Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1914-03-05

Listen to this from the Wright
City News; it is what the Mes
sage has been preaching lately
Rural Missouri will never be
densely populated as long as it is
impossible for a poor man to buy
q small farm with borrowed
money and by his own labor sup
port his own family and pay off
his debt. Also, Missouri will not
be developed to the full until her
agricultural lands are divided up
INTO small farms and every acre
is made to produce its full limit

Members of the Centralia Com
mercial Club met with the Mexico
Commercial Club last Friday and
after discussion it was decided to
join in efforts to open a new road
between here and Centralia on
the North State Highway, to get
around some rough hills north of
Thompson. 1t will shorten the
route about five miles, it is said.

Audrain county citizens have
subscribed about $115 toward a
fund of $3.50 for sending some
Audrain county boy to the Agri-
cultural College at Columbia. 1t
is a very worthy object. The
idea was originated by the st.
Louis Republic, and many coun-
ties in the State started such
funds. Audrain lacks but $40 of
being out. This remainder ought
to be made up at once.

TELLS AUTO DRIVERS
TO PAY STRICT HEED
TO MACHINE BEARINGS

Bearings are as foreign to thought
Of The average automobile owners 0s
straw hats are TO an Eskimo" said
u. ca Koether sales manager Of the
Hyatt Roller Bearings company Of
Newark A. j., in recent converse
ton with some big men in the auto
mobile industry.
That may sound like a rather over
drawn statement to men in the trade"
he continued. "but / have found out
that il IS nevertheless true. The Or
binary automobileo wner only asks
that his car keep going. His eXplo-
rations into the mechanism of the
machine are confined to seeing that IL
gets OH, water, and gasoline when nee
essary He little realizes what an i'm
portant part bearings play in the con-
tinuod good service he is asking Of his
machine.
I'm a vague sort Of way he realizes
that a motor car is supposed 20 have
hearings somewhere in its makeup
but he doesn't concern himself with
their operation. There is, of course.
q logical reason for this. Location of
the bearings has great deal to do
With this attitude on his part as well
as continued service he is getting
your modern motorist, not Of g
mechanical turn of mind, Is pleased
to let well enough alone. Hence un-
less his ear goes to the garage for eX-
tensive repairs the bearings are very
likely not to get fabricated from the

into something or has an accident that
makes overhauling necessary.

UnlUritteR Rules for
Motor Car Drivers

Here are a few rules which should
be unwrltten laws for every motor
list.
Never shout in disapnroval 70 q
pedestrian or the occupants Of an
other car who may have offended you
probably unintentionaly
In driving in town remember that
II YOU are travelling slowly YOU should
be as near the curb to your right as
possible. Fast-moying vehicles nave
the right Of way to your left.
In passing a car, do not cut IN I'M
mediately. Give the driver passed a
chance to fan in behind you without
applying his brakes.
Never crowd another car towards
the curb or into traffic
If you intend to slow down because
of delay in traffic or for any other
reason, hold up your right hand so
those in your rear may know OF the
stop. This will save them scorching
their tires and may save YOU from q
buckled fender If the pursuing driver
hasn't time or warning enough TO ap-
ply his brakes in time
Never reverse against the general
direction Of traffic without first warm
inc those who may be back of you.
il you see anything wrong with
the ear OF another drlver-tor IN
stance. il the lights have gone out
warn him.
The horn is a warning signal, not q
plaything or the part Of wonder
land" entertainment Use It sparingly
in town. A quick push Of the button
ar bulh is enough TO warn pedestrians
or other drivers. Never crawl up 10
pedestrian and then frighten him to
death with n terrifying blast that
could be heard several blocks Be-
sides being unnecessary, II usually
leaves the pedestrian hating every
automobile driver that ever lived and
preiudlces him against the entire in
dustry
Never dash through q crossing.
Give tho pedestrians a chance. Usual
Is they are as much in hurry as you
are and certainly are as much en-
titled TO use Of the crossing as YOU
In the country remember that the
automobile and the horse-drawn
vehicle have equal rights 10 tho road
Remember that your presence In q
motor car doesn't give you the righ'
20 Insult persons on tue lo1u. So 70
scream at residents along The high-
way.
Slow down when you meet another
vehicle. II often will save yourself in
jury. A skid may cause injury to all
concerned.
As - town, never cut off a vehicle
YOU have passed.
Never crowd another off the road
Use your horn mt curves and "a

ROUGH TREADS SHOW
GAIN WHILE NEW
TIRES ARE POPULAR

Among the outstanding tire changes
of the year have been the eroWinE
popularity and increasing variety OF
rough treads. Many new patterns OF
anti-skid shoes have been put upon
the market and have been accepted
with favor by the motoring pubic
which Is apparently becoming more
and more cautious i'm guarding against
skidding both by choosing rough tires
and by carryine the ever valuable tire
chains
Innovations in tires have also made
their apBparancc. one of these ~ q
detachable or separate tread, so ar
ranged that when ii has been put on
the body of the tire and the tune IN
flated IL practically forms one piece
with the body
II Is claimed for this device that 1t
cuts tire cost about In hall, because
the separate tread can he renewed az
any time. and. as 1T IS the part 10
receive nearly all OF the wear ana tear
the body Of the tire will suffice WITH
out renewal In the ordinary ire OF
course when the tread IS worn OUT
or badly injured the entire shoe must
be thrown away.
Another of the seasons tire novel
ties is o. combination pneumatic ana
cushion tire. i'm which the tread Is
much quicker than that ordinarily
used. and is so cut and patterned as 10
present sharp edges of contact IN any
direction. Ii rs said this form COM
bines the riding qualities Of the pneu-
matte with many of the ADVANTAGES
of the cushion tire, such as long ne

you may injure the occupants or
cause the driver TO lose control; be-
sides, it is mean and cowardly. Don't

Impress this upon your mind-left

city Authorities.
The city vehicles are probably thu
most fragrant yiolators of the laws
and ordinances The city can set q
good example by compelling drivers
of city vehicles to observe laws ano
ordinances.
Clean streets will prevent skiddinf
and possible accidents.
Holes in the streets cause many ae-
cldents
Early flushing Of the streets causes
many accidents.
Barbados on closed streets without
proper lighting at night have also
caused many accidents.

Don't cross blind streets without
slowing down and ringing your bell
Automobiles. especially strangers in
the city, do not see the car tracks UNI
iii upon them
Don't take it for granted that an
automobile will get across the track
before you reach that point lie may
stall his engine.
Don't pass an automobile on a mar
row street too fast The machine may
skid IN front of or into your car.
General Public.
This can be summed UP in one
word, cooperation That is the word
cooperation, between all users of tho
street ana highways. The automobiles
are willing and eager to do then

HEAD OF L0ZIER FIRM
SEES BIG YEAR AHEAD

Speaking for the LoIier company, i
want to say that orders on our books
for 1914 delivery already assure us
of the greatest years IN our history.
Heretofore the output of the two Lo-
zler factories in a single year has
never exceeded loo ears. For dellV-
erv before the first Of June, our deal
ers have contracted for over $500
cars This certainly does not indicate
that business IS Stacking up.
AS a single instance Of increased
business I'm the face Of discouraginB
rumors. the Dominion Of Canada -
n striking example Last season there
were only two Lozier dealers in Cam
ada This year we have twenty-five
dealers and preliminary orders for
500 cars for Canadian distribution.
And this was accomplished in the face
0f what is claimed 10 be the greatest
financial depression in years In Can
ada
To meet the increased business for
1914 our production schedule has been
increased enormously. With added
facilities AT our Detroit and Pittsburgh
factories, 1t is very probable that boln
factories viii be working night ana
day 20 meet the rush for spring de-
liyeries. We will employ many more
men than last year and indications
are that every Detroit automobile rae
tory will also increase s. WORKING
forces.
