CENTRALIA WINS
Booster Club Loose Hatly Contested
Game Friday.

Friday the bali boys Journey
ed to Centralia and crossed bats
with the ball team of that town.
The game was hotly contested
and the home boys did some
mighty good playing, although it
did not prove very effective. At
the end Of the ninth inning the
Boosters were attached to the
small end of 2-1 score. South
paw Holcomb was back in form
and allowed very few hits. The
runs on both sides were due to
generally termed earned runs.
Montgomery and Barr were cred
tied with an error, although in
errors and were not what are
both eases the same thing
might have, and no doubt would
have happened to anyone else.
The game scheduled for the
local park Last Sunday between
Palmyra and the Boosters was
called off on account of rain.
This game was looked forward
to by the fans as the games now
stand one each and last Sun
days game would have been the
rubber. The Palmyra boys will
olay here in the very near fu-
ture and then look out.
Today Thursday the boys are
playing against Edna and from
all reports the game is being
hotly contested. Edna has the
reputation of having the fastest
team in Northeast Missouri and
if the Boosters succeed in defeat
ing them they viii be in a class
by themselves. =
In the Centralia game the fans
report one noticeable thing,
namely, the business houses of
the town closed up and everyone
of them were at the game. Acts
of this kind make ball teams feel
like playing and is self-evident
that they believe there is some
thing in good clean ball games
and that they should be encour-
aged.

Alaska Not So Cool

Some people seem to think that
Alaska is a cool spot, but the
following will quickly open their
eyes:
The memory of the oldest ma
tive inhabitant of Southeastern
Alaska does not recall such
weather conditions as prevail in
and about Juneau. In the shade
here the mercury has reached 80
degrees, and thermometers in the
business district of Juneau have
climbed to the 100 mark. The
sun shines twenty out of the
twenty-four hours here at this
season of the year.

II you didn't YOU missed the time
of your life The merry -eo-ronnd

"wheezy" organ going full tilt and
the steam whistle blowing at the
rate of forty miles an hour The
colored minstrels were on their
platform performing all the antics
known to the colored race, and
making all kinds of music on an
assortment Of instruments. The
band was endeavoring to make
their share of the noise and were
succeeding to a fare. you-well. And
last, but by mo means least, the
members of the holiness organiza-
ton were endeavOring to hold
services. Put all this noise in one
city block within stones throw of
each other and you would be sur
prised at the amount of noise can
be produced To a disinterested
spectator it looked as though they
were all endeavorine to drown"
the other fellow ont. The holiness
people stayed with the game and
the minstrel and band left in dis
gust but the merry wagon stayed
the limit. Sure was some doin's.

FIRST CLASS STREETS
Pleasure to Run Automobiles and
Other Vehicles Over the Streets.

The Streets of Monroe City are
in beautiful condition (O. Not.
Tuesday morning DIR. Dawson
was called to make AN early
morning trip to the country and
after hitching up his Ford, "
knowing full well that unless the
little machine encountered some
mighty fierce difficulties he
would get to his destination. The
Ford encountered the difficulties
alright. What appears to be a
small mud hole on one of the
streets, and not being over that
street recently the pr. attempt
ed to go through, an attempt is
all that he made, as the ma
chine sank down until the engine
was resting in the mud, and
there it stayed.
For some time the city alder
men and mayor have been try
ing to have some of the streets
put in condition and at every
turn they have met with resolu-
lutions and remonstranceS from
property owners-one faction
wanting one thing, the other fac
ton wanting something else. As
a result the street improvements
are practically where they start
ed and the streets are all in a
deplorable condition.
The city officials have Just
about one resource left and one
only-take the matter out Of the
hands of the property owners en-
tirely and do something. The al
mighty dollar seems to predomi-
nate in the street improvements
as well as some of the other
things hereabouts.
There is in every community a
number who oppose everything
that comes along that is If it is
for the good Of the town and calls
for the outlay of a few dimes.
There is one thing for all of us
to do and that is to Boost and
talk for better street improve
ments. IF nothing else can be
done, why not take a road scrap
er and give the streets a going
over7 This would help some
and make them more passable.

Commercial Club Raised $4,000.

Tuesday Cashier Schweer of the
Citizens Bank was around among
the members of the Commercial
Club raising $1,000 for the street
paving. The money was raised
and now the Commercial Club is
ready to do its part TO help along
the paving This is only another
instance where the Commercial
Club has come to the relief of the
town and are making it plain that
every member is a Booster in all
that the word implies. There has
been some talk of reoreanizing the
Commercial Club and no doubt this
will be a good thing as there are
several new business firms in Mon
roe City and they may want a voice
in the doings of the club People
all over the country are becoming
to more and more realize the ad-
vantage of a commercial club to
the good of town and practically
every town has one of these valua-

THE WEED. NUISANCE
Seems 20 Be More Case Of Stinsiness
and Lsziaess Than Neglect.


When the campaign for better
streets and the cutting of weeds
was first mentioned In the Dem
ocrat it was the opinion of the
writer that it was only case of
neglect and careiessness.
We are of a different opinion
today.
The matter has been given
more" ors2less space in every is
sue for some weeks, and it has
accomplished very little. The
weeds along 4 The streets are d
disgrace and should be cut, In
some, cases the people owning
the property are too poor to have
the work done and are evident
ly too lazy to do it. In other
cases the people are well able
to have it done but seem to
think more of the almighty dol
lar than anything else.
There Is no worse breeder OF
typhoid than weeds and tllth'
Some day an epidemic OF ty-
phoid is going to break out in
Monroe City and people will won
der at the cause; the answer Is
self-evldent. -.

THE CHAUTAUQUA
A Move in the Right Direction
More not Less of Such Moves. y

Perhaps you do not realize
it but scores and hundreds OF
our young men and women leave
this community annually and go
to the cities, because of the
idea that there is more to Sc
hear and ENJOY in the city, yet
the fact is that the city resi-
UNITS enjoy vacation in the
country. The present movement
of good ayeHage, sWerthy people
which is eliminating the saloon,
the 5rothel and indecent amuse-
ments may improve the cities, but
can never Danish the inceSsunt
grind of earning. "a living where
hundreds of thousands and even
millions are congested like mass
OF wriggling insects. A few run
the gauntlet and succeed, but
alas, how many do not, but are
lost in the shuttle! Are we do

with the best and sanest thought

because its entire aim is to meet
these and other needs. They en-.
JOY its program and yet =. their
greater sgeward is in knowing
that they are doing something for
the community. These folks want
to make this years Chautaqua
better and bigger than ever and
are putting forth every effort
To do 50. Nobody makes a cent
out of it, remember that. When:
private individuals use tie name
"Chautauqua" for personal gain
they are trading on quasi-pub-
lie, altruistic name, appealing for
support for an amusement un-
der quasi-public, altrusitic dis
guise. The private nature of
such an enterprise positively pro-
hlbits its ever becoming a COM
munlty movement unless it be-
comes its own manager and own
er, in fact al independent Chau-
tauqua. Ours is a genuine indie
pendent community building

Don't conclude that things ON
the program do not interest you;
you cannot possibly tell until you
hear them. Besides the program
costs only a few cents a day
and you will get ten times your
moneys worth in those events
you do like. Remember, howev-
er, it is not an amusement en-
terprise or a carnival we are fos-
tering-its a "get together"
movement for the common good.
This community is composed of
individuals and you are one Of
them. Join the Boosters! Take
hold and earn the highest Of

COURT OF HONOR
Picnic Held in North Park Was an
Enjoyable Event.

The picnic held last Saturday
by the Hannibal District Court
of Honor in the North park was
a success from every angle. The
crowd in attendance was not as
Large as expected, but could cas-
lily be accounted for, as the far
mers were able to work and
made the best Of the opportunity.
The program was carried out
practically as printed, barring
the parade at 10 a. M, when the
time came hardly enough members
were present to make a credita-
Bile showing and the officers post
poned until 2 p. m. The line of
march started from the park,
headed by the Shelbina band and
paraded through the business Sec
ton and back to the park. I'M
medBately after their return the
crowd adjourned to the tent
where speeches were made by
several prominent men. The ad-
dress of welcome was delivered
by Senator R. S McClintic and
Col. Lee Francis, of Shelbina,
made response.
Attorney w. B. Fahy acted as
platform manager and master of
ceremonies. Addresses we're made
by DR.. L. T. Hollis of Kansas
City, supreme director, E. G..
Chouteau of Kansas City, state
manager; Chas. Riefler of Spring
field, ILL.,. editor of the official
paper of that order; DR.. Smith
medical examiner for Kansas Ci-
ty, and Judge Rice Maupin, of
Shelbina.

In the evening a good old fash

they all had a good time.
The Court of Honor sure
knows how to put ON a picnic
and the only regret is that it is
a long time until they try it |
again.
