NEED FOR DAYS OF STORM
Sage Reflections on the lmpossibility
of Life Being Always a
Bed of Roses.

Every woman, young and old, knows
what it Is to have cross days; days
when, from sunrise till sunset, every
mortal thing seems to go wrong, no
matter how hard one tries to have
them go right. For that matter, one
always does try harder on such days
than one the happy-golucky ones
when life flows on smoothly and har-
ANONYMOUSLY, like "a grand, sweet song"
Goodness knows, there is enough con-
e~cientions effort wasted on a single
cross day to balance half a year Of
ordinary days.
Why is this? Is crossness a disor-
Tdered state Of the mind, or an over
wrought condition of the nerves, or
simply the reflection Of an inexplicable
but unanimous "crossedness" on the
part of things in general? And If it
be any or all Of these, is there any
way or overcoming 1t?
Crossness, like most other condi
lions of life, is the inevitable effect of
q perfectly natural cause. Good hui
NOR, like fine weather, cannot pos
Isibly last forever. If 1t could, it would
Inevitably become an intolerable bore.
Being eternally pleasant and agreeable
is all right theoretically, but 1t is a
terrific strain on the nerves.
1t is dreadfully wearing, too, on
tother people. Did you aver have to
live in the same house with somebody
who was always placid, always even
tempered, no matter who else was
worried and distraught? And were
you not sometimes seized with an un-
holy yearning to do something per-
fectly awful and fiendish, that you
might for one startle that hateful be-
ling out Of his or her maddening i'm
Iperturbability?
Suggesting Pain and Disease.
Grown people often aggravate the
little aches and pains Of children by
making too much of them. It would be
better If they would turn the mind of

and ailments. The principle applies
gust al we'll to youth as It does to
childhood. It will be granted that

It ought to be discovered early. But
the best way for the parent to discov-
or 1t IL to learn tho signs Of serious
disturbances so that he can read
them without asking the child whether
he feels bad" A parent ought to
be able to tell when . child has a
fever or when he is not being prop
ler1y nourished. or when he has . long
continued pain due to m~alfunction of
any kind. The less said to the child
about these things, the better, unless
his case IL unusual. The child's health

Well Pleased.

The concert at the High School
Auditorium Friday evening proved
to be rare treat to the music
lovers of this city. Miss Eva Eeerton,
soprano, and Miss Edna Gockel.
Gussen. pianist were both artists
and it is not often that this city
has the privilege of hearing such
sp lendid talent. That Monroe City
enjoyed this concert was due to
Miss Marearite Reid, who single
handed and alone sold enough
tickets to pay the expenses. She
did this that you and | might enjoy
really good music How many of
US would take such a responsibility!
She canvasSed the town knowing
that she would only make expenses.
She deserves the credit of giving
this city one of the best musical
programs 1t has ever had.

Organ Recital.

On Thursday evening March 23rd
at 7:30 o'clock Prof. William Spen-
Ger Johnson. of Quincy, III, will
give an Organ Recital at the First
Baptist Church. He will be assist
ed by Miss jaeger Miss Proctor and
Mr. Tooley. The people of Monroe
City are sufficiently well aquainted
with these singers to know that we
always have a treat when any one
of them appears on a program.
Prof. Johnson is a musician of wide
reputation and ability. The fact
that he plays the organ at The
Cathedral of St. John in Quincy
sufficiently recommends him. He
will demonstrate the powers of a
pipe organ as a few of US have
ever heard it done. We are expect
ing large crowd at the Recital, so
we advise that you come early and
get a good seat. You cannot afford
to miss a single number on the pro-
gram. There are no charges for
J admittance to this entertainment
but we shall ask for silver offer.

invitation to attend the musical
treat. Sam P. Gott, Pastor.

When in Doubt try Monroe. The Best City on the Map
A New Burlington Passenger Station

For Monroe City seems to be the
issue at this time with Monroe
Citians. From the Secretary of the
Commercial Club f. w. Schweers
and the inquiries made at this
office; we learn that this movement
on the part of the Commercial.
Social and other organizations is
not confined to them alone, and
while organizations represent the
city. every citizen as individuals
has shown all interest in the move
ment and proffers their support and
cooperation
In the past three or four years
our Citizens have not been dissat-
isfed - but rather waiting until we,
ourselves, in public spirited way
accomplish something that would
at least justify US in this request.
The improvements in the past
three years stands as a memorial
that does not require printers ink to
advertise. So as indicative to the
statements just made we may say
that:
Whom so ever is satisfied with
what he does has reached his cul-
minating point; he will progress no
more; Mans destiny is to be not
dissatisfied but forever unsatisfied
The Citizens and business men of
our City feel that the interests OF
this community. in a manner, are
with those of the Burlington identi
cal. In the past we have had the
Station and rail road accommada-
tions consistent with the growth of
the City and the interests justify
ing the Burlington rail roads but
in the progress of he past few years
in improvements, agricultural and
commercial developments we feel
that this shall not be our culminat-
ing point
The Inconvenience of this Old
Relic of a Station and the general
appearances that it offers to a Wis
itor or a stranger who perchance
might get off of the C B & Q here
in daylight. would prompt him tC
60 on to a place like Shclbina and
have his folks meet him there.
We Must have a new Station aud
we have faith in the business judge,
ment and the cooperative spirit Of
the Officials of the Burlington raj
road, and feel assured that our po
sition is well taken and our request
should be granted.

A Word to Our Readers and Ad-
vertisers

Every week some one Is dlSap-
pointed when they get their paper,
in not seeing something there that
they expected to see
There are several reasons for this:
lst. The Editor may not know
of the item of news, which you ex-
pected to see, if you did not tell
him Cor her) or send it in. 1t is
impossible for the editor to get the
news for the ordinary weekly paper
without the help of the people. We
have tried it and know where
of we speak.
End. The item may not have
been sent in. in time. Every week.
not only in this Office. we have
worked in several offices and it is
the same story. valuable and i'm
portant news items are left on the
copy hook because Of a lack of
time for setting the item in type.
Take into consideration the fact
that every word in this paper is set
one letter at time, and that Il re-
quires SIX days Of hard work to get
out paper such as this. and you
can readily see that. the sooner
that news item is handed in. the
more assurance you have of seeing
it in print.
This paper is printed every Wed =
Desday afternoon and il all who
have items for publication mail
and send them in Tuesday or Wed
nesday. it is absolutely impossible
for the compositors to set it all in
type and get the paper out on
time, and as we must come out on
time something has to be left out.
A word to our advertisers:
Il is a well known fact that no
progressive business man, today
will try to run his business without
advertising it, than a banker would
try to run bank without money.
AS before stated in this article il
is impossible for the compositors to
set all the type for the paper in
day 1t is also impossible for the
printer to set all the ads for the
paper, and give you a nice ad, if
your copy for ad comes in late. The
up-to date printer designs his ads
same as the architect does his
building, 10 make up all ad that
will attract the eye of the reader
and produce the desired result
Glance over the paper, note the
number of ads" in its columns
then bear in mind that the printer
has to set up all these ads, make
up" s pages of the paper and spend
4 hours in press work, all ordinari,
ly between Monday and WedneS.
day night, and you can readily see
if all our advertisers do not hand
in their copy uutil Tuesday or We'd
nesday morning, the printer has to
throw them together any way to get
them up in time to print. and your
ad cannot have the attention il
should have.
If our readers who have items
and our advertisers will get theiI
copy to us OH Mondays and never
later than Tuesday night. the com
posltors will have their copy hook
cleaned up. ready for any items Of
interest that transpires on We'd
nesday. and the printer can give
your ad the proper attention, anC
we know you will be more thar
pleased with the results. Try it G

You're for more prosperity.
