DONT BE A "MOOCHER" It is sometimes said that Monett lacks public spirited men men who will go out of their way to help the town without assurance of personal monetary gain and the charge is just in some respects. Monett has some boosters who are always in the lead in any public enterprise and others sit back, take their efforts as a matter of course and criticise their methods. This is discouraging for the ones who try to accomplish something for the town and handicap them in their work. Monett has now before her an enter prise which means thousands of dol lars to the town the overall factory. The men who are financing it so far are the business men, who are already overburdened with the many demands made uDon "Broadway." We appeal to the railroad men, the retired farm er and business men to come to their assistance in this undertaking and show that all the public spirit is not iin Eroadwav. Give liberally for it is not often that such an opportunity id" ffiven us to bring a substantial ana large business to Monett. Don't be a "moodier," and reap the benefit oi other men's work, without helping outv '.'-: ' ' Two registered English bloodhounds ready to go anywhere. Calls answered day or night. Phone 483, L. E.
