few HOUSES TO LEASE
HERE IN AMERICAS
While Demand For Homes Is
Very Great

This week is the moving season in
Americas, where families usually make
changes Of location on or about Sep
TENDER LIST, but there will be little d.
ing here for the reason that there are
no vacant dwellings and the man with
a home is holding on to what he has
with bulldog grip and grim determ-
ination.
Fifty dwellings, at least, could be
rented readily here this week if vacant
ones were only to be had.
Probably that number of new ones
have been built here this summer, but
these houses were built by the owners
for their own occupancy. Few, if an,
We're built to lease
The majority of people who made
rental contracts last year have shown
no disposition to change this year
Evidently they secured houses thai
suited them. The consequence is tha
the percentage of people who move
this season will be considerably less
with the result that there are few2l
houses offering.

are family infested with others, man!

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1911-05-25

At last the material for the White
Way has arrived and work will be
commenced this mornin g.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1911-05-25
That Census.

In making an order for special
census the Council did just what
any set of live men would have
done and deserve praise for this act
if for no other A large number Of
our citizens have for some time
been talking and working for a
water works and sewerage system
because they know that it is a
necessity for Monroe City. The
Council is heartily in favor of this
improvement and it is not possible
to issue bonds to such amount as
will be necessary unless the city
has population of2000. The mem
bers of the council and many citi-
zens believing that at this time the
city has the required 1000 a census
was ordered. 1t was not desired to
cast any reflection on G. L. Carpen-
ter who took the government CEN
sus as all believe him to have done
his duty. But beliving that at this
time the city has the required num-
Der to issue the amount of bonds
necessary the census was ordered
Since the order was made some
people of Monroe City and some
newspapers outside of Monroe City
that oppose water works and sew
eraGe in this city because they well
know that with these Improvements
Monroe City will be the leading city
in this part Of Missouri in every re-
spect, have commenced to howl
that the census was ordered simply
to get saloons in Monroe City
Some may believe this, we do not
as the board is composed of men
who would not hesitate to say the
census was for saloons if such was
the case. Now, citizens and med,
dlers in other towns, let us say that
the Council of Monroe City is com.
posed of live business men, meT
who are as good as the average

Splendid Address.

The Clarence Courier in its write
up of the Commencement exercises
has the following to say of Rev.
Paul H. Linn who is a Monroe boy:
Reverend Paul H. Linn D. D.,
held the audience spell-bound for
over an hour in his address The
Philosophy of Living" His talk was
an inspiration to all who heard it.
The thought was that every person
is called to do a certain work in this
world. and that if any person fails
to do. his best, the world then is
just that much worse off. and no
one can do another persons work
He placed special emphasis upon
the proposition, that each person
should strive to do little better
each day, and that in their work. no
matter whether in the shop, on the
farm, in the store or office, each
person should see the angel assist
ing them at the task. His illustra-
tions were not only beautiful, but
were practical and the address was
indeed a rare treat. Reverend Linn
is one of the foremost orators of the
times andreceives calls from every
