race itself. Warfare at first consisted
of throwing stones at the enemy or
hitting him with club.
The art slowly progressed. The
catapult was used for hurting good
sized rocks. and the bow and arrow
served its purpose in stand-oH COM
bats. Thus it went for many cen-
ttaries. Warfare consisted of ninety
per cent hand to hand work and per-
haps ten per cent of shooting from a
distance.
Along about 1345 an old monk found
that gunpowder when properly ignited,
gave vent to pretty good sized noise.
England and France were at war and
the new invention was tried out at
the battle of Crecy with the result that
the horses became frightened at the
"noiselike thunder Losses were heavy
and gunpowder was voted a success.
Warfare didn't advance greatly for
centuries. To be sure many improve
ments in guns and explosives were
made but the basic principle remained
the only way to put an enemy out
of commission was to hit him with q
projcctile.
On the morning of April q. 1915,
warfare was revolutionized when a
cloud of Chlorine gas was sent over
the Allied trenches wiping out whole
/ regiments. This experiment proved
so successful that the war, opening as

TO EXTEND CONCRETE
ROAD INTO BAXTER

Columbus, Kan, Nov. 15.-Bids on
a four-mile strip of concrete road
from Riverton to Baxter Springs,
known as federal aid project No. 142,
or the Riverton concrete road project
have been asked for by the county
commissioners. The date of letting is
December Is.
Last week, when the state highway
commission approved the plans for
the Riverton-Baxter Springs road, it
voted to allow $24,S0O of federal aid
to apply toward payment of the work.
The road, which is 1894 miles in
length, begins at the Military read
where the present Galena-Riveron
concrete road terminates, continues
west two miles and then extends di-
rectly into Baxter springs.
Plans call for an eignteen-foot slab,
with five-foot shoulders along high
hills, and four-foot shoulders on
ordinary grade. They also include
two rainbow arch bridges over Brush
creek and Willow creek.
The government pays so percent of
the cost of all bridges. Citizens of
Baxter Springs have agreed to pay
the assessment of the benefit district
and already have raised the money.
This amounts to 12.5 per cent The
township pays a similar amount and
the county 25 per cent.
When the project is completed, it
will provide concrete road from
Carthage to Baxter Springs, with the
exception of a short strip through the
city of Galena which, however, may
also be in concrete by that time, as
plans for that work are virtually
completed.

LIBERTY BOMBS OF t.t,
W. H. FLEMING RECOVERED

Constable Joe A. Jackson located
the Liberty Bonds stolen from W. H
Fleming November Z, and recovered
the same. He has not made public
where the bonds were found.
E. A. Tolliver, a Frisco fireman, is
in the Monett Jail on charge of steal
ing 5000 in Liberty bonds and SIZE
in money from Mr.. Fleming. All OF
the bonds have been recovered but
none of the money. Efforts to obtain
a confession from Toliver have so fai
proved unavailing, but circumstances
are very strong against the young
man.
He is known to have been driven tc
the Fleming home on the night of the
robbery on pretext of getting some
clothing which he said he left there
He told the driver to remain some
distance from the house telling him
that 1t was hard to turn around there
Returning to the car he explained
that he could not get his clothing as
no one was at home.

burlesque band was very laughable. A

WHEN TO GO HOME

Monett people have allowed tnelr
movie department to get mixed up
with the correct behavior at another
class of entertainment, as has been
evidenced several times recently.
Movie goers feel privileged to leave
the theatre any time during the per-
formance. Screen actors do not have
feelings, and no one is offended II
they leave during the performance.
When the actors appear in person,
it is a different matter and the per-
formers feel hurt when people IN the
audience leave during their program,
and think that their efforts are not
being appreciated.
At the "Mikado" entertainment
Thursday night, during a short inter-
mission when no one was on the stage
a part of the audience thought the
entertainment was over and got up
and left, missing some of the best
numbers.
The best is usually reserved for the
last and those who get in such hurry
to go home that they leave before the
performance is over or else start to
leave while the last number is being
rendered, lose the pleasing effect OF a
grand climax.
To prevent such mistakes, how
would it do for the management of ar
entertainment hall to insist that none
leave the room until the program is
concluded and to announce to the
audience when the final number ha;
been given. This would save the feel
ings of the entertainers and woul(
also keep the hearers from missing
the best part of a program.

HOW NOT TO TAKE COLD

Some persons are subject to fire.
quent colds, while others seldom, If
ever, have cold. You will find that
the latter take good care of them
selves. They take shower or cold
sponge bath every day in a warm
room, avoid over heated rooms, sleep
with a window open or partly open,
avoid excesses, over eating, becoming
over heated and then chilled and get
ting the feet wet. Then, when they
feel the first indication of a cold, they
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
without delay and it is soon over.
