The others, no matter their age, as long as their parents do not wake up, are at liberty to roam the streets and joy ride at all hours to their heart's content. Friday, 18 Apr 1919, Vol 32.

No 52--Miss Dollie Miller, who has been in the West for the past two years, returned last week and will likely spend the summer with her sister, Mrs. Rhodes Burckhartt of near town. Friday, 18 Apr 1919, Vol 32. No 52--A dance was given at Mistletoe Hall Friday evening of last week by a Moberly gentleman, in which one number was pulled off that brought a prompt and vigorous protest from Marshal Williams. It was "Moonlight" dance, during which all lights in the hall, save on in the landing at the head of the stairs, which threw practically no light into the hall, were put out. There have been many dances here during the past winter, and each one, so far as we have been able to learn, has been unobjectionable in every way, and thoroughly enjoyed by all. While it may be possible that so many dances have been held that our young people have become surfeited with the ordinary dance and require Bowery stunts to keep their interest alive, we do not think that such is the case by any means. If we are wrong, we think it about time the parents in this town were taking a hand, for it is a great deal better to be safe than sorry, and if such things are allowed to continue, they will rapidly grow from bad to worse. If the young gentlemen of the town who have been giving the dances the past winter and who have derived a great deal of pleasure therefrom, along with those who attended the dances, will find it to their interest to keep the dances strictly under their own control, for as sure as daylight this "moonlight" stuff will put the lid on dancing in Higbee for along time to come, as it should. We believe, however, that the city authorities can be depended upon to see to it that the offense is not repeated. Friday, 18 Apr 1919, Vol 32. No 52--Geo. Forsythe moved his family here from Madison the first of the week and is occupying the property in the south part of town vacated by W. H.

Prather, which occurred at her home in that place that morning from pneumonia. She was 76 years old. Interment was made at Clark. She is survived by three brothers and two sisters. Friday, 18 Apr 1919, Vol 32. No 52--Mrs. W. A. Seymour and daughter, Mrs. Rosa Webster, drove over from Sturgeon Sunday and spent the day with the former's son, W. A. Seymour, and family. Notwithstanding Mrs. Seymour's 83 years, and the rather chilly weather, she enjoyed the trip, as well as every moment of her stay. Friday, 18 Apr 1919, Vol 32. No 52--Mrs. Jas. Wheeler, who has been quite sick for several days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Wilson, of northwest of town, is some better, we are pleased to state. As soon as she is able to travel she will leave for Colorado Springs, accompanied by Mr. Wheeler and their daughter, Mrs. W. H. Kuhn, to join Mr. Kuhn, who left for that city Thursday, and where they will spend the summer. Friday, 18 Apr 1919, Vol 32. No 52--CHAMPION HUN KILLER RETURNS--Roy Farrell, Monroe county's champion Hun killer, is now at Fort Riley, having returned from France last week. He is credited with putting 260 Huns out of business with his trusty rifle, thus sustaining his reputation as Monroe county's best shot and the record he made as a marksman at Camp Funston. A bursting shell finally put him out of action, several pieces burying themselves in his flesh. He is still in bad shape--Paris Appeal. Kathy Bowlin, Additions, corrections, comments welcome.
