his home Tuesday night near Prairie
View Church, seven miles southwest
of Mexico, was buried Wednesday in
the Mexico cemetery. Mr.. Moore was
born August 10, 1866, in Lawrence
county, Penn, where he lived until he
was grown In 1890 he moved with
his parents to Washington, Iowa. In
the fall of 1908, with his brother, N.
F. Moore, and sister, Mrs. Scott
Kerr, he bought the l.. j. Farrah farm
seven miles southwest Of Mexico
where he lived until his death. As a
young man he became member of
the Presbyterian Church and was
known all his life as forceful and
consistent Christian man. He was a
good neighbor and kind and good
friend to those who came in touch
with him. He was progressive far
mer and student of all the modern
ideas of advanced agriculture and
helped to make the farm where he
lived one of the best in that part of
Audrain county.
His death is the first in a family of
eight children. His father and mother
died number of years ago. The fol-
lowing brothers and sisters survive
him: Mrs. Scott Kerr and N. F. Moore

MAJOR AND DUNNt
SPOKE At NIGHT

Springfield, Mo-, Oct. 7. - At the
night meeting Of the grand opening
rally of the Missouri Democratic
campaign here last night, Governors
Elliott W. Major of Missouri and
Dunno, of Illinois were the speak
ers. They addressed packed house
and many were standing on the out
side.
After detailing and lauding the ac-
complishments Of the National Ad-
ministration Gov. Major turned his
attention to the work of the Demo-
cratic party in Missouri, which is a
record of fulfillment of a platform
pledges calling for better roads, bet
ter schools, better agriculture and
better community life.
He called attention to the fact that
in 1918 approximately s8,0O0,000 was
spent in improving state highways
and by authority of the inter-county-
seat law thousands of dollars drag
ging more than ten thousand miles
of dirt roads. During the nine
months of 1914 about $4,000 was
spent upon public roads he said, an
| increase Of $5S1 900 over the last
year of the Hadley administration.
AS to the school betterment, he cit
ed the Carter-Brydon law providing
for special state aid for weak rural
school districts by insuring an eight
months school term through supply
ing funds to make up any deficit aris
ing from insufficient funds from the
district apportionment. The Wilson,
Roberts law provided for the estab-
lishment of proper high school facil-
tiles in rural communities unable to
finance the higher educational sys-
TEN.
Governor Major complimented the
State Board of Agriculture on its
campaign to develop the systematic
| tilling of lands and also to increase
the acreage of the state. Scientific
farming in Missouri has received
great impetus in the last year and
the farmers have been greatly bene-
fitted by the help of the agricultural
department.
Rural Community life has been ele-
waited, he said, by the betterment OF
farm life and schools and marked
sympathy has been developed be-
, tween the farmer and the merchants
of the rural towns. This has increas
ed the interest in agricultural pur
suit he said by making country life
, more attractive and providing th'
farmers and their families witt
many of the luxuries heretofore en-
joyed only by their city cousins.
Governor Dunno of Illinois afte
an exhaustive review of the accom-
plishments of the Democratic admin
, istration under President Wilsoi
:, closed his speech as follows

"As soon as the conditions in the
South, caused by the failure of the
cotton crop, improve sufficiently to
Justify it, we will open our Mexico
factory even better than it has been
in the past" Mr.. Rand, of the Inter
national Shoe CO., made the above
statement to E. d. Graham, of this
city, who called upon him Saturday
as a representative Of the Mexico
Commercial Club regarding the clos
ing of the local shoe factory Novem-
ber IS.
Mr.. Graham said Mr.. Rand told him
that the South not only owed his con-
Germ about $5,OOO,OOO but they could
buy nothing because of the war, max
ing it impossible to sell the cotton
abroad. Mr.. Rand assured him there
was no purpose of dismantling the To-
cal factory and that when they were
ready to open there would be no trou-
bic to secure the same good labor as
in the past. "We treat our employees
So" said he, "that they are always
glad to return to us when we OPEN"
Mr.. Graham was pleased with his
reception from Mr.. Rand and said his
talk was most encouraging.

ROUNDUP WEEK HAS
MANY BIG FEATURES
United States Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston May Be One of the
Speakers.
FEATURE FOR SCHOOLS
Competition in Districts and Over
Entire County for Various
Schools.

Roundup Week, the first week in
November, promises to be one of the
greatest fall affairs ever held in this
city. d. H. Doane, head of the Farm
Advisor Department of the State
was in this city Tuesday evening,
and explained to q local committee
fully the many interesting educa-
tional features of Roundup Week
and how to arrange program. He
stated it was barely possible we
could secure United States Secre-
tary of Agriculture Houston for
one of the speakers as he expressed
desire to witness a Roundup
Week meeting.
Farmer. Rusk, and County Su-
perintendent Of Schools W. C. john
son are arranging for contests in
every school in the county in which
both boys and girls will take part.
The winners of these contests will
be given scholarships and will attend
Round Up Week in Mexico with all
expenses paid and will compete here
for a county prize. AS the week
with its demonstrations, lectures and
discussions is first of all educational,
this scholarship plan is sure to meet
with splendid encouragement all
over the county.
The Poultry men of the county are
to hold an exhibit in connection with
the week and will have several ses-
sions for speaking and general dis
russion. This show will be under the
auspices of the Audrain County
Branch of the State Poultry Assn.
Meetings of the Doctors,
Road 0verseers, Dairy Interests,
School Boards and Teachers, Wom-
ems Home Economic Clubs, and 9TH
er organizations will be held besides
Better Baby Contest along the
most approved lines with an expert
Judge, the winner to be entered in
the State contest in Columbia.
The Judging of exhibits will be
along the line of demonstrations.
For instance: when the butter en-
tries are judged the person in charge
will explain why the winner was
first and why the other entries were
inferior. The same plan will be fol
lowed in every exhibit. In the Baby
Contest the Judge will give each par
ent her child's scorecard so if the
child has any defect she may know
it and have it corrected now rather
than have it develop into something
! serious later in life. The entire plar
of the week is to educate the people
for improved conditions of every
kind.
The week will start Monday nigh
with an illustrated lecture. All Of th'
demonstrations, lectures and exhib
its will be free and some of the bes
talent in the West will take part il
the program.
In the mornings will be demonstra
tions and short general meeting
In the afternoons will be sectlona
meetings in which local citizens vii
lead the discussions of various phas
es of farming with chairman VIII
is an expert on this topic presiding
, at the meeting.
The evenings will be consume
with illustrated lectures. The Edln

probably furnish the music.

Buffum Urges Road Machinery Co.
State Highway Commissioner Frank
Buffum, of Louisiana, who was in shis
city Tuesday, stated to Ledger rep
resentative that he wanted to see a
Road Machinery Co. organized here
at once and he would practically guar
antee it would not cost a member
cent. Further than that, he said it
would do more for better roads in Au-
drain than any move made so far.
The plan of Mr.. Buffum is that go
men underwrite 100000 expendi-
ture for road machinery. When the ma
chinery arrives it will be rented to
property owners who desire good
road in front of their farms. The rent
al will pay for the machine and those
who underworld the purchase will not
be out cent and will have done
great work for the county roads.
The equipment he contemplates con
sists of a large traction engine, three
graders to be used tandem, scarifi-
er, roofing plow, hill cutter and
culvert machinery. He says the pur-
chase of such machine will eventual
| ly lead to their being bought in all
parts of the County.

FRESH AID TO GERMANS
Says Aeroplanes Saw Error in Ger
man Tactics and Saved City of
Paris.

Paris, Oct. There is little change
at the front, though the battle
grows more and more violent. The
British losses, according to cores
pondent at the front, have been com
paratively light of late. An Athens
dispatch received from the Havas ag-
ency says refugees from Bremati, in
Epirus, European Turkey, report the
MosIems in Albania are pillaging and
burning Christian villages.
Says Planes Saved Paris.
London, Oct. THE Daily Mail
correspondent in France gives a new
version of the reason for the German
retreat from Paris. He says that the
moment General Joffre, the French
commander-in-chief decided to ar
rest his retreat and face the Ger
mans on the Marne, the French Cen
eral, Foch, who was retiring south
from Chalons, discovered by an aero
plane reconnaissance that two Ger
man armies had failed to make a juno
tion and had left a considerable gap
in the neighborhood of Vity-le-Fran-
cois.
General Foch thrust large wedge
of men supported by artillery into
this gap and had them well establish
ed before the Germans discovered
their oversight with the result that
there was German panic and re-
treat in which the Germans suffered
very heavily.
