OFFICERS RAID

County Officers and Monett and Fris-
CO Officers Locate Two Stills
In Operation.

| Norman Sturgis and Paul Gottas
were arrested Sunday night on the
charge of manufacturing Intoxicating
liquor Stills were located and liquor
and mash were confiscated.
Night Marshal, j. L. Bland, has, for
some time been carefully and secretly
watching certain places where he sus-
pected Intoxicating liquors were being
manufactured and sold. Sunday night
he got busy and after getting SUI
cient evidence, about ten o'clock called
Sheriff Ed Roberts of Barry County,
to come to Monet at once, and he in
company with Deputy Burl Reed, az
rived in Monet about an hour later.
When they arrived, they went in
company with Mr.. Bland and Special
Agent of the Frisco, Mr.. Plumlee,
and when going to the home of Paul
Gottas, they made a search and locat-
ed about two bushels of meal mash
and fifteen gallons of first run whis-
key. l
1t appeared that Mr.. Gottas had
been tipped off, as the officers found
some mash that had been poured out
on the ground in an effort to dispose
of same before the officers got there.
This mash was still warm and steam
ing. The only part of the still the
officers could find, was the copper
worm secreted about an oil stove.
From there, the officers went to the |
'esidence of Norman Sturgis,, in the |
vest part of town, where they located |
,ver hundred gallons of mash. and
he complete still that held about
wenty gallons. Evidence indicated
o the officers that Mr.. Sturgis was in
he wholesale business, as he had
'reat number of bottles and jugs, and
ther accessories suitable to the busi-
ess.
This is the second raid that has
cen made OH Mr.. Sturgis' place for
quor. Prosecution was not continued
gainst him before, because the Off
ers were unable to find his still, but
MS time, the still was found and
rosecutions will follow.
All of these parties were called to
assville Monday to give their neces-
ary bonds, awaiting their trials.

GEORGE MEADoR RECEIVERS

George Meador, postmaster at La
Russell, has recovered from self-in-
flicted wound in his throat, which he
is supposed to have made with suicidal
intent last Thursday. 1t was at first
thought he would die from his wound,
but he was taken to the Carthage hos
pital for treatment and it was there
found that the cut in his throat was
not as serious as was first thought.
1T seems from accounts given by
residents of LaRussell that the post
office Inspector visited the LaRussell
post office Thursday and found a
shortage Of funds, amounting to about
$400. This is supposed to have led
Meador to the commission Of the at
tempt On his life. Some time since
the post office was robbed. This al

mind, although the loss was only about
500. srss Nv

CORN CHOP" MUST BE
REGISTERED

Jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 23.-A
ruling of the Missouri State Board
Of Agriculture has been issued, re.
quiring "corn chop" to be registered
under the Shannon-Glick feedingstuffs
act of 1917. This has become abso-
,lutely necessary to protect legitimate
millers as well as the buyers of live
stock and poultry feeds, partly be-
cause some mills and mixers use corn
bran and other by-products in corn
chop. "Corn chop" must be regis
tered and tagged the same as other
feedstuffs.
A number of mills and mixing
plants are reported as selling "corn
chop" without registering and tag
ging, and unless these are registered
Immediately prosecution must be in
stituted. There are no fees and no
tonnage tax in connection with regis
tering and labelling.

PLOT FOR WHOLESALE
ESCAPE is FOILED
"a Men Arrested at Jefferson City
When Guard Finds Sewer Pipe
Had Been Cut.

jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 22.-
1nifty-four men are under arrest
here as a result of the discovery of
a plot to make possible wholesale
escape of prisoners from the Missouri
penitentiary, according to prison
officials. The escape was to be made
through a city sewer which runs
through the prison and enpties into
the Missouri river. An opening had
been made into the sewer and prepar-
atlons were nearly complete for the
attempt at escape when the plot was
discovered. The names of the men
arrested have not been made public.
Discovery of the attempt was made
this morning by J. H. Creel, prison
guard. From the wall of the prison
he noticed vapor arising from q hole
in the ground which looked like a
Washout. Investigation showed that
an opening had been cut into the
sewer and section of gas pipe stuck
IN the opening apparently as marker
Prison officials believe that the
sewer, which is seven feet high, was
cut from the inside and that the men
who cut it, miscalculated the distance
and cut through outside the prison
lnclosure instead of inside as they had
to.
The thirty-four men held "for in
Vestigation" by the police here were
picked up in the railroad
yards and along the river 'front.'.

PLANS FOR OPERATION
OF Nj. & n. A.
Conference to Be Held in Washington
Tuesday When Proposals Will be
Taken Up to Restore Serv're.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Plans by
which 1t is hoped to bring, about re-
sumption Of operation Of the Missouri
& North Arkansas Railroad, closed
for more than month, will be con-
sidered here next Tuesday by the
Arkansas delegation and Festus J.
Wade, a banker of st. Louis.
"While our plans cannot be dis
cussed," said representative Tillman,
eve have one which we think offers
strong probability that operations of
the system may be resumed. Mr..
Wade represents many of the roads
bondholders at st. Louis. The line
extending from Joplin, Mo-, to Helena
Ark, has not been paying property,
but we think it possible to adjust mat
ters SO that large part of the
southwest section may not be much
longer deprived of freight and pas
senger service"
That eastern capital is behind a
move to revive operation of the de-
funct Missouri & North Arkansas
railroad is one of several beliefs that
have been expressed by interested
parties with regard to the above
conference at Washington,
it was learned last night.
This belief, according to Robert
Wilson, president of the Harrison,
Ark, Citizens Protective League, is
founded upon recent visit to the
NJ. & N. A. shops by a delegation of
of the Frisco railroad, head
ID by the roads chief executive.
The Harrison interests of the de-
unct road were thoroughly inspected
~ the officials, it was said, who in
ormed Harrison business men that
hey were making the survey for
some eastern people, who had re-
uested it."
1t has been rumored that the Fris-
o, branch line of which road the
1. & N. A. has used in operating be-
ween Joplin and Helena, is consider
lg purchasing the road.
Nothing further has been heard
rom Henry Ford regarding the pur-
1ase, of the road, it was stated.

THE SALVATION ARMY TO
SEEK FUNDS NEXT MONTH

Advisory Boards throughout Mis-
souri, Illinois and Arkansas will cam.
paign in October for funds for the
Salvation Army. The money will be
used for general relief work, fol
institutions operated by the Army and
for extending and expanding Army
activities.
An appeal to give literally has been
made by representative business and
professional leaders in the three
states. They point out that present
conditions demand that liberal contri-
buttons be made.
I'VE must prevent misery and make
impossible a dangerous situation
which may result from deplorable con-
ditions," said the appeal.
The outcome of the campaign will
determine the success or failure of the
Advisory Board plan. This plan
called for the organizing of relief
agencies in virtually every county Of
the country to cooperate with the
Salvation Army. To date 5000 adj
visory boards with membership of
10000 men and women, have been
formed. The Advisory Board plan is
one of the greatest welfare and re-
llgious movements ever attempted.
The campaign in the three states is
being directed from the St. Louis
headquarters of the Salvation Army,

A LUCKY DAY

The Horoscope" for September q
was "This is a lucky day. This
proved true at Monett. 1t was circus
day and was not malred by any acci.
dent or unlawful conduct so far as has
been reported.
The day was warm and clear.
People arrived in town early and
stayed late. Mayor Chapel and his
officers were on the street early to
look after close parking of cars in
order that room might be found for
all who came.
The people gave the parade plenty
of room and no extra police effort was
needed to keep the public off the
street. Although the road to the
circus grounds was an endless pro-
cession of vehicles and pedestrians
all day and until after the circus at
night, traffic regulations were strictly
observed and there was no difficulty
in getting in and out of the grounds.
ID. B. Meador parked about 800 cars
in his parking space. He had well
organized force to look after the cars
and see that none was taken out by,l
any one but the owner.
The circus itself was all that could |
'e desired and the parade delighted
he immense crowd which gathered
llong the line of march.
About 5000 people were present at
he afternoon performance and
ever number at night.

the Bible for passage but he said
"Mother I have one on card and it
is this, "Greater love hath no man
than this, that man lay down his
life for his friends" To day you
observe the fact that Russell Hobbs
