Open Meeting of the Buchanan
Grange.

We regret very much that we
were unable to announce the open
meeting of the Grange held Friday
evening, that more of our friends
might have been present. Owing
to the fact that we were not notifi-
ed of the meeting until late that
afternoon it was impossible for
US to make public announcement.
We hope that in the near future
we may arrange for another such
event, and extend an invitation to
those who are not members so
early that they may be with US.
The readings by Master Tom
Miles and Miss Nan Buchanan were
very enjoyable features of the pro-
gram and we hope that we may
again hear from these popular num-
bers at an early date.
The debate on which is more de-
sirable, County or City Life, was in
a class to itself. In the good sound
argument produced by Mrs. Miles.
Mr.. Meyer and Mr.. Conboy, with
the witty remarks and good argu-
ment of Messrs VIM. R. and Chas
R. Buchanan, we had treat that
we are sure will not soon be sur
passed. The decision of the judge
favored Country life
Mr.. Raine's talk on Grange affairs
was interesting as well as instruct
i've. We regret more were not
present to hear him.
If you want to get more out of
life; if you are an honest, upright
man or woman; if you want to help
your fellow-being and be helped by
your fellOW-being, break away from
yourself, mix more with others
and lose some of that seIfShness
by becoming a member of the
Grange. We want you. We neeC
you, and you need us.

Sec. Buchanan Grange.

THURSDAY, FEB. 2, 1911

This writer wishes to make a few
remarks to the people of Monroe
City, especially the business men,
in regard to the business interests
of the town. Through the Monroe
City Democrat | am ready and in
fact am now putting forth every
effort possible to further the inter
eSts of our little city, both financial
Iy and morally. We have every
element necessary to make up a
prosperous and happy community.
We have some manufacturing eS-
adjustments and room for more.
We have fine mercantile concerns
dealing in all kinds of merchandise
used in this section of the country.
The professions are well and ably
represented. We have fine churches
and schools and many other insti-
tutions that are good and benefic-
ial | am convinced that Monroe
City is situated in the midst of as
fine farming country as can be
found, or at least it can easily be
made such This assertion is made
without fear of successful COntradic-
ton Now in looking over the
prospect and giving the matter
much thought | am convinced that
like the tide we can't be still. If
we don't 90 forward we 90 back and
this town is just at that point
Which way shall we 90? 1t is no
trouble to 60 back, and the further
we 90 back the faster we 60, and it
is said that this backward move
ment causes the town to be afflict-
ed with a dense growth of fungus,
and VINO likes a moss-grown town?
The question then presents itself,
what are we going to do about it,
| am not here to tell the people
what to do and how to do it for
perhaps | don't know myself. But
there are plenty of people here who
do know just what to do and all
that is necessary is to arouse them
from an apparently peaceful slum-
Der If these citizens could be Suf-
ficiently awakened to get their eyes
half open, do you know the first
thing they would do? Well, I'll tell
you. They would chuck both of
the Monroe City papers full of adj
vertisements, space" would be at a
premium supplements would be
necessary and both papers would
soon double their present size.
While the DEMOCRAT is already a
first-Class advertising medium, its
rapid increase in circulation is sure
to make it one of the best adVertis-
ing mediums in this part of the
state. Now l kindly ask the good
people to help US make the DEMO
Graf the best weekly paper posi-
BILE by sending us all the news O
local interest, along with your jot
work, such as sale bills, PRINTED
stationery, etc.

Gov. Stubs, of Kansas it appears
would like very much to be United
States Senator but the Governor
has not enjoyed pleasant sailing
lately in the game of politics, hav-
ing encountered considerable oppo-
sition in his own party. The oppo-
sition has been active in an effort
to clip the Governors wings and
now they propose to further de
horn him by enacting law which
would debar him from the u. S
Senate in 1912. They do funny
things in Kansas but as this fight
is all in the republican party the
democrats should keep quiet anC

Some Sewing Hints.

1. If you have difficulty in hem
ming or stitching chiffon, soft silks,
etc, try laying a piece of thin paper
under the goods and stitching
through this. The paper may then
be torn away and the goods will
not be puckered nor require press
ing.
2. If you are a poor button-hole
maker or pressed for time, try a
machine-made button-hole. especial
ly for underwear or children's
clothes. They are neat, quickly
made and last as long if worked by
hand. Cnt the buttonhOle perfect
ly straight, overcast the edges and
ends by hand, then stitch all
around two or three times by ma
chine, and you will have a nice
buttOnhole with very little time
and labor.
3. Gather all sleeve-tOps, skirts
and everything you can on the ruff
fer, and save the time of gathering
by hand. or stitch with a loose ten
sion and long stitch and then pull
the threads until you get the requir-
ed fullnesS.
4. To make a good draw-Stlng
for petticoats or pieces for skirt
hangers, etc, take a strip of goods
about an inch wide and run through
the binder, stitching at the same
time.
5. Keep a piece of sandpaper in
the machine drawer for rough or
blunted needles; a file, too, will
quickly smooth a dull machine.

within their reach, showing great
skill in plating copper with silver
