Former Soldier Missing

j. L. Hayden and wife are anx-
iously waiting to hear from their
son, Lee. He has been soldering
in the Philippines. On Sept. "a he
arrived at San Francisco and on
the 26th he was to be discharged
from the service as he had served
the time for which he enlisted. He
wrote home that he would be
here from the first to the fifth of
Oct Since that time nothing has
been heard from him. His father
thinks possibly he enlisted again
for the Philippine service at the last
moment before starting back to the
Philippines and did not have time
to write. They are uneasy. how
ever, fearing that he might hav e
met with foul play. Mr.. Hayden
has written the captain under
whom he served and has not heard
from him. The many friends of
the family hope soon to have good
news from the young man.

A New Enterprise.

A movement is on foot to estab-
lish a wholesale grocery in this
city. The live Boosters Club is
back of the enterprise and are 90
ing to do their part toward getting
such an enterprise and the owners
could not find a more ideal location
for such an institution than Monroe
City. Our railroad facilities are the
best in Northeast Missouri and there
a is large amount of goods sold in
this part of the state. The house
here would be in a position to get
the business.

Big Fire Loss.

H. c. Benson one of the good
farmers residing near Hassard lost
his big barn and contents, including
all his good farm machinery by fire
Thursday afternoon. The fire was
caused by a hot box in the shred
der setting fire to the fodder and
then blowing the fire into the barn.
They had shredded about 80 shocks
of corn and fodder ana uad to make
a hasty move of engine and shred
der to save them. A silO was near
the barn. On it the slaves next to
the barn were burned but the silage
is still standing. Mr. Benson's wife
is now in Blessing Hospital. where
she recently underwent a severe
operation.

Dogs Injure Stock.

William Wansworth is not feeling
very kindly to dogs these days and
no one can blame him for this feel
ing. In fact most of us would do
just what he is going to do-kill all
the dogs he finds on his place. One
of the finest bulls in this part of the
state belonged to the Wadsworths
and it was badly chewed up by
dogs and then they have had other
stock chewed up and run all oveI
the farm.

A Hundred Miles of Murder.

Fierce battle raging along 110-
mile front-News headline)
A hundred miles of murder in the
sunny land of Francel
A hundred miles of homicide as
foes on foes advance;
A hundred miles of bloodshed with
the fell intent to kill;
A hundred miles of struggle vain
against the peace Gods will;
A hundred miles Of slaughter
shambles reaching five score
miles!
Yet the breeze laughs through the
tree tops and the big sun sits
and smiles!
A widow, orphan foundry reaching
nearly forty leagues!
A sorrow shop five counties long to
pay for kings intrigues;
From Noyon clear to Verdun roars
the ruthless leaden rain
A million brothers striving for the
awful brand of Cain
Suppose that from your door to one
mile or so away
A line of men were numbering
throughout the livelong day;
Just multiply that horror a hum
dred yes, and ten
You'll have fair idea Whist war is
like, by then.
Thou God, who sees each murder
through the whole length of
the line,
Be merciful to whomso'er has caus-
ed this thing malign!
But open the eyes-0, open them
of all the human race
To what this wholesale murder
means; to see as disgrace
The thing we've labeled glorious
war" Help us to name Alright
The thing men do to other men
when unto death they fight.
May never, through the coming
years, a headline need display
A hundred miles of murder, but a
thousand leagues away.

can, but we must admit that he is
one of the greatest patriots that has
ever occupied the presidential
chair, patriot who is imbued with
a feeling for his fellow men, anx-
ious at all times to do what he
thinks the best for his country. No
one can doubt his high standard of
citizenship, his exalted ideas of
government, his love of peace, his
scholarly attainments, and his will
ingneSs to sacrifice self in behalf of
the onerous duties that fall upon
him as chief executive of the ma

the way he has handled the Mexican

to be manly enough to admit it,

1T ISN'T YOUR TOWN...ITS YOU.

IF you to live in the kind of town
Like the kind of town you ke
You needn't slip you clothes in grip
And start long long hike
You'll only find what you left behind
For there's nothing that's really new
It's knock at yourself when you knock your town.
1t isn't your town-its you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead
When everyone works and nobody shrks
You can raise from the dead
And if while you make your personal stake
Your neighbor make one too
Your town will be what you want to see
1t isn't your town its you
