Dallas Comes to Invite
Independence Over
ISIS THEATRE WELL FILLED
Break Down by Part of Dal
las Boosters Enroute a
Bad Feature for the
Meeting
Tha people of Independence
showed a ipirit of cooperation
Tuesday night at the big booster
meeting for the county fair. The
Isis Theatre was well filled and
would have been taxed to its ut
most if the Dallas contingent had
all arrived on time. A break
down on the road detained a good
part of the band and many of the
principal speakers and entertain
ers, and consequently many who
came left before the meeting
was started.
A little after nine the big truck
came in with the band boys on
it and the music feature was
started. The house filled up
comfortably full and the meeting
was enthusiastie and successful.
Attorney Hay ter, Secret a r y
Miles, and others of Dallas spoke,
while Attorney Swope represent
ed Independence at the meeting.
The plans of the fair, the neces
sity of cooperation, the get to
gether spirit were the main fea
tures of the speaking.
The people of Independence
showed the spirit of fairness and
on every side was assurance of
cooperation and support in the
movement. Independence being
the great center of many of the
leading industries of the county
this cooperation on the part of
our people was deeply appreciated
and Dallas feels much pleased in
the assurance they have from our
people. This county is too small
for petty jealousies and the Mon
itor feels that the only method
that should appeal to the people
of these two communities is that
of cooperation.
While both individually want
all they can get, when a decision
is made then the other should
join hands because in every pub
lic movement the permanent re
sults comes to all communities
alike, while the main expense
must be borne by the community
chosen to represent the county.
Independence will be at Dallas
September 23, 24, 25 and there in
goodly numbers.
Wednesday morninjr word was
received in Independence that
the hop house and heps of S. E,
Irvine had burned, making ap al
most total loss. While soma in
surance was carried, there was
not near enough to cover the loss
sustained. The origin of the fire
is not known, as the whole build

HOGS, BETTER THAN

paid was 8 cents and the five
porkers broiighthim $'222. 40.
Mr. Langbelm says with
proper attention hogs oan be
made to pay a better profit
than any other farm commo
