Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-08-09
Monroe County

The primary in Monroe County
passed off quietly Notwithstanding
the intense interest taken in some
instances. Unofficial reports, though
conceded to be correct, show the
following county ticket:
For County Representative
W. E. WHITECOTTON
For Prosecuting Attorney
j. j. BROWNING
For Collector
j. FRANK CROW
For County Clerk
W. FRANK JONES
For Circuit Clerk
T. W. MCBRIDE
County Judee-Eastern District
j. T. SCOBEE
For Presiding Judge Co. Court
E M. LIPP
While the figures are close in
some instances it is not probable
that the official count will make
any change in the ticket.
For Judge of the Eastern District
Dooley received 921 votes and
Scobee 931, a majority for Scobee
of 10.
For Collector Crow received 1920
votes while Deaver, his nearest op-
ponent. received 1902, a lead fol
Grow of 10.

dates for Monroe County were ds

SILK BLOUSE STILL POPULAR
Garment Which Appeared First az
Novelty Has Become Indispensable
Adjunct of Wardrobe.

The separate blouse of figured,
striped and plain silk bids fair TO con-
tinue in popularity through the win
ter. This garment, appearing first as
a novelty last summer, then gradually
gaining a vogue among w~ell-dressed
women, has now become an indispen'
sable adjunct of the wardrobe, says q
fashion writer. That is, it has SO
firmly established itself in popular ia.
ivor that the smartly gowned woman
has come to regard it as a very neces'
sary article of her attire. This must
be considered some achievement, con-
sidering the fact that ever the most
discerning of the style specialists did
not predict its general acceptance.
There is this to be said for the sepa.
rate blouse of figured silk-it is a well
come relief from the lingerie blouse OF
the silk or satin blouse of white OF
pastel shades. Further, 1t provides
effective color contrast to a coat suit
of one color, of simple design un'
trimmed.

His Price Was Low.

While ashore in a port of one of
the little island republics In the Carib-
bean q number of United States ma
rines attended a bull fight that was
graced by the presence of his excel
lency the president of the republic,
says the Saturday Evening Post. The
sea soldiers occupied a box near the
presidential party and, to amuse them
selves while waiting for the show to
begin, threw pennies into a river that
flowed by the arena and watched ma
tive boys dive for them. The word
quickly passed that soldados Ameri-
canos were pitching wealth into the
muddy waters and soon hundreds Of
black shining faces were on the banks
of the river just outside the bull ring.
The marines enjoyed themselves huge
ly watching the little fellows dive, but
finally ran out of pennies and were
forced to raise the limit to quarters
and half dollars. One marine, more
reckless than the others, pitched a
big silver dollar, while a score of black
boys dived for it. He was just about
to repeat the performance when an
excited native seated near by plucked
at his sleeve and whispered hoarsely !:
"Please don't do that, senior, you'll
have the president diving"

SOME USEFUL LINING HINTS
Baby Coat Is Made Out OF the ordln-
AIRY by Employing Pink SILK Un-
der White Crepe de Chine.

One of the prettiest baby coats im-
aginable Is made quite out of the or
binary simply by Its lining. The coat
Is made of a heavy quality of crepe
de chine In white. The lining is pink,
not too deep a shade, but sufficiently
pink to show through the white in just
a delicate glow. The two silks are
embroidered and scalloped together;
this embroidery holds in the lining
just neal enough to the white to give
1t an elusive touch, delicate enough
for the tiniest baby.
Another lining hint is a bit more
practical. 1t consists In lining the
new satin collars with self-material to
make them do double duty. The nat
ural impulse Is to save material when
making wash satin collars and to line
them with a thin lawn or muslin, but
making the collar doubly of satin
means that 1t can be turned over when
soiled on one side, thus saving a wash
ing. Most of the long narrow collars
now worn with dark frocks can be
turned over in the twinkling of an
eye.

A Scarlet Rider.

Lieut.. Col. G. e. Sanders, D. S. O.
of the Second Canadian Pioneer Bat,
TALON, holds a somewhat remarkable
record in the Canadian forces. He is
said to be the first Canadian officer
who has eve been known to suggest
that his command should be taken over
by a younger a In view of the
splendid work which has been done
by the Second Pioneer Battalion, the
Canadian authorities have been rath-
er hard to persuade on this point; but
Colonel Sanders has, unfortunately, in
sisted that, while he may still be USE
full in other directions pioneering is a
young mans job. Colonel Sanders,
who fought through the Boer war with
distinction, was before that war in
command of the Northwest Mounted
Police at Calgary. Indeed, he returned
to that command of famous "Moun-
ties" after the war.

ALL O M NEED EXERCISE
Homework Find II an Aid to Both
Health and Beauty.

The woman who does her own
homework Is usually worn out at the
end of the day. She is apt to con-
clude, therefore, that exercise Is not
q word intended for her. She could
hardly make a greater mistake, how.
ever, declares a health expert. A WON,
an needs a half hours rest near the
middle of the day, it is true, but she
needs also systematic and stimulating
exercise.
One reason why are sc ia,
tigued at the end of the day is that
they lack muscle tone. Half an hour
of brisk exercise suited to the par.
ticular needs of each individual, and
taken regularly, followed by a cold
dash Of water, will serve to keep the
whole muscular and nervous system
in tone. 1t also works wonders In
keeping eyes bright and color good.
something that all women desire.

LOVERS OF FAIR PLAY
REVOLT AT DEVASTATION

Americans are lovers of fair play,
and when the soldiers in France view
the wanton destruction and desola-
ton inflicted by the Germans their
blood boils and they see red" The
feeling is we'll expressed by an Amer
:can in writing of the ruin OF quiet
villages and peaceful homes:
"Supposing this was the town in
which you were born and raised with
all the tender childhood memories Of
mothers knee and the old swimming
hole and the little kids that you used
To- play with. Suppose, after knock
ing around, you decided to return
home and gaze upon all these fam
iliar scenes once more and found the
old home battered to ruins, the boy
hood chums slaughtered, the girls
carried away-nothing left but ruins
and decay. What would you do:
You'd do exactly what the French
are doing. You'd fight and fight
uatll you had obliterated the cause
and wiped the menace from the face
Of the earth forever"

WHY THE LIMITATIONS?

The Oregonian had letter Mon
day from a citizen IS years Of age,
who had retired from active employ
rent, but who has responded to the
call Of patriotic duty by going to work
as night watchman at a box factory
4. klamath Falls. In the same issue
was an account Of the shameful ac-
tlyities of shameless Stacker at
Chicago who has contrived to get
Jobs as aircraft inspectors" for some
thirty young men OF draft age who
thought so we'll of their precions
hides that they preferred to help
fight the war four thousand miles
from the front.
1t is a pity that many men with
spirit and courage and efficiency are
too old to fight; and 1t is pity that
other men not too\old to fight have
neither the spirit nor the efficiency.
This leads to the observation that
there should be no such age limita-
tion as 21 and 81, or any other. 1t is
the peoples war, and all alike have a
duty to wage it. Why should 1t be de-

OF fire or other emergency requiring
their attention.
Forest officials have felt the need
for an efficient signalling instrument
CT this sort. One supervisor sent in
request for a cannon to be placed
.cn a mountain top and fired TO call
mer when necessity arose. The use
Of a bomb, TO be connected with a
telephone line so II could be fired
at will by field men, also has been
suggested.
The loud-sounding Klaxon signal
ing set as devised by Mr.. Allen will
SUPPLY the need for a powerful sig
mailing instrument and make a valu-
able addition to the fire prevention
equipment used by the forest sery-
zee. In a test made on the snoqual-
Lie national forest to try out this
instrument, the signal was heard
distance OF two miles.

DEVISED TELEPHONE CALL
THAT CAN BE HEARD A MILE

c. NJ. Allen. telephone engineer In
the office OF District Forester Cecil,
Portland, has devised an apparatus
which makes possible the calling to
the telephone Of persons who may
De considerable distance away from
the instrument.
The equipment consists OF an or
Glnary Klaxon horn operated by a
combination Of special relays adjust
ed so that a direct eufrent is neces-
sary 10 produce the loud sound
ing alarm. The energy TO operate
the relays is furnished by a special
magnetic which delivers either di,
rect or alternating current, thus
rcaking 1t possible to use the ordin-
cry ringing signal or the loud sound
ing alarm at will. Six cells Of dry
batteries are connected 10 the horn.
The horn is mounted with a reg
ular telephone transmitter and re-
ceiyer in a wooden case which pro-
tects the outfit when not in use. Thus
Il may be packed on horseback over
the forest trails without damage. 4
door in the front OF the case gives
access TO the telephone instrument.
The batteries which operate the
horn also furnish the energy for talk
ing and make It possible by the use
cf a special induction coil and inter-
.dpter to call distant stations that
are equipped with the standard for
cot service howler anywhere on the
lire. This coil and interrupter also
makes II possible to send signals
over a line which is in bad condition
due to fire or windfalls. While test
ing the apparatus. Mr.. Allen success
fully sent signals across a hundred
loot gap in the wire.
This special telephone equipment
was devised for use primarily in the
fire protection work Of the forest
service. Fire guards provided with
loud-sounding signalling sets may be
engaged in trail or bridge work at
some distance from their camp and
still be within telephone call in case
