THE MONETT WEEKLY FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1919. LIEUT. PERRY VISITS MONETT BOY'S GRAVE Mrs. Esther Haynes received a letter, recently from Lieut. W.

S. Perry, who has" taken the trouble to go over the battlefield to locate the graves of his men. He found the grave of Charlie Weatherman, Mrs. Haynes' brother, and writes as follows: Chonville, Meuse, France, Feb. 23, 1919.

Dear Friends I feel that I owe you and your mother and family an apology" for not having writen you much sooner, an expression of my feeling for you over the loss of your brother and son, Charley, who died a glorious death on the field of battle, a battle the most gigantic in history and conceded to be the hardest fought of any during this just finished world -war. When our battalion was relieved on the 6th day of hard fighting and we had time to make a careful check of casualties, we found we were some :219 men and officers short, among them Charley Weatherman of Co. A. No one knew anything about him at that time and he was carried on our reports as "missing in action." Some time later we received a report fiom the burial records office that- he had been buried on the battlefield. Sometime about January 1 to 5, my Major and myself made a trip to the old battlefield for the purpose of trying to learn- the exact place of burial of our offiecrs and men.

We succeeded in locating the graves of nearly all of them. Charley's grave is in a very nice spot on. the brow of a hill near a very prominent highway, of France, some 600 or; 700 yards due east of the town of Var'ennes in the department of which town is built on the banks of a small river by the name of Aire and about twenty miles west and a little north of the famous city of "Verdun. Although Charley was in Company A my duties as battalion adjutant kept me in touch with almost every man in the: battalion and especially did I keep in touch with all the Monett men and I know that at all times he conducted himself as a perfect soldier and although he was missed on the first or -early part of the second day of battle -he did some excellent and fearless showing himself to be a brave; soldier and entirely cognisant of his 'position and duties. His company commander him in high esteem and considered him one of his best men.

It is indeed a sad ending for a young man, yet considering the purpose for which he was fighting as a volunteer his was a death covered with glory and honor. Although I was lucky in going through the entire six days without a single injury, I sometimes feel ashamed of myself when I stop to think of the terrible hardships and suffering which these men all went, that perhaps have not yet done my share. My sympathies are truly with you and in accord, as I have lost a very dear relative recently as you probably Orders are now that this division is to sail for the States about' May 1 and I sincerely hope the war department can and will Jive up to schedules and I will be glad to give you any information possible when I get home. Warren S. Perry, Lst Lieut and 129th M.

M. FIFTH WAR LOAN 10 BE THE liST Glass Predicts People Will Make It Greatest Success in History. Chicago, March 21. Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass, in several appearances here before liberty loan organizations, financiers and editors and publishers, today gave assurance th.at the fifth, the victory liberty loan, would be the last popular loan, to be superceded by a bond bureau of the treasury department, and. confidently predicted that the American people, "will make it the greatest success in the financial history, of the world." "The victory liberty loan should be subscribed by the people "from their savings and earnings," said the secretary in one address, adding that the people in one way or another nrost meet the government's obligations.

"They may on the one hand lend to their eovernment and receive their capital with interest," he continued, "or the government will have to raise funds by direct taxation which takes away the funds entirely from the people. VOTE BONDS FOR ROADS The election held in Pleasant Ridge township last week to vote $8,000 in bonds for building good roads carried by a vote about 4 to 1. The enterprising citizens of that township are to be commended for this action. They could not have made a better investment or taking a step which would have spoken, more highly for their township. Good roads are one of the county's greatest needs and some communities are getting busy to build them.

The bond method is the fan-way to get the roads improved. The plan of relying upon donations is a failure and unjust for in that way a few persons have the burden for the entire community and the roads are built only by piece-material.

JAPS TRY TO BUY LAND NEAR U. S. Government Learns of Effort to Acquire Tract in Lower California. Washington, March 21. As-a result of telegrams from Senator Phelan of California, giving information of a proposal by Japanese interests to acquire a large tract of land in lower California owned by Americans, the state department has called the attention of the owning corporation, the California Mexico Land Company of Los Angeles, to the attitude of the United States government toward such sales of property which might be used for military purposes.

It was said at the department to day that the land in question was reported to comprise nearly a million acres. The use to which the prospective purchasers propose to put it is not known here. THRIFT "Thrift is the basis of all wealth," boldly declares a leading investment firm in an advertisement. And this statement is a sermon in itself. If the making of much money was all that is necessary to become substantial citizens, such citizens would not be lacking in most communities.

It has been often truthfully said we do those things we most want to do. Most people do those things they most want to lo now, this week or this year, without considering the effect of things they do now on the things they will most want to do in the future. People almost without exception, desire and expect to be substantial if not indeed wealthy citizens, but for some reason put off the saving of money and investment of money. Business men interested in the permanent prosperity of community need never be afraid to join with the banks, investment companies and others in intelligent effort to induce noney makers to save and invest. It will make business better, not worse.

The war has helped much in educating us to save and also to invest. Let us make sure the lesson is not lost. Joplin Globe. C. E.
