day, June IL, 1911, from the effects

Mrs. Brown, telephoning to a

Mrs. Brown startled.
"Oh, that you will never know"
answered the voice.
Mrs. Brown was greatly amused
and decided to try the remedy. Her
throat improved and she went to
the party. During dinner, she
chanced to overhear the gentleman
opposite say to his neighbOr:
Il had an amusing experience the

she cOuldget more fun another way
She made careful inquiry Of heI

name and address, and next morn

Phil Shire, an Audrain county
farmer, is about to be mobbed and
his neighbors in the country are
preparing to ask the County Court
to place a restriction upon his
wholesale frog farm. Since water
has been scarce it is reported that
his frogs have been eating chickens
that have been going to the pond
to drink. Mr.. Shire says the frog
harvest this year promises to be
the largest in years. He is fertiliz-
ing them with hops and says he has
several already that can jump thir-
ty feet in one leap. - Clark Chroni-

Ike HolIar Hurt.

A dispatch to the Quincy Herald
of the 13 inst. says:
'Issac Hollar, one Of the best
known and most familiar figures in
Palmyra, is at the point of death as
the result of a bad fall about $50
o'clock last night at the local stock
yards where he was loading some
cattle for shipment. nolIar IS a
very large man and II years Old
He fell from the loading platform
to the ground striking on his
shoulders and head and since then
has been unconscious. Because Of
his weight and age, the fall was
more serious than it might have
been for a smaller and younger
man. 1t is believed he cannot pos
sibly recover.
HolIar has lived in Palmyra since
before the civil war. having moved
from Virginia to Missouri in 1855.
For forty years he ran the hack line
from the local hotel to the railroad
! junction and is known TO nearly ev-
erybody in the county and most of
the travelling men who make this
town. In connection with the hack
line, he has bought, and sold cattle,
horses and mules, and was loading
a carload of cattle when he made d
misstep and fell off of the platform
Hollar was never married"

BOOSTING MISSOURI.
A Laudable Business Grand Meet
ing Held at Hannibal
Intend to Boost.

mlStlc missouri citizens was held at
Hannibal Friday. The occasion
was the conference of Commercial
Clubs. The general sentiment was
that Missourians must 90 to work
and advertise to the world the ad-
vantages we have here for factories.
for farmers, for business enterprises,
Hearty cooperation on the part of
MissOurians will make Missouri the
leading state AS it has been too
many people have passed through
our grand Missouri and have set
tied in states with far less advant-
ages. Then some MissOurians have
been lured to other states because
they did not fully realize what we
have here.
Every city of 500 or more should
have a live working Commercial
Club with regular meetings and in
working union with all other Com
mercial Clubs of the State In this
way we can cause Missouri to take
her rightful position in the galaxy
of States.
Monroe City should be among the
cities letting her light shine so that
people elsewhere looking for a loca-
ton for a factory, a farm or any
business enterprise would know the
splendid advantages we have here.
In doing this we will be working to
make Monroe City better and more
prosperous.
We will be working for better
churches, better schools better Ii
braries in fact just such a town as
we will all be more proud of. We
will have Water Works, Sewerage.

Scientific farming is the kind
that pays best.
Farmers commenced cutting
wheat Monday. The average is
large and opinion as to the probable
yield differs. Some claiming yield
will be good and Others poor. All
say that the oat crop will be al
most nothing. Corn is looking fine
and is in fine condition. Of course
the yield will depend on later rains.
Meadows will be light but they will
be good quality.
Good Rock roads are the kind
which enable the farmer to market
his crops any day in the year.
The Democrat is the paper which
keeps working for greater prosperi-
ty of the farmers and for making
farm life more pleasant
Get the children more interested
in scientific farming and this part
of Missouri will be more prosper.
