After Food Hoarders

Attorney General Palmer has TAX

poses, if possible, to recah the food
hoarders and price manipulators
through the route of criminal pros
ecutions. While the big fellows are
controlling vast amounts of food
supplies, and using the storage of
food to create greater values, there
are, at the same time, inumerable
numbers of small retailers rakine
in airplane profits for handling
goods. Many of these will be prose
cuted, and as further part of the
program of holding down the hoard
ers and manipulators there has been

TROOPS CROSS BORDER
U. S. Troops Enter Mexico
After Bandits

United States troops crossed the
border into Mexico early last Tues
day morning in pursuit of Mexican
bandits who captured and held two
American aviators, Davis and Peter
son, prisoners in Mexico until a
ransom of $4,000 was paid over to
band. Both Davis aud Peterson ac-
companied the troops and are con-
fident they can return to the spot
where they were held prisoners.
Soldiers composing the punitive ex-
pedition are from the 9th Cavalry
and are supported by aviators with
bombing planes. There were pack
trains carrying field wireless for use
when the troops are out of touch
with the aviators who will scout
wide district.
Colonel Langhorne. in charge,
sent message to Antonio Pruneda.
the Mexican General, notifying him
of the expedition that he might
notify his troops in the field and
thereby prevent possible clash
with Carranza troops.
The expedition is being conduct
ed with the full knowledge and con-
sent of the Washington authorities,
who have been withholding the an
nouncement of the governments
policy until the two Americans
were safe. This is the second ex-
pedition of its kind since the Persh-
ing expedition in pursuit of Villa.
The other was the expedition into
Juarez at the time of the recent
fighting. .
In its diplomatic aspect it does
not take on the character of an act
of war, as its sole purpose. under in
ternational law, is not to invade the
sovereignty of Mexico, nor to attack
its government, but to punish or
extermi1ate the bandits who held
two American army officers for
ransom.

Outlook Good

The state wide movement to con.
struCt durable roads with state and
federal aid under the new law
which has been in force less than
four months. is already yielding re,
suits beyond the expectations oi
the sponsors of the measures With
approximately $40.O00OOO in bonds
voted and proposed in the different
counties in the near future the apex
of the movement to submit projects
for state and federal aid will not be
reached until later in the year.
The State Highway Board. at its
last meeting approved eleven road
projects calling for an estimated ex.
penditure of $9S8,550 on 58 miles
of road. At a previous meeting il
approved projects in six counties
that will cost about $1.00O,000. Now
that the Federal Bureau of Public
Roads has assigned a resident enei.
neer to Missouri to expedite the
road building movement. the pro.
jects will be speedily passed upon
by the federal government and the
contracts for the building will be
let shortly. The end of the year
will find Missouri building more
durable roads than ever before in
her history.

We Win Again

The Shelbina Democrat of this
week contained the following &C.
count of the ball game at Proctor's
Park last Sunday:
There was an alleged ball game
at Monroe City Sunday between
Shelbina and Monroe City, in which
the latter was victor by a score of
ii to o. We are told Shelbina took
seven men and borrowed two from
Monroe City. Of these seven nearly
all of them tried their hand at
pitching, including "Hippy" Dewey,
the catcher. When "Hippy" pitch
ed. Lynne Dickerson went behind
the bat. Others who tried their
hand at pitching were Bill Chap
man, Jim Hawkins and Lynne Dick
erson and probably one or two
more. The spectators should have
asked their money back, if the game
was as rotten ss reported"
The game was rather uninterest-
ing and the big crowd probably had
a right to at least ask for rain
checks. 1t was also a rather pa
thetic scene-the big bunch of
Shelbina rooters patiently waiting
for the big rally" which never came.
The Monroe boys had their batting
eye with TEEN and numerically
pounded everything offered regard
less of who was doing the offering.
Threlkeld, Shelbina's boasted twirler
played first base throughout the
game, deaf to the calls from both
sides to enter the pitchers box. He
knew the home boys had On their
war paint" and that he would share
the same fate of his team mates.

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1919-08-22
is UP TO THE VOTERS
Monroe County Voters Will
Decide Tomorrow

Tomorrow, Saturday. Monroe
County will vote on the proposed
bond issue of $4,000 for hard sur.
face roads. which amount, together
with state and federal aid, it has
been figured, will build 253 miles
of gravel roads in the county.
With the day so close at hand it is
still hard to form an opinion as to
the final results. The Democrat
man has talked to people in all
parts of the county. farmers and
business men, and his honest opin-
ion is that there will be no big ma
jority either way. Just why this
is the case we are enable to say
Had this election been held on the
date first announced there is no
doubt but what the proposition
would have been defeated. The
change to later date has given
the people more time to consider
the matter and many who would
have voted no" at that time will
vote yes" tomorrow.
Missouri's great awakening to the
benefits to be derived from good
roads can he realized from the fact
that during the past few months
bond issues to the amount of $751;
100000 have been voted in several
counties and that $25.000000 more
in other counties are soon to be
voted on with favorable prospects
Monroe county is one among the
wealthiest in the state, our county
indebtedness is very smell. and
there is no reason why We shcptd
not take our place in the front
ranks for modern improvements
and progress.
Personalities should be laid aside
for this great constructive work and
all join hands for the good of the
entire county and state. Things
have no doubt been done in this
good roads movement in Monroe
county that should not have been
done; other things have not been
done that by all means should have
been done, but that is a matter OF
record now and the vital question
confronting us at present is-will
you by your vote tomorrow assist
to pull Monroe county out of the
mud forever or will you. either by
voting against or failing to vote at
all. advertise your county as back
number and ncnprOgressive?
Those who attended the speaking
at South Park Tuesday evening
heard the splendid good arguments
made in favor of good roads. The
Democrat regrets that the attend,
ance was not larger. Talks were
made by J. j. Browning and A. E
Early of Paris. Ben Hulse of Han
nibal, Mr.. Elliott of St. Louis. j
Weldon Hardesty of Deer Creek and
w. W. Longmire of this city. and
we venture the assertion that had
the voters of Monroe county been
present at this meeting the bond
proposition tomorrow would carry
without a dissenting vote. and We
hope it will anyway.
