CONFERENCE WITH
FRISCO OFFICIALS
Order Moving Frisco Shopmen from
Monet to Springfield Held Up
For Present.

A committee from the Monett Com
mercial Club went to st. Louis, Mon
day night to confer with the Frisco
officials in regard to recent order
which would move the car repair de-
partment from Monett to Spring
field, which would affect more than a
hundred men at this place. The Com
mittee was composed of the most sub
stantial and influential men in the
town IS. A. Chapel, Pat Martin and
w. w. Lehnhard. They were ac-
companied by E. E. Mcclure, superin-
tendent of terminals for the Frisco
at Monet.
The result of the conference was a
postponement of the enforcement Of
the order, pending further investiga-
tion and consideration of the different
matters involved.
The committee was given courte-
GUS hearing by President Kurn, Vice
President Z. A. Hamilton, General
Solicitor Evans and others. The con-
ference brought better understanding
between the parties concerned and the
committee reports that the Frisco
officials show desire to give fair
treatment to all. However, they are
asking that certain conditions be COM
piled with by the people of Monett.
These have not been made public, but
the committee reports that the Frisco
is asking nothing that is not fair and
reasonable, and that Monett will be
able to meet the conditions if they are
willing to accept the terms.
The officials showed that the car
repair work, especially that of the
refrigerator cars, could be done
cheaper at Springfield. They have
contemplated the change for some
time, in fact, have given previous or
ders for the removal of the car repair
men, which were afterwards rescind-
ed.
The committee, while appreciating
the Frisco's viewpoint, showed that
the removal would be a hardship on
their employees, most of whom have
families and many of them own their
own homes. They also endeavored to
show the officials that the town is
not disloyal to the Frisco, but on the
contrary appreciates the fact that the
Frisco has made the town what it is
and that they wish to promote the !
interests of the company in every way (
possible.
A mass meeting of citizens will be
held at the city hall at o'clock Fri
day afternoon, at which time the
committee will report the results of
their conference.

Mr.. George Carter. Editor The

Ny Dear Mr.. Carter: We beg to
express our appreciation for your
editorial IN your paper OF March %
relative 10 our honor system at the
New Castle county workhouse. Your
words OF encouragement are no
small stimulus to our energies as we
go forth each day performing our
respective duties. The boys read
your editorial with a great deal Of
pleasure and satisfaction, as 1t is
only by such people as yourself that
we can hope to win over here-and
believe we are going TO win, as our
Honor System Is based entirely and
absolutely on the Bible; namely, the
Golden Rule.
During the past year nearly a
thousand prisoners have been re-
leased from this institution and only
about ten returned. Notwithstanding
the hard times. This I consider a
remarkable record. due, l think, to
the encouragement from the good
people who have visited this insti-
tuition from time to time, giving our
inmates the hope. a true impetus,
for better days 70 come.
Relative to the recent escape OF
George Cox. one OF our TRUSTEES, It Is
nv opinion that ne intended TO re-
turn but was so closely searched for
by the police department OF VII
mington and many former inmates
that he was apprehended before he
could get back. This man would
never have left here n II had not
been for n certain colored woman
living IN High street In Wilmington.
what few escapes we have had here
have been due TO the bad influences
OF bad women. which seems to he
the root OF most OF all evil OF the
men incarcerated here, together
with dope and hootch. The three
seem to go together.
The greatest menace have In this
ian. which ! consider the only men
ace. IS having men and women un-
der the same roof In visual contact.
II is an absolute curse TO this insti-
tuition. and It Is only through the
marnifcent discipline here. due 10

nons do not create violent OUT
breaks.
I sincerely hope that you will use

BLOW ACRD OF STUMPS
Next Governor Touches the
Electric Button Yesterday
at Clearing Demonstration

A solid acre of stumps on the
Radcliffe Bros. farm northeast of
the village, was blown up yester-
day afternoon at one charge. 1t
was we'll worth the time spent in
witnessing the demolishing of over
n hundred of big hardwood stumps
at one pressing of the button.
Several hundred people who had
driven out to the farm to see the
demonstration of stump pulling
machinery and dynamite, stayed
until the big affair" was pulled
about five o'clock.
Next Governor" Morgan. after
his talk to the farmers in the
field, pressed the electric button
on the acre tract. One great up
heavl, and every stump on the
acre was ready for burial.
The demonstration is proving to
the farmer two things, one is that
dynamite in most every case has
better result than the power
machine which pulls the stump
out of the ground with a mass of
earth hanging to its roots. As one
farmer stated yesterday after the
caterpillar had yanked out a big
hardwood fellow: Now what are
YOU going to do. You have the
stump and a big bunch of earth
and a hole in the ground. After
you get the dirt shoveled back in
the hole, how are you going TO
move the stump"
But at that, with the likes and
dislikes for either machinery or
explosive TO lay low the monster
stump, both are necessary in clear
ing the land and blowing it after
ward, and the demonstration but
shows you what fits your own in
dividual case.
Tomorrow the demonstration
will clear and blow an acre of
stumps on the Frank lnparg farm
east of the village. From there
they will visit many other com
munitieS in the county, giving
every farmer a chance to learn
how to get from under the stump
situation, and produce cleared
acres.

Would Mean Big Money.

If Jackson county were TO fence
in its blueberry patches and charge
an admission fee to all pickers
who come from other sections. it
would have a large revenue, especi-
ally if the fee was made very
heavy. The blueberries have a
wide reputation, and people are
coming from long distances to
pick them. Saturday was a good
day for the eXcursionists, and that
evening many cars passed thru the
city bearing hundreds of boxes
and other receptacles which the
visitors had filled with the per
feet pie fruit. There may be
other spots in Wisconsin where
there is such a delicious wild fruit
so abundantly distributed, to be
had for the mere picking and TAX
ing away, but not many.-Black
