An American pool table is a grateful
oasis to the American soldiers impa-

take kindly to the model Of pool or bill

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1919-11-07

So the farmer, seeing the inter
minable struggle of the city folk
for more money and less work and
realizing that many of the demands
are going to be paid for in part
out of his pocket. must begin to
feel rebellious
With that sound sentiment we
think our headlong radicals are 60
ing to collide sooner or later and the
sooner the better. The farmer does
not get carried off his feet by mob
psychology. He has to think as an
individual and looking over the
world he can see its great need for
peace and work. for filling in the
great chasm war has made, for
cooling down and saving wood.
Organized labor is going to make
a fatal mistake il under the infiu
ence of leadership bent on seizine
power and remodeling society it
proceeds at this time of unpreced-
ented need to drop its share of the
. partnership load. cut down its hours
of work and interrupt its share of
production by repeated strikes for
higher and higher pay. When it
comes to strikes there is none that
mechanical labor or any city class
can pull" which can be compared
for moment in sweeping. devas
tating, conclusive power to the
strike the folks on the farm have in
reserve.
We in the cities and factories, be-
ing packed together, can make a
great noise, can destroy much. But
the farmer stands at the gate of life
itself and he can shut it on every
one else and save himself and
his own.

Short Line Sold

We are atle this week to give
what app ATS to be authentic news
concerning the sale of the st. Louis
and Hannibal Railroad The rumor
has been cnrreut for three or four
weeks, but we did not publish any
thing governing il because nothing
official ever came to light and there
was too ,nucn uncertainty.
Now, however, it seems that John
Ringing, one Of the members of the
circus firm Of Ringing Bros, has
bought the property and will soon
be in charge of the road. 1t will al
so be good news to the patrons of
the lice 10 know that the new owner
will soon make applications to the
state public service commission for
permission to bond the road in the
sum of $4,000 per mile, which will
be spent in Improvements on the
pr operty in the way of lettering the
rosdbed, adding new cars and en-
gines and also, we hope, giving us
some new depots along the line.
We trust that all of our hopes for
the future of the Short Line may be
realIZed, and that it will soon BE-
made much better road in every
way.--~Troy Free Press.

Missouri Tractor Survey

Missouri has one farm tractor to
every forty farms, says E A. Lo-
ian and Jewell Mayes, of the Feder-
al and State Crop Reporting Service.
On June 1, 1919, there was re-
ported in use on Missouri farms s.
1892 tractors and since that time
sixteen companies have delivered
to dealers and farmers 2,700 or more
machines, or total at the present
time of over 6,032, one large concern
having shipped in over LOO since
June LIST, The 2,700 machines have.
been sold by sixteen companies. and
perfect resurvey would doubtless
locate not less than 1900 tractors
in Missouri.
The largest number of tractors
are found in the northwest, west.
central and east Missouri, with
Nodaway, Platte Galloway and Lin
coin counties each having more
than 100 in operation on June 1st.
According to dealers Carter, Doug.
las, Ozark, Shannon and fancy
counties have no tractors used sole
ly for farm purposes Those makes
of tractors reported as having over
200 in use on farms at that time
were the Avery, Fordson, Interna-
tional. Mogul, Moline and Titan. All
the state was covered. However.
the returns cannot be considered an
exhaustive census, but are fairly re-
preventative according to kinds of
tractors in the various counties
The tractor business is just begin
ming to get we'll under way and
both dealers and farmers of Mis-
souri, now realize that the tractor

An exchange notes the fact that
a number of murders have been
committed in the state since the
revised capital punishment law
went into effect. 1.-THE punishment
of hanging is intended to prevent
murder, it is a failure. 1t can hard
ly make the criminal a better man
when there is nothing of him left to
experiment on. And in addition to
that, solitary confinement for life
would be a more dreaded punish
ment with many criminals than the
death pen atty. notwithstanding all
which ha neing is too good for some
crimes.

When the Farmer Quits

Folks on the farm must be read
ing the newspapers nowadays with
growing conviction that most of
the people in the cities have gone
crazy. Perhaps they are right. A
thorough knowledge than casual
newspaper reading gives would't
weaken the impression much.
What's the matter with us?
We are not going to try diagno-
sis here. Probably our farming
neighbors have their own shrewd
notions of our case In the end
they may have to help. In fact,
they are helping now. so much that
we don't realize how important
their help is because it is funda-
mental
The farmers are saving Us be-
cause they are wOrking-working,
not sQuabbling; working to produce
not Injuries but necessities.
But they must be getting bit
restless over the situation. The
farm is more necessary to the city
than the city to the farm, but both
are essential to a high order of CIV
ilization; but are partners in human
progress the farmer the senior
partner without whom the concern
could not live, the city worker the
junior without whom the concern
would not 90 ahead. But in this
partnership each must carry his
share of the lOaI. and if he shirks.
the additional weight falls upon the
other.
So just now the farmers must be
and are-for we have recently
heard some pointed remarks in that
direction-beginning to wonder if
the city partners are going to make
serious trouble for the concern.
Certainly farmers are going to
pay, are paying, good part of the
cost of persistent Reorganization OF
y industry, recurrent strikes and
shortening hours. All of this ads
to the cost of everything the farm
er gets from the cities. Reduce pro-
duction of goods while the farmer
increases production of food and
food will come down and goods 60
up.
The farmer works long hours at a
very highly skilled trade. one which
calls for bodily strength and for
brains and for long experience;
and discounting all his efforts OF
Drawn and brain is the almost una.
voidable hazard of nature which in
a few weeks of untimely heat or
an hours untimely cold wipes out
the labor of season. The farmer
makes other sacrifices, which hap
PLY are being decreased in modern
times by good transportation. COM
munication and the development OF
machinery. But the fact remains
THAT it would be impossible to get a
very large proportion of the men
and women of the cities to leave
the social possibilities of CITY life on
any terms.

Print Paper Scarce

The situation in the market on
white paper-the kind newspapers
use-is becoming desperate. Since
before the war, when white paper
was to be had in abundance at S3S
a ton, there has been a steady adj
vance in price until it has now
reached $120 and $3.50 ton at the
mills.
Not only that, bit it is difficult to
obtain even at that price, so great
has become the consumption and
so reduced the output of the mills.
A recent letter from white pa
per expert says:
AS far as can forecast the stu.
alton, there seems to be no relief in
sight, Eastern mills are biddiL &
against each other, and price seems
to be no object if they can get a

fix that I could not eat hardly any
thing without being in misery after
wards. Even the Highest foods would
bloat me up with gas and / was con-
stantly belching up sour, undigested
food that at times would almost
! choke me. Often I get dizzy that
1 would almost fall, and 1 would get
nervous that it was almost impossible
for me to rest at night. l suffered
agony from rheumatism and was in
such wretched condition generally
that was hardly fit for anything.
After trying nearly everything |
could hear of, I took Tanlac, and it
has made different man of me. NV
