The Missouri Automomile AS
ISOLATION has made application to
the American Automobile Associ-
alton for their three day endur-
ance run for the Arcadia Country
Club trophy, for July 10, 16 and
II, and as soon as the sanction is
received entry blanks and rules
and regulations of the run will be
mailed out to prospective entrants.
A number of the residents of the
districts through which the run
will go have expressed their in
tention of having a part of the
roads in their districts dragged
and improved in any other way
that they can and this assures the
entrants that they will have but a
few miles of bad going on the en-.
tire route of 400 miles. Arrange
ments are being made for a special
train to run from this city to Ar
cadia to carry st. Louisans who
do not care to ride in the cars with
the contestants. A number of
car owners of Southeast Missouri
will take part in the run as nom
contestants, and this will add
greatly to making this the biggest
run of the season.-St. Louis POST
Dispatch,
At the meeting of the Business
Mems League last Thursday even
ing the business spirit was more
than usually manifest. The prin-
cipal question discussed and acted
upon was that of roads. The sub
scription lists toward the building
of the Shepherd Mountain drive
and the automobile road to the st.
Francois county line were encour-
aging. The amount necessary to
the former has been nearly, if not
quite subscribed, and the sum re-
quired for the automobile road is
assured. A delegation was deput-
ed to visit Pennington and confer
with the League there, and see
what might be expected from that
end OF the line. The delegates re-
turned from their visit yesterday
evening with the cheering news
that the st. Francois county court
had that day ordered an expendi-
ture of $1,000 on the road on their
side of the county line. Work
from both ends, as we'll as on the
Shepherd Mountain drive, will be
begun promptly. The League al
SO provided for the clearing of the
Valley roads from loose stones,
and the work is now being done.
A Fourth of-July Picnic and
Home Coming was projected and
the usual committees appointed.
For particulars, see the big bills
soon to be issued. Yes, it was a
business meeting all right, and
sure to produce results. The
League will meet again Thursday
evening of this week.
The following in reference to
Mrs. M. F. Winningham, nee
Mary Patton, who was born and
reared in Ironton is taken from the
last issue of the West Plains
Journal: "The West Plains public
schools lost another excellent
teacher when Mrs. Mary F. Win
bingham announced last weel
that she has accepted the position
of dean of women in the New
Mexico College of Agriculture ant
Mechanical Arts located at La
Crusces, New Mexico. A shor
time ago the excellent position
was rendered to Mrs. Winning.

consented, it was such an excel
tent place that she could not wei
refuse it. Mrs. Winningham has
taught in the West Plains schools
for a number of years. She has
been principal of the High
School and served as Superinten
dent. The pupils loved and re-
spected her and the school board
upon being informed of her de.
cision, regretted to lose Mrs. Win.
bingham from the faculty of tn,
school. AS a teacher, Mrs. Win
bingham has no superior in this
part of the state. She has worked
her way gradually to the front un'
til she has become one of South

Her removal to New Mexico is no
only a loss to the city schools o
West Plains, but a loss as we'll tt
