JAIL BUILDING
CONDEMNED
Grand Jury Finds That 1t Is
"Unsightly, Unsafe and In
sufficient.

The Grand Jury was in session
three days last week-and they
did a good work, they found evi-
dences that number of persons
had been violating the laws, and
they brought in q indictments.
But in this connection you will
be interested in their report re-
garding the County Jail Build
ing. 1t was as follows:
To the Honorable Circuit Court
of Audram County:
We, the Grand Jury, beg leave
to report as follows: We have
examined into the conduct of the
officials in Office and the care and
management of the court house
and county records; and we com
mend the officers of the County
Court for their careful and eff
ticient management of the busi-
ness of the county; that the build
ing and equipment at the County
Farm are new we have not deem
ed it necessary to make close in
speetion.
Further reporting we wish to
call attention to the unsanitary
and unsafe condition of the Coun-
ty Jail. We have examined it and
find that the Jail portion is con
structed of soft brick and that it
is old and water worn; that the
wallstherefore are in an aged and
water-soaked condition, cannot be
cleaned and disinfected and that
there is grave danger to- persons
confined therein from tuberculosis
and other germs contained in the
walls thereof. That the cells are
Old pattern, small and lily lighted
and entirely insufficient in size
and strength for the keeping of
the persons necessarily confined
therein. That there is no way in
which the sheriff can separate the
unfortunate persons and the fe-
male prisoners confined in the
Jail from the criminal classes.
Further, the Jail is too small
and there is no way in which it
can be properly lighted and that
1t is entirely without sufficient
ventilation.
We further find that the iail
house is unsightly, unsafe and in
sufficient.
Signed, R. H. Lee, Foreman.

CALL HIM FARM
COMMISSIONER
A Word Regarding That Man E,
w. Rusk.

Prof. L. A. Trowbridge, in
structor of Animal Husbandry in
the College of Agriculture at Col
umbia, Mo-, was guest at the
luncheon of the Mexico CONNER
cial Club last Friday and when
called on for speech among
other things said:
"Just one thing about E. w.
Rusk; l hope the people won t re-
gard him as a 'book-farmer, "
81 have never been able in my
own mind To see how Mr.. Rusk
ever accepted this place as Farm
Adviser for Audrain when he now
has a position that pays him a
large salary. He is manager of
the A. S. Burr estate at Bement,
ILL.,. he is a saddle-horse man of
great ability; he is a graduate of
the Missouri Collge of Agriculture
and is man of all round practical
experience.
"I really do not believe there is
a better man available for the po-
sition of Farm Adviser in Au-
drain county.
/ feel pretty well acquainted in
Mexico; / came here today to at
tend Hamilton Brothers horse
sale and in this connection want
to say that Mexico's reputation
for fine horses and other live stock
is nationwide. Mexico has often
been referred to as the Lexington
of Missouri. Now, why not the
Mexico of Missouri
another thing that appeals to
me at this time is this: Why not
call your Farm Adviser a Farm
COMMISSIONER 1t sounds better
and carries with it less of the 'ex-
pert SAVIOR that is so objection
able to both the official himself
and the farmers. l hope the name
will be changed.
"At any time l can be of any
service to the Mexico Commercial
Club or any citizen in Audrain
county, want you to know thar
am at your service. l am glad to
be with you"
