Monroe City Plans Free Celebration Weekender
A five member committee led by Thompson Yates Robey Conway and Carson mobilizes a free entertainment program for Monroe City. Dare devil Daves wire act from a water tower and a free screen show headline a day of clowning juggling music and revelry with an automobile parade and a 1:30 pm slide for life centerpiece followed by a Roosters versus Shelbina clash at Proctor's Park and a free old fashioned dance to crown a townwide celebration.

Dream Peddler Doll Shop play charms Century Club night
The Dream Peddler in a Doll Shop presented by Miss Josephine Fisher assisted by Miss Silas Haynie under the Century Club drew a full crowd last Friday. Fifty-two local children acted, earning praise for their training as the show included wife doll, Kewpie, Bisque and Rag dolls and a first class Negro mimicker. The performance supported Chautauqua funds and featured a variety of singing dolls and scenes. Also reported, Monroe City Board of Aldermen passed a paving resolution for Main Street with macadam, and neighbors on North Vine Street agreed to shoulder repair costs with two installments, signed June 19, 1915.

Buyers Acquire 40 Acre Wheat Field for 500
Last Saturday L L Owen and Roy McFarland bought a 40 acre wheat field from E M Tooley for 500. The field, once rated among the best in the area with an expected yield of 40 bushels per acre, has been damaged slightly by heavy rains and wind. The purchasers would not estimate total yield but expect to cut the crop soon after starting two binders, weather permitting.

Beer Keg Wheel Helps Kansas Farmers Save Crops
Kansas farmer M. H. Snodgrass invented a keg axle device for binders to ease muddy field work after rains. Holes in the keg ends hold a galvanized pipe as an axle, bearing most of the machine’s weight. The system spread to Monroe county farmers as feasible, with D K Yowell considering early adoption if kegs prove workable.
