driving and in throwing a blank

kicked, the blow landing on the

One Farmers Wife.

Mrs. Mary H. Griffin, of near
Shiel, has made a record for
raising poultry. For the past
four years she has sold from 800
to S137 worth of eggs per year
and from $15 10 $50 worth of
chickens each year. And each
of the four years she has mark
eted from 1920 to S165 worth of
turkeys. For the four years
her poultry teed (she buys it)
has averaged her $50. Then on
the side, for pocket change,
she raises a few hogs. Now,
who comes next? 1t takes a
dandy to beat a farmers wife

Monroe or Marion counties.

happy suggestion upon his part
and it's realization means mil.

is entitled to much credit for
his idea and we would be much
pleased TO see Governor Dock

-Moberly Democrat.
AS the Worlds Fair to be
held in ST. Louis in 1908 is now
certainty. there are some i'm
portant places to be filled by
men who are competent and
who will makenit a success. We
do not know of a more worthy
person who is an applicant to
be placed on the Worlds Fair
commission than w. J. Rouse,
editor of the Monroe City DEM
oCRAT. 1t can be truly said
that he was the first among the
newspaper men of the state to
suggest the Louisiana purchase
celebration. 1t was by his per
sistent efforts that d resolution
was introduced and passed at
the winter meeting of the Mis-
souri, Press Association, held at
Kansas City in 1898. pledging
the support of the association
to the proposed worlds fair.

Rouse appointed.-La caster

less belongs the honor of first
suggesting the celebration OF
the Louisiana purchase by hold
ing a Worlds fair in st. Louis
in l903-the centennial anniver-
sary of the event that has meant
so much TO the United States.
The idea of a fitting celebration
of this event originated in the
mind of Mr.. Rouse while doing
editorial work in the DEMOCRAT
office, and shortly after he
wrote an editorial for his pa
per, suggesting and strongl y
adv Jcating the project. Later
the country press took up the
subject enthusiastically. and il
