From Moro

guess the editor thinks that I have forgotten entirely that it is my business to keep him post ed as to the happenings of our little town. But I haven't over looked that very important item; but it is just simply because we T1iave a very nice quiet town down here; and, aside from the daily routine. rarely anything ever happens to mar the progress of things or retard same.
 Both gins are doing business every day regardless of the fact that the weather is bad all the time. The saw mill and hickory mill are both in operation, and the merchants are doing their share of the business. But there is some trouble once in awhile at the power plant, which makes things very inconvenient at timesas we'll as annoying to those that have connections with the plant. MT. Henderson's water service is not needed anymore; as, ever since it was first in- stalled there has been rain every day or SO; of course that is some what aggravating.
 MT. Hartley, of the Bemis farm, has purchased an auto mobile. Homer Paisley wants one terribly bad and Jonas Miller has to keep himself hid out all the time for fear he will be com pelled to take one. The cashier of the Bank has a vision constant ly of smooth roads. shady hooks and pleasant drives to the extent of having to wear an extra heavy pair of spectacles to enable his eyesight to be clear.
 School is progressing nicely with a large attendance; despite the constant inclemency of the
 weather.
 Some little excitement is rais- ed once, in awhile, when some thing, or somebody, takes a no- tion to poke his gun out the door and shoot 12 or l5 times just to liven things up a bit. But, take lit as a whole. Moro is a nice little town with a class of pleas ant people who have the interest of the town at heart. we can see |evidence of that when we look
 at the ditch which is in front of Main St. stores that has never been filled up since the water works pipes were laid; and the rotten sidewalks and the weeds in the streets mat look so pretty. They cultivate them for their nrottv fouorcf. Rut that's all right; Moro has a future(as any one can see) if they will just cease chasing the almighty dollar long enough to open their eyes to the real condition around the town. We'll have things fixed by the time winter is over. if the elements can fix.

Before another issue of the county papers appears, the First Annual School Fair of Monroe County will be a matter of his- tory.
 At this writing. the interest is all that could be expected. About half of the districts of the county will be represented either by exhibits and by contestants or both.
 In behalf of the children of the county, wish to thank most heartily those who have contrib uted of their money and time to make the Fair a success.
 I feel that the School Fair should accomplish some very definite results in the education al activities of this county. It should serve to increase the in- terest of the public in school work. The public has very little interest in those activities about which it knows very little. The School Fla ir seeks to place the school activities of the county prominently before the public and arouse interest in the same.
 The School Fair should arouse both teachers and pupils to greater activity by the compe- tition offered.
 The School Fair will afford each school in the county on op- portunity to compare it's work with the work of other schools.

ment. He admitted that the
foreign competition would force
him to put his goods on the mar
ket at lower prices, but he pro
posed to offset this loss through
the speeding up system in his
plant. His men WOuld get the
same wages. but they would be
driven to the highest pitch of
capacity in their output. This IS
simply putting the burden of the
tariff cut upon the worker in
another way, he can't get away
from it. This plan has also been
adopted in the great lead mines
of our own section. Just how
the wage Garner is going to like

to make good the losses that fol-
low Democratic tariff Legislation
will manifest itself in the future

In Memoriam.

B.AL.-Ellen, wife OF 0. F. Ecal,
died on November II, 1913, at $50
o'clock, at Mineral Point, Mo. She
was the daughter of Ira and F. II.
Parke and was born in New York
State on April 8, 1916, being g. years,
Z months and s days of age at the
time of her death. Her parents mov-
ed to Wisconsin when she was small
child, where she lived until she-mar
ried o. F. Beal, in the year 1865.
Five children were born to this union,
viz: Howard, Edgar, Il. A. and A. o.
Beal, sons; and a daughte, who is
now Mrs. 2. f. Evens. Howard died
in California, and Edgar at Mineral
Point, who sleeps the Hopeweli GEM
etery. This leaves three children and
a husband, as we'll as two brothers in
California, and all who knew her to
mourn her departure. Mrs, Beal
Joined the Baptist Church before she
was married and was always partial
to that Church. She tried to live 4
christian life, and said Oh her dying
bed that she was "Willing to trust in
Jesus and the Lord 1--WE have the
consolation that the loved one gone
had devoted her lie to the interest OF
others and is entitled to the reward of
One who has promised an inheritance
in the mansions abOye.' I'd. P.)
4 wife, a mother, a sister has gone
To swell the Heavens vast number,
And left those whose hearts are bcreft
With sorrow and grief torn asunder.
We look to Jesus, who is our friend,
When troubles come and sorrows fail;
We bid adieu to all earthly ties,
And answer the death angels call.
The tired hands that la5Ureti so
Are folded across the silent breast;
She's laid away with kindred gone,
Forever, now and forever, AT Rest"

President Nudge of the Rock
Island Railroad says that the
railroads will have to be allowed
to raise their rates, or govern
ment ownership would be the al
ternative. Well. now, we call
that a confession that under gov
ernment ownership the rates
can be lower than those which
are necessary under capitalistic
ownership. And this being SO,
would it not be a paying invest
ment for the people to take over
the railroads? Under public
ownership the rates would not
have to be high enough to create
a multiplicity of plutocrats, they
need only be high enough to pay
for good service.

a great many good citizens Of

been made victims of the rankest

the roads without pay, and who

Don't "Get" Your Man.

No matter what the provoca-
ton may be. don't get your
man. Nothing justitieS murder,
and only in the last extremity
hould human life be taken in
self-defense. The courageous
man is not the one who kills, but
the one who avoids killing. We
never view murder trial but
what the thought comes to US,
how much sorrow. trouble and
expense follows the "gettlng' of
a man. On one side there has
been perhaps a husband and
father taken away by sudden and
violent death and the family de
Drivcd of the bre ad winner. On
the other hand. there is another
with the blood of fellow being
on his hands. the stigma of a
criminal arrest upon his name:
his family Surrendering their all
to save him from the hangnan
or long term OF penal servitude.
