Blunder Expensive.

Galesburg Republican-Register: In
High school senior circles the sensa-
ton of the week has been over an
$500 bill for $4,000 commencement
invitations, now held on c. o. D. at
the Adams Express office. And
commencement is not far off. All
due to a cipher which made $4,000
out of 1900, showing the value of a
cipher!
When Hhe firm in Philadelphia,
The Elliot Engraving Co., which is
one of the largest firms of its kind
in the world, received the orderthey
telegraphed to the local school to
see if a mistake had been made be-
fore printing the invitations. The
blunder was still unknown to the
person that sent the order and the
firm was Immediately wired that
the amount was correct.
On Thursday of last week the in
vitations arrived and when the bill
was sent to the High school the
mistake was discovered. The
amount that the invitations came to
including the express was some
thing over eight hundred dollars. 1t
is needless to say it caused conSter-
nation, for the superstition was the
bill would be about $110.

Bump.

An English sparrow attracted
considerable attention to itself on
Main street Friday morning. There
was a pretty white moth fluttering
against the inside of one of H. B.
Mudd's plate glass windows ands.the
sparrow was persistently humping
against the glass from the outside
in vain attempt to catch it for
breakfast, Many people are like
that poor moth. To have done as
it wanted to, get out, would have
meant its destruction by the spar
row and it is the same way with a
large numbered people, To do as
they want to do would mean their
destruction.

Whose Comet?

The latest discovery by French
astronomers, is that the comet now
in the western sky is not Halley's.
According to the astronomers, Hal
leys comet will not be visible I'M
til August or September.
Hannibal star-gazers enjoyed an
excellent view of the nomad last
night, which shone brightly until
late in the evening. The tailiwhose
existence has been persistently ques-
toned, streamed out behind the
nucleus for is or 20 degrees Cour-
Ter Post.
HalIey's comet has done more
to discredit astronomers than all
other causes combined. They have
simply been lost in conjecture,
speculation and the mist of theory
ever since the, an or it, call it what
you will, first come into view.

Monroe City.

The fact that we have as good
town as there is in Northeast Mis-
souri, is conceded every day. 1t is
no unusual thing to hear our town
highly complimented by the travel
Ing public and express surprise at.
the general evidence of enterprise
and thrift. There is no question
but what our town possesses an at
mosphere that impresses, and the
reason for it is, it is populated by
the right kind of people.
The citizenship of Monroe City is
unit. We have no factions no fric-.
ton, but a united people ready to
push and 90 to the very extent of
their means and ability to develop
the town when matters of public
interest are properly presented.
When it comes to the evidence of
social and christian refinement it is
found on every hand and no indi-
vidual ever lived in Monroe City
but realizes the fact that he came
in touch with a bouyant atmosphere
that develops enterprise and feel
ing of deep respect for the place
that renders home sweet home the
most sacred sentiment incident to
the human heart.
Hospitality is one of the chief
characteristics of Monroe City. 1t
can not be otherwise as it is nat
ural impulse arising from the right
methods of life. Take quiet walk
through our town, notice the evil
dence of thrift, the beauty and
cleanliness of the homes, the feeling
domestic love and peace that pre-
walls and you will readily under
stand all that we claim for Monroe
City as an ideal place for a home,
exactly the place to rear a family
right.
We believe the time has arrived
when we feel and recognize the
many undeveloped advantages that
we possess, and there is no reason
why if we are true to the impulse
of progress, give vent to that condi-
ton of faith which is necessary to
true citizenship. but what the popu-
lation of our town can be doubled
in the next five years. 'Cant's, butts
and dont's never serve any purpose
in the upbuilding of anything, as it
is negfOrce that tears down and
degenerates. What we want is that
good. positive creative force that
that does something, a faith in our
town, a faith that was outlined by
the Master of men over two thous-
and years ago; when He asserted
the truth pertaining to the most
wonderful natural law:-"According
to Your Faith be 1t Unto You" 60

.OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS
PRESENT DIFFICULTY
Directors Will Renew Appeal
for Bond Election

-- OAKLAND, Aug. almost every
school in the city is overcrowded at
the opening of the fall term, and three
days have not been sufficient to adjust
the attendance to the facilities. Su-
perintendent McClymonds will ask the
board of education TO renew it's ap-
peal to the city council to call a bond
election to provide larger grounds and
new buildings.
The registration of new pupils will
continue through this week. and it is
probable that new classes viii be or
ganized and put in charge of substitute
teachers in spare basement rooms.
The full attendance this year already
is greater than at the close of last
term. when of 22,193 pupils 1900 were
in the grammar grades and 1920 in
the high schools. Several new teachers
have been added to the department, but
the number seems likely TO be still
insufficient. There are now 42S teach
ers in the grammar and primary
grades, so in the high schools and I5
in the night schools.

confer with the supervisors in regard
to having the route by way of Hay
ward selected. reported that the local
route had been approved by Super

by County Surveyor P. l. Haviland.
Two routes have been submitted to
the supervisors. One is the continual
ton of the present boulevard at B

then along San Lorenzo creek into
Dublin canyon. The other leaves the

FOR YOUR HAIR
Here Are Facts We Want
You to Prove at Our Risk

Marvellous as it may seem, Rexall
"e3" Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. OF course
it is understood that in none of these
cases were the hair roots dead nor had
the scalp taken on glazed, shiny
appearance.
When the roots of the. hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, we do not believe
that anything can restore hair growth.
When Rexa1l ''93" Hair Tonic will
do as above stated, it is not strange
that we have such great faith in it
and that we claim it will prevent bald
ness when used in time. 1t acts scien-
tifcally, destroying the germs which
are usually responsible for badness.
1t penetrates to the roots of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them. 1t is
a most pleasant toilet necessity, is
delicately perfumeJ and will not gum
nor permanently stain the hair
We want you to get a bottle of
RexaI "93" Hair Tonic and use it as
directed. If it does not relieve scalp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent the
hair from falling out and promote an
increased growth of hair and in every
way give entire satisfaction simply
come back and tell us and without
question or formality we will hand
back TO you every penny you paid us
for it.
We lend our endorsement to Rexan
"93" Hair Tonic and sell it on this
guarantee. because we believe it is the
best hair tonic ever discovered 1t
comes in two sizes,-prices so cents and
S1.00. Remember, you can obtain il
