BILL BOARD NUISANCE
Eeauty Of the Town Will be Spoiled
by This Pest.

A bill posting agent came through
Monroe City a few weeks past and
made arrangements with some of
the property owners for permission
to erect sign boards thereon. Since
that time they have been here and
erected the boards-some of them
being in the best part of town.
The city has no ordinance against
the sign board nuisance but now is
a mighty good time to get one
even if it does appear to be locking
the door after the horse has been
stolen.
These boards are of no benefit to
the town or community y-only an
eye sore. There is no way of regu =
lating what goes on the bill boards
and the advertising thev use as a rule
is certainly not of an uplift charac.
ter.
Monroe City is a beauty spot, but
if the property owners are going to
lease vacant lots to bill posting as
sociations it will not be long before
Monroe will not be known as the
city Of trees" but as the city OF
"billboards."
To keep the town looking nice
and up-to-date. Civic pride must
be shown and this cannot be where
obnoxious signs depicting women
and others without enough clothes
on to crowd the packing space in a
jewel case. Pictures and advertis-
ing of this kind leads to immortality
fast and goodness knows the coun-
try is drifting that way fast enough
without the help of bill boards.

Discovers Old Photo.

While attending the recent Gold
en- Jubilee of the Missouri State
Dental Association held at Jefferson
City. DR.. c. A. holland. in rumaging
around among the different group
pictures taken of the Association he
found one taken at Sweet Springs:
then called Brownsville, IN the year
1883, whereon he recognized the
picture of his father and mother, At
the time the picture was taken the
father. DR.. A. holland was a practic-
ing dentist of Monroe City. The pict-
ure belonged to Dr.RR. Vaughnof st.
Louis and DR., C. A, Immediately
put himself in communication with
DR.. Vaughn aud secured the picture
from which he intends to have a
print made, as the owner does not
care to let 60 of the original. The
original is quite curiosity, as at
that time the photographers were
not as skilled in fancy work as they
are today and it depicts old day
styles in both photographs and
dress. Many of the older inhabit-
ants remember DR.. Noland's father
well and say that the picture pre-
sents a good likeness.

A CREAMERY POSSIBLE
Oldest Established Produce Com
pany Making Plans for Butter
Factory.

Monroe City is bound to grow.
Business men realize this and are
sparing no expense or time to help.
Henderson & Son who are among
the oldest, if not the oldest. Poultry
and Produce buyers in this part of
Missouri, are making plans to furth-
er expand their business and if
present plans are carried out, with
in short time they will install an
up-to date butter making plant, Civ
ing the farmers a better and more
readv market for their cream and
also taking care of the cream from
their branch houses--Shelbina, La
clede and Chillicothe.
Monroe City needs a Creamery.
not only to take care of the cream
supply hereabouts, but to also furn-
ish the community with a good
butter at a reasonable price-a
butter that can be seen in the max
ing and that a person knows is
clean.
About a year ago Henderson &
Son installed a modern refrigerat-
ing plant The plant is in a room 8
feet high and 24x40 There is a coil
pipe effect from floor to ceiling
around the entire room. The pipes
being about 2 1-2 inches. An auto
matte electric engine furnishes the
power for the ice machine and a
Thermostat regulates the tempera-
ture in the refrigerator. If they de-
sire to store eggs the thermostat is
set at as degrees and when the tenn
perature is reached the engine
automatically stops and automati-
cally starts again when the temper
ature goes the other way. The
thermostat is set at 80 degrees for
poultry. The machinery has been
given a thorough trial and L. c.
Henderson says it has proven a
success in every sense of the word.
The engine and ice machine is
large enough to furnish all the ice
needed for the butter manufactury.
At the present time Henderson &
Son are shipping to the eastern
markets on an average of seven car
loads of poultry and eggs each
week and when their butter fac
tory is put in they will increase
their shipping considerably.

A Near Accident.

Foul balls are rather expensive
at times. Sunday afternoon as Mrs.
Alma Vaughn was entering Proctors
Park to witness the Booster-Star
ball game, a foul ball smashed the
wind shield on her large touring car.
Mrs. Vaughn was driving at a mod
crate rate and this no doubt saved
some one from getting seriously cut
as the glass few in every direction
In the front seat besides Mrs
Vaughn was Atty. Fshy and Mr.
and Mrs. L L. Lane were in the
back seat. Tis wcnder that more
wind shields are MT broken, every
thing considered.

Hannibal Celebration.

July 5.6.7 has been set aside in
Hannibal as celebration days. From
the appearance of their bills and

something doing in Hannibal these
days. The Mississippi will be call

program, as there will be motor
boat races every day. fireworks at
night, band concerts and various
other amusements. The three days
promise to be live ones" for those
who attend. and Hannibal citizens
are preparing to give visitors the

Find Sport in Bowling.

The fair sex of Monroe City have
gone back on the tennis rackets and
are now strengthing their arms at
the bowling alley. Several parties
were organized the past week and
put in the evenings trying to lay
out tenpins with one ball, and by
heck few of them met with sue
cess. Why shouldn't the ladies
play tenpins as well as the men?
There is no better exercise and the
alley has been turned over to them,
making it a ladies' night, and they
have not met up with nothing but
the best of people. Go to it Girls,
and we are willing to wager the
treats that Miss B. M. comes off
with the highest score next week.
barring the little lady that bowls
left handed.

TO ARMS EVERYBODY
City Council Should Put a Stop to
Burlington Improvements (2)

What's the use of the citizens of
Monroe City trying to improve the
looks of the city when the Burling-
ton corporation are doing and have
done more to Offset these improve
,ments than anyone else.
Stock yards within stones
throw of the Main Street. That is
certainly no place for them and it
is up to every civic pride citizen to
see that they are moved to a re-
spectacle distance. This can be ac-
complished by presenting remon-
STRANGE to the Board of Aldermen,
who in turn will pass an ordi&Rnce
declaring the yards a public
nuisance and detriment to the
health of the public and ordering
same moved. The stencil from the
stock pens on real warm day re-
minds one of South Omaha or
Armourdale-why suffer with this
kind of an odor? Cattle, sheep
and hogs carry a heap of disease
germs and assuredly must leave
more or less around the yards for
every passenger who leaves the
Burlington depot to breathe. besides
the many residents close by.
Monroe City hes a Burlington
Depot that is a disgrace to the trav-
cling public-not modern in any re-
spect. A little work along this line
will accomplish something, but so
long as the citizens of Monroe City
sit back and say nothing, just that
long will we use a freight house for
a depot. Business over the Burl.
ineton out Of hereis good and the
people should demand that they be
given accommodations in keeping
with towns not half the size OF
whosdo half the business of Monroe
City.
Sure, the Burlington is figuring
on making a few improvements (?)
this summer. They have torn down
a few old sheds along the right-of-
way and are going to erect coal
sheds thereon. made from concrete
and sheet iron. Some improve
ment-going to cut off what little
view the travelling public does GET
of Monroe's residence district. Do
we have to stand back and see this
90 on and dare say never word
Build the coal sheds. but do so in q
place other than the residence and
business district of the town.
Let's Get busy and try to put a
stop to these things before the Burl'
ington puts round house on the
Main street.

CLASSY BALL GAME
Hannibal Stars Loose Game by
Close Margin in 18th Inning.

The ball game at Proctor's Park
Sunday between the Boosters and
the Hannibal Stars proved to be
the hardest contested game of the
season, giving the fans their
moneys worth by a large majority
Score S o6.
The start off of the game had the
appearance of a hit and run con-
test. In the first inning the Boost
ers scored two men. In the first
half of the second inning the Stars
slipped five men over the home
pan. This scoring was due to cost
ly errors on the part of the infield.
Boosters made a total of seven er-
rors, namely: Holcomb 1: Montgom-
cry 1: Gosney 2; Grimm 1; Diemer
1; H Davenport 1. Star errors
were six, namely: Shields 1; G..
Fischer 1; Foster /; Hardy 1;
Coulard 2.
The Booster had hard work tieing
the score and had harder work get
ting the winning run. MONTGOMERY
of the Boosters, came to the front
in great style. Every game that
Mupp has played this season has
been up to snuff and his work with
the stick has been excellent, it
appears as though every time the
Boosters have needed a hit Mont
gomery has did the job-getting
two clean hits Sunday, one a three
! bagger and scoring three men.
Gosney proved to be another safe
batter. getting a two base drive in
the twelfth inning and bringing
home the winning score Buster
Diemer. as catcher, played ball all
the time and made some wonderful
stops. C. Fischer for the Stars
better known as Pete" was the
star performer for them. Pete play
ed first and his wonderful stops
saved many a costly error.
Both Pitchers. Holcomb and
Couiard. had wonderful support af-
ter the first two innings. There was
some rag chewing" on the umpires
but this was to be expected.
Taking the game all the way
through it was the best game play
ed ON the local diamond in many
a day and the fans are anxious fol
another game with the Stars.
Lineup as follows: Stars. Coulard

WINS THE, RUBBER
Baseball Game at Moberly Was
Decided Victory For the
League Umpire.

The Boosters journeyed to Mober-
ily Wednesday with the resolve up
permost to do their best to put up
a winning fieht-they put up the
fight but the league umpire decreed
otherwise about winning and the
Boosters found themselves shut out
with Moberly five runs to the good
Several fans from here witnessed
the game and reported that it was
very uninteresting as the boys were
beaten before the game started.
1t is an old and oft repeated story
that the umpire stole the game
and one that is given very little
'credence, but in this case every man
who was in the game and who wit
messed it declare that Monroe got a
Tobbing deal and when there is lots
aof smoke there must be some fire.
Moberly fans were not even satisfi-
ed with the decisions. Some of the
boys declare that if Moberly umpire
had been square the score would
have been different, although it
would be a hard matter to say
whether the game would have been
won. Moberly pitcher only struck
out three men. walked seven and
allowed eight hits. Southpaw Hol-
comb struck out niae men, walked
two and allowed three hits. A few
errors on both sides.
Manager Carson. of the Boosters
offers to play Moberly on any dia-
mond in the state. outside of Mober-
ly and Monroe City. and beat them
for peanuts. marbles or chalk. pro-
vidine they will get an entirely dis
interested umpire. They wont take
him up though because they are

The young man came out Of the
ordeal in fine shape and appears to
be getting along in fine shape. His
entire recovery is now looked for
by the family. Mrs. W. J. Rouse
and daughter, Miss Frances. who
were at the hospital with Ebey re-
turned at the same time, and it
goes without saying that the post
master is now a happy man.
