ARE YOU A
Believer Ia Civic Righteousness and Clean
Men iu Officer The Democrat is.

=: Do the civic righteous people
believe what they are trying to-
teach? Do they want an honest
ballotP Do they want clean,
honest officials in both high aud
low plaCess
If so, there is one and only
one way to arrive at that de-
sired destination. Study the
careers of your public men and
know their records tor integrity
or trickery. Study the business
and social records OF men who
want to become officials and if
they are not clean, turn their
ambitions down and their faces
to the wall.
The DEMOCRAT believes in
clean men-civic righteousness
in low places as we'll as high,
aEd to that end will continue to
give records of men asking
favors of the people. And in so
doing, is pursuing a plain, prac-
tical course and not a myth in
.dreamland.
To hide the records Of, or to
remain quiet, or lay down on
the records of men posing as
clean when in reality they are
dirty and sour, is to deceive tue
people and become an alder aud
abettor or tool of the very peo-
pie whom those who cry for
for civic righteousness claim
they are trying to oust.
So the DEMOCRAT will con-
tinue to give the news and acts
of public meu who wish to cou-
tinue as leaders a'ud if YOU be-
lieve in -''Civic Righteousne $50

ing the paper. and if you do not

the roof off of two sides of his
handsome residence.

204, 725, 900 bushels, or, counting
100 ears to the bushel, 90, 472, =
500, 600 ears of corn. The aver
age ear is about three inches ia
diameter. If these ears of corn
had been laid side by side they
would have girdled the earth
forty times, instead of once.
The average length Of an ear of
corn is one foot therefore the
crop of last year would have
thrown a belt forty feet wide
entirely around the globe. This
corn crop grew upon 6,982, 00O
acres of Missouri soil. Where
the year before this same land
produced forty bushels to the
acre, last year, on account Of
the dry weather, the production
was only 29,7 bushels per acre.
