East Holm Place will be the scene
OF much active building operations
this spring. S. B. Muirheid, an ar
cnitect of st. Louis, representing the
Apex Realty Co. of 50. Louis, is
here for the immediate erection of
six residences I'M that beautiful addi-
ton to the city. They will range from
handsome dwelling houses to three
room cottages. After they are con-
struc,e0, there is tendency to
use more ONES, the Company will
likely build them.
In parts of the addition there
are building restrictions and the
houses win be placed accordingly.
At the corner of MaeFarlane and
East Holm avenue will be built fine
seven room bungalo and several 9th
er fine homes On Jeffries street,
where the restrictions aren't so great
the three room cottages viii be
erectd. The three room cottagee will
have kitchenettes similar to those in
the smaller apartment houses of st.
Louis.
Mr.. Muirheid says the work will
start shortly and he hoped to have
the buildings finished in short
time. He and his wife viii make
ltheir home here while the work is

AUoRAIN AND scIEN-

Z THE Ledger is glad to see such an
interest taken in Agriculture as was
manifest Wednesday when great
crowd visited the Agricultural spec
ial on the Wabash. The attention
given by the farmers of Audrain coun
ty 10 advanced agriculture is signal
and we are among the leading coun
ties whose effort to better condl-
ttrs has received notice.
Au5rain was second in attendance
farmers week in Columbia this year,
We have had two farmers institutes

forth fIatteTlng comment from the Wis
ltipR experts. That improved farming
q successful here needs no further
proof than the annual report of the
state Labor Bureau which places
us first In the production Of oats as
well as among the leaders in other
i.nes Of soil tilling.
The attendance Wednesday was not
r,ade up wholly of school children an
farmers; there were business men
present who came for other purposes
bea'de viewing Chief Josephine. they
tcu are interested in farming;
some own farms and others desire
further light in farming merely fol-

conditions which are based upon the
crop results.
Intensive farming is no longer a
theory but a virile condition proved
beyond a doubt The Ledger in Sc

the county this year did so, impelled
by the thought that we were in a
