PERMANENCY IN INDUSTRIAL
GROWTH COUNTS

A good industrial prospect is a
thing of value and one method to
promote the growth of a city is to
secure new industries and to get
them located in permanent way.
The business people of Monett,
through their Commercial Club,
recognizing the Importance of indus
tries in the city, two years and half
ago secured the Obermann overall
factory for Monet. To get this con-
cern it was necessary to promise to
pay their rent for a period of five
years and a number Of citizens
promised to furnish the amount
necessary.
As is often the case, some Of the
promoters became Indifferent ar.
about half Of them have fallen down
on their contributions and the rent
money has "corne up short" The
amount of rent is only $3.50 per year,
which is small amount considering
the advantages Of the factory to Mo-
nett and community.
Few of our citizens know that the
overall factory pay roll amounts to
.$35, 900 year. This amount is prac-
tically all spent in Monctt and the
citizens, both business people and
property owners, reap the benefit.
This is too big an enterprise to lose
through Indifference.
The people of Monett should see
that this rent is paid, according to
contract. If the original guarantors
are unable to continue to support it.,
others should take their places. If we
do not pay the rent the Obermann
people will have to do it and other
places are just waiting the oppor-
sunity to pay their rent for them, if
they could secure the factory for their
town.
Some people ask, "Why do we not
try to get shoe factory?" The only
thing in the way is the money. We
could get shoe factory Inside Of
thirty days if we would put up the
interest on a plant, which would
amount tc s280O year. But why go
out after other industries, if we fall
down on supporting the ones we al
ready have? A shoe factory would
employ no more people than the over
all factory does, but would cost US a
great deal more to retain.
1t is important to the future in
dustrial growth of Monett, that we
meet the obligation made to the over
all factory. Not until we do this can
we hope to bring other industries to
the town and it is up to us to make
the overall factory a permanent insti-
fution.

STREET SIGNS

One of the indications of finished
city, is the provision Of the necessary
signs at the intersection Of streets
Here is progressive job which many
civic organizations are taking hold OF
They find that many street intersec-
tions have nothing to show a stranger
what the streets are. This is confus-
ing to a visitor who is trying to find
his way, and it gives an unfavorable
impression.
A town poorly provided with such
signs looks ike one to which strang-
ers rarely come, which if signs are
provided on all corners, it indicates
a municipality that is doing its best
to keep up to date and present an at
rractive appearance to outsiders

MONETT DOCTOR ENTERS
RACE FOR CONGRESS
DR.. Copeland Announces on a 'Wet''
Platform, Fayoring Permission to
Physicians to Prescribe Whis-
key and Alcohol.
From the Joplin Globe, June 1.

| ~- .f
From the Joplin Globe, June 1.
'T'm wet man and against sucf
prohibition as provided for in the
present government regulations"
That's the way DR.. Carlos Copelanc
to Monett replies to interviewers
questions as to his position on the
liquor. question, since he has formally
entered the race for the democratic
nomination for representative ir
Congress from the Fifteenth Missouri
district.
Dr.. Copeland formally entered the
race Saturday by filing with the Sec
retary Of state.
A platform favoring light wines
and beer in unlimited quantities for
anybody with the thirst and cash, and
modification of the Volstead law
so that physicians may prescribe alco-
hol and whiskey for medical purposes
as they see fit, is the one DR.. Cope
land has chosen to pave the way for
a seat in the house.
Il stand for light wines and beer
at all times" he said yesterday in
defining his position when in CONVEX
sation with reporter for The Globe.
II desire it distinctly understood that
I do not favor saloons, nor do l favor
the moonshiner and bootlegger.
Il want to see every man or woman
rich and poor alike, able to get wine
and beer when they want it. Let
them have it in their homes at all
times, If they desire. -s--s---
Il also am opposed to a law that
fixes the number of alcohol and whis-
key prescriptions physician may
write for patient. If elected, / shall
advocate a modification of the Vol
stead law so that physician may
prescribe as much of these liquors as
he desires, so long as it is for medi-
gal use" r--.--~
DR.. Copeland was asked how many
prescriptions a physician is allowed
row.
Il don't just know the number"
he replied. "You see l never have
been granted a permit to write liquor
prescriptions. l aroused the ire of
government officers nearly year ago
when I criticized the dry law and its
because they refused to
let me have whiskey to be given 2
child after it had swallowed carbolic
acid. / have twice tried to get per-
NIT, but they turned me down both
times"
So, DR.. Copeland proposes to go to
and have the dry law
modified.
DR.. Copeland says many eminent
physicians who attended the meeting
Of the American Medical Society at
St. Louis last week feel the same way
he does about the situation and it
was at their advice that he entered
the r>ce for congress.
''They all heard about me through
an Associated Press dispatch explain
ing my criticism of the government
officials when that child swallowed
carbolic acid" ne said, "and they COM
mended me for it. They are very
eminent physicians and urged me to
get into the race and see that the
law is changed"
DR.. Copeland is virtually unknown
IN politics.

zephine Humphrey Writes for Chill
dren's Aid Society.

Zephine Humphrey, the we'll known
novelist of Dorset, has recently con-
sented to assist with her eloquent pen
the publicity committee of the YER
mont Children's Aid society, Inc. Her
first sketch based upon a study of the
literature, policy and working of the
society has been entitled: Pride in
Posterity' and will soon be circulated
as an attraetively printed leaflet. A
brief note by the president of the So
ciety formulates the question all who
read Zephine Humphreys sketch must
ask: "Vermont's historic heritage is
rich: What of the futuref What Of
the waits neglected homeless, exposed
to the perils and hazards of unguarded
childlaood7''
The Children's Aid society is well
equipped to answer this question, Its
question is: VIII the people of Yer
mont come forward now with $500
necessary to carry on the rest of the
fiscal yearg Or must the society mark
time and safeguard the interests OF
one hundred wards for whom food and
clothing, a sheltering roof and occa-
sional medical or surgical care, must
be provided
The treasurer of the society is Guy
W. Bailey, the president of the Uni
vcrsity of Vermont. To him all checks
should be drawn. Contributions may
be handed any director or agent of the
society.

CHLORINE GAS KILLS DOORS.
Many Experiments Show Process Is
Practical.

The problem OF getting rid of odors
from garbage and sewage disposed fer
'tilizer,s and similar plants, which gen
orally are public nuisance unless To-
Gated at isolated spots, has been some
what simplifed by the practical dem
onstration of the fact that minute
quantities of chlorine gas will efTec-
lively kill the noxious odors by the
construction of a compact apparatus
for its application.
As tanks Of chlorine gas, compressed
to liquid state, have largely replaced
chloride of lime as a means of puri-
flying water supplies, so these same
tanks are utilized in "gassing" bad
doors. The complete deodorized plant
consists OF one or more tanks of liq-
MD chlorine and apparatus for con
trolling automatically the flow of gas.
Two severe tests have brought con-
viction that the process is practical.
One of these took place at the Bar
rem island plant, wirre dead animals
from New York City are eremated.
The odors are carried off by means Of
a large stack. After il had been DEM
onstrated that the odors from this
stack, which are particularly often
sive.y could be completely overcome,
permanent installation of the sort
described was made.
The second test was made in getting
rid of sewer gas in Cleveland. The
city il planning a large sewage dis
possl plant on tie lake front near TIE
heart Of the city. and was faced with
the problem of getting rid OF the sewer
gas in an inoffensive manner. II was
finally decided to build an enormous
stack. 200 feet high. 70 carry the ras
to a height where il would not ne a
nuisance.
The efficiency Of the chlorine pro
cess was tested in this case by intro
ducing the gas into the sewer about
IS feet from the point Of discharge.
II was found that only = white haze
was left At the mouth Of the sewer
and this was entirely without odor. >
result Of this test. the plans for
the new plant have been modified. ard
