SERVICE ON M. & N. A. APRIL Is
Defunct Railroad Has Received Loan
And Will Resume Operations.

According TO the following story,
which appeared in yesterday morn
ing's Kansas City Times, the Mis-
souri, e. North Arkansas railroad will
resume train service April Is.
Washington, March 1.-THE trag-
edy of the railroadless towns and viii
lagos of Northern Arkansas on the
old NJ. & N. A. line soon will be over.
A decision by the interstate commerce
commission and the negotiation of a
large loan from the government yes
terday by Festus J. Wade, st. Louis
banker, that the Missouri and North
Arkansas would resume train service
April Is.
For months and months negotia-
tions looking to resumption of train
service over this road which suspend
ed last J,lly following several years
of financial reverses, coupled with a
bitter and disastrous strike, have been
under way. Several times 1t looked
as if they were completed and there
was premature rejoicing in the many
towns along the route that have been
left for the better part of year with
no train service.
But always there was some hitch
or some delay. With homes and
farms and investments all dependent
on revival of the M. & N. A. the peo-
pie along the railroad never lost hope
although times have been hard. 1t
has taken grit to stick it out.
First, the interstate commerce
commission announced its decision
approving the recommendations of
w. A. Colston, director of finance for
the commission, that the NJ. & N. A.
be given larger split in the point
traffic rates from the connecting lines
The decision held that the joint
rates had been unfair and unequal in
the past and had worked to the detri- /
ment of the M. & N. A. This order :
will mean between 100000 and
100000 more revenue for the little
road when its business gets back to
where it was before it closed down.
That is enough of an increase for it
TO live.
Second the long negotiations for
a government were finally completed.
The Missouri & North Arkansas is to
obtain 312 million dollars from the
revolving fund handled by the COM
merce commission, the loan to run ten
years and bear per cent interest.
This will take up the pressing obh-
cations and enable the road to get
back on its feet.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Monett people are not very we'll ac-
quainted with the public: schools o1
the town, but they are going to be
better acquainted after the special
school edition of The Times is off the
press.
The articles which have beer
brought to the publisher are all excel
lent and full of information. Even
the patrons Of the school who have
tried to keep in touch with school ac-
tivities will find that many things
are being accomplished in our excel
lent schools Of which they knew moth
ing.
School children accept school ac-
tivities as matter of course and
often do not think to mention the
most important things at home.
Our teachers are working along
broad lines in the education Of oui
children. We believe that the work
is more practical now than at any
other time in the history of the school
The boys and girl. are being prepared
for good citizenship in educational,
cultural, physical and moral lines and
self control is being emphasized in
many of the schools.
When the special edition is issued,
be sure to read every article. You
will be surprised and pleased with the
information you will receive. e.

RECITAL BY MISS
GRACE KEPNER

! 1t is indeed unfortunate for the
citizens of Monet that they have been
deprived of the pleasure and the in
spiration of Lyceum course this
year. However, real treat is in
store for those who enjoy entertain
ments of the highest order, on March
oath at the Presbyterian church, when
Miss Grace Kepner, teacher of express
sion in Drury College, will give a re-
cital. The entertainment will be of
unusual interest to the community be-
cause of the fact that this talented
and eminently successful young read
Ell formerly lived in Monett, and has
many friends here.
Miss Kepner is a recent graduate
of the Curry School of Expression, of
Boston. For her program here she
will give recitation of her gradu-
alton recital, an original arrangement
waiting list of girls who are asking
of Frances Hodgson Burnett's, "The
Dawn of a Tomorrow" Several
musical numbers by local talent will
be rendered, and altogether the enter
tainment promises to be one of the
most delightful affairs that Monett
people have been privileged to attend
this year.
The recital is sponsored by the Mo
nett Chapter of P. E. o. in the inter-
est of their Educational Fund. A
number of years ago, the p. f. 0.
Sisterhood, believing in the truth Of
the old saying educate woman and
you educate family; educate the
family and you educate the race" set
aside modest sum as nest egg for
"a loan fund to assist worthy girls in
obtaining college education. The
fund has grown to more than a.
hundred thousand dollars, and already
more than five hundred ambitious
young women have, through it, been
enabled to realize their dream of
adequate preparation for life of
service. At present there is long
for this assistance, and the Sisterhood
is making an earnest effort to in
crease the fund to two hundred
thousand dollars, in order 10 widen
the scope of its usefulness. The girls
are permitted to borrow from this
fund at a low rate of interest, and
are given five years for payment. 1t
is gratifying to note how little money
has been lost through the years by
the defaulting of P. E. o. benefic-
iaries. One young girl thus assisted,
after completing her university course
was awarded fellowship at Bryn
Mawr, and in April of this year was
one of five women to receive a
scholarship in the University OF
Sweden, remarkable
record of achievement.
Come out to the recital next Friday !,
night and have the joy of knowing
that you are contributing in very |
small way to the education OF some
but needy young woman.

CITY TO IMPROVE WATER
LINE TO MARSHALL HILL

The city offifials have made ar
rangements to replace the a inch
water main to Marshall Hill, with a
new inch main. The new line will
run from Sixth street to Marshall
Hill. The old line is in very bad con-
dition from long use and it is i'm
perative that new pipe be laid at once.
The larger size will give the Marshall
Hill people great deal better pres
sure than they now have.

JOIN THE TWO HUNDRED

Monet Commercial club is making
a campaign for membership of 200.
1t is important that the number in
the club be materially increased at
once and the live members of the cub
are working hard to get reinforce
ments.
There is before Monett number of
important propositions which can be
handled only through such club.
Those who stay outside and criticise
are working against their own good.
Cooperation of the citizens of the
town is necessary to bring to a sue
cessful conclusion an important pro-
ject.
In the past, Monett like many other
towns, has lost out on many public
enterprises because of cold water
thrown on a proposition by few
citizens, who not only will not help in
the work, but hinder by emphasizing
the drawbacks, without giving due
consideration to the advantages.
Nothing is going to fall into our
hands. If we want anything for Mo-
nett we must work for it--every man
doing his duty. If you want Monett
to advance, join the Commercial club,
act on the committees TO which you
are appointed and do not wait for the
other fellow to remind you Of your
duty, nor shirlxing responsibility. {

Jackson, Tenn, May 90. Back
to Thomas Jefferson aud sanity,
with more local seIf-government
aud less interference by countless
bureaus and swarms of inspectors
from Washington, opposition to
the corrective conditions imposed
on the States under the cloak OF
internal improvements, aud de-
cided stand against the soldier bo-
nus were the high notes here today
in the opening speech of Captain
G. I. Fitzhugh of Memphis, candi-
date for the Democratic nomina-
tion for United States Senator.
"We are literally governed be-
yond all reason" insisted Captain
Fitzbugh, 'and absolutely taxed to
death. We must stem this onrush-
ing tide of criminal folly"
Captain Fitzhugh said he made
no plea for the States rights doc
trine of sixty years ago. "That
was settled on the battlefield. But
what [ plead for now is the right
of State to exist. The Federal
government Is not only absorbing
the functions and powers. but oc-
cupying all the fields of revenue of
the States. Unless it is stopped
the States will soon become mere
revenue producing provinces"
He insisted that taxation was the
one great problem before the Amer
ican people today, declaring that
within the last 10 years the 100 bu-
reaus. committees and commits.
sions created by Congress have not
only cost the taxpayers seven bill
lion dollars, but their agents and
inspectors have annoyed and har-
'rassed the people almost beyond
endurance.
II pledge myself" he said, "to
the task of removing the strang-
le hold of bureaucracy from the
throats of the people.

paid the farmer for sugar beets DUR
ing the coming season will be from
$5 to So 30 a ton. The average pre-
war price with the tariff at l cent
was 80. 81, approximately the price
that will be paid farmers during
the coming season showing clearly
that the 60 per cent increase in the
tariff does not percolate through
the factory to the farmer.
Very few farmers grow wool, but
all farmers wear clothes. Ameri-
eau grown wool, the product of the
American farm. is one of the chief
rallying cries of the high tariff ex-
ponent.
FALLACY OF WOOL PROTECTION"
Farmers are clad in mid winter
mostly in cotton and shoddy, and
yet the wooden manufacturer today
is given As cents a pound protec-
tion on the entire weight of the
farmers clothing on the basis that
it is all wool. He passes this addi-
tional cost on to the farmer, but
gives the wool grower only about
one third of this 45 cents in increas-
ed price of wool.
A foreign piece of mems suiting
weighing eighteen ounces to the
yard is 40 per cent. cotton and 80
per cent. wool and 80 per cent
wool shoddy, costing on the pres
ent rate of exchange Sl09 a yard.
A comparable domestic fabric costs
ST. Is. Under the Fordney Tariff
the duty would be % percent. of
this $l.75, or 42 cents; the weight
duty at 30 pound, 33a cents,
and the landing charge 81 cents,
making the foreign fabric cost here
$l.95. Under the present emer-
gency tariff, with its 45 cents a
pound weight duty, the fabric
would cost S208 as against the
American price of $l.75.
The wool grower would get Is
cents protection per pound instead
OF the as cents weight duty, the
manufacturer keeping 30 cents of
the weight duty, but charging the
farmer who buys clothing the full
45 cents.
The American farmer should be
interested to~fnd out why it is that
his common agricultural tools man.
ufactured in the United States can
be bought for less by the European
farmer than he has to pay for them,
thanks to the protective tariff. For
instance, he should inquire why he
has to pay 1891 a dozen at whole
sale for shovel manufactured in
this country while the identical
shovel exported can be bought in
Europe for $3.50.
With these facts in mind it is
time that the American farmer let
himself be heardin protest against
a protective tariff which most en-
phatically does not give him a
square deal.
