The body of Ermine Earl Hale, the first Franklin county boy to give his life for his country on the bloody fields of battle under foreign sun, was laid to rest in his native land Wednesday il. Nichols Chapel cemetery near Altus.
 Ermine was the son of MT. and Mrs. John iHale, of Altus. and was born April 16. 1898. He en- listed in the regular army April b. 1917. and was placed in 23rd Inf. He was killed at Chateau Thierry, where the Americans first stopped the victorious march of the Germans and hurled them back till their wanted armies lay shattered and pleading for mercy within their own borders. While Ermine's young life was snuffed out just a few minutes after he went over the top," his glory. and the glory of the other young boys who defeated the seasoned veterans of the Kaiser, will live forever.

Board of Commerce
 Approves Cass Road

The Ozark Board of Commerce heartily endorsed the movemen, launched by the St. Paul Noun tain Air and The Spectator for q good modern dirt road between Ozark and Pettigrew via Casa and St. Paul. At a recent meet ing they appointed g committee to take the matter up with Mad ison county authorities with the view of forming an organization to build the road.
 We believe this road will be the greatest thirg that could be done to develope a great fruit, dairy and live stock belt through out that beautiful country and would give this section a big part of the tourist travel.
 The Board also endorsed the idea of camp house for autoist, and have been estimating the cost of such camp house, equipped with the necessary conveniences, and are considering the available lots. We believe the Board will have this camp esta blished in the near future While one member had failed to read his Spectator, others commended the article favoring a camp which appeared in one of last weeks issues.
 They are boosting the dairy business. and are to issue an in vitation to all the cream shippers to meet at the court house Thurs day. Sept. P. to discuss the pur- chase of pure bred bulls to i'm prove the milk stock. and to make the meeting a pleasant affair re treatments will be served.
 Mir. Cummings made yer, interesting talk at last night meeting, in which he compare, the different breeds of cattle ant showed the most. economica method of breeding up milk cows He gave the Board some very valuable information.

The Salvation Army was the only organization on hand to offer assistance and cheer to job less ex-service men who paraded St. Louis streets appealing for work. A dozen lassies gave the paraders doughnuts as they marched.
 The men in the parade were those who two years ago return ed from overseas and on that occasion they were greeted by thousands of St. Louisans who provided bands and gave them a rousing welcome. When they paraded several days ago the only reminder of that occasion was the presence of the Salva tion Army.
 At the conclusion of the of the parade Mayor kieI addressed the men and later the Chamber of Commerce of St. Louis issued a statement saying that it would do all possible ,o obtain work for them.
