ft : - pit-Not Quit and is not going to C. L. Carpenter has bought the J. T. Settle farm of 200 acres, east of the city at $70 per acre, but the report that he will quit business for the farm is unfounded for He Will Continue to conduct The Best Bakery . in North-east Missouri, will continue to turn out the Best Bread, Best Cakes, Best Pies and to run the BEST CAFE to be found anywhere, so go to Carpenter's . 1 1 THE DEMOCRAT lOUSE, Editor lUXSON. City Krtltnr. $1,00 PGR VPi Entered at City, Mo. the postoflk-e at Monroe , a second-class matter. THURSDAY. MARCH 11. 1909. AN IDEAL Highly Improved, Fertile Missouri Farm. I in racks and placed so neither i mice nor chickens could get to it. From the barn leading to the stock pens are storm doors. Did you ever see such things in a farmers barn? Passing through a storm door we went out to see pens and pens with 32 head of nice coming 2 and 3 year olds in them. i And then there was the first class bull and boar barn, and then i the big fancy corn crib filled with corn and the granery adjoining it i And what he called the tool 1 house. It contained every imple ment that belonged on the farm and I though we drove all over the 425 I acres we did not see an implement . out doors any where. From there we went to the scales Take notice. The above head lirif Hnf5 not rnntain the word "tVD- leal" because we are not in Kansas. ! which are. enclosed and would weigh Nebraska or Iowa and we have no a Puu OI DU"er 38 accurately as I a Duncn oi steers. I Then off to a blue grass pasture home, with the wife and children and what more could be asked for this side oj the Kingdom Come? Mr. Elzea is a conservative pro gressive man. One that wants the best, gets the best and takes care of it. He wants the best of gate and has them. The same way with barns and buildings and fencing and has them and is entitled to them be cause he has worked for them. We forgot to say fence All of the line and cross fencing is wire and the cedar posts from the cedar hills of Ralls County will last a life time. Every thing was simply in ship shape and not fixed for our inspection. Travelers m.WM OQIQS T ill Ctflrrn $t Chkai farms for sale, nor is the one we write of for sale. . Friday morning Charles L. Elzea took us for a drive down the gravel road and when we got to his place, instead of getting out of the pretty buggy he swung the gate open with a leaver. Improvement No. 1. On his fathers farm in the good old days it would have been out in the mud, one man and two boys to open the gate. Improvement No. 2 is the gravel drive up to the pretty home with a cement-style block and cement walk to the house. We were cordially received by Mrs. Elzea and two fair haired children in the sunny sitting room, and during the conversation she said: I have chickens too and nice ones, the Black Minorcas, and when she showed us thebeauties and then 250 of other varieties we agreed with her. Her hen house would tickle the heart of a poultry fancier. It is roomy, windows along the south side, well lighted and aired and has cement floor. Sauabs well yea They have 100 Dhteons. Mr. Elzea then took us to one of the best arranged bams we havje ever been in and there we saw some of the stock, hay, grain and-say, to see 65 head of cattle that will be seal fat in the fall, and the past ure itself, blue grass, would warm the cockles in the heart of a Ken tucky Colonel from Lexington for it was just like it only more so. The wheat looked like wheat and as though the frost had neither spewed or injured it a bit. As we drove from one rolling field to another you could see for miles across the Monroe -prairie which has a few equals and no superiors. And then came the pasture with the lovely flock of 130 head of fan cy Shropshire sheep that would have opened the eyes of an English man and cause him to ask, where did they come from? Why they are just like the ones on the downs at home. Then when it comes to fruit they hve just what they want for the prairie soil produces it as perfectly asj it does the blue grass. .The blue grass pasture where the cattle are is as rich as the valley of thie Nile, for; for twenty years herds of cattle have been fed on it and grazed on it, until soil could . be no more fertile. , Tt Ja.

Mr. Roosevelt, comparatively young in years and a man of great physical vigor, may reasonably be expected to upset the popular notion, which has considerable basis in fact, that the presidents of the nation are not apt to long survive their retire ment from office. Mr Cleveland lived twelve years after his retirement from office. This record was exceded by only ten presidents and four of these lived to a great age. John Adams survived his retirement a quarter of a century, and his son, John Quincy, outlived his retirement nearly twenty years. Tyler also survived twenty years after leaving office. Thomas Jefferson lived sev enteen years after his retirement and James Madison nineteen years. Martin Van Buren lived twenty-one years after quitting the White House, the same number of years that Millard Filmore survived. James Monroe lived six years after his retirement. Andrew Jackson eight years, Franklin Pierce twelve years. James Buchanan seven years Andrew Johnson six years, Ulysses S. Grant eight years, Rutherford B. Hayes twelve years, and Benjamin Harrison eight years. William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Abraham Lincoln, James A Garfield and William McKinley died in office. Washington survived his retirement less than three years. Polk died only a few months after retiring from office, and there is every reason to suppose that had Arthur compassed his ambition of an election to the presidency in 1884, he would have died early in his term, for he outlived his retire ment less than two years.

I asked, 'ever con sidered the ethical side of your business?' " 'What do you mean?' " 'I moan the ethics of manipula tion. I know you to bo an honest man, esteemed above the average by your associates. 1 know you to be also a charitable man. who has performed quietly much personal good in his world. But I know your business, too. You have made ! a great deal of money by stock market manipulation - by selling! things to the public for more than tey were worth and taking them j back from the public at less than j they were worth.' " 'You think that is immoral?' " 1 am asking you.' " 'But suppose in selling a thin high or buying it low I am myself wrong, as I very often have been?' ' 'You have got rich by it. Any how that doesn't touch the moral. By manipulation you purposely create a fictitious market on which you can sell a stock for much more than you think it is then worth, and later, perhaps, when you are ready to buy that stock back, you resort again to manipulation that you may obtain it for less than it is worth.' "After a long pause he said: 1 have been down here in Wall Street more than thirty years. I have had to take things as I found them. I have had to do things pretty much as other people did them. This is no moral training ground. It's, a place for strong-minded men. Much that goes on here is wrong. Money making is a sordid business any where.
