Council Approves Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan The Unionville City Council was called to order by Alderman Gary Davis who chaired the meeting at 5:30 PM on Thursday, February 1, 2024. In attendance were Kellie Purdy, Eric Lutz and Jason Hill. Mayor Charley Bill Pittman joined the meeting via telephone. After review, Purdy motioned to approve the Consent Agenda. Lutz seconded the motion, which passed 3-0. Staff Reports were reviewed. T. J. Payne, Water/Wastewater, reported that the department is 100% compliant with DNR. He told the council he had checked into schooling for an employee and gave the details. He requested permission to cut a hole in the sidewalk to gain access to the curb stop to shut off a water leak behind the Scuttlebutt building. There were no objections. Officer Josh Mathes informed the council that the flags for ATVs issued with the permits were getting hard to obtain and had a tendency to fail. He requested that the council drop the $50 fee for the first time ATV permit, which included $25 for the flag and just charge the $25 and not issue flags. The council had no objections. Mathes added that he will be out of town on two different occasions to testify in two separate

court cases, one in Kansas City, KS, and one in Bethany. Mayor Pittman reported on the old Rexall building. Davis stated they had received the engineer’s report from the firm representing the owner of the adjacent building. In Old Business, City Treasurer Amy Homann reported on the results of further inquiries into Economic Development funds and the demolition of the former Rexall building. In New Business, budgets for Street, General, Sanitation and Economic Development were reviewed. Chris Hines, Street Dept., reported that he planned to save back some funding each year for five years to apply to an asphalt project. Homann stated that about $40,000 left over from last year’s general budget would be applied to Code Enforcement demolition. She pointed out that there were changes to the Water/ Wastewater budget. She suggested if the council was going to raise any utility rates that water would be her recommendation. Purdy motioned to approve the Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan. Lutz seconded the motion, which passed

A little cooking disaster with a pot boiling over and liquid running through and out of a cabinet, prompted removing the left-hand cartridge on the Jenn-Air and discovering that it was probably getting close to time or maybe past time for a replacement cook top. Evidently, a downdraft top with the electric coil type burners are now considered vintage and an upgrade will probably be required. Admittedly, some more investigation other than a Google search is required, especially since it will hopefully be a local purchase. I guess when the cook is “vintage,” she should expect her cook top to be as well. On a totally different topic, a lady called last week about a cattle

drive from Unionville to Montana that her great (or great, great) grandfather Charles William Tiffy did in 1883. She has written a book and is coming to the museum this week to find more information. I am looking forward to interviewing her and her sister and will have more information later. What I find most interesting or rather surprising is that the drive went west. Usually, one thinks of the drives coming from the west to the railheads in Kansas. I can’t wait to learn more details. If you have a story or picture to share about PC history or of just current interest, please email them to urep@nemr.net or stop by the office. Have a great week!

Buy Your Valentine’s Day Candy Early Dr. Glenn Mollette Valentine’s day is coming soon and you better go to the store today if you want a cheap box of candy! A pharmacist friend recalled a man coming into his store late on Valentine’s Day a couple of years back. He only one big box of candy left that sold for over $50. The man looked the shelves over but there wasn’t a more reasonable box of candy to be found in the store. He continued to eye the candy and finally paid for it and left the store. The pharmacist remembered that his cheaper boxes of candy were gone a couple of days before Valentine’s day. If you need a less expensive box of candy, don’t delay, go today. Roses and other flowers dramatically go up in price before Valentine’s day. As you are reading this column someone is doubling if not tripling the prices on their roses. Roses that might sell for $39.95 off the grocery store shelf are now marked up to $79.95 and often over $100.00. If your roses delivered to your sweetheart you can count on spending $100.00 and probably

much more. Flowers and candy are fine and dandy but woe be unto you if you fail to come through with at least something on Valentine’s day. Cards aren’t cheap. They are all prices but nice cards are more expensive all the time. Let’s say you buy a dozen roses, a midrange box of candy, and a card. You could easily be out $125.00. If you are going out to dinner on Valentine’s day then this doubles the price of your celebration depending on where you eat. The jewelry store wants to convince you that buying expensive jewelry is necessary for the holiday occasion. I say it’s best to change the television channel and not listen to all the ridiculous jewelry store ads unless you want to drop some serious money on a piece of jewelry. All in all, you and your sweetheart should celebrate Valentine’s Day in a way that is meaningful to you. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich at home while watching Wheel of Fortune is okay as well. When you are with someone you love then it really doesn’t matter. When you first started dating your Valentine

you were just happy to sit on the couch beside each other. You were glad to hold each other’s hand and you were just thrilled to be together. Maybe, your best Valentine’s day might be to remember how it used to be and how wonder-

ful those simple, early days and dates were. Recapturing some of those good thoughts and feelings might make your Valentine’s day the best ever. Just in case that doesn’t happen, try to get to the store early.

WINTER OVER?

I don’t know about Pennsylvania, but the groundhog sure didn’t see his shadow here on Groundhog Day. And the MisKevin Collins souri Conservationist magazine said we would start seeing Canadian geese flying back north beginning in February. Sure enough, I saw a flock flying north on February 1, right on time. Are these two signs that winter is over? It’s north Missouri; I wouldn’t bet on it.

The Shepherd’s Call by Dr. H. Wade Paris

Repurpose Me, O God Remember the television show, “American Pickers”? Two guys traveled all over the United States and occasionally overseas finding old stuff they could resell— an old sign, an outdated gas pump, even old toys. Nostalgia is a profitable business. Traveling all over the world, shipping “finds,” and producing those shows had to be expensive. It was an intriguing show. I loved the scenery in the places they visited. I often recognized the items they bought, occasionally even remembering, “We had one of those years ago.” Through the years, I have been something of a “picker” myself. A cousin gave me an old ice box that had been on his front porch for years. I restored it. It no longer houses ice but is a perfect place for our multiple compact discs. I also have a vintage grandfather clock and an old Hoosier cabinet I restored. Sometimes I look at the grandfather clock and wonder who once owned it. It is an 1835 farm clock with a loud bell designed to call workers from the field at noon. When it strikes, I try to imagine what kind of farm it came from. When I look at the ice box, I remember the first refrigerator we had at our house and recall

men carrying the ice box out the door. The Hoosier cabinet still held the flour sifter. While we did not put flour in it, we used the cabinet to store seldom used china. Perhaps you are thinking, “Nostalgia is fun, Wade; but what is your point?” Restoring wounded and damaged people is God’s business. God often chose broken humans for noble service. The shepherd boy David had no greater desire than to serve the Lord. However, time and human frailty took its toll on David. Having disappointed God and the Hebrew nation, David prayed, “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation.” (Psalm 51) Rather than ask God to “restore us,” it might be better to ask Him to repurpose us. Time and sin change things. As beautiful as they were, the restored ice box and Hoosier cabinet were no longer suited for today’s living. They have gone away in our “downsizing.” It is easy to fall into the trap of wanting things to be as they used to be. The world has moved on from what it used to be. Rather than pray for things to be restored as of old, perhaps we should pray “Lord, repurpose me to live for You in today’s world.”

Looking After Heart Health Reduces Cancer Risk, Too By Dr. Graham A. Colditz, Siteman Cancer Center The month of Valentine’s Day, February is also American Heart Month – both highlighting matters of the heart. And while Heart Month might arrive with fewer candies and flowers than Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t lack for importance when it comes to overall health. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of men and women in the U.S., causing nearly 700,000 deaths each year. More positively, there are ways to reduce your risk, and your family’s. Eighty percent or more of heart disease cases could be avoided with healthy lifestyle changes and preventive health care. And most steps may already be familiar, including making healthy food choices and being more physically active. On top of these hearthealth benefits, such steps also have the add-

ed bonus of lowering the risk of cancer, which is a close second to heart disease in overall impact. Fifty percent of all cancers could be prevented with healthy behaviors. And 50% or more of breast cancers — and up to 75% of colon cancers — could be avoided. Steps that can lower the risk of both heart disease and cancer include: *Being tobacco-free – or getting tobacco-free. Visit smokefree.gov for help. *Keeping weight in check. *Being physically active. Any amount of activity is better than none. *Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and low in red and processed meat. *Limiting alcohol. Not drinking is best. *Getting screening tests for certain cancers and heart disease risk factors. Talk with a doctor about which apply to you.

BID NOTICE

As important as these healthy behaviors are, it can still take some effort to put them in place, and making a plan can improve our chances of making it happen. “Choosing a behavior that can be integrated into everyday life is key,” said Erika Waters, a professor at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis who specializes in behavior change research. “Then, make a small goal for change.” This approach helps set the stage for success that we can then build on. Being detailed about a goal helps even more. “Specify what, when, where and for how long,” added Waters. One common goal for many of us is to get more physical activity, and Waters outlined an example of using this approach to help do that. Here are some questions we might ask ourselves, and some potential answers: *What will I do? Take a walk. *When will I do it? Right when I get home from work. *Where will I do it? Down to the corner and back. *How long will I do it? For just 10 minutes. It may feel unfamiliar

The Unionville Republican, February 7, 2024, Page 3

to have such a specific plan for something like a short walk. But having a realistic goal and plan for reaching that goal can really help us be successful in making healthy changes and maintaining them over time. Every positive change we make, however big or small, can have benefits — and can build on each other. American Heart Month, and the healthy behaviors it focuses on, is a great way to think about steps we can take to lower our risk of heart disease, cancer and other chronic diseases. “Changing behavior isn’t always easy,” Waters concluded. “But having better health and well-being will make it worthwhile!” It’s your health. Take control. For more ways to improve overall health, visit 8ways.wustl.edu. Dr. Graham A. Colditz, associate director of prevention and control at Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is an internationally recognized leader in cancer prevention and the creator of the free prevention tool YourDiseaseRisk.com.

Bill Seeks to Amend Performance Assessments for Missouri Schools

By Dmitry Martirosov, MO News Network JEFFERSON CITY — A proposal to change the metrics used to assess student performance in Missouri public schools was heard Wednesday by the House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Mike Haffner, R-Pleasant Hill, aims to simplify what the state’s Annual Performance Reports (APRs) look like by putting a sole focus on student achievement and growth. APRs are used to inform the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education by measuring standardized tests, attendance and other metrics for purposes of accreditation and classification. Under the latest iteration of the Missouri School Improvement Program, or MSIP 6, student achievement and growth combine for 48% of the total score that makes up APRs. Haffner’s bill would increase the percentage to 50% each for elementary schools, while for secondary schools, 60% would account for college readiness and student growth and 40% for achievement. In essence, Haffner’s bill will do away entirely with the continuous improvement score that makes up 30% of APRs. Haffner said achievement and growth are met-

rics that have become the “national norm” and that Missouri is an “outlier” by not focusing on them. “We need to be measuring what actually matters,” Haffner said. The education department defines student growth as a “change in academic achievement for an individual student between two or more points in time.” The focus is not placed on improvement from one achievement level to another but on improvement within levels, according to the department. When asked by committee members, Haffner defined student growth as “measuring one student through two periods of time.” Haffner also wants to simplify what APRs look like on the department’s website. He said when he first moved to Missouri, it took him three days to find performance indicators for his children’s schools. “It should be accessible. It should be readily available. It should be transparent to parents,” Haffner said. But when Rep. Kathy Steinhoff, D-Columbia, asked Haffner what he envisions a school district report card would look like on a website under his legislation, Haffner said differences of opinion among stake-

Paul Ross

Paul Porter Ross, 89, of Cincinnati, Iowa, passed at the Israel Family Hospice House in Ames, IA, on Saturday, January 27, 2024. Paul Ross was born in rural Appanoose County on May 31st, 1934, the son of Homer and Grace (Porter) Ross. Paul graduated from Cincinnati High School in 1951. Following high school, he farmed and worked at the Baxter Box Factory in Centerville and Diamond Pharmaceuticals in Des Moines. Paul served in the United States Army from early 1957 to late 1958 as a Teletype Operator working with Morse code. Paul met Anna Parsons cruising the Unionville square

and they later married in Lemons, MO, on October 20, 1968. Paul’s entire life centered around agriculture helping his parents on their farm before starting to farm with his brother Kenneth at the age of sixteen. That is the farm he and Anna resided at until his death. Paul and Anna loved traveling in their camper as well as cruises to Alaska and Mexico. Most of all Paul loved afternoon drives around the countryside with his wife just soaking in the rural beauty. Paul will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Paul Ross is survived by his wife Anna of the home; daughter Janet Brodie and husband Greg of Ames, IA; and grandchildren, Brandon and Grace Brodie. His surviving sister-in-laws are Ruby Ross of Unionville, MO; Charlene Neasham and husband Jim of Newton, IA; and Melva Henderson and husband Don of Lake Ozark, MO. Paul is also survived by his nieces and nephews, Nancy Clough (John), Ronald Ross, Carol Ross, Tamara Yardley, Brian Yardley (Lyndi), and Jeff Henderson.

In addition to his parents, Paul was preceded in death by his brothers, Jesse Ross and Kenneth Ross and a sister, Joy Coe and her husband Richard. Funeral services for Paul were at Playle & Collins Family Funeral Home in Unionville, Missouri, on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, with the visitation one hour prior to the service.

achievement and their growth.” “I just believe all of those things matter,” Steinhoff said. “I do, too,” Haffner replied. “I agree with you.” Rep. Brad Pollitt, R-Sedalia, the committee chair, said part of the issue for school officials is understanding how the department determines growth. “The better we can simplify that so everybody understands how we define it, I think will be a step in the right direction,” Pollitt said.

The Story of the Four Chaplains -- Sacriﬁce at Sea Submitted by Lola Williams, Historian of the American Legion Auxiliary. On February 3rd ,1943, it was just after midnight an Army Transport, the USAT Dorchester, was headed to Greenland. A German U-boat had their sights on this ship and torpedoed it. As it was sinking four Chaplains gave their life jackets to four men who had none. These men were identified as Army Chaplains, George Fox (Methodist), Alexander Goode (Jewish), John Washington (Catholic) and Clark Poling (Reformed). After offering prayers, the men held hands as the ship was sinking knowing that their life was ending soon. The USAT Dorchester was an altered crew’s

ship that carried 705 troops, 130 crew members and 23 Navy armed guards. The crew was aware that they were in waters, known as torpedo junction. Hopefully they were going to make it through, but the officer in command told them to wear their clothing to bed that night. At 0055 on February 3rd they felt the hit of a torpedo which took out their electrical grid so the ship was pitch black but they scrambled to get into the boats or jumped overboard. Only 230 were saved of the 900 aboard. The four Chaplains were awarded the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross posthumously and in 1948 a commemorative stamp honored the men by the USPS.

holders convinced him to leave it out of the bill to provide for more flexibility. Steinhoff expressed concern with the idea of reducing APRs to two broad metrics. “I feel like we’re taking all of that data that can be very useful to a parent to interpret how their school is doing and bringing it down to one score,” Steinhoff said. “We’re not saying that they can’t provide that information,” Haffner replied. “What we’re saying, put a concise statement on there as to what really matters to student

LYONS, NEBRASKA – While the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act offers an unprecedented amount of funding to rural communities for infrastructure, energy, and conservation projects, applying for the grants can be challenging. “Rural communities have the desire and the need to make improvements,” said Lindsay Mouw, senior policy associate with the Center for Rural Affairs. “But, the application process can sometimes be an intimidating and time-consuming process for communities that have limited staff, time, or expertise.” A new resource from the Center for Rural Affairs seeks to demystify

the process by walking community leaders through the various stages of federal grant application. The new “Grant Application Guide for Rural Communities” provides tips and information for identifying grant opportunities, preparing to apply, setting a timeline, and writing and submitting an application. The guide also lists commonly used terms and phrases associated with grant application processes. Mouw said it’s important that rural communities don’t miss out on funding opportunities through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. She hopes the guide serves as a valuable tool in their planning efforts. “Communities that

They may be made of any material that meets temperature requirements and passes the standard test. Typically, installed ROPS are made of steel that will not fracture in cold temperatures and are precision welded. A factory installed ROPS will have a certification label attached to the roll bar starting that the roll bar meets SAE/ASAE/ OSHA standards. Modification of a factory installed ROPS (cutting, grinding, frilling, or welding) is unauthorized and unwise. It can impair the ROPS ability to carry out its function in the event of an overturn. Three types of ROPS are available for agricultural tractors: • Two-post ROPS • Four-post ROPS • ROPS with an enclosed cab Two-post ROPS are the most common and are available in either rigid or foldable models. The rigid ROPS has upright posts that are vertical or slightly tilted and mount to the rear axle. The foldable ROPS was designed with hinges to allow the ROPS to fold to fit low clearance areas. A four-post ROPS is mounted onto both axles and onto the frame in front of the operator. ROPS with an enclosed cab is typically installed by the manufacturer and the structure acts as a ROPS. To maintain a ROPS, inspect and service the ROPS and seat belt periodically for extreme rust, cracks, or other signs of wear. Any signifi-

facturer or dealer should be consulted to determine a suitable course of action. Never drill holes into a ROPS or weld a piece of steel onto the frame. If lightning or other light attachments are needed, they should be clamped onto the ROPS. A ROPS should not be used as a point of attachment for a chain, hook, or cable. Pulling with the ROPS could damage it and result in a rear overturn. If a tractor with a ROPS does overturn, the ROPS should be replaced because it is designed to bend to absorb the overturn energy generated when the tractor contacts the ground. ROPS are only designed and certified to withstand one overturn. Retrofit ROPS are available. A listing of ROPS for farm tractors manufactured since 1967 is available in “A Guide to Agricultural Tractor Rollover Protection”

National ROPS Rebate Program (https://www. ropsr4u.com/) website. A homemade ROPS is not recommended because the materials and tools necessary to design one that withstands an overturn are not readily available to the public. A ROPS used without a seatbelt will not provide full protection to the operator. Be aware that a ROPS will not prevent an overturn, but can prevent injury to the operator once the overturn occurs. The ROPS and properly worn seatbelt provides the most protection in an overturn incident. Find more details and a wealth of ROPS resources at https:// www.ropsr4u.org/rollover-facts.php.

Missouri’s Third District Danny Busick, State Representative

Health Beneﬁts Coverage for Farm Bureau Members HB2082 A few years ago the federal government passed the Affordable Care Act which I will refer to as the ACA from here on out, because the ACA is anything but affordable. It was passed with the caveat that it would lower health insurance premiums. Sadly health insurance premiums have steadily risen since. Citizens with low incomes get subsidies. Citizens who are in the middle class pay huge premiums. Many a Missouri farmer finds themselves in the latter category. Therefore many farmers or their spouse work a job outside the farm to receive health coverage. Thus making their farms less productive. HB2082, if passed will give the Farm Bureau organization statutory authority to offer their members a health benefits option. This option

will give their members a much more affordable choice. More affordable health benefits would give our farmers and their spouses a chance to stay on the farm full time. Therefore giving them a chance to make their farms the most productive as possible. Another positive about this bill. You don’t have to be a farmer to become a Farm Bureau member. You can become a member of Farm Bureau by simply paying an annual membership fee which is very reasonable. Thus allowing many citizens of Missouri the opportunity to access more affordable health coverage. Any time we can give Missourians more choices, it almost always has a good outcome Due to the recent passage of Amendment 1 on November 6, 2018, please be advised that any communications or

documents received by this office that were previously treated as confidential may now be subject to public disclosure pursuant to any request made under the Missouri Sunshine Law. As always it’s a privi-

Dan Hegeman was confirmed by the full Senate to the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission and Dennis Hicks was confirmed as the Livingston County eastern district commissioner. Earlier this week, the Senate Local Government and Elections Committee held a hearing on several resolutions dealing with initiative petition reform. Ultimately, several of these were consolidated into one piece of legislation. Senate Joint Resolution 74, if approved by voters, would require all proposed constitutional amendments to receive a majority of the votes cast statewide, as well as a majority of the votes cast in at least a majority of the state house districts.

The Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee has heard testimony regarding the governor’s recommendations and on Feb. 1 heard from the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development. These hearings will continue for most of the legislative session until the budget is passed by both chambers, which has a constitutional deadline of May 10. Next week, some of my colleagues and I will be hosting “Great Northwest Days” in Jefferson City, Missouri. Every county in the 12th Senatorial District will be represented and is an ideal opportunity to share our values with members of the General Assembly and staff that may not visit too often.

Columbia, MO, January 31, 2024 – The Missouri Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting applications for the Organic Transition Initiative (OTI) funding. Applications received through March 1, 2024, will be considered for funding in fiscal year (FY) 2024. Funding for OTI supports conservation practices required for organic certification. The initiative will help build new and better markets and income streams, strengthen local and regional food systems and increase affordable food supply for more Americans, while promoting climate-smart agriculture and ensuring equity for all producers. “NRCS can help producers develop a conservation plan that meets their goals and can often help with financial assistance to implement elements of the conservation plan,” said Acting Assistant State Conservationist for Programs Susan Mammen. “The organic transition period can be challenging for

producers, and NRCS is here to help.” NRCS will assist producers with the organic management standard, which launched in 2023, under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Missouri will administer its allocated funds through financial and technical assistance to producers to address natural resource concerns. Higher payment rates and other options are available for Historically Underserved producers, including socially disadvantaged, beginning, veteran and limited resource farmers and ranchers. While applications are accepted year-round, applications submitted by March 1 will be considered for the next available funding. Applications received after March 1 will be considered during the next funding cycle. For more information about NRCS programs and assistance, visit www.mo.nrcs.usda.gov or contact the NRCS service office serving your county.

Joe’s Bits and Pieces

Joe Koenen, AgriBusiness Specialist (Mo Extension Ret.) PURPLE PAINT OR NO TRESPASS I plan to continue a discussion on boundary issues today with the purple paint law in Missouri. I want to thank an old friend who lived here but is now in Florida for mentioning this topic to me. The purple paint law in Missouri was enacted several years ago as an alternative to posting “no trespassing signs” on your land. It, along with the purple paint, makes it a 1st class felony instead of a third if someone comes onto your land without permission. First class trespass has a higher fine and penalties than does 3rd class trespass. The actual law is located at chapter 569.145 of the Missouri Revised Statutes. Remember, however, that a landowner or leasee has a higher obligation with minors and invitees (persons you invite onto your property) than you do with trespassers. So, what are the requirements if you want to do the purple paint marks? (1) the marks must be a minimum of 8 inches long and placed no lower than 3 feet off the ground or more than 5 feet above the ground. (2) they can be placed on fence posts or trees but not buildings or at least buildings are not mentioned in the statute. (3) Paint marks must be readily visible to anyone approaching the property so not hidden. (4) The paint marks cannot be farther than 100 feet apart on the property. Some other issues are the paint is available in

many hardware and other stores in Missouri but must be a pinkish purple that is the right color. Ask for purple paint law paint. If both landowners agree to do this, it can be painted on both sides of the post. If not, you can put it on your side but make certain it is visible to someone coming onto the property and maybe include some no trespassing signs also. A class one trespass charge can carry with it up to a $500 fine or up to 6 months in jail. There is a more detailed information on this at www.extension.missouri.edu and type in “purple paint”. Contact me (660) 6266923 or koenenjoe@ outlook.com if you have any more questions. REMINDERS Your county extension ofﬁce should have tree order forms from the Missouri Department of Conservation now as well as the Putnam County SWCD office. They are “first come, first served” so do not delay to get them if you are interested. Several of our offices, Putnam and Sullivan County included, are hiring. Putnam is hiring a Youth Program Associate/Office Manager position that you can find on the Face Book page or online at Career opportunities with MU Extension | MU Extension (missouri.edu).

A Look Back:

Putnam County in the News The following items were excerpted from the February 27, 1924, edition of The Unionville Republican. It is interesting that several of the sentiments expressed in some of these items echo those being heard today 100 years later. CORNERSTONE FINALLY LAID The cornerstone of the new and magnificent Putnam County courthouse was formally laid this afternoon by Unionville Lodge No. 210 … assisted by many visiting brethren. The program was carried out as advertised. The principle address was delivered by Past Grand Master C. H. Briggs of Springfield. This address was a powerful plea for the maintenance of law and order and a firm belief in the fundamental things underlying our civilization, both being cardinal principles of Free Masonry and during which he pledged the continued cooperation of the Masonic order. He traced the growth of the order through its long history, and related the changes which occurred as eternal truths of Christianity became increasingly apparent. The purpose of this lodge, he pointed out, was to safeguard these basic truths, and to build not merely piles of brick and stone, but solid character in the hearts of men to stand solidly against anarchy on the one hand and against despotism on the other. The speaker declared that there is today a very great need for a return to the fundamental Christian faith of our fathers, that the many forms

of crime now rampant throughout the country is the result of getting too far away from the faith in the Bible, and its teachings. … *** RESOLUTION Powersville, Missouri, Feb. 15, 1924 Whereas, We (Citizens of Powersville, MO., and community in Mass Meeting assembled) believe that much of our war debt arose from war profits and much of the war debt is held and owned by citizens o great financial fortune, a large part of which they acquired directly or indirectly because of the war and whereas our soldier boys by reason of the selective draft were forced to engage or to prepare to engage in gruesome, ghastly human slaughter and destruction for less compensation than any other of our citizens, therefore, be it Resolved, as follows: That we favor and are anxious for the speedy enactment of an adjusted compensation (not bonus) law more favorable to the soldier boys than any bill yet offered in Congress. That we oppose the Mellon plan and any other plan, of tax reduction on any net income in excess of $5,000. That rather than a tax reduction on large incomes we favor a more rapid debt reduction. That the war debt be paid (as nearly as may be) from the war profits and that it is unfair, unpatriotic and unreasonable to require a homeless soldier to help pay

the war debt after he was forced to risk the loss of his life or to risk having his life ruined by impairment of his body or mind for the contemptible alleged payment of a dollar and a quarter a day. Be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the President of the U. S., one to each of our U. S. Senators, one to our Congressman, one to each newspaper in this county and one to the National Commander of the American Legion. – Mrs. Sarah Halley, Mr. George Sulser, Mr. S. L. Simmons, Committee *** TO THE TELEPHONE PATRONS We are arranging our operating force to have a chief operator and selected Mis Sarah Clark, one of our very best operators, for the position. Her duty will be o improve the service by more efficient operating. We hope each patron will give their hearty cooperation and remember that good service does not depend entirely upon the operator. The party calling, the party being called, as well as the operator each are responsible. When your telephone rings, answer it as promptly as you would like to be answered. In the near future we expect to give a series of suggestions in the paper, -Putnam County Tel. Co. *** AMENDMENTS APPARENTLY DEFEATED IN PUTNAM The twenty-one amendments, comprising the suggested changes in the state constitution as worked out by the Constitutional Convention, apparently were all defeated in Putnam county, judging from the meager information

available at the present time. Only one of them – No. r, which is the soldier bonus one – was carried in the two precincts of Union township, and the remainder all went down to defeat. In Richland township all of the amendments without exception were defeated. The vote was extremely light. With a possible vote of more than 1,200 in Union township there were but 150 ballots cast in Northeast Union, and but 162 votes cast in Southwest Union. Richland township cast only 50 votes. Very little interest has been manifested over the rural districts of Missouri in this special election. Whatever interest has be exhibited has been chiefly confined to the large cities, which means that the fate of the amendments has been decided by the vote in

them.

*** 10 Years Ago This Week [1914] The Mendota Coal Co. is selling its land holdings around Mendota. The first shoe repairing machine run by electricity has been installed here by Drummond & Cromer. 20 Years Ago This Week [1904] The Iowa and St. Louis railroad sale to the Burlington has been completed. *** EDITORIAL City Primary Next Tuesday Next Tuesday has been set as the date upon which the Republican city ticket shall be nominated. This is a highly important date for the citizens of Unionville, and should hole the in-

terest of every voter. Unionville has on its hands what is probably the biggest job it has ever undertaken – that of laying the new sewer system. Much of the preliminary detail work has been done already, but there is much more to do, and practically all of the construction is yet to be done. The proper execution of this job is of vital interest to every citizen of the town. … * ADVERTISEMENTS Spot Cash Grocery was offering large size pkg. Post Toasties, 10c; large size pkg.
