CHARGED WITH
ENTICING YOUNG GIRL
p. ]. Fulkerson Arrested for Enticing
Child Away from Home and Marry
ing without Parents Consent.

P. ]. Fulkerson, who recently came
to Monet, was arrested Friday night
on charge of enticing Carmen Burke
sixteen years old, away from home
and marrying her without her parents
consent. The warrant was issued by
=. A. O'Dwyer, justice of the peace,
on complaint of P. J. Burke, father Of
the girl.
Deputy Sheriff E. R. Matthews and
city officers J. A. Johnson and r.
Bland, caused Fulkerson to be arrest
ed at Marionville by w. A. B. Logan,
the constable, who delivered the couple
to the Monet officers. Fulkerson was
placed in Jail pending investigation.
Fulkerson was taken before Justice
O'Dwyer Saturday afternoon, who set
his trial for Monday, February 20, and
required a bond of $2500.
Carmen Burke, a very pretty and
attractive girl, has been living with a
sister at Tulsa, Okla, and going to
school. The two sisters came here
this week to visit their parents, Mr..
and Mrs. P. j. Burke. The younger
girl met Fulkerson for the first time
on Wednesday. He persuaded her to
run away with him to be married.
They secured license at Greenfield,
Dade county, both making affidavit
that the girl was nineteen years old.
They were married at Miller Thurs
day by Rev. Brown.
The law is very strict in this matter
and the penalty for conviction is
penitentiary sentence. The officers
are doubtful if the clerk had the right
to issue license to the girl, even if
she had been nineteen years old, as
the new law. makes the marriageable
age 21 years.

TO THE MOTHERS OF
PLYMOUTH SCHOOL

Will you listen to the appeal to the
better self within you? Will you
awake to take a peep into your
vicinity and outside at the dangers
awaiting 70 capture YOUR child?
How are all these surroundings to
be cleared away and things of true,
uplifting type put in their place? 1t
is through the organized efforts of
the true mothers. All the calamities
that are happening now are happen
ing to some mothers child-a mother
just as good as you or /.
To guard against many things too
numerous to mention We have organ
ICED Parent Teacher Association at
the Plymouth school in order for
teacher and mother to work toward
one aim. While mother teaches one
thing and teacher another, the child
must be confused. To prevent this
is for mother and teacher to under
stand each other. There is much to
be done with very little financial
obligation.
The membership fee is 10 cents per
month and can work no hardship on
anyone.
We are planning some very inter-
esting programs through the re-
naming year. Win you not be there
to see that the proper programs are
being prepared to lead your child to
the highest round of the ladder of
success. While other mothers are
taking this good work up with great
success, will you not take a part.
When son or daughter has succeeded
and the world is glad he or she lives
in it, can you step out and say Il did
my part to bring it about" or will
you look downcast and say: ut was
all done without an effort on my
part"

meeting February "a.

LEBANON WINS
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE
Monett is Eliminated from Finals.
Championship Now Between
Lebanon and Holden. =.
By Burt johnson.


It's too bad. Monet lost the debate
last night.
Although Monet lost the debate
the large crowd present agreed that
it was the best debate ever heard in
Monet. Monet is now eliminated
from the debating league for this
year The championship now lies be-
tween Holden and Lebanon. Both
these teams have upheld the negative
on the question, Resolved that the
principle of the closed shop should
prevail in American industry"
Warren Harris and Gene Bradshaw
represented Lebanon. Monett's re-
presentatives were Noveta Brown and
Louis Bounous. All the debaters had
fine stage presence. Each bad a
strong, pleasing voice.
One surprising thing about the az
guments of each team was that they
clashed on important points. Each
argument was strong from almost any
point they could be viewed. The re-
buttals were especially strong but the
Lebanon boys had slightly the better
of it on refutation.
The judges were Mr.. Harmon of
Cottey college, Nevada; Mr.. Kendall,
of Marionville college, Marionville;
ard Mr.. Pummill, superintendent of
Crane schools. Mr.. Galbraith acted
as chairman. Lillian Alsup rendered
vocal solo that greatly pleased the
audience. While the votes were being
collected Frances Folger gave a piano
solo which also was much enjoyed.
The crowd present showed the need
of new High school with a regular
auditorium The seats with desks in
front are uncomfortable to the adults.
Other towns the size of Monett have
schools equipped with auditoriums
that are not used as study halls.
