MEXICO MUST GET BUSY
IF SHE IS MADE A STOP,
PING PLACE N FLIGHT
THE ST. LoUIs-KANsAs CITY
AERoPLANE CONTEST IS BEING
PUSHED BY r. p. HOOD OF
ST. LOUIS - MEXICO MUST
RAISE $500.
Seven stops Are Required and This
City Is Desired Place II the Cit
liens viii Help with the Amount
Allotted.

Mexico will have TO get busy and
do something IL she expects to be
made stopping point in the st.
Louis-Kansas City aeroplane flight.
There are but few days in which to
raise the balance of the $500 towards
this proposition. All of the other
six points have closed. Mexico is a
desired city for stopping point and
there ought not to be any doubt
but that the citizens and business
men will do their part to make the
thing sure.
The stopping points for the flight
that have closed are; st. Charles,
Montgomery City, Lexington, Carroll
ton, Brunswick and Huntsville. Mex
leo will also be one if the $500 al
lotted to her is pledged within the
next few days.
R. p Hood, Of st. Louis, who is
working ON the proposition, was n
Mexico Monday. Mr.. Hood stated to
the Ledger that Mexico was desired
spot to stop at, and he sad the Fair
Grounds would be selected for the
landing place. Seven stops are re-
quired.
The first prize is $4,000. The
Wright Bros. have signified their
willingness to enter two ships in this
race across the State. Others will
also be entered and this affair will
be q great advertisement for Nilsson.
ri and Mexico.
Mexico may never have another
chance like this and to guarantee
$500 is a very small amount com.
pared to the advertising she will
get.
People from all sections of the
State, as well as from adjoining
States, will no doubt come to sec
this flight. The Wabash Railroad wi
operate pilot train with the off
GERS of the road aboard, as we'll as
a corps of newspaper men from bott
St. Louis and Kansas City.
Bulletins will be posted all alonG
the line of this road. The stops mad
by the ships will afford the train
an opportunity to catch up with the
flyers at the stopping places.
Accounts are read every day O
the interest being taking in aeroplan
flights over the world, and crowds 81
a great distance to see these things
Think of what such a proposition al
making this city a stopping poin
would mean to Mexico. The adver
tisement gained from it would bt
worth far more than the $500
takes to make the thing 60
A plan suggested by Mr.. Hood II
regard to the Fair Grounds is to sci
tickets. The citizens could buy al
many tickets as they choose and il
this way a nice sum could be raised
The management of the Fair Associa
ton could have charge of th'
Grounds.

HON. w, r. PAINTER, of Carroll
