DRAG NORTH MISSOURI HIGH.

DRAG NORTH MISSOURI HIGH
WAY ACROSS STATE IN A DAY.
IN to-day's Ledger will be found
a splendid suggestion from Presi-
dent John W. Million, Of Hardin Col
lese. regarding the dragging Of the
North Missouri Highway clear across
the state in one day. This PROPOSE
tion was tried out in Iowa and prov
ed most successful, as the farmers
all along the route clear across the
state came out and on the same
day dragged the road. The North
Missouri Highway is proving a most
popular route for cross-state travel,
and should be taken care of. We
teIieve President Millions sugges-
tIon a wise one and hope X will
be adopted by those who live along
the route clear across the State.
The following are some Of the
towns along the route:
ST. Louis, St. Charles, Wentzville,
Wsrrenton, New Florence, Montgorn'
cry City, Martlnsbur9, Mexico, Cen
raIla, Sturgeon, Moberly, Hunts
lvlie, Salisbury, keytesvllle. Car
roIlton, Norborne, Richmond, Ex
celsior, Liberty, Kansas City.
! We trust the newspapers in thes'
towns will asItate the question, ans
cooperate so that this work ma,
be zone early In the spring. One
days work by everybody interested
iclear across the state would brlns
magnificent results.
The plan as suggested by Presi
dent Million has been submitted Z
