THE MONETT WEEKLY TIMES FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1918. FROM OUR SOLDIER BOYS IN CAMP AND OVERSEAS MONETT MEN PLEASED WITH CAMP DODGE Monett men who went to Camp Dodge, for military training are well pleased with the camp, which is one of the 1 best in the United States. Fred L. Jones, in a recent letter, gives some interesting notes of camp life as follows: "I arrived here 0. K.

and like the looks of things. The bunch of boys in my company are picked men and all good fellows. have never heard a complaint out of any of them except when you get in their way when the cook hollers, "Come and get it." That is what we all like to hear at meal time. We always have plenty of everything to eat. I was surprised at the way they feed the soldiers.

"I am the only Barry county boy in this company. I see John Hile and Emmet 0'Dwyer occasionally. They are in Company 350th Infantry, across from my barracks, but I have not had time to talk to them much. The other Barry county boys I might not see if I stayed here three I have watched thousands pass every day, thinking I might see someone that I knew, but they are all strangers. "I have already got my bunk, two blankets, tooth brush, hair brush, comb, soap, bath towels, laundry bag, haversack and rifle and several other things and have already had three rifle practice, and when I get.

my suit on you can hardly tell me from a real soldier. We get two suits, two shirts, two suits of underwear, one jacket, two raincoats, two pairs of shoes, two pairs of leggins. If you could see all that junk in one stack you would wonder how I could even get it in a wagon, but when it is all packed up and tied on me it doesn't look like I was carrying much. "There is a- creek on the west side of the camp, just in front of the barracks, about like Shoal creek, and on the east about two miles is Des Moines river. -I saw Boots Owens and Byron Kennedy pass.

I think they were with Company 350th Engineers." LETTER FROM CORPORAL CARR Governor's Island, N. Y. Governor's Island remains on the map, even if German subs are only 75 miles away, blowing up our ships. They are very careful not to attack anything but small fishing boats who hare nothing to hurt them with. Cooperal Jarvis and I receive The Times every day and we greatly appreciate it.

We note with some interest the work being done in Monett and Barry county securing Red Cross funds, and we want to heartily congratulate you, one and all, on the you can raise money, which proves that you have the welfare of us fellows at heart who are doing our bit. While we are here on the we are not in the trenches, as some of our boys, but we do not know just how soon we may be. This is a very interesting place to be, as one can see new things every day. We have several sea gulls here and they are a very beautiful bird. Just one hour's ride from here will take one to Coney Island, where there is some amusement.

I received a card today from Chief Mechanic John F. Willis, mailed from Chicago, stating that Battery 342nd F. was on the move and 1 suppose they will soon be chasing Huns on the western front. Here's wishing them luck and a safe return. New York city is quite some town to view from the Woolworth building, which is the tallest building in the world.

We are having lots of rain here, but it does not stay muddy very long, because this island was taken from the Hudson river tunnel and consists of sand and tin cans. As I haven't time to write any more, I shall close, with regards to one and all. Respectfully, CORP. GUY G. CARR.

TWO SOLDIER TRAINS PASS THROUGH MONETT One troop train went through Monett Tuesday night shortly before 12 o'clock, and another one Wednesday morning at 8:80, going East. Mrs. S. A. Mott, who has been ill for several months, is not improving as much as her friends would like to see her.

She is very weak and unable to leave her room. D. H. Kemp will leave tonight for Antlers, to dispose of more wreck cases, which took place April 5. Mrs.

Harry Smedley returned home Wednesday from Miami, Ok. BABY WEEK WILL BE OBSERVED IN MONETT Plans are being made by the officers of the Women's Council of Defense at Monett for the observance of week. This will be done the first week July, at which time all the babies in the town will be enrolled. They will be measured and weighed by experts and examined for physical defects. Most of Missouri towns are taking up the question of baby welfare and Monett will be one of the number.

MRS. CLARA CASSIDY DIES Mrs. Clara Cassidy died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Luther Owens, Tuesday night, June 11, after an illness of more than six months. Funeral services will be held at the Owens home, on North Frisco avenue, at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, June 13.

Interment will be made in the Purdy cemetery. Mrs. Cassidy lived for a number of years on a farm southeast of Monett. When her health failed a few months ago she came to Monett to live with her daughter. Besides Mrs.

Owens, she leaves four other children Brewer. Burg, Joe, Frank and Roy Cassidy. Roy is in a military training camp. Mrs. Cassidy was born January 13, 1853, at Litchfield, and was 65 years and 5 months old at her death.

ADAMS-GATTS Lewis V. Gatts and Miss Chestnut S. Adams, two highly respected young people of this city, were quietly married at the home of the bride's parents, Dr. and Mrs. D.

C. Adams, Saturday evening by Rev. C. D. Oberlin, of the Congregational church.

The bride spent the last year teaching in the Missouri public schools, while the groom is one of our well known young business men. Shortly after their marriage couple boarded a Frisco train, expecting to return in about ten days to be at home to their friends at the home of the bride's parents until Mr. Gatts is called into the army, which he expects Light. The young couple have many friends in this city. ENTERTAINED FRIENDS A number of friends were entertained Tuesday evening by Mrs.

Gussye Stanley at her home on Third street. Miss Stella Thiemann, of St. Louis, was the honor guest.

To cure the pains and aches, the lameness when it arises from weakened kidneys, you must reach the cause--the kidneys. If you have pain through the small of your back, urinary disorders, headaches, dizzy spells, or are nervous and depressed, start treating the kidneys with a tested kidney remedy. Doan's Kidney Pills have been proved good and are especially for weak kidneys. Doan's have been used in kidney trouble for over 50 years. Read Monett testimony.

Mrs. Maggie Boone, 1105 Bond says: "I have had a great deal of backache and suffered from other symptoms common to kidney disorder. Doan's. Kidney Pills rid me of all the trouble and I am pleased to recommend them to others." Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy--get Doan's Kidney Pills- -the same that Mrs.

Boone had. Foster-Milburn Buffalo, N. Y. HARVEST HELP WILL BE PROVIDED FOR FARMERS However, Those in Need of Hands Must Make Known Wants to E. A.

O'Dwyer at Once. LEAVE TAKING OF CAMP FUNSTON BOYS Loyal -Davies, who is in Y. M. C. A.

work at Camp Funston, writes to tell Barry county about her gallant soldiers who have just left camp to go overseas. His letter follows: Camp Funston, June 10. Editor of Monett Times: Thought perhaps the people of Barry county would like to know a little about their boys leaving for the East. When I arrived in camp I was very fortunate in being placed in Y. M.

C. A. No. 12, located in the artillery section, and, as most people know, there is where a large per cent of our boys were. The 342 F.

A. all from Missouri (or, as the boys said, "from God's Well, on a certain day I heard they were to leave, so I got busy telling my friends good-bye. All of them were anxious to go and I want to say they were the best looking soldiers that have left this camp. The band played "Over There" as they left the barracks. Barry county has cause to be proud of her men, for all of the officers spoke very highly of the Barry county men.

If you people could realize how much the boys enjoy a letter, you would write them whether you knew them or not. Let me suggest that a number of you write a letter to the Barry county boys and address it to some one of them. Let them know how proud you are of them. When the 89th division gets over there, watch them rout the Huns, for I want to tell you that those 3-inch shrapnels and those 4-point sevens sure do the work, and the boys know how to use them. It was with heavy hearts that the staff of this building told the men good-bye, and we think of them each day, but at the same time we were proud of them for the spirit they showed.

The message they asked me to give their relatives was, "We are going over and do our best." They were under good officers, especially those in the 342nd F. A. A division like the 89th, of which our boys were a part, will win and they will never think of giving up. Remember the home boys and let them know you are thinking of them. Cordially yours; L.

L. DAVIES. LEONARD GABRIEL WRITES FROM FRANCE Mrs. L. H.

Gabriel received a letter from her son, Leonard, Tuesday, stating that he had arrived safely in France. He said he was in a very beautiful part of the country and that the trees were in bloom. He was surprised at the excellent food served the soldiers. He said that at the Y. M.

C. A. they could buy American candy, cigars, cigarettes and toilet articles at the same price at home, or a little cheaper. He says he is happy and having a good time. PAUL MUSICK ENJOYING HIS TRIP OVERSEAS Mrs.

H. U. Musick received a letter from her son, Paul Musick, who recently arrived in France. He says he likes that country better than England. He is enjoying his trip overseas, says he is under a fine set of officers and that the men are well treated.

Paul has met several old friends since his arrival overseas. Word has been received from Chief Mechanic Charles Sheehan that the ship he had sailed on had arrived safely in France. Mrs. T. P.

Mooney has received a card from her brother, Lee Jones, stating that he had arrived safely in France. Riley S. Stewart, of Purdy, is one of a list of fourteen naval recruits sent to St. Louis Tuesday night for examination by the naval recruiting station. STOLE SUNDAY PROVISIONS Mr.

and Mrs. B. A. Beckham were short of Sunday provisions because of a raid on their refrigerator Saturday evening while they were away from home. The thief took everything but a bottle of water.

Other people in the same neighborhood have been missing articles from their back porches and bottles of milk from their front porches. One evening nine bottles left by the Black dairy were stolen in that vicinity. The guilty party must have followed on the milkman's heels to get away with so many without being caught. Get your flags ready to display on Flag Day, June 14. At a meeting of the Monett Commercial Club at the mayor's office Tuesday evening action was taken in regard to providing harvest hands for those farmers who find themselves short of help in harvesting their wheat crop, which is ripening fast and soon must be cut.

While the attendance at the Commercial Club meeting was shamefully small, the faithful few present made preliminary arrangements to secure the necessary assistance in harvesting the bumper crop of wheat. It was decided that Judge E. A. 0'Dwyer should handle the harvest labor problem in much the same way that he conducted the strawberry-picker campaign. In other words, the Commercial Club is ready and willing to furnish the harvest hands, but the farmers must do their part, which will consist in at once notifying Judge O'Dwyer, any member of the Commercial Club or The Times, giving their exact needs.

For instance, if a farmer has 50 acres of wheat, let him so state, also giving the number of hands he will require, how much he will pay, whether he is prepared to house and feed the men, and all other requisite information. A number of business men and others have already volunteered their services, and as soon as a proper number of names of men willing to work in the harvest fields can be secured they will be published in The Times. The names of all farmers needing help also will be published as soon as application for hands is made. The most vexing problem in the matter of securing harvest hands is that no standard wage has been fixed by the farmers, and usually the first question men ask is "How much will they pay?" In the judgment of the members of the Commercial Club, the easiest solution of this problem would be for the farmers who expect to hire help to get together and agree upon a uniform price per hour or per day. As' wheat harvest has already begun in some sections, no time is to be lost in taking action if the wheat crop is to be saved, and we urge every farmer who will need hands to telephone his wants to Judge E.

A. O'Dwyer at the carliest possible moment. Our citizens also are urged to volunteer their services if they can sibly do so, as the wheat crop means more to the country today than ever before, and no patriotic citizen should hesitate to do all in his power to win the war. The wheat crop means a great deal more than the average citizen realizes, every man who can do so should send or telephone his name and address to Judge E. A.

O'Dwyer at once--today. BETTERTON-LOCK WOOD Monroe Betterton and Mrs. Alzada Lockwood, both of Monett, were married at Mt. Vernon Tuesday, June 11. They were accompanied to that place by John Waltrip and Mrs.

Artelia Shaffer. The newly married couple will make their home in South Monett. The bride was the widow of the late Eli Lockwood and has lived here a number of years. MRS. CAROLINE LAWSON DEAD Mrs.

Caroline Lawson, mother of Mrs. T. J. Jenkins, four miles north of town, died Tuesday evening at 9 o'clock from acute indigestion. She has made her home with her daughter.

Death was very sudden. The remains were shipped to Humansville, where burial will be made. ATTEND RED CROSS DANCE Those from Monett who attended the Red Cross dance at the Neosho city park Tuesday night were Floyd Callaway, Alvin Floreth, John Charles Wagner, Misses Mildred Callaway, Florence Wagner and Dorothy Morrow.

MORGANTS for MARINES SERVICE UNDER THIS EMBLEM DON'T GRUMBLE Don't grumble secretly to yourself or to others about the many campaigns. End them by helping to end the war. The War Savings campaign is for the purpose of ending the war victoriously at the earliest possible moment. Unless the men and women of this country respond to the demands of war cheerfully, generously and proud-in a whole-souled manner--the demands will increase and the war will be prolonged. Do your part June 28.

There is not enough labor and not enough material in this country to supply the normal peace demands and also the war requirements of the nation. One of the two demands must be reduced. Either you and I must dispense with needless purchases or the soldiers and sailors must be deprived of necessary equipment. Which shall it be? You are not asked to give up anything. You are simply asked to POSTPONE the purchase of needless luxuries--goods and services not necessary for your health and efficiency.

And you are asked instead to lend money to the United States so that the government can purchase to goods and services which you temporarily give up, and use them in prosecuting the war. On January 1, 1923, the government will return the money to you with interest at the rate of 4 per cent, compounded quarterly. If necessary, you can get the money any time before maturity. The war savings movement is so important as a war measure and so splendid an opportunity for profitable investment that the people of Missouri need only understand it to respond to it. We believe that they will respond to it in the same patriotic spirit which has prompted our fighting men.

We believe that from now until June 28 the men and women of this state will unite with those of other states in hurling America's reply to the German menace--by pledging freely and conscientiously to save for -Thriftology. Mrs. Buchanan and children, of Knoxville, visited the family of Mrs. T. L.
