1t is SAID that John H. Nolen.
formerly of this city, but now of
Jefferson City, and who is special
agent of Missouri in the land recla-
nation service, wrote the Deep
Water and Reclamation plank in
the National Democratic Platform.
This is quite a feather in Johns
cap, but you must remember you
can't keep a Monroe County boy
down They generally lead the
procession.

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1912-07-18

Jas. A. Houchin is first of all a
Democrat, in all that word implies.
He believes in the rights and au-
thority of the people and that a
governor, no less than township
constable, is a servant of the peo-
pie. If nominated and elected he
would devote his entire time to the

Col. w. 7. Youell complains bit
terly of treSspasserS on the fair
grounds and declares that patience
has ceased to be virtue and he is
determined not to be imposed on
any longer. 1t seems some un-
scrupulous persons are not satisfied
with breaking open doors and gates
but help themselves to his property
in other words steal it. Somebody
had better look out. 1t is certainly
a mean trick to treat Mr.. Youell in
such a manner and such offenders
should be dealt with severely.

hibit your chickens at the fair. 1t

the chance to have them scored
you may take prize. Remember
there is no entrance fee, Bring

ago. An operation became necessary,
and for six months he must wear a
plaster cast on the leg.

"MOVIE" INDIANS ARE
HOWLING FOR BATHS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1.-The Uni
versal Film company. which takes
moving pictures at East Hollywood. is
anXiously awaiting the arrival of two
score of good old fashioned galvanized
bath tubs.
If they don't get them pretty quick,
the fifty odd Indians and squaws just
imported from Albuquerque, y. NJ.
are dangerously likely to strike. jump
on the box cars and go back TO their
bath equipped reservation.
When l.. l.. Burns of the Benham
Indian Trading company. went TO New
Mexico to fill an order for sundry
Indian braves and their squaws, he
did not know that Indians took baths.
You wantee workee for Movie?" he
asked with his hands, voice and eyes.
We payee gOOdem. You be some
time same as John d. Rockefeller. you
come work movie with me-" (The In.
dians had heard of John d., and so
they held pow-wow). At length

STANDARD DISLIKES
TO PUBLISH RATES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Stand
ard Oil company, which was the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
until the trust was "diSSolved,' and
the Standard Oil company of Louisi-
and asked the commerce court COM
missions order directing them TO
publish the rates for Transporting oil
through their pipe lines.
They deny the jurisdiction of the
commission and add that if the first
section of the interstate commerce act
APP lies to them then it is unconstitu-
tional, in that it would take private
property for public use without COM
pensation.
The petition of the company differs
from the petitions filed by other pipe
line companies and oil companies own
ing pipe lines. in that it sets forth
the legal gyrations the pipe line ap-
purtenances of the Standard have
pa. sed through in their efforts to pur-
sue their business without regulation.
1t sets forth that in the early sos
the then Standard Oil company OF
Ohio, bought refineries at Bayonne,
n. j., and Baltimore. 1t then had
some pipe lines in Pennsylvania, which
il proceeded to extend to Bayonne
and Baltimore, its instrumentalities
being the National Transit company
and the New York Transit company.
These companies were incorporated
as common carriers in Pennsylvania
and New York.
The petitioning companies claim
the lines they use are all needed, for
the transportation of oil required for
the Standards refinerieS; that if
asked to carry for others its refiner-
les would be idle part of the time and
that the contamination caused by
passing different grades and gravities
of oils through the pipes would be the
I cause of vast damage.

they thought they would go and be
photographed, whereupon Mr.. Burns
produced big sheaf of contracts. The
Indians gazed at these contracts
stolidly until one came forward who
could read American.
You hain't got no washee here" he
said.
'Smatter?" cooed Burns.
mo tub, you know, soap, much
splash. big fun, water, you catch?''
''Dymean baths?' said Burns.
All the Indians took up the word
and howled for those baths.
Il got forty-siX men-good men.
eight, maybe ten squaws. You get
tubs for them-yes-no?"
'All right. sign up groaned Burns.
Thus the Indians arrived here three
days ago and Immediately began
bowling for baths.
In desperation the film company
started putting in pipe to carry the
water to the tubs when they did ar

good sized family wash tubs which
are appeasing the feelings of the

SAN DIEGO GETTING READY
FOR PANAMA EXPOSITION

SAN DIEGO, Aug. Jumping her
bet from one to three and a half mil
lions, San Diego has given her expo
sition project new life. Activity is
seen in every portion of the great
park in which the exposition is being
built.
On one part is a big gang of men,
teams, plOwS, Scrapers and other ma
chinery following close behind the
dynamite gang" This gang drills
from one to two hundred eight foot
holes in the ground along a given line.
loads each hole with five pounds Of
dynamite and shoots earth and rocks
into the air, breaking up the ground
so that plowing and scraping is rapid
and easy. Each grading crew has a
dynamite gang, as this method is
cheaper and much quicker than the
old method
In another section of the big park
is the wonderful flower farm where
the unit for propagation is 100000
Ferns, vines and young trees fill hor
houses. lath houses, cold frames and
plantations that cover acres in extent
In guarded pen, like little animals
that might get away, are hundreds of
tiny rose bushes that were cuttings
last spring. These are the entrants
for the $1,000 prize offered by the man
agement for a new rose The tiny
cuttings are so strong and virile, so
healthy and ready to bloom, as soon
as their tiny rootlets caught hold on
the soil food.

Besides these men are eighteen additional murderers now ill the death cells or Sing Sing Auburn and Clinton prisons who must shortly pay the death penalty unless new trials are ordered by the highest court. of the state.

shouted and whispered as they moved

shouted and whispered as they moved about.
 A whisper uttered five or six yards away from the transmitter come as clearly as an ordinary speaking voice in the same room. So greatly is the sound of the voice magnified, that the ordinary tones, spoken close ly into the receiver, as with the or dinary telephone, seemed like a deaf ening shout to the listener in the other room.
 The new telephone as yet has been tried only over comparatively short distances with the idea of providing a perfect means of inter-communica- tion from room to room in offices or factories. But MT. Dickson claims that there is no reason why the loud talking telephone should not be used over any distance.
 Means are provided to increase or decrease the sound of the voice as 1t is transmitted through the new tele- phone, and there is no reason why a public speaker should not harangue hall full of people without stinging from his own fireside.
