Farm Bureau’s Thanksgiving Food Survey Shows Bittersweet Results
The results for Missouri Farm Bureau’s annual market basket survey on the costs of a Thanksgiving meal are out. The survey is conducted in conjunction with a national price poll by the American Farm Bureau Federation.
To make food-cost comparisons fair from year to year, premade items like cubed stuffing mix, pie shells and pumpkin pie mix are included. “Your table will likely have something similar, but perhaps made from grandma’s favorite or even a secret family recipe,” said Diane Olson, director of Missouri Farm Bureau’s promotion and education program.

Chicken pox exposure to Butler R-V students possible
A letter has been sent home with the Elementary Students enrolled at the Butler R-V School district to inform parents of possible exposure to chicken pox. The health department recommends that you watch your child for signs and symptoms of the disease.
Chicken Pox is a common illness that causes an itchy rash and red spots or blisters all over the body. It can spread easily by an infected person whom sneezes, coughs or shares food or drinks.
Symptoms are fever, headache and sore throat. Your child may feel sick, tired, and not very hungry. The rash usually appears about 1-2 days after the first symptoms start.
Aspirin or Ibuprofen should never be given with chicken pox, due to the risk of Rye’s syndrome. Parents should check with their child’s physician before giving any medicine.
If you find your child has chicken pox, contact the Butler Elementary School Nurse at 660-679-6591 extension 170.
Your child should remain out of school until all the chicken pox lesions have crusted over, which takes approximately 5 days.
The best way to prevent your child from getting chicken pox is through vaccination. These are available at your local health department.
A chicken pox vaccine is now available for children 12 month and older, and for teens and adults who have not had the illness.

The History of Veteran's Day
History of Veterans Day
World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”
Soldiers of the 353rd Infantry near a church at Stenay, Meuse in France, wait for the end of hostilities. This photo was taken at 10:58 a.m., on November 11, 1918, two minutes before the armistice ending World War I went into effect
In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…"
The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m.
