Large delegations representing the Commercial -Clubs of Butler, Rich Hill, Hume, Amsterdam and Merwin ° were in attendance, most of them — coming in automobiles, and by seven o’clock Amoret presented the appear- |ance of a gala day. After a bountiful supper served, by ‘the Amoret club to the visiting dele- ~ gations, the members of the Federa- tion assembled at the speaker’s stand and H.H. Sheppard of Rich Hill, President of the County Federation, called the meeting to order. Editor Frank E. Pattee of the Amo- ret Leader, delivered a most hospit- able address of welcome, and the fol- lowing speakers of the evening ad- . dressed the meeting: J. B. Bryant of Hume, ‘‘The Pos-- Si sibilities of Bates County as to Oil, , Gas, Coal, etc.”’ é John H. Braden of Amsterdam, “Team Work’’ (United We Stand, Divided We Fall.) A. H. Culver of Butler, ‘‘Plans. to Be Ma Bates County.”’ k W. A. Williams of Harn, Be “tad Roads and How to Get Them.”’ H. O. Maxey of Butler, ‘‘The Schools of Bates County.” ae J.D. Moore of Rich Hill, ‘‘Good : Roads.” Howell H. Heck. Howell Hi Heck, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Prosecut- ing Attorney, was born and reared in ‘ Rich Hill. His father, J. J. Heck, i came to Rich Hill in the early 80’s ra and opened a cigar factory which he has since run continuously. At an early age young Heck began working. in his father’s factory, learning the trade. By this means he was able in a large measure to pay his own ex- penses while attending the law school of the State University. Since his graduation he has been in the active practice of law in Rich Hill. Mr. Heck was appointed City At- torney of Rich Hill in April, 1913, . which office he now holds. He has collected more delinquent taxes than has any city attorney in recent years. Mr. Heck says the reason that he aspires to the office is because “it is a stepping stone for a young man, giving him an acquaintanceship with the people so that he can share in their law business.”’ Being city attorney it is his duty to prosecute violators of city ordinances and in the discharge of fhis duty the cases are goverened by the same cuting attorney handles in the -circuit court, so that he is experienced in Attorney’s office. He is free from all influences, and elected he will prosecute all violators political or financial | standing. Frank Holland’s Father Injured. Butler, Mo., July 29, 1914.
