THE STATE HIGHWAY.
Great Effort TO Have It Located
Thru Audrain.

ihC poiby, h'duVh DH WV. lldu-
ley, left st. Louis at s 90 in the
morning, reaching Mexico at 200
at night, travelling 1870 miles. The
second division, coming by way of
Wellsville and Martinsburg,
reached Mexico earlier in the
evening.
Twenty-Five business men from
Mexico met the first delegation at
Nandalia and another party of
business men from Mexico met the
second division at Wellsville.
The first division reached Van
dalia two hours behind the sched-
ule time. The citizens were out en-
masse and Judge John Gatson in
troduced Gov. Hadley for a
speech. He responded with a
few happy remarks and then all
were off again for Mexico, passing
just north of Farber, going direct
ly thru Laddonia, and on TO Jim
Scott 'scorner toward Martinsburg
then turning directly west for
Mexico.
Fourteen automobiles were in
line and their bright lights CLEAN,
ing up and down the highway at
tracted people to the road all
along the line.
The visiting committee took
supper at Mexico and then a
smoker was given at the Elks
Club rooms.
The largest delegation here
from any other town was from
Hannibal. Other delegations were
here from New London, Center,
Perry, Wellsville, Montgomery
City, Vandalia, Laddonia and
Sturgeon-all here to boost for
the road to be located thru Au-
drain.
The Club Room was crowded
with those who desired to hear the
speeches.
S. J. Roy said that Hannibal
proposed to build a highway to
Mexico whether we got the Cross
State road or not.
President Meyers of the Hanni-
bal Commercial Club boosted for
the road and stated that above all
other needs Missouri needs good
roads first.
Sam Gill of Perry also had a
good word for the movement in
hand.
Sam Sharp of Montgomery City
also made a pointed speech.
Judge John Gatson of Van
dalia, a member Of the Audrain
County Court, also had words of
encouragement for the proposed
route thru Audrain.
Gov. II. S. Hadley made the
main speech of the evening. He
was guarded III what he said. but
was sure that when one of the
routes was established the other
route would follow also. What is
wanted is a starter.
Missouri s State highway ism t
to be beauty on paper and a
bumpy one to travel over, and
neither is it to be built next year
nor the year after; the State will
be spanned by highway from
border to border by September l
not by rock road, but by
road that may he used as a State
highway" said the Governor.
In urging the farmers to sup
port the good roads movement Mr..
Hadley dwelt at length on the
benefits which will accrue to the
farmer. He declared the cost
would be an investment rather
than tax and that the actual re-
turns on the investment would
amount to more than 10 per cent
He said that the inhabitants of
the State are paying none self-im-
posed taxes because of the bad
roads in the State than for all
other branches of State, county
and local government combined.
Tuesday morning the committee
and other delegations were off for
Thompson, Centralia, Clark and
Moberly.

Syracuse to Decide
Poughkeepsie Date

SYRACUSE, March 13.-The question as
to whether Syracuse University will send
a crew to Poughkeepsie will be decided
tomorrow night, at the monthly meeting
of the athletic governing board.
The senior council of the university
has been making a personal canvass Of
the students to collect enough money SO
that Jim Ten Eyck can send his crews
to the water on Onondaga lake, where
the ice is already clearing. So far the
students, with the help Of the alumni.
have gathered together $4,000, and $1,000
more is needed before the men can begin
their outdoor work.
Not abashed by the financial setback,
Ten Eyck has been busy with his candi-
dates for the last four weeks, and has
sixty-five men at work each day in the
big tankrocm of the gymnasium. Twen-
ty-five of these men are out for the var
slty crew, while the rest are freshmen.

URGE RACE CIRCUIT

Glidden Tour Advance Agent
Says Effort Is Gaining
Support.
By HARRY WARD.

During his visit to Washington last
week in the interest of the Glidden
tour, scheduled to be Iun from this city
TO Ottawa, Canada, A. R. Pardington,
representing the Manufacturers Contest
Association and the American Automo-
bile Association. stated the effort to or
ganize a national automobile racing cir.
cult was meeting with much success.
Mr.. Pardington recently visited many of
the leading automobile manufacturers
of the country and was assured that
thirty racing cars would make the cir
cult
The circuit IS positively assured" ,"
said Mr.. Pardington. "It will cover about
1000 miles of travel, visiting twenty-five
cities during the season. Inasmuch as
the idea is without precedent in auto
mobile history, imagined 1t would be a
somewhat difficult matter to put up to
the manufacturers and make them real
ize that the plan was feasible, even
though at the outset we had nothing
very tangible with which to work.
However, practically all who race cars
seemed intensely interested and went
into the scheme thoroughly, and almost
without exception agreed that consid-
erable money could he saved and en-
ergies concentrated to far better ad-
vantage In the circuit plan. rather than
by simply picking out scheduled race

Hard to Find Room for All.
NOW the only difficulty 1 am en-
counterlng is that of finding room for
all the companies who desire to be
represented on the grand circuit train.
We will be able to take only three cars
and crew of three men for each car
from any one concern. We will run
will be thirty days of racing, sixty
days of travel. and the rest of the time
the crews will be practicing on the
various tracks and speedways, over
hauling their cars, etc. The season
will open at the Indianapolis speedway

THE manufacturers will save vast
sums in the transportation of their
racing cars and crews, and there will
be given to the contests a high-class

prizes for the tin mugs that used to be
given the winning drivers. The officials
will be In every case the very best In
the land. Every race will be timed with
electrical instruments and a record
made will never be questioned. Every
chance for the cry of fake will be re-
moved from these events.
To Contend for Championship.
when a car that has followed the
grand circuit races finishes the season
it will have a record. The cars in
every class will be contending for u
championship, much the same as the
teams in a baseball league. It's going
to be worth something to win an auto
mobile race from now on
THE administration car will carry a
corps of clerks for tabulating results
and keeping the percentages. This
sounds like an enormous proposition
and. of course, it is, but, as one maker
said, this is the first time that automo-
bile racing ever was on a fair road to
high-class sport and businesslike man

TWO MORE WELLS.

More intensified development of the
prospective oil field in the vicinity Of
the Port of Pascagoula was assured
during the current week. Work was
begun last Monday morning on two
additional oil wells, one at Lame,
about three hundred yards west of de
Lamorton we'll No. I, and the other
on the Pollock property on the beach,
about one and one-half miles south
west of Lame. The Pascagoula De-
velopment Company, the ! original
prospectors in the promising field,
and the Bellevue Oil Company, Ltd,
of New Orleans, are the companies at
work on the two new wells. These
wells will serve to test out wider
areas of the field, and as the work
progresses in each, more interested
attention on the part Of the outside
oil men will be attracted. The first
well at Lame has proven a gas field,
and this proves the presence of oil
somewhere in the vicinity. The sec
ond well at Lame may bring in the
crude oil itself or result in an increase
in the gas output of the field. The
well on the beach being drilled by
the Bellevue company may prove
presence Of oil or gas, or both, at that
point also.
