DECISION DEFERRED IN
BRIDGE FUND CASE

The commissioners of Monett
Special Road District appeared before
Judge Henson in circuit court at CaSs-
vile Tuesday in the injunction case
against the county treasurer, enjoin-
ing him from paying to each road dis
trict the warrants issued by the
county court from the bridge and cul-
vert fund.
After hearing the arguments OF
counsel, Judge Henson decided to re-
serve his decision until after the su-
preme court made a ruling on the
case now pending in regard to the
above named fund of this county.
The county made 10 cent levy for
the building of bridge across White
River, after the voters of the county
had defeated a measure to vote bonds
for that purpose. The road commits
sioners contend that the money thus
raised should be apportioned to the
different road districts of the county.
The county court decided to yield to
their demands and issued warrants
distributing the fund as requested by
the commissioners, but citizens OF
Cassville protested this action by 1ssu-
ing an injunction against the county
treasurer to prevent his making pay
- - +boea xyarraDtS
The supreme court will make rul-
ing as to whether or not the 10 cent
bridge levy made by the county court
was legal.

HARDING WANTS PLACE
IN WORLD SHIPPING
President Tells Senate and House
That Only Three Courses of Ac-
ton Are Now Open.

Washington, Nov. 21.-President
Harding, in an address today to a
Joint session of congress, urged
speedy enactment of the adminlstra-
ton shipping bill, as means OF cut
ting down present losses through
operation of Government ships and
putting America at the forefront IN
the peace triumphs on the seas OF the
world"
At the very outset of the thirty
minute speech, the president declared
that those standing with him might as
we'll recognize that there "was divided
opinion and determined opposition"
It would be helpful in clearing the
atmosphere to start with the recog-
milton of this fact, he said, adding that
it was no new experience.
With great emphasis the president
challenged "every insinuation that
the bill was framed for the benefit OIL
"favored interests" or for the en-
richment of the special few at the ex-
pense of the public treasury. he de-
clared that first of all he was appeal
ing to save the treasury.
Calling attention to the hostility
in the public mind" to the word Sub
sidy," stressed he said by the oppo-
sition, the president asserted that
Government aid would be a falrer
term than subsidy in defining what
he was seeking to do for upbullding
of the American merchant marine.
"But call it subsidy since there are
those who prefer to appeal to mis-
taken Justice, rather than make frank
and logical arguments" he said. 1--WE
might so call the annual loss of fifty
million dollars which we are paying
now without protest by those who
most abhor, we might as well call that
Subsidy. If so, am proposing to
cut in half, approximately"
Discussing the problem confronting
congress the president outlined three
courses of action. The first, he said
was constructive, which embraced
passage of the bill; second, obstruc'
tive,-continued government oper-
alton and attending government losses
and third destructive, involving the
sacrifice and scrapping cf the mer'
chant fleet.

zens to "Give Thanks for Bless
ings and Mercies."

nation setting apart thursday, No
vember 80, as Thanksgiving day and
calling upon all Missourians "to re-
pair to their affairs of worship and
there render thanks to Almighty God
for His unfailing bounty" The pro-
clamation follows:
Whereas, by the reverent custom of
our forefathers one day in each year
has been set apart for and dedicated
to public acknowledgment and thanks
giving to Almighty God for His many
blessings and mercies to US as peo-
pie and,
Whereas, the president of the
United States, Warren G. Harding,
has officially designated and set apart
Thursday, November 80, as day of
Thanksgiving and devotion for the
year 1922, and,
"Whereas, in common with the
people of the other states of the union
the people of this state have been
blessed with bountiful crops, with
richness of natural resources and
wealth of material possession. Dur
ing the past year no war has disturb
ed us. No pestilence has affected us.
No national disaster has overwhelmed
US. Peace and plenty surround US.
1t is, therefore, appropriate that for
one day we lay aside our daily tasks,
humbly and reverently to give thanks
to our Creator and Supreme Ruler
for that He has showered upon us
| blessings and served US as people:
"Now, therefore, |, Arthur M.
Hyde, governor of the state of Mis-
souri,, acting in conjunction with the
president of the United States, do
hereby set aside Thursday, November
80, 1922, as Thanksgiving day, and I
earnestly urge the people of the state
of Missouri to repair to their affairs
of worship and there render thanks to
: Almighty God for His unfailing
bounty. 1t is also appropriate, that,
having rendered thanks for our ma
terial blessings and possessions, each
of us should give thought to the con-
dition of unrest and of class con-
sciousness, which is ominously grow
ing among our people and highly re-
solve that through the regeneration
of our own hearts we shall diligently
and patriotically labor during the en-
suing year for broader justice and
fraternity among all the citizens OF
our state and nation.

ernor."

TRITTON'S BUILDING
$4,000 GREENHOUSE
Modern Structure Takes Place OF One
Destroyed in Hail Storm. To be
Completed by Christmas.

Triton Floral Company, pioneer
greenhouse owners in Monett, Will
complete the construction of modern
greenhouse in short time and expect
Ia have it filled with blooming plants
before Christmas.
The new building takes the place OF
the one which suffered disaster In the
Easter hail storm and will cost about
100000 exclusive of plants. 1t will be
one of the most complete green
houses in this section of the state out
side of the large cities.
The Moninger Greenhouse Con-
struction Company furnished the ma
terial for the new building, which
came already cut and ready to be put
in place.
The framework is of steel and the
window sashes and other WOODWORK Is
all of cypress lumber, which is OF hgnt
weight and durable. Artie Triton Is
personally experimenting the con-
.struction.
The greenhouse will be in two con-
nected buildings. They occupy tloor
snace of about 80 by 1877 feet, and will
extend to the sidewalk on North Third
street, presenting beautiful appear
ance to the passersby.
One building is completed and Is
already filled with flowers and ferns
The second building is nearing COM
nletion. 1t will be used for growing
lettuce for the market, as we'll as Tor
flowers.
A new hot water heating system
has been installed. In the buildings
will be ventilators, operated by -four
machines, each of which provides tor
I2O feet of ventilation.
Mrs. Triton went into the green
house business twenty-seven years
ago. Her husband, C. H. Triton
built for her small greenhouse which
she operated for the benefit OF hei
nealIn. EONG was NCly SuNSSS''AN' ~
after her husband died, she continued
the business, which gradually gre"
and expanded until she supplied
market extending for many mile,
around.
She accomplished this by hard worE
study and experimentation. After mel
children grew up they helped her II
her business and are now able to looF
after it themselves, but Mrs. Trlttol
is still the active manager and con
tinually works among the flowers an'
plants which she loves so well.
The terrible hail storm OF las
Easter wrecked her building breaking
every pane of glass in the greenhous'
but Mrs. Triton, with characteristic
courage and ambition, went to worl
to build larger and better houses.

RAILROADS CONSIDERED
MERGER OF

Washington, Nov. 17--Whether
railroads in the
Northwest should be consolidated in
to two regional systems, one built
around the Great Northern and the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, and
the other around the Northern Pacific
and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
was taken up for detailed consider
alton at a hearing today before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Representatives of the chip group
including the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington, were given
the first opportunity to be heard, and
through Walker D. Fines, formerly
Director General of Railroads, they
Immediately attacked the consolid-
alton plan, which would result In a
separation in their present unified
holdings.
Commissioner Hall opened the ses-
sion was proceeding under the general
instruction of Congress to prepare a
consolidation plan that would combine
all the major railroads in the United
States into eighteen or twenty great
regional systems.
The commission, he said, had tenta-
lively proposed in the Northwest te
separate the Great Northern from the
present Chill" group, combine it with
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Pau
and thus create two strong systems II
the same territory.
"However," Commissioner Hail de
clared, "The commissions plan is mo-
to be taken as a prejudgment OF th'
situation"
Hines proceeded directly to al
argument for the setting aside OF TN
tentative plan of the commission. H'
was followed by Hale Holden, presl
dent of the Burlington, by Charlie
Donnelly, president of the Northern
Pacific, and by Ralph Budd, preslden
of the Great Northern. 80.
"The Burlington; Northern Pacitl
and Great Northern" Hines declared
"appear for the purpose Of shown,
THAT the general public interest as WEI
as the legitimate interest of thoS
+brea companies require that the llne
owned and controlled by them shoul
he placed in the same group"
