Frank Kremer and August Weber
VIII Operate q Flour Mill in
That State-It Is Good
Property.

Frank Kremer, for s years manager
of the Mexico Custom Mills, and
August Weber, for 20 years q con-
tractor Of this city, have bought q
large flour mill in San Jose, I'll. This
mill has the same capacity as the
Mexico Custom Mills and is very valu-
able property. The sale takes effect
on February 1st, but Mr.. Kremer will
remain at his present position in this
city until his successor has been ia
stalled.
The LEDGER regrets seeing these
two gentlemen leave Mexico, as they
are progressive In every sense Of the
word. Mr.. Kremer, as stated above,
has been manager Of the Mexico Gus
tom Mills since he came to Mexico
from St. Charles, 8 years ago. he has
done much toward making the Gus
tom Mills what they are and has made
q host Of friends. Mr.. Weber has
contracted many of the finest build
ings In Mexico and at one time con-
Quoted a planning mill here. Mexico
is loser to San Jose's gain.

rae W AND THE COUNTRY.
They Are Mutually Dependent Upon
One Another-Cause Of General
Depression From q Farmers
Standpoint.

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo, Jan. Alt occurs to
me that the ali-absorbing topic Of the
day is what shall we do, not to be
saved, but to better the financial con-
dillon Of Mexico. Now, II you will
kindly permit me, through the coll
umns of your very able paper / will
offer for the consideration Of your
many readers what / believe to be the
cause Of the general depressed cum
dltion of the country and towns. I
would say they are mutually depend
emit on each other and by the laws Of
trade r naturally each others
friend. The two 90 hand-in-hand in
thrift and wealth or the reverse, as
the case may be. Thus, AZ the farm
ing interest depreciates, tine business
men of our cities break up and are
forced into bankruptcy. This 10 81 II
would be, all things being equal, but
We have lost sight OF what I term one
of the cardinal principles Of the Chi
cage platform-"equal rights to all
and special favors to none" And by
80 doing we have invested the towns
and cities with the power to lure the
most brilliant young men from the
farm; yes, the charms that fascinated
our forefathers have been absorbed
by legislation. In fact, farming is
considered degrading by many; end
under the existing circumstances we
can't expect any better.
As long as our Congress and legis-
lative halls are filed with Lobbyists
buying such laws as are most appii-
cable to their employers, as long as
we consider the dollar and not the
qualities that are essential in the
makeup OF q true and upright Of
acisl, just that long will the present
condition prevail. Someone has said,
"As you SOW, so shall you reap"
Now, I would suggest as a solution,
q standard on all farm products and
not q standard dollar, for we have had
instances in the last eighteen months
where hominy and hog we're refera-
BILE to gold.
Talk about economy-that's what
we want-let's see where we will be-
gin. Well, by abolishing one-tifth Of
the now existing offices, reducing the
clerical force of the remainder one
third, clipping from the county Of
fcials all over $500, reducing state
and national officials in proportion
appropriate said amounts to rock
roads, thereby giving work to thous-
anda and making q general distribu-
ton OF the public funds.
Now, I don't expect this article te
meet with favor, for 1t is right anc
just; but we have got to where the
Irishman was when he was about Il
be tried for stealing a pair Of pants
He was q little doubtful about thu
Judge, when bis attorney assured hin
he would get justice. The Irishmal
replied, "Faith, that's what 0pn
afraid Nv"
But, as the late lamented Horace
Greeley said, "What are we going Il
do about it," w. H. NoRTHoUrT.

BUSINESS AT N T
Our Neighbcr Village has Caught

Things Up-A Live Town.

Correspondence Of the LHDsHR.
BENTON CrrY, Mo-, Jan. 25-Benton
City Is the garden spot Of the State in
agricultural products and scenery, as
anyone can testify who has travelled
over the broad prairies and fertile
soil surrounding the city. Its roads
are u~nexcellsd, being In excellent
condition the year around. The mer-
chants and citizens are an enterprise
ing and prosperous class and have
organized an active Business Mems
Association, with z. T. Northcutt and
W. N. Mullins as leaders. After
organizing, the members Monday
evening were requested to give
their ideas ~ to the best methods
Of advancing the interests of building
up the city and advancing the agri-
cultural products with the farmer,
which was thought TO be the FIRST item
to be looked after.
W. N. Mullins, one of q wide
swake merchants, was first to take
the floor and express his views. Mr..
Mullins. said:
"My views are no doubt with all
fair minded men on this subject. My
vocation as q farmer until the past
eight years threw me In sympathy
with the farmer frst. To build up our
city we must co-operate with the
farmer. / have adopted the cash sys-
tenn the past two yeare end hnd 1t
beneficial to the farmer, tie city and
also myself. We should encourage
the farmer. Give employment to the
idle by building sidewalks, hitching
racks for the farmers, moving down
the vegetation during the summer
months, thus giving our town the APP
pearance that we still live here. As
TO good roads, we have them-the
best In the State. Water, we have
plenty. Some of our neighboring
towns propose taxing the farmer 81
on the 300 valuation for the improve
ment Of the roads. Make the poor
farmer pay It'll This will never do.
We must 60 down In our own jeans
and do this. We cannot build up our
city. by depressing the farmer; we
must take them from u nsighboEs
who would Cypress them by making
them pay but u on the 800 vaiua-
ton. Bring the farmer here and he
will build up u city for US. We
must first build up the farmer"
z. T. Northcutt was next to take
the floor: Said MIR. Northcutt:
ST started in the mercantile bust
ness here In 1890. l started on the
credit system, but found 1t oppressed
the farmer and was q detriment to
our city; l then adopted the cash
system and found it beneficial to al
concerned. As to voting a specia'
tax OF o. on the 800 valuation Of
property being held by the farmer tt
build roads to n city, 1t is out of this
question. We will allow q neigh
bors this privilege Of Expressing thu
farmer and we will wait with oper
arms to receive them AZ they turn t.
us. Should we need money to adj
vance the interests Of III city, W.
will 60 down in our old jeans, as Mr.
Mullins just told you, and pay IL. w
have good roads, water in abundance
and an electric light plant in sight o
rs. Let the building of sidewalks
hitching racks and moving Of weed
start at once, we will foot the bill
and our city will advance, leaving on
neighbors to wonder how we sue
ceeded."
Being no other members present
the Business Mems Association o
Benton City, Mo-, adjourned.
