COMMUNITY AID SOCIETY

On Tuesday afternoon. September
10, at 2:3O o'clock, q meeting will be
held at the Community church for the
purpose Of organizing q Community
Aid society. An invitation is extended
to all women of the community who
are interested in such an organization.
The call for this meeting is issued
because Of the widespread demand for
q ladies' auxiliary representing the
Community church as o whole, and in
the belief that such an organization
can be Of great service to the church
and the community. There will be
plenty Of work for the new society.
An example of the service which may
be undertaken by an auxiliary repre-
senting the entire church is the build
ing of residence for the minister, to
be held by and in the name of the
Community church-and this will be
proposed as the first large objective
of the Community Aid society.
II you are interested, come to the
meeting for organization. 1t makes
no difference what church you are af-
filiated with or whether you are a
member at all.
This organization aims, as we un-
derstand it, to be simply an auxiiiary
of the Gunnison Community church ad-
MS effectively as possible TO
secure its main purposes.

SPRINGFIELD ENDORSES
CAPITAL HIGHWAY ROUTE

1t affords US much pleasure to an
nounce successful meeting at
Springfield Wednesday, when dele.
gates from the towns on the Capital
Highway route from Springfield to
Monet, to Selgman and Seneca, held
conference with members of the
Springfield Chamber of Commerce in
regard to their endorsement Of the
route through Monett as one Of the
state primary roads.
. The Springfield Chamber of Com
merce rescinded their previous en-
dorsement of a competitive road and
endorsed primary highway seath
from Springfield to Seligman and
southwest to Seneca. This action
leads us.to believe we have a strong
case.
The road committee Of the Spring
field Chamber Of Commerce endorsed
our road wholly on its merits because
Of our interstate connections with
primary roads in Arkansas and Okla
homa. When this body Of men can see
the merits and justice of our road as
against any other road proposed, we
know we have feasible plan.
They did do this, and under circum-
stances that required manliness and
strong courage to carry out.
The delegates had luncheon served
by the Springfield Chamber of Com
merce and the meeting was one of
harmony and good fellowship. All
differences were eliminated and
Springfield is now with Us and one Of
US in the territory south and south
west of their city. 1t means much TO
our chances Of securing the primary
road.
The Monet Commercial Club ap-
preciate the courtesy shown by
the Chamber of Commerce 20 our dele
cation and hopes to meet with them
again. .. 4--.~

Speakers at G. of C. Luncheon Say
Event Draws Purchasers From
a Wide Area.

Webb City, Mo-, June Talks
were made at Chamber of Commerce
luncheon today, urging that efforts be
made to enlarge the monthly sales
days held here.
According to speakers, the Webb
City sale. has become an institution,
and farmers and stock Aien from not
only Jasper county but other counties
in neighboring states are making it a
point to be present. The secret of tie
Webb City sales, it was said, is the
redemption fee that can be paid if the
owner. is not satisfied with the price
offered for his stock kgor merchandise.
Last weeks sale although not so
well attended, is said to have heen one
of the most successful stock sales ever
held here. More than 100 head of cat
tie, a like number of hogs and more
than twenty horses were sold.
Webb City, Joplin and other towns
are shipping out Strawberries in car
loads, the first time in the history of
this part of the country, speakers said
According to j. T. Roney, president,
approximately S6000,000 will be real
lied by the district, which will take,
in this part of the state and adjoining
counties in other states from straw.
berries alone. Most of the estimated
amount will remain in the district.
The speakers at the luncheon were
L. M. Mathews of Carthage, the Rev.
j. G. Hilton, who told of his trip to
Des Moines, Ia, to attend the Presby-
terian church general assembly; T. C.
Hayden, T. J. Roney and E. E. Wood
Large Strawberries were served.
They were presented by John c..
Veatch of this city, and raised ON his:
farm south of town. A vote of thanks
was extended Veatch for the contri-
button.
If you want to live in tie kind Of
town,
like the kind of town you like;
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left be-
hind,
For there's nothing that's really new;
It's a knock at your self when you
knock your town,
1t isn't your town its you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid,
Lest somebody else gets ahead;
When everybody works and nobody
shirks,
You can raise a town from the dead.
And if while you make your per-
sonal stake,
Your neighbor can make one, too;
Your town will be what you want to
see,
1t isn't your town--its you.
