CASSyILLE DENOUNCES
SPRINGFIELD'S POSITION

ia
The Cassville Commercial club has
adopted resolutions denouncingS the
action Of the Springfield Commercial
Club in endorsing the "air line" from
Springfield to Joplin for the state
concrete highway in preference to the
route through the larger towns of the
Ozarks along the Frisco railroad.
The resolutions are signed by the
business and professional men of
Cassville. They are in part as fol-
! lows:
Whereas, the towns and country
along the Frisco railroad from
Springfield west to the Oklahoma
state line at Seneca, Mo-, via Monet
Mo-, and sopth from Monet, Mo-, to
the Arkansas State lire south Of Sc
ligman, Mo-, via Cassville, Mo-, are
asking and desirous of obtaining one
of these primary roads for the reason
that said would run through a terri
tory that would accommodate more
people and be of greater service to the
travelling public than line running
further north than this, and for the
further reason that said line of road
would connect with state highway in
Oklahoma and Arkansas, leading to
the capitol Of each state, and for the
further reason that said line of road
would be through the heart of the
"The Ozarks," the PLAY ground of
America, and the most direct route
for the people of tine state to the
summer resorts in the Ozark Play
grounds, viz, Roaring River, Eureka
Springs, Monte Ne and Bella Vista,
whereas, it has come to this club
that the Chamber of Commerce OF the
city of Springfield mas endorsed the
route from Springfield west to Joplin
the same being several miles north
of our proposed route and ignoring
many good towns with their traffic
territory south and west of Spring
field and giving no connection at all
with the highways leading to the
several summer resorts of the Ozarks
above mentioned and to the detriment
of the travelling public and citizens OF
TIE great southwest. Therefore be it
resolved by the Commercial Club of
the City of Cassville,- Mo-,
''That, we protest against and de-
nounce the action of the Chamber of
Commerce of the City of Springfield,
Mo-, in endorsing what is called the
Air Line west from Springfield to
Joplin, as. being unjust to the state
and its citizens and against the best
interest of the majority of the citizens
Of the southwest and the travelling
public and against the interests OF the
city Of Springfield and its trade Ter
tory; and we hereby request that al
merchants, business men and bankers
who are now patronizing the city OF
Springfield, withdraw their patron
age until such time as the citizens OF
Springfield and its Chamber of Com !
meree shall withdraw their endorse
ment of what is called the Air Line
Route and endorse and help secure the
building of the primary road from
Springfield, west to Seneca, Mo-, via
Monet, Mo-, and from Monett, Mo-
to the Arkansas State line south OF
Seligman, Mo-, via Cassville."

MONETT HAS oUTGROWN
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Monett's Pride in Public Schools De-
mands Better Buildings and
Bonds are to be Voted.

4 -
| The people of Monet have never
failed to respond to a call for better
schools, or better working conditions
In our school system Our present
school system is the pride Of our city,,
but the buildings are far behind other
school systems of the same size in
this state.
Both the Marshall Hill building and
the Central School building are not
only unsatisfactory and unsaited to-
the present demands, but are actually
dangerous to the lives of the children
The present High school is in badly
over-crowded condition. It is nothing.
short OF marvellous that our schools
have attained their present standard
with the equipment we have.
The annual percentage of attend
ance in our schools mas doubled in the
last ten years. Many children are be-
ing sent here from the country and
smaller towns to obtain better edu-
cational facilities. This means a bet
ter town for us, and more people will
come here If we are equipped to take
care of them in our school system.
With a natural increase in populations
and a wider interest in our public
schools, the demand is for better
equipment and better buildings.
An 1antocracy can get along with
an ignorant population. A Demo-
cracy, such as we are living under to-.
day, requires intelligence, and intelli-,
gence among the people is possible
only where the public schools are kept
at their best. To neglect the schools,
and their equipment is, therefore, to,
endanger the welfare of the nation,
and OF any community. To delay the
necessary attention to the schools is
to cheat the child Of today, for that
child cannot make up in later years,
when proper attention might finally
be given the schools, what has been
lost in training. Adequate schools
and up-to-date buildings and equip
ment are thus one of the most i'm
perative obligations of any COM
n1unity.
These facts are strikingly illustrat-
ed in connection with the school situ-
alton in Monet. Thirty-two years
ago the Central school building was
erected in Monett, and, no doubt this;
building was adequate for the needs;
at that time; but during the last
thirty-years a complete revolution has;
taken place in the business world, in
social circles, in interest in education
and the fitting Of the child for society
and the battles Of life.
The merchant and business man
who has only financial interest at
stake would be satisfied with the use
of building erected thirty years ago;
the business man, if he prospers, must
keep his building, fixtures and equip
ment up to the modern standard, and
keep pace with the progress and de-
mands of the people. Educational
interests are far greater important
than financial interests, and children
of today should be offered every OPP
portunity within the reach of the
people to give them greater education
broader range of thought, Liberal
ideas and to make of them better
citizens. Il 4

The Crawford Adams COMPANY.

The Crawford Adams Company ap-
breaches more nearly the ideal concert
company than any before the public.
For years Crawford Adams has been
the most popular violinist in the ly-
ceum. Adams is not only a good ar
tisf, capable of presenting well the
best IN music, but he has other talents
which endear him to all who hear him.
TO begin with he has lots OF personal
ity. He is good psychologist, he
knows what to play. He does little
stunts which amuse the people such as
the talking violin, and limitations. One
OF his features already famous is his
challenge to an audience to name any,
thing which they care to hear played;
without hesitation Adams plays the re-
quest-he never fails. Then too his
program IS cleverly arranged so that
there are no tiresome waits. Adams
insists on giving every audience more
than value for value. II is estimated
that he has given over 500 concerts
and has entertained thousands Of peo-
pie. Those who have heard this "Wiz.
ard Of the Bow" will be only too happy
10 avail themselves of an opportunity
to hear him again, those who haven't
clever. With him are Elinor Stearns,
reader, and Sybil Gould, pianist,
artists whose ability is of the same de-
gree Of excellence as Adams.
These artists, who are the first num-
ber on the Shepherd College lyceum
course, are to appear here next Mon
day night. A season ticket costs $3.50
for the four numbers and cannot be
sold after Monday night. The other
numbers are high-class and the pee
pie Of our community cannot afford
to miss them. Buy your season tick

Barnes, acting with the federal CON-
mite on distribution Of anthracite
coal, announces that the allotment of
hard coal for the ensuing winter will
be about 60 per cent of the consump-
ton of 192l-l922. The long strike

sumption the following will be the al
lotment for the towns and villages of
