SEEING MISSOURI
Yesterday the Mesdames J. Jk.
Maher, D. J. Attaway, T. J. Dwyer
and W. H. Smith were hostesses to a
merry crowd that spent the day at
Peirce City. Quite a number of the
party left Monett in the early morn
ing hours and later in the day Mrs.
J. J. Maher, with some members of
the faculty of St. Joseph's school,
motored over.
Nature has been very liberal with
her gifts to that portion of Missouri
and the inhabitants of Peirce City,
realizing the opportunities that are
already theirs, have spared no pains
to make the spot an ideal one to the
lovers of out-of-doors. Everything
that could add to the comfort ana
pleasure of those who care to seek It
in the midst of nature is to be found
in the secluded nook chosen for yes
terday's jaunt.
A bountiful picnic dinner and sup
per were supplied by the hostesses
and nothing was left undone that
could add even in the slightest degree
to the comfort of the guests. The
ladies are adept in the culinary de
partment, as w-as1 demonstrated by
the tables that greeted the party at
noonday and evening. Daintily ar
ranged and more daintily served,
thei-e was no lack of enticement for
the appetites of the picnickers. The
day was spent rambling through the
woods, various kinds of sports, and
the evening found a party ready and
willing to return to Monett for rest.
Arriving at the station in Peirce City,
they found to their dismay that the
train would be some two or more
hours late. This, however, proved no
damper to the jovial spirits and they
decided to make the best of the situa
tion. But Mrs. P. J. Heyburn, the
haven of refuge for the needy at all
times, motored over and brought the
tired crowd home. Needless to say
that the entire party enjoyed the day
and that a heartfelt vote of thanks
was tendered the hostesses. When
the train finally whistled through Mo
nett, the tired eyelids no doubt blinked
a "thank you" to Mrs. Heyburn,
through whose kindness they were al
ready in the clutches of the "sand
man."
The case of State vs. Mark Ford is
being tried today at Mt. Vernon. J.
E. Sater and James Talbert, of Cass
ville, are attorneys for the defendant.
The state is represented by Attorney
Bloss, of Aurora, and Prosecuting At
torney McNatt..
LETS PAY
We speak of the dead in hushed, low tones
And honor them where they lie,
But what of the men with shattered bones,
Of the brave who cannot die?
Under the smoke black sky at night,
With scarcely breath to pray,
Men of your kind who fought your fight,
They pay and pay and pay! ,
And who shall send to the brink of hell,
Where the wounded gasp and die,
The rose red banner wavmg, tell,
Say who, but you and I ?
And who shall hurry the ambulance down
Through the dawn of a blood-red day,
But you, my friend, and I? Go on
And pay and pay and pay!
Then give if it needs of your last red cent,
Ay, out of your meanest mite!
And rouse you out of your sweet content,
And hear ye the groans tonight!
For the half dead lie in the black shell scars,
With scarcely breath to pray,
And breathe ttteir prayers to the mute, mute stars
Then pay till it hurts, oh, pay!

MUSIC CLUB
The last meeting for the year of
the Music club, which was held at the
M. E. church Monday afternoon, was
well attended and an unusually inter
esting program rendered.
We enjoyed the presence of two
out-of-town guests, Mrs. Patterson,
of Springfield, and Mrs. Carrie Rus

A MEMBER.
The present Red Cross drive is
bringing some surprising results. The
most liberal contributors in propor
tion to their income are the wage
earners. Fredrick's cigar factory, in
which the most of the employes are
girls who are self-supporting, Has
subscribed more than $200. Several
of the girls subscribed $10 and many
others $5, which is done at a sacrifice.
These girls have been very generous
donors to every enterprise of a pa
triotic nature. The Frisco men have
also been most liberal and are mak
ing a surprising showing. Of the
business firms, Witte & Smith have
made the largest contribution. Some!
citizens most able to pay have given
the least, seeming to think that just
enough to "get by" ought to satisfy
the committee. Such patriotism
comes close to pro-Germanism. The
$10 given by the cigar factory girl
represents more sacrifice than $1,000
would represent to some of these
men who are satisfied to give two or
three dollars. The telephone em
ployes, clerks and others are also de
serving of special mention.
President Wilson's declaration that
we are going to furnish our allies an
army "big enough to win" must have
sounded harshly in the ears of the
presumptious despot who once upon
a time grandiloquently notified Am
bassador Gerard that he would stand
no nonsense from the United States
after he had tamed Europe. Joplin

JIMMY SMITH HURT WHEN
AUTO HITS BRIDGE RAILING
When Mrs. Herbert Walton was
bringing the berry pickers back to
town Tuesday evening in the car, she
lost control of the car for a few min
utes and it ran into the iron railing
of the bridge south of Monett. Mrs.
W. B. Smith and little son, Jimmy,
5 years old, were in the front seat
with Mrs. Walton, and the sudden
stop of the car threw the boy forward
and his head was run through the
windshield. He sustained a deep
gash across the nose. Others in the
car were shaken up quite badly. Little
Jimmy was taken to the doctor and
his wounds cared for.
W. J. Fleming left Tuesday evening
for a business trip to St. Louis.

MONETT IS GOING OVER THE TOP
Citizens Respond Liberally to Red
Cross Solicitors No Trouble to
Raise Required Amount.
The American Red Cross Second
War Fund is going over the top with
a whoop in Monett. Over $2,000 in
cash has been received. More genu
ine enthusiasm shown by workers
than in any previous drive.
Many liberal voluntary contribu
tions have been received at headquar
ters. Our organization meets with unani
mous approval of the workers. The
plan will reach most of the man pow
er of the city. We do not intend to
make a house-to-house campaign this
drive, as the ladies are always willing
to do their part and those of them
willing to contribute are calling at
headquarters. We expect a generous
subscription from them without so
licitation. They are invited to send
in their pledges early. If you know
of any one who has not been solicited,
see them. It is your duty. Everybody
should contribute something and work
among their friends.
We are highly gratified by the
great showing of our workers and
anticipate fine achievements by the
voluntary workers.
I am respectfully,
J. M. RUSSELL,
Manager of the American Red Cross
