and made such a constant yelling nose
as made all the woods ring OF them,

AN AMUSING SCENE.
At the II. & ST. Joseph Depot Tues
day ternOOn-Amusing TO Us.

Tuesday afternoon there were
five home real estate men, one
from Illinois and several pro-
speetive buyers at the 10. de-
pot.
One of the five approached
the pencil pusher and entered
into a conversation, which led
the. DEMOCRATS representative
to hand him a copy of last
weeks paper containing the an
nual shipping report and short
description of the city and vi
cinity.
He hurriedly read it and then
remarked: What did you real
estate men pay for this write
up? Where did you get onto
it? Why that is the way they
do it in Texas" These were
the hot questions the visitor
fired at them.
And then the newspaper ma n
had to have his innings, aud he
had 'em.
Approaching the stranger, he
said: THE real estate intere SITS
in this city do not take a partI-
Gle of interest in as valuable a
thing to them as that. That
interest has not put up one
penny. nor furnished one lick of
data or information. nor has it
and the other business interests
even given it thought S far as
to thank the paper that spends
in time and labor from Is to 60
minutes each Wednesday of the
fifty collecting that matter and
then spends from one and half
days to three days the first of
each year collecting, verifying
and compiling that report
The visitor then cracked loose
with: "Shame on you tellers!
You ought to at the least give
MIN suit of clothes, including
an overcoat."
Thank goodness VIC have not
looked for a reward. therefore
have not been disappointed.
We realize, we know the
beauties and the value of this
section of the country to our
fellow man, and it was love tor
and pride in our native country
which prompted us several year
ago to get out an annual ship
ping report and 1t was that, not
pay, that has caused us to con-
tinue the work.

The Sedalia Democrat says:
I'VE can all conserve our indi-
vidual interest by giving a lit
tie more time and attention to
the common interests. Let's
all work together for Sedalia,
and individually for ourselves.
Promote the prosperity of our
community and thus make our
own success possible"
This embodies a large amount
of good, practical sense. While
it is right for citizens to give
their best attention to their own
business, yet there are many
who do so exclusively and give
no time or thought to the COM
mon interests of all. If the
general community, the city,
town and state, do not prosper
then the individual cannot!-

Killed the Wrong Cow.

Bill Pratt, the gigantic "critter''
sticker of the Gottwerth meat market.
went forth on Monday last with a
scraggy old COW to the slaughter.
Both reached the place of butchery,
and, while Bill was arranging the fix
ings for execution, the COW escaped
into a neighboring pasture. There
were other cows there. Bill, upon
missing his ''critter," bolted forth
and captured the first animal which
bore resemblance to the lost dried
up. He butchered it and returned
home with it's carcass. The next day
Gottwerth was visited by good
natured old farmer, who presented a
bill for milk COW appropriated by
his (Gottwerth's) butcher under Pc
culiar circumstances. The farmer
said that, as it was impossible to ex-
tract any milk from the s'critter'' left
in exchange, he considered 1928 very
fair difference in the two animals.
Gottwerth paid the bill. OF course it
comes out of Bills salary.

furthermore believe that the evidence
of Riley, wherein he declared that the
Jew was an innocent party and that
he met him for the first time in Nicker-
son, was part of a prearranged plan
whereby it was sought to secure the
liberation of the sheeny that he might
assist Riley to escape. Had Abras
been liberated for want of evidence
Riley could then have sworn that he
received the plunder from the Jew and
knew not from whence it had been OBJ
tanned.
There is scarcely doubt that these
two, robbers had been working to-
gether and that Abras, the Jew, acted
as a watchdog for Riley while he
burglarized the Evens store. Three
reputable citizens have made affidavit
that they saw him in Princeton on the
day upon which the store is said to
have been burglarized, and the sheriff
declares that measurements of foot
prints in the Evens alley correspond
with the shoes worn by both of the
prisoners.
There is reason to believe that the
two criminals we're pals-that Riley
followed the cracksman's art while
the sheeny played the double role of
sentinel and disposer Of the plunder
at the Jew fences.

PRINCETON VS.. MONTICELLO.

Two High School Mines Do Battle at the
Fair Grounds.
The boys from the Monticello high
school came over on Saturday with
the avowed determination of showing
the home students how to play ball
and, metaphorically speaking, of
wiping them off the diamond, but re-
turned home in an altogether different
spirit, for the little fellows of the
Princeton high vanquished them COM
pletely. The Monticello team is COM
posed mostly of boys very much
heavier than the Princetons, conse-
quently the home nine, after sizing up
the visitors, became a little nervous
and expected their finish. But they
braced up to their antagonists, made
some splendid plays, and came out
victors in score of s to 3.
The boys feel jubilant over their
recent victories and say that, after a
little more practice, they will not be
afraid to tackle the regular Princeton
Baseball club. They are to be COM
mended for their grit. The game was
played at the fair grounds and at
tracted a big crowd of enthusiasts.

Must Have His Weekly.

Tackle the average farmer on the
subject of national, state or local
politics and you will find him much
better posted than the average city
man. You will find that he is always
ready to give reason for his politi-
cal beliefs. He is not the sort of man
that waits for some politician to tell
him what way he should vote. He
reads, ponders and does cheap of
thinking"
He may subscribe for an agricul-
tural paper, but he cannot get from
that the political pabulum he bankers
for. He must have his political
weekly, his newspaper, which he dill
gently reads and digests, and he
wants the best that there is in this
line.-Kansas City Weekly Star.

A PICkEREL PARTY.

Misses Margaret Campbell and Grace
Dunn Capture Big Fish In Elk Lake.
Miss Margaret Campbell of the
Hamline university was the guest of
her schoolmate, Miss Grace Dunn,
on Saturday and Sunday. Accom-
panied by George Dunn, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ferrell and family, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Staples and family, the two young
ladies enjoyed a fishing excursion to
Elk lake on Saturday afternoon and
were fortunate in securing a splendid
string of pickerel. Miss Grace car
ried off high honors by landing, un-
assisted, a dfteen-pounder, and Miss
Margaret came in second with fish
almost as heavy. George did the
rowing, cleaned the fish and fried
them for supper.
It was anirthful little party which
sat down to that fish fry, and the
rapidity with which the big hunks of
pickerel were divested of their bony
structure and slowed away was amaz-
ing. There were two of the party,
however, who had lost appetite.
These we're Margaret and Grace, and
to their thrilling experience in landing
the monsters of the deep and the at
tending excitement can alone be at
tributed this condition. It stole their
appetites away. At about 10 O'Clock
the party arrived home, bringing 10
pickerel. The biggest part of the
string-l fsh-were consumed at the
lake.
