Z. w. Rusk, of Bement, ILL.,, a
graduate Of the College of Agri-
culture of Missouri, is to be the
Farm Adviser of Audrain county.
He was here last week, making ar
rangements to move here. He is
a fine gentleman and thoro
farmer and his services ought to
be of great value to the farmers
of the county. He will not force
himself upon any one, but if we
were a farmer we'd make his ac-
quaintance forthwith and at once.
His salary is guaranteed by the
Mexico Commercial Club.

THE REQUEST REFUSED.

Judge j. d. Barnett at Mont
gomery City last Thursday re
fused the request for a fore
closure, and the appointment Of a
receiver, for the Mexico, Santa
Fe & Perry Traction Company, at
least until the March term OF the
Audrain County Circuit Court
AS the Message stated last
week, there are 400 or 500 people.
besides certain of the directors,
interested in this railway project,
and we believe the large majority
of these think that the petition
for a receiver was undue haste.
About three dozen, in short
canvass last week, signed a pro
test against the foreclosure.
We call attention to Mr.. +. l.,
Crosby's interview given on an
other page of the Message rela-
tive to his efforts to buy the prop
erty.
We want to be fair and square
in anything we may say, pertain
ing to this petition for fore
closure, but we verify believe that
Judge Barnett is right in refus-
ing such request. If Mr.. Crosby
viii reconsider, we believe be yet
ought to be given a chance to buy
the railroad and extend it and
equip it. Or if he cannot again
be interested, let's find some
other way out.

RECOGNIZING CONDITIONS

The editor of the Message spent
a day or so last week in our sister
town of Louisiana. We went
along with K. D. WorrelI and K.
E. Race, members Of the Mexico
Commercial Club, to help induce
Chas. Cooper, the protector of
the Keokuk Dam, to come to
Mexico and deliver his lecture
here, and he comes in April. We
had the pleasure of hearing Mr..
Cooper on this subject at Hanni-
bal last June, we heard him
again Friday night, and no" if
we hear him again in Mexico We
ought to be able TO build a dam
too-except we might be troubled
like the Irishman-not able to
understand "how IN the diyil
you git the lie along the wires.
Louisiana is a good town and it
is most commendable that her
commercial club, under whose
auspices Mr.. Cooper spoke there,
should want a better town.
Louisiana has some things she
should not have, some things she
does not need. In that regard
she is like Mexico. She does not
need her saloons. As argues THE
Major" who writes for one OF
her newspapers, the town would
be very much better off morally
and commercially without her
thirst parlors.
A prominent Louisiana business
man told us that Louisiana is

year. He is posted, aud he limited
what we did not know, that Mex
leo is losing the same way. Well,
if it's true there's a reason.
Louisiana needs paved streets
they lead to so many other inn
provcments. She needs that
$2j.O GOO high school building. But
she must recognize conditions,
and right them, and keep on pull
ing. With such live wires as the
Buifums, Starks and others her
motto ought to be Ever Upward.
The town has a noble trio of
newspaper people. They are pro
grcssiye fellows and are ever
boosting. Bryson with his fine
.humor and puns has earned the
Louisiana postoftice long ago and
he ought to have it as soon as
GAM is thru with it. and then if
there is any good thing for
Minor and Word and the other
fellows they should not be forgot
ten either.
Louisiana ought to be a great
city-on the banks of the Father

her for the upbuilding and better

along with this we all stand for a
