CARTHAGE BOOSTERS
VISIT MONETT

The Carthage boosters visited Mo-
nett Friday on their sociability tour
through this section of their trade
territory. They arrived here for
luncheon being about an hour behind
schedule.
Following luncheon they gathered
at the corner of Fourth and Broadway
where they were given a cordial well
come address by F. P. Sizer. Eugene
Roach then took charge and intro
duced the different speakers, all of
whom had as their principal theme the
Southwest Missouri Fair, which is to
be held at Carthage August l to a.
j. D. Carter, ex-mayor of the town
told of the wonderful building ac-
tivities of Carthage for the past two
years in which they built big hotel,
theatre, factories, schools, a memorial
hall to seat $500 people and spent
100000 in building concrete road
ways. Speaking of the Southwest
Missouri Fair, he stated that it was
founded twenty years ago by Ed
Knell, and that it had been fostered
by the Knell family ever since and is
now a great indication of the pro-
gress of this section in agriculture
and stock raising.
Joe j. Manlove was the next speak
er and he was followed by James
Tatem, of Anderson, who was guest
Of the Carthage delegation.
Miss Emma Knell, secretary of the

DAILY TINES ENTERS ON
FIFTEENTH YEAR

Today, July Z, the Monett Daily
Times enters upon the fifteenth year
of its existence. The birthday of the
little daily finds it in the best con
dition it has ever been in way of
equipment and patronage. While it's
growth has been slow, it has been sure
and no backward steps have been
taken.
The publishers seek to make the
Times reflection of the life of the
community in every line, giving the
news of Monett and vicinity fairly and
impartially. They also seek to en-
courage and promote every line Of ac-
tivity for the welfare of the citizens
of Monett and the surrounding terri
tory.
As an advertising medium The
Times is recognized as the best in any
town of it's size in Southwest Missouri
The liberal advertising patronage re-
ceived from Monett merchants and
foreign advertisers indicates their ap-
probation of the value of publicity in
The Times.
Within the last few weeks, valuable
equipment has been added to give bet
ter service to it's patrons. An Auto
caster advertising and cut service
furnishes illustrations to make adver-
tising more attractive and the news
feature more interesting. New type
faces, new job press and two new
Kimble variable speed motors in the
printing department, add to the eff
cheney, and the job work sent out from
The Times office is the best in work.

BOND MAY BE OBTAINED
FOR LAvANUS JACKSON

A legal battle to obtain bond fol-
Lavanus Jackson, charged in Law
renee county with the murder of At
torney J. B. Tillman, March 18, has
been in progress before Justice Nc
Guffin at Aurora this week, following
second preliminary trial of Jackson.
Two or three hearings have been
held, the last being yesterday when
Justice McGuffin announced the TAX
ing of the matter under advisement
until July IL.
Tillman was killed in the circuit
court room at Mount Vernon while
he was opposing parole for Jackson
in bootlegging case. He was at
tackled by Jackson and others, it is
alleged, knocked down and kicked on
the head. He died soon after the at
tack.
Jackson was first held without bond
by Justice George Lynn at Mount
Vernon. Later the case was trans
ferred to Jasper county on change
of venue for the reason that Circuit
Judge Henson of Mount Vernon was
material witness and could not preside
in the case. The records of the pre-
liminary hearing were attacked by
Jackson's lawyers and another pre-
liminary hearing was secured. This
is the hearing that has been in pro
press this week,

Change in Attitude of Union Men
And Labor Board.

the strike Of railroad shopmen ended
tonight with union officials, railroad
executives and the United States rail-

ployes' division of the American
Federation of Labor, issued a state
ment disclaiming any further re-
sponsibility for the continuation of
the strike, and holding the railroads
and labor board to blame for the
length of time the walkout lasted.
Chairman Ben w. Hooper Of the
labor board issued an individual state
ment, in which he asserted that "the
only feasible way" for the shop crafts
organization to end the strike was to
follow in the footsteps of the mainten-
dllCS VI way OISdiiZdIlOll, WHO dRTE6u
to postpone their strike pending
further negotiations.
The railroad labor board also pass
ed a resolution today declaring it to
be the opinion of the board that a
carrier has no right to require an en-
ploye to perform work regularly
delegated to craft that is on strike,
unless the employe does this work
voluntarily. r
A decision in this matter was one
of the stipuations under which E. f.
Cradle, head of the Maintenance of
Way organization, agreed to With
hold strike orders, he having main
tanned that some carriers were dis
charging members of his union when
they refused todo shopmen's work.
From the headquarters of the shop
crafts organizations here tonight was

asserted that the first strike Of shop
men was 100 per cent perfect"

portance to me- And from now on, Mr..

q conversation in Spanish about the
most casual things, SO you viii simply
have to look as If you understood 1t
and smile occasionally. How wish you
both could speak 1t. It would make
things look more natural"
Perhaps 1 could help out little"
Katherine said modestly. II was on
a long case once in a Spanish family,
a young girl with whom I spent
months of convalescence, and 1 picked
up a fair working knowledge Of the
language, although I'm bit rusty"
Lillian gave her a searching glance,
and remembered the conversation she
had held in Spanish with Mr.. Cabi-
neros in the taxicab, when she had
naturally supposed both Katherine and
me to be ignorant of the language. Had
the two government secret agents-for
such was morally certain both Lillian
and Mr.. Cabineros were-talked of
things dangerous for anyone outside
the service to know? But in the next
instant the searching glance gave way
to a smile of approval, and saw Lii
liam give my brother-cousin's little
fiancee a surreptidous kindly pat on
the hand.
'eBravo!" she said softly-and in an
other moment the three We're engaged

tent, however, for she was absorbed in
keeping up her end of the conversation
Lillian wished carried on. But 1 had
nothing to do save to pretend to listen
to the others. and my eyes were free
to wander wherever they pleased.
They rested more frequently upon
Lillian's face than upon that of any
one else. And thus it was that I saw
a look of recognition and something
indefinable, flash into her eyes at
some one or something behind me.
She gave a quick, half involuntary look
at me, then as quickly averted her
eyes. and I realized that a throb of
excitement that the person she had
seen was connected in some way In
her mind with me.
Then next moment I understood the
look, when, accompanied by two 9TH
er men, there was ushered to a table
not far from us, and directly opposite
the one at which Grace Draper and
Harry Underwood were seated, the
man whom knew as-Ailen Drake.

his actions are good and honest and he

ciety." It looks to me that such talk
as this must come from a clouded mind
and, in other words, he turns the
church into a theatrical performance
hall This is certainly an insult not
alone to the First Christian church
but to all other houses of worship, and
cannot account for such party's
ideas, except that he is minus the
qualities that go to make up a Chris
tan. am sorry that good old Pensa-
cola has that class living here, for it
might lead some weak minded young
people to think as they think-to
transform the pulpit into a stage plat
form and have the young people per-
form and the ministers stage mana
gers, in other words, acting instead of
sermons, turning houses erected for
Gods worship into theatrical halls. I
hope and pray that every Christian
man and woman in this community
will stand up individually and collec-
lively ana exercise their great privi-
lege and work for the spreading and
teaching of the great command, Love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
soul and mind, and thy neighbor as
myself" and then such advocated
worship will have no influence in the
community. hope that my old sweet
heart Pensacola VIII never allow such
knockout drops to be given her, but
that all citizens will work together for
the uplift and eradication of all such
evils, and prove to the strangers and
homeseekers that come here that we
have clean city, and that Pensacola is
not only the oldest city but the clean
est in the United States.
