MARRIAGE LICENSES

Reed was said to have worn pair OF
such leggings on that day.
Regarding a pair of trousers found
in the wrecked car the day following
the robbery, Reed said they once be-
longed to him, but he gave them to
a relative a year ago. subsequently
the relative named McComas, testl-
fled that he had done some repair
work on the car and left the trous-
ers in it.
The Jury deliberated more than an
hour, and finally returned verdict
of guilty, with a sentence OF twenty
years. The reason ascribed Tor as
sessing longer term for Reed than
for Amos was he was an officer and
had violated a public trust.
The arrest of Burl Reed in the rob-
berry case created great sensation
at the time. He had made a fearless
official as deputy sheriff and was be-
ieved to be a reputable citizen. He
put up a hard fight to establish his
innocence and engaged some of the
best counsel in the country. He was
represented in the trial by Purl Deck
er, of Joplin; j. E. Safer and Emory
Medlin, of Monet and D. H. Kemp, o.
Cassville.

STATE BUREAU WILL
QUOTE STRAWBERRIES
Missouri Marketing Service viii
Send Reports on Daily Values
Upon Request.

The State Marketing Bureau at
jefferson City has announced that
a market news office will be located
at Monett during the strawberry
marketing season this year. The Mo-
nett office will be operated co-oper-
atively by the State Marketing
Bureau and the United States Bureau
of Markets. This market news SER
vice is very valuable to strawberry
producers in the marketing of their
crop. Daily market reports are furn-
ished free of cost by the State and
Federal Marketing Bureaus to all
producers and shippers of straw
berries.
The reports show the daily carlot
shipments of strawberries from each
of the states shipping Strawberries at
the same time south west Missouri
is marketing its crop, including Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Kentucky, and others. The
reports show what prices are being
paid for Strawberries by buyers to the
growers at the shipping points in
other states. They show the destin-
ations of all of the carlot shipments
from Missouri and Arkansas, which
enables the shippers to avoid sending
too many cars-e of berries to few
markets and helps them to know what
markets are scantily supplied with
berries. Finally, the reports show the
prices being paid for berries on all of
the large markets like St. Louis,
Chicago, Kansas City, Detroit, Toron-
to, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, etc.
Owing to shortage of funds the
Federal Bureau of Markets did not
operate a market news office on
Strawberries in Southwest Missouri in
1920. In 1921, however, the State
Marketing Bureau at Jefferson City
took the matter up with officials at
Washington and secured the establish
ment of an office at Monett. The
State Marketing Bureau paid fifty per
cent of the operating cost of the office
By paying an equal amount this seas
on, the state and federal bureaus have
already agreed to establish market
news office at Monet. The Ozark
Fruit Growers Association and the
Frisco railroad have communicated
with the State Bureau at jefferson
City urging the establishing of the
service for the berry producers.

MANY BONUS APPLICATION
BLANKS FILLED OUT

The local American Legion Post
officers and members were busy all
day Thursday and until IL o'clock
that night filling out application
blanks for the ex-service men to send
in to get their bonus. They are
sending out blanks to Cassvllle, Sc
ligman and Purdy, also, as the blanks
for those places have not yet been re-
ceived from headquarters.
Z. M. Price, Post Commander, is
very anxious for all the ex-servlce
men in this territory to come in as
quickly as possible as each days de-
lay may mean two or three months
delay in getting the bonus money.
The high school furnished its best
stenographers from the Commercial
Department to assist in the work
Thursday and more than one hundred
applications were sent in. A notary
public is at the y American Legion
rooms from 7:30 until 9:3O every
evening to make the necessary afti-
davits.
1t is estimated that 100000 OF the
state bonus money will come to this
community.
The American Legion is handling
the bonus applications at considerable
trouble and the ex-service men who
have not joined the organization
should appreciate what is being done
for them and assist in the good worl
they are doing by joining the loca
post. The dues are only $500 yeal
and is a small price to pay for the
benefits received through this channe
