Something Doing

N representative OF the Demo
crat dropped into Col. Lasley s
headquarters the other day to
ascertain the result of Col. Las
ley's two weeks of advertising.
in the Monroe City papers. We
found the Colonel was sick and
not at his post of duty, but we
were given the privilege of 60
ing through his pile of letters
that he had received the two prp-
vious days. A look at them
would satisfy the most skeptical
as to the value of the home press
as an advertising medium. We
saw nll kinds of letters, some of
them from commercial organiza-
tionS, some from promoters, some
from investors, and some from
the idle curious, all asking for
more information as to the Las
ley plan of listing, advertising
and selling farm lands. 1t is ev-
ldent from the tone of those
letters that there is going to be
something doing in and around
Monroe City in the next two
months. Mr.. Lasley has conf
dence in his ability to advertise
and get results and his pluck
and energy is admirable.
The one and only reason that
Missouri land is selling for less
than half what Illinois and Iowa
land is selling for, is because:
the Missouri land has never
been advertised. Thousands of
farmers in the high priced lano
district of Illinois and Iowa, have
never realized the value and
chenpness Of Missouri soil. Many
of them think that the James
boys are still at large in Mis-
souri, and have no idea of the
beautiful Missouri plains. the
happy homes and the high state
of civilization and productiveness
of our soil. If they know what
Missouri has to offer they would
sell their $500 land and come to
Missouri and buy our $75 and
$100 land. They will never know
unless they come and "be
shown" An advertising cam
paign such as Mr.. Lasley has
inaugurated, should bring thous-
ands of Illinois and Iowa citi-
zens to Missouri. If they come,
they will be convinced, and when
convinced they will buy some
good Missouri land.
Mr.. Lasley expects to bring
the sightseers to Monroe City
in June. when all Nature is at
her best. Every citizen in this
community should make an eff
fort to entertain the visitors,
and show them that Missouri is
the best country in the world in
which to live.

very obvious reason that an au-
tomobne requires all your atten-
ton. When you are out with
your girl you don't want to mon
key with a carburator. It's an
awful waste of time to fool with
Il battery when you are a pretty
good sparker yourself, So get

are right here in Monroe City to

WHO PAYS
THE PENALTY?

In the St. Louis Times a few days
ago we found this headline:
"CONVICTED OF SLAYING. WIFE
AND CHILD" and half way down the
column we find these words: ION
being asked for statement, he said:
'This is what booze will do to
you. had good job and loved my
family. ! never mistreated them when
sober but got too much liquor and this
is the result. I am ready to take my
punishment"
Still we have people who harp on
personal liberty" and claim that the
country would go bankrupt without
the revenue derived from the sale of
liquor.
What does it cost to convict this
man and keep him in prison the bal
ance Of his life? To say nothing OF
the economic loss to the community
and the untold suffering of the women
and children. Does the license tax
pay it?It most assuredly does not.
If this item was an uncornm mon one
it might pass without mention but
similar accounts are to be found in
any daily paper. Enough said-ex-
cept to ask the people what they are
going to say to the men who are
building fine homes and buying auto
mobiles with the proceeds of just sucl
nurders.-Ex.
