RAILROAD MEN ON STRIKE
GIVE PICNIC AND BARBECUE

The railroad men, farmers, friends
and families held picnic and barbe-
cue at Lanes park south of Monet
Thursday, and it turned out to be one
of the most pleasant and congenial
public gatherings ever held in Monett.
The railroad men that are out on the
strike made plans for the gathering,
and were assisted in every way pos
sible by the other railroad men,
business men and the citizens at large
in making it a pleasant outing for
everyone.
The railroad men that own auto
mobiles We're very generous with them
and operated them during the day to
and from the park, carrying the peo-
pie who did not have cars Of their
own, and the working people who
were unable to go until IL o'clock.
Everyone in the city that could pos
sibly attend was there. All the busi-
ness houses closed during the hours
of ~ to o'clock p. M, in order to
give the business men and their clerks
chance to attend.
By o'clock the park was well
crowded, and the families, and per-
sons who attended in parties, enjoyed
their dinner in picnic style. Everyone
was treated with barbecued meat.
900 pounds of meat was barbecued
and there was sufficient to serve
everyone present, but we believe that
most Of them could have eaten more
of it. 1t was deliciously cooked, and
was served with steaming hot coffee.
Lees Concert Band furnished
music throughout the day. The
swimming pool was favored by the
young people and was crowded with
bathers all day, The refreshment
stands were well patronized also.
Tickets were given to. the children of
the railroad men that are ON strike,
and they were given free ice cream
cones and cold drinks.
A public speaking was held at 2
o'clock. G. H. Johnson was chairman
and introduced the speakers. r. A..
Ellis, Of Clay Hill, south of Aurora,
County Farm Club organizer, was the
first speaker. The subject of his
address was "The View of the Farmer
ON the Labor Question" The subject
was well handled and was very much
enjoyed. Mr.. Ellis left no room in
the minds of his hearers that the
farmers were friends of the Union
men, and their help is assured them in
their time Of need. Mr.. Ellis two
daughters played their violins, giving
several violin and vocal selections.
Other, speakers on the program were
r. t. Woods, of Springfield, State
President Of the Missouri State
Federation of Labor, and G. E. Lane,
State Farm Club organizer. They
made magnificent addresses, and
there were many points on the nation
al railroad strike that they made plain
and which the people better under
stood after listening to these men
speak. Their addresses were fine, and
everyone enjoyed them.
Many of the people had supper on
the, grounds, and darkness drove them
home.

result, which exceeded the committee s.
hopes, will help the Dug Out consid-
erably to extend its work in behalf OF
disabled soldiers.
F'rowning over the dancers were four
cannon sent from the Seventy-first
Regiment Armory with twelve uni
formed soldiers as sentine!s by Capt

Quoted again
Miss Garden spoke her farewell to
New York from the stage after she
and associates in the cast had been
tain last night She always has made
it point when singing the part Of
Flora to play the dead queen in the
final act. and she appeared before the
curtain in her shroud. After silencing
the audience with a wave of her hand
she said II have been dead and don't
like coming to life again" Then, in
a serious mood, she added:
II want to thank you from my heart
for ell you have done for us. l assure
you it strikes deep.
1--WE shall not come here again. We
are going to take care of the Western
territory. and it will be a hard thing to
do. I hope sincerely many of you will
be impeled to take the Twentieth Cen
tury Limited to Chicago in our interest.
Any one who comes from New York
on that mission will be welcomed by
us there and anything I can give you
will be yours
Many in the audience gathered the
impression from Miss Gardens words
that she might decide to continue as
general director and not abandon the
managerial end of opera for her sing
ing art with a reported dash into the
movies.
