The policy announced by the Com

ers, to halt active public improve
ments for time until local conditions
are definitely settled, meets the ap-
proval of the majority of people. The
problems before our people may be
solved in short time, and little de-

able settlement the expenditure of
public money in any large amounts

PUT OIL IN WATER
METER BOX

Many mosquitoes are found in
water meter boxes. Edgar Masoner,
city water and light superintendent,
says that when the lids are taken off
the water meter boxes to read the
meter, swarms of mosquitoes come
out during the summer season. He
says good way to stop this is to put
oil in the meter boxes occasionally.
Each citizen who has water meter
in his yard should see tnat this is
done.

OBITUARY


Mrs. w. J. Mills, was born in Rogers
Ark, March IA, 1886 and died at his
home in Auburn, Wash, June 3, 1922
at the age of 36 years, 3 months and
days.
He moved with his parents to Mo-
nett in 1898 and lived here until 1905
Never being very strong, his parents
sent him to California, where he spent
two years, and returned to Monett for
awhile. In 1907 he went to Pasco
WASH, and entered into the service OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, as ticket agent. His health
would not permit inside office work
so he took up road work and was as
sistant yard master at Auburn at the
time of his death.
He was married to Miss Daisy Van
Ordstraud at Spokane, Wash, October
5, 1912, and moved to Auburn where
they made their home.
Fred's health had been failing
several mo nths, but he was always
bright and cheerful, never complain
ing and had a smile for everyone, and
while his family and friends knew
that he could not live long, his death
came as shock to them all, His sun
ny disposition and smiles won him
many friends. In his business life
honesty was his policy. He was loyal
in all his dealings, big hearted and
generous, unselfish and charitable to
others. He was an honored member
of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, be-
coming member of 3. of r. I. Lodge
No. 5t2 at Monett, transferring to
Washington Lodge No. 1854, of which
he was secretary and treasurer for six
years, holding that office at the time
of his death. He was also member
of the K. of P. and Order of Elks. He
was loved and trusted by all who knew
him.
Funeral services were held for him
at the Methodist church at Auburn,
Wash, June 18th, conducted by the B.
of R. 7. the pastor Of the Methodist
church preaching the sermon. The
body was then shipped to Monett and
taken to the home Of his brother,
Richard Mills, where another funeral
service was held, conducted by DR.. F.
f. Dobson, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, and George G. Wilhelm, Sec
retary of the Y. M. c. A., and assisted
by B. of r. I. Lodge No. 513, and was
laid to rest in the I. o. o. F. cemetery
June 16.
He was a devoted husband and low
ing son and kind and affectionate
brother.
He leaves to mourn his loss a host
of friends, both at Monett and Auburn
a wife, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. w.
] Mills, one sister, Mrs. Fred Salzer,
two brothers, Richard Mills Of Monett
and Frank Mills of Sapulpa, Okla.
Not dead to those who loved him.
Not lost, just gone before.
He will still live i'll our memory,
And will forevermore.
When the shades of night are falling,
And we're sitting all alone,
To our hearts there comes longing,
If he only could come home.
just within the garden, growing
Blooms the tree Of life so fair,
There the flowers bloom forever,
Death can find no entrance there,
There is life and love forever,
There is joy beyond compare,
Though our hearts may break with
sorrow,
BY the grief so hard to bear.
We shall meet him some glad morn
ing,
In the Heavenly mansions fair.

MUST
WAIT FOR GO
AGAINST GREB
Illness of Champions Wife De-
lays Genes Chance at Light
Heavy Title.
By ED. CURLEY.
International News Service.

AYEW YORK, Dec. Gene
~ Tunney, the A. E. F. light
~ heavyweight champion, is
at this writing. Gene was
to fight Harry Greb for
the American title, but the latter
will not be able to go through
with the encounter on account Of
his wife's illness. This means
that Tunney won't get his covet-
ed opportunity for many months.
In the meantime it is probable
Tunney will fight Tom Gibbons
the night he was scheduled to
battle for the championship.
Gibbons fought Greb few
months ago and received the past.
ing of his career. Greb mauled
and showed Gibbons around until
the latter wished he had remained
in ST. Paul. Gibbons is now try.
sey. which is farcical. He will
have to improve over his showing
with Greb to be given serious con.
sideration in a heavyweight battle.
Gibbons is big and old enough, but
gives every nulCdtlOn OF idCklnB
the real heart of a fighter.
Postponing forfeits TO fight a
champion isn't such a bad idea
after all. After Johnny Dundee
was proclaimed Junior lightweight
champion $4,000 was posted by Ed.
die kid Wagner, OF Philadelphia
for a chance at the crown. The
match lay dormant until Jack Bern.
stein loomed up on the horizon as
the proper candidate. Now to set.
tie the matter, Wagner and Bern
stein have been matched to fight
next month and the winner will
have a clear road to battle for the
Dundee royal raiment.
Though Mike O'Dowd showed
like a shell of his old self when
he beat Dave Rosenberg Thanksgiv.
ing Day there was not a soul
present that did not show elation
when Mike won the State middle
weight title. He showed he still
had the old spirit, but the stamina
wasn't present. This victory will
put him back in the limelight, even
If the daily is only short one.
