Buys Wheat Fled.

Last Saturday l. L. Owen and
Roy Mcfarland purchased a 40
acre wheat field from E. M. Tooley
the purchase price being $500
The wheat field is admitted to be
one of the best in this part of the
country and has been estimated to
yield at least 40 bushels to the
acre. but since the estimates the
heavy rains and wind have damag-
ed it slightly. The purchasers,
when seen by a Democrat repre-
sentative, declined to make an esti-
mate as to amount of wheat it will
yield. although they do not feel as
though were going to loose on tn e
deal. Yesterday wednesday, they
started two binders and expect to
have it all cut within a short time
weather permitting.

Good Use for Beer Kegs.

Leave it to Kansas farmers to
find a way to harvest their grain.
They are now using beer kegs to
help save the crop. M. H. SnOd :
grass, a farmer near Columbus. in
vented the scheme for converting a
kee into an additional wheel forshis
binder to prevent its miring in
fields muddy because of the rains.
The device proved successfully aud
other farmers adopted !. it.
Holes in the ends of a keg :admit
a galvanized iron pipe for an axle
and the device is attached ito the
binder so as to bear most of the
weight of the machine. nKansas is
dry. but beer finds its wayl.into the
state.
Several of the farmers ofsMonro e
county are now figuring onlmakine
the same attempt. and as3the plan
seems feasible. they will1no doubt
make a success Of it. D. X. Yowell
said he did not intend to try to cut
until next week but if he could Gel
the beer kegs to work he would
commence at once.

COMEDY BALL GAME
LaBelle Again Find Themselves in
Company Too Fast for Them.

Did you witness the ball gam e
Sunday between LaBelle and the
Boosters? If you did not you lost
out on one of the best burlesques on
base ball ever presented to the
public.
The LaBelle boys were defeated
here a few Sundays back. but were
not satisfied and wrote Manager
Carson for a return game guaran-
teeing to put up a better scrap"
They made a dismal failure.
The Boosters scored in every in
ming and at the final count they
had ID to LaBelle 2. Some gam e.
Just comedy of errors on both
sides, although the Boosters errors
were trivial and were made when
the players were cutting up." La
Belle changed pitchers and catchers
three times, none of their pitchers
having anything" and the catchers
did not have enough whip" to
peg" second.
Gosney pitched the last inning
for Boosters and the "windup" was
spectacular.
Games with LaBelle will draw
small crowds from this on and it is
doubtful if the fans will ever be
called on to endure the agony OF
watching another game with these
boys They are good loosers though
and seemed to be a bunch of good
natured boys. There is not enough
ciphers in the Democrat Office to
register the hits and errors.
The Boosters are playing at Mob
erly as we 90 to press and Sunday
at Proctor's Park they cross bats
with the Hannibal Stars. This will
be some game, so do not miss it.

Not So Here.

Miss Rebecca Megown this week
received a card from her cousin,
Chester Longwell. who recently
graduated with such high honor. in
which he says that their party ar
rived safely in Colorado and imme-
diately went to camp. Their camp
is at an elevation Of 10.40O feet and
is surrounded by snow banks and
the streams have ice in them
every morning. The most of us
would just as soon be in Monroe
City even If it is a wee bit warmer.

CLUB PLAY SUCCESS
Children Who Took Part in the Play
at School House Acquitted Them
selves With Honor.

The Dream Peddler in Doll Shop,
the play presented by Miss Joseph
ine Fisher assisted by Miss Lilas
Haynie under the auspices of the
Century Club last Friday night was
a howiing success. from start to
finish, proving to be about 100 per
cent better than the audience ex-
pected.
Miss Fisher came here from Han
nibal few weeks back and inter-
ested the Century Club in her little
playlet for children and it was de-
cided to present same for the bene-
fit of the coming Chautauqua.
Fifty-two children were recruited
around town and pressed into SER
vice as actors and every one acquit-
ted themselves with honor, showing
that they had been thoroughly
trained.
The first scene represented a
Doll Shop in the dark. The Dream
Peddler by Shields McClintic, wand
ers out of a raging storm into the
shop where the dolls are singing a
Dream Ship song. Then a song by
the Dream Peddler followed, when
suddenly the lights came on and he
realized he was in a Doll Shop. He
began taking the dolls off the shelf
and looking them over, exhibiting
the bride doll Leona PiercealD. the
Kewpie (Margaret Hoover). the
Bisque doll Gertrude RandoD, the
Indian doll (Velma Miles) and the
Rag Doll Uane Guilford). He then
touched a button and all the dolls
came to life. The Dinah Doll
(Helen Caplinger) and it might be
wei TO say'that Miss Caplinger is a
first class negro mimicker, came to
life and acted as nurse and chap
rome to the entire doll aggregation.
The wax dolls, Noah ark animals,
Jumping Jacks and Dutch Dolls all
made their appearances at varied
intervals and went through some
mighty queer doins' for dolls. The
Bisque doll put on a comic song, I've
got pain in my sawdust." and
died from appendicitis. the Tissue
Paper Dolls make their appearance
and explain that they were cut out
of different fashion magazines.
The play had only been presented
on one former occasion and con-
sidering that the children here have
had very little experience along
this line they did exceedingly well.
Those taking part were: John Kelly.
Chester Drescher. Aleck Graham i.
Paul Smith, Harry Lee Nolen, Clara

AGAIN RESOLUTIONS
Board Of Aldermen Keep Busy
Passing Resolutions.

The present outlook for paved
streets, at least some of them, is
pretty good. At the regular meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen Tues
day night another resolution was
passed and ordered published in
the News providing for the paving
with macadam on Main street from
the North line of Catherine or Sec.
ond street to the center of Rogers
Avenue The cost of the work is to
be paid for with special tax bills
issued against the property liable
therefore according to law, and the
work to be in accordance with the
plans and specifications prepared
by the City Engineer and now on
file in the Office of the City Clerk.
A petition was presented to the
Board which is self explanatory and
reads as follows:
To the Hon. City Council of Mon
roe City, Mo:
We, the undersigned, owners of
property on North Main Street be
tween Rogers and Abbott Avenues
respectfully petition that your reso-
luton for paving Main street with
crushed rock terminate at the Gen.
ter of Rogers Avenue for the follow
ing reasons:
First. Said street is in fair condi-
ton and has good foundation of
gravel an does not need quite half
as much crushed rock as the re-
mainder of Main Street.
Second. We hereby agreed to
macadamize said block from the
center of Rogers Avenue to the
south line of Abbott Avenue and
put it in as good condition as that
part macadamized under your
resolution.
Respectfully submitted,
c. B. Anderson.
F. NJ Abbott,
C. c. Lewis,
c. L. Carpenter,
M. B. Proctor.
Which was agreed to and allowed
by tie Board.
The property owners on North
Vine Street presented an agree
ment to the Board which reads

on the South; All holes to be filled
and brought up to line and all of
said street to be dressed with crush
ed stone: Work on said street is to
be done under the direction of W.
P. Young. and a Committee COM
posed of Lambert Hagan, E. L. An
derson and R. X. Megown shall ap-
portion and assess against each of
us our proportional part of the CO st
of same, which shall be in two as
sessments. one to be levied and COL

CONTEST IS FINISHED
Democrat Automobile Contest
Comes to Close. But Not Glow
ing Success.

ed by Burges, johnson Company
came to a close Saturday afternoon
at four o'clock The contest was
not a world beater by any means,
although the contestants did their
level best, but owing to the rain for
the past six weeks. making the
roads almost impossible, they could
not get out among their friends and
do the amount of work they would
have liked to.
Up to the last few days the con-
test was hotly contested, but from
Thursday on things began to lag.
some of the contestants not being
entirely satisfied as to the way it was
being conducted by the contest men.
In a proposition of this kind there is
always more or less dissatisfaction,
and the one just closed was no ex-
ception to the rule.
The main prize, the Ford touring
car was won by Miss Grace Fahy
with a total of 100000 votes.
Miss Fahy had over million ma
jority, the nearest competitor being
Miss Susie Corcoran. Miss Fahy
worked hard for the Ford and actu-
ally deserved every vote credited
to her, although several seem to
think to the contrary.
The diamond ring given to the
second contestant, Miss Corcoran
was purchased from Bebb the
Jeweler. and is retailed at SIS 90.
Miss Corcoran worked hard along
with several friends VIM interested
themselves in her behalf, and we
would liked to have been able to
present her a Ford also, but couldn t.
Clifton Clark won third place. the
scholarship in the business college
Clifton is a good looser and says he
would just as soon have the schOl-
arship anyway. as by winning that
he did not have to dig" down in
his pocket. Clifton is another who
did his level best and considering
the assistance rendered him by the
contest manager he did well to fin
ish in third place.
Miss Cora White came out in
fourth place, winning the beautiful
set of silverware purchased from
Mr.. Walker. Miss White put a
heap of energy and hard work in
the contest and deserves special
praise for her pluck and courage.
Ray Sorrell drew fifth and captur-
ed one of the watches. Mr.. Sorrell
says he is perfectly satisfied, al
though the Ford would have look
ed mighty good to him. This is
another contestant who did not lay
down on the job.
The sixth prize. a watch Vas
awarded to Miss Anna Utterback-
Miss Utterback lives quite a ways
from town and was unable to give
as much attention to the contest as
she would have liked but did well
nevertheless.
