OldDogs Knou
Tricks Young
Must Learn

Spotter was growing old. HIS
keen eyesight was beginning to
fail. His joints were getting
stiff. He spent most of his time
lying in the sun or curled up in
front of the fireplace.
"I'n have to get a new hunt
ing dog" said Mr.. Allen. Spot
ter is too old for active work"
So Major was brought to the
Allen place. Major was a spir-
tied young dog, very sure of
himself and inclined to be
cocky. Spotter treated the new
conner very coldly. The old dog
had dignifled manner that made
other dogs keep their distance,
and Major, after a few attempts
at Shaping him on the back"
dog-fashion. learned to regard
Spotter with respect.
The first time Majors master
took him on a hunting trip. was
very hard on Spotter. The ofo
fellow followed Mr.. Allen to the
gate hopefully and the mans
voice choked when he told the
dog to go back
After q while Miss Alice, Mr..
Aliens daughter. came out, car
rying her little rifle. Come
along with me, Spotter," she
said kindly. I'm going over to
the woods to practice shooting"
Spotter pricked up his ears when
he saw the gun. and he trotted
along.
But he was disappointed. All
Miss Alice did was to put a tin
can on a stump and shoot at It.
Spotter roamed around restless
ly. Then he shifted. He shifted
again joyously. Miss Alice was
watching him and she followed
curiously. Then she gaspeo ana
steadied her gun. Spotter had
happened on flock of par
tridges.
NO luck today" called Mr..
Allen as he came dragging home
that evening. Major is active
enough, but not a good hunting
dog yet"
COME here and see what old
Spotter and I did" laughed Miss
Alice.
And Spotter stuck his head in
the air In a manner which said
very plainly, I'm not ready for
the shelf just yet"

Arnistice Day
Ends Grudge
Betueen Pals

An fall the school At Clinton
had been divided into two sides
Randy Hoskins and Bob Benton,
two of the most popular boys In
school, had Quarrelled at the be-
ginning Of the year. and every
one seemed to have lined up
with one boy or the other.
On the playground and ath-
letic field the trouble continued.
Members of one gang would
have nothing to do with the
other. Several times there had
been fist-fighting and some
older person had to interfere
The principal. who tried hard to
change the spirit of the school.
finally was in despair.
Then he went to see Randy's
older brother, who had been
overseas, and the two hit upon
. plan
Armistice Day the school
planned to have program.
Nearly everyone was to take
some part. An elaborate drill
was being planned, under the d.
rection of Randy's older brother.
The Bob Benton gang were
angry at having to be drilled
sy one of the family of their
rival. However, Bob, who had
lost . brother in the war, nnally
fell IN with the plan and helped
to prepare the program.
The program went OF like
clockwork. Just before the big
drill, which was to end the en-
tertainment, the principal stood
up and made a little talk on the
meaning OF Armistice Day. Then
He said, We have planned a lit
tie Armistice Day of our own, so
the big Armistice Day may have
a special meaning for us. Our
armistice il to last for a year,
and 1 am sure that at the end
of that time peace will be per-
manent"
Just as he finished speaking,
Randy Hoskins and Bob Benton,
grinning a little foolishly, step
ped out from their places in
line for the drill They shook
hands. while the whole school look
ed on in amazement. Then to-
gether they led of the drill.

HUSH, KEEP STILL!

W. H. (little Billy Patterson left
Monday for Earl, Ark, where he will
visit for a few weeks with his three
brothers and enjoy his annual fishing
and hunting trip. He said before
leaving that he found some "stills"
down there last year, but he did not
know whether the stills were still dis
stilling their still there still. Furth-
ermore, Bill said if he found a still
still distilling its still, he would keep
still about it until he got away from
Arkansas. He says the officers in
Arkansas conduct a still hunt after
stills that still keep operating, and
this still hunting instills caution
among those who still have a craving
for this distilled products of the out

CURB PUBLICITY IN
DISARMAMENT DEBATE
Most of Sessions will be Behind Clos
ed Doors. Bulk of Work to
Committees.

Washington, Nov. 14.-The rea
work Of the armament negotiation!
was transferred today from the oper
conference to the more secluded
precincts of the committee room.
After a debate, which developed
widely separated views on the adj
visibility of giving publicity to the
negotiations, the "Big Five" com
prsing the chief delegates of the
United States, Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan, settled on the com
mittee plan as the only acceptable
solution. ........
TO one committee, whose member
ship will be identical with that of the
full conference itself, was assigned
the task of working out solution for
the far eastern questions. Another,
composed of all the delegates of the
five great powers, was created to take
over the negotiations of the main
topic of armament limitation. Since
only the delegates of the five powers
are qualified to act on armament limi-
tation in the conference, the result in
each case will be to resolve the dele
gates into committee of the whole
Although no official would make a
prediction prior to the assembling of
the "new committees" the presump-
tion everywhere tonight was that the
meeting would be held behind closed
doors and that the public would get u
glimpse of the proceedings only when
in their capacity as committeeman,
the delegates have an important de-
cision to report to the conference as a
whole.

DEHYDRATION MEN
INSPECT TERRITORY

The representatives of the Missouri
Dehydration Holding Company spent
their Armistice holiday touring the
district around Monett, Peirce City,
Verona and Purdy. They found many
idle acres of land and many needed
improvements. They also found tons
if foodstuffs going to waste for want
of market.
However, by another Armistice
Day, we expect to see a wonderful
change, the same as has been seen
in other districts where dehydration
plants have been installed.
Mr.. Edmonds said: f" We find that
this district has golden horseshoe
laying on the ground without nail.
All it needs to put the nail in it is
INTEREST, making it possible to
keep our children at home to till our
soil, instead of leaving home, seeking
means of support; making it possible
to live up to the highest standard of
living and taking money to the bank,
instead of taking paper to the bank
and taking money away which must
be returned" --.-

Many Monet People in Poor Health
Without knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who
drag out miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression,
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work of filtering the
blood and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys, as-
sist them in their work-give themtha
help they need. You can use no more
highly recommended remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed by
people all over the country and by
your neighbors in Monett. Ask your
neighbor!

move because of the sharp, cutting
pains which darted through me.

MONETT TEAM TO
MEET FOSTERS MEN

Springfield, Nov. 14.-Greatly en-
couraged after ragged early-seasor
play by their remarkable showing
Friday against the young college
eleven of Little Rock high school, who
took the locals measure, 40 to Z
Coach Allen Fosters high school
football squad will begin practice this
afternoon on Drury field for their
game here Friday with Monett high
/ school. The game is the only one
scheduled for local gridiron this
week.
Because of the close race for South
west high school conference football
honors this year, Fridays game will
be watched with great interest over
this section of the state. Monet high
has not been defeated this season, but
a defeat at the hands of Springfield
would cost them chance at the dis
trict title, for Carthage highs eleven
also has spotless record for the year
Carthage, which does not meet Mo
nett unless a post-season game for
the championship is arranged, will
probably not be defeated as her re-
naming games are against easy
teams.
Springfield has a good chance to
defeat Coach Engleman's team. Mo.
nett has an experienced eleven this
year, with four backfield men who
have been working together for the
past three seasons and a scrapping
line that has outfought everything it
has gone up against during the season
Coach Engleman has built up a
powerful offensive team around the
Reynaud brothers, his two backfield
stars, and his eleven has not failed to
score against any team in the con-
ference.
Monett's linemen, from tackle to
tackle, are unusually light. They are
heady football players, however, and
had enough fight to hand Joplin
Highs 170-pound line a beating when
the teams met. Monet took the
game 10 to O..

ANNUAL RED CROSS
.
ROLL CALL

The American Red Cross will cal
the roll of it's members for the fifth
consecutive year since it's reorganiz-
alton November 18th to oath this year
These members are annual, contribut-
ing, sustaining, life and patron. The
fees are; for Annual membership is
$1.0O; contributing membership, $500
sustaining membership, $1,000; life
membership, $4,000, and patron men,
bership, $4,000. Fifty cents out of
the membership fee for the first three
classes of members goes to the Ma
tional association for current expen-
ses. The remainder stays in the
Chapter in which the member is en-
rolled. Life and Patron membership
fees as a whole go to the National
Red Cross, because that is perman-
ent organization, whereas the local
Chapters may or may not be perman-
ent.
AL the money raised in communi-
ty is used in that community for the
various lines of work which the Red
Cross Chapter in that community has
undertaken, or is planning to under
take. 1t is through membership dues
and donations that local Red Cross
work is financed, according to official
Cross in Washington. The twenty-five
cents out of each membership sent
to the National organization pays for
national work, such as disaster relief,
foreign service, and current expenses.
The life and patron membership fees
go TO the National Endowment Fund,
by which the American Red Cross is
maintained on a permanent basis.

JUSTICES MAY TRY
"DRY" VIOLATORS
Opinion is Received by Prosecuting
Attorney o. J. Page from At
torney Generals Office.

Springfield, Nov. 15.-One more
chapter in the already large volume
concerning prohibition enforcement
was added yesterday afternoon in q
communication received by Prosecut-
ing Attorney o. J. Page from the of
flee of the attorney general of Mis-
souri, at jefferson City. The COM
munication is to the effect that
justices of the peace may try vio-
lators of the state Volstead law and
also may issue warrants for the
search of homes and other buildings
by officers in pursuit of contraband
liquor.
Mr.. Page has held for some time
that justice of the peace courts had
jurisdiction in liquor cases, but there
has been a very general opinion that
jurisdiction in such cases was con-
fined to courts of record.
1t is said by attorneys that the pro-
hibition enforcement statute very spe-
officially sets forth that warrants for
the search of homes may be issued
only upon proper showing before a
court of record.
The contention of Attorney Marsh
all Campbell, special assistant to the
attorney general, however, is that this
provision in the state law is merely
"definitive and not at all directory or
mandatory"
The opinion holds that there is
nothing in the prohibition law which,
either by direction or by implication,
states that justices of the peace shall
not have jurisdiction in trying liquor
cases.
Under this opinion it is said that a
justice of the peace, upon what he re-
CARDS as "good cause" is entitled to
issue a warrant that will permit any
officer to enter any home at any time
in search of liquor or appliances used
in the manufacture of liquor.
