"oLD FASHIONED MOTHER"
AT METHODIST CHURCH

One of the most pleasant entertain
ments that has been the privilege OF
Monett people to enjoy for many
weeks was given on Wednesday even
ing when the Epworth League of the
MarionyilIe Methodist church present
ed "An Old Fashioned Mother" in
three acts. 1t was given under the
auspices of the Epworth League Of
the Methodist Episcopal church. An
excellent crowd attended, and the play
proved to be such success, that 1t
will be repeated in the near future TO
give those who missed it this time a
chance to see it.
The play was very realistic and the
moral was very evident, "honor thy
father and thy mother that thy days
may be long in the land" Besides
the tragic side, there was also the
comedy side, and at different scenes
in the play the audience nearly lifted
the roof with laughter.
Miss Bessie Wills = portrayed the
mother, Deborah Underhill, and the
prodigal son was played by Miles
Scott. Others taking part included
Mae Bye as Widder Bill Pindle as the
leader of the choir; Nellie Baldwin
as Miss Louizy Loving Custard; Alice
Darby as Isabel Simpscott, the vii
lage belle; Jewell Bullock, as Gloriana
Perkins, who was as good as gold;
Gladye Thornhill as Sukey Pindle, the
widders mite; Thompson Shubert as
Charley Underhill; Raymond Stark as
Brother Jonah Quackenbush; Leroy
Barker as jeremiah Gosling Jerry"
a merry heart; Homer Massie, as
Enoch Rome, an outcast and wander
er; Stanley Bye, as Quintus Todd, as
the county sheriff. The characters
were well chosen in their parts and
throughout the play were at their best
Following the play the members Of
the caste and members of the local
Epworth League enjoyed social
hour and refreshments of sandwiches,
pickles and Saratoga chips were
served.
The proceeds of the play was given
to the Marionville League to be ap-
piled to the building fund for their
new Methodist church.
The play next time will be given
in the Gem Theatre or the High-school

little ROCK FIRM WILL
BUY M.~& N. A.
Vine Will Be without Receiver for
First Time in Ten Years.

Harrison, Ark, April 6.-When the
Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad
company is sold on April 10 the road
will be without receiver for the first
time in 10 years. 1t is expected that
The Missouri & North Arkansas Rail-
way company, organized recently in
Little Rock by holders of receivers
certificates, will be the only bidders
for the property and that it will offer
$4,000, 900, the minimum sum set by
the federal courts at Little Rock as a
price for the road.
The events of the past month, dur
ing which the government has agreed
10 loan the road $3,500,000 to retire
receivers certificates and granted the
road larger division of rates on
freight shipped jointly over the Mis-
souri, e. North Arkansas and connect
ing roads, has raised the spirit of
residents along the line which sus-
pended operation last July. In addi-
ton to the action of the interstate
commerce commission, the United
States railway board, sitting at Chi
cago, has granted decrease in wages
Of Is per cent when the road resumes
operation.
]. c. Murray, receiver and general
manager of the present sompany, and
one of the incorporators of the new
company, expects the road to resume
operation about May /. The effect of
his announcement is everywhere no.
tieeable. In Harrison merchants who
have been sparing in their orders for
several months past have placed large
orders to be delivered when the road
Is running again. Farmers who have
feared to put in any but small crops
now are preparing to plant crops OF
the usual size. Industries along the
line are getting their plants in shape
to resume operation, and stave and
lumber mills at Leslie and st. Joe
southwest of Harrison, already have
started on full time with a view to
having supply of cut stock on hand
for shipment as soon as freight trains
are running again.
There is much work to be done to
get the roadbed and rolling stock into
shape, all repairs and maintenance
work having been stopped when the
road suspended. AS soon as the sale
Is consumated April 10 the new own
ers will begin the repair work.

planes will soon be fitted out with
radiophone sets capable of trans

communication distance is sought in
order that 4 plane can always be in
contact with at least one field. and
the fields being approximately $50

amusing stories of their emotion. 1t
was so different not to hear the au-
dience applaude at the end of an in
tensely dramatic moment, and the
leading lady invariably blinked in
bewildered surprise until she became
accustomed to the new sensation.
At least with the motion picture,
there was some encouragement from
the director and camera man, but
with the radio the novice seems quite
lost. And no wonder. for while talk
ing or singing to no apparent au-
dience. yet the voice of the entertain
er is being carried over miles OF space
and into thousands of homes.
Marjory Wells. who recently gave
a fashion talk over the radio, was
asked how it felt" and this is what
she had to say:
Feeling Of Loneliness.

was a feeling of loneliness as l
stood in the middle of the big room,
with no one looking on or apparently
within earshot of what l was ABOUT
to say. My voice trembled and l was
awed and when the signal came for
me to begin. / just rambled on and
on. Suddenly a voice beside my ear
said, Cut down your speed l tried
to obey, but there was no way OF
knowing whether my talk was being
well received or not, because there
was no applause and no dissent. Just

After it was over, 1 asked the an
nouncer rather apologetically. how
far he supposed my voice had carried

swered, Why, they probably heard
