Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1910-02-24

There are at present two real
candidates for the United States
Senatorship on the Democratic
ticket. They are David R. Francis,
who announced last week and
James A. Reed who announced in
December. Both are big men and
would honor Missouri and the Dem,
Ocratic party in, the Senate. Reed
is regular Benton, Jim Green or a
Vest on the stump. AS an orator
he has not an equal in the state.
Francis is a man Of large affairs
and a man of big influence and a
big reputation. Friends of Ex-
Governor Folk are urging him to
enter the race. We are for anyone
of the three that gets the nomina-
ton at the fall election. Some of
the friends of Folk and many Mis-
SauTl Democrats are urging FOLK
for the democratic nomination for
President. Amy way the Demo-
Gratis of Missouri fix the matter up
will be perfectly satisfactory to us
and should be to every Democrat in
the state. All we can and do ask
for is the nomination of good, clean
men for office. We don't care an
iota whether they were old guards,
new guards or home guards Just
so they are not blackeuards. Every
Democrat will be called upon to
make choice; but in doing this
there is no use in trying to raise a
racket with the other fellow
Clarence Courier.

Free Seed Corn.

Why not quit raising scrub"
corn? Why not plant enough pure
bred seed this spring to supply you
for the future? There is as much
difference between scrub" corn and
pure bred corn as there is between
a scrub" steer and a pure bred
steer. Pure bred corn will produce
much larger yield per acre than
ordinary seed. Until further notice
the Farmer and Breeder, published
mt Columbia, Mo-, will give away
free quart of pure bred corn with
every new subscription. A quart will
plant a quarter of an acre and give
you all the pure seed you need for
future use. The Farmer and Breed
er is a big monthly and costs only
Soc per year. 1t is published in the
home of MiSsouri's great Agricul-
tural College and every issue is full
of articles by Agricultural experts
on the raising of all kinds of Farm
Crops. the Care and Feeding of Live
Stock, Dairying. Fruit Growing
Fertilizine the Soil, Poultry Raising
and every other farm subject. Any
single issue is worth the price.
Every ounce of this seed corn will
be tested by seed experts before it
is sent out. You can have either a
yellow or white variety. This ad-
vertisement is appearing in hun
dreds of newspapers and our sup
ply of seed will soon be exhausted.
So send or leave your subscription
at once at the Office of the Monroe
City Democrat. which will forward
it to us. If

A-standin' out as real as life an

But now she's quit a-paintin' fruits
fer other subjects that appeal
The latest thing that sisters done in
oil is called "A Leg of Veal"
Twas just little while ago she
painted somethin' pretty fine
A bunch O grapes as natural as
though they hung upon the vine;
An basket on stand was cher

With oranges an apples both a-sOrt

Twas mighty nice, but somethin'
that she done today just takes
the cake.
1t shows a link O sausages, ham,

No, sister don't paint fruits no more
but she can paint a mutton chop
So natural you'd swear twas one

That's bound to revelutionized what
