the auto statesmen was slim before the
show. it has certainly fattened dur
ing the last week. according to one
official The closed car as a necessity
and not as a luxury was the theme
brought home to patrons.

pacity. Accompanied by the chief sur
geon Of the Frisco railroad he recent
ly visited all the more important his
pitfalls in the United States in order to
collect data Of the most modern
forms of hospital structure and ar.
rangements.
Architects are now working on these
ideas and drawing plans for the erec-
tion of building in Springfield that
will not only be adequate to take care
of all demands made en- it, but will be
a triumph of architectural art. The
surrounding grounds will be beauti-
fled and made into regular park.
The present plans contemplate room
for 140 patients, which will make 1t
one of the largest hospitals in the
United states.

COMMUNITY ROAD
IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
Kings Prairie Farmers Start Move.
ment to Build One Mile Gravel
Road Each Year.

An enthusiastic bunch of men or
Kings Prairie have organized the
Kings Prairie Township Community
Road Improvement Association, the
members pledging themselves to build
one mile of graveled road year.
The organization meeting was held
at the Kings Prairie school house on
February 23, and officers selected
were president, Frank A. Wightman,
vice president, Marion Tate; secre-
tary-treasurer, A. G. Anderson.
The mile of gravel road to be con-
structed yearly is to be by donation,
and will include the highway leading
to the Barry and Lawrence county
lines.
The first mile selected starts from
the county line and runs south to
Carter's store. Arrangements with
the Special Road District have been
made to place standard concrete water
ways and grade, the organization
members and friends to furnish teams
and men to cover the same with
gravel. This road leads to the old
Subway Ranch, now owned by H. G..
Cox and known as the Cox White
Face Stock Farm, real show place.
The Kings Prairie citizens have the
Ozark Playground spirit and one
mile of gravel road each year will soon
lift them out of the mud.
