MEXICO TO Be ON
BIG -FOUR ROUTE
Mexico has Double Chance to be on
the Interstate Big Four Route.
Says Graham.

Mexico wants to be OH the Missouri
division of the Big -Four Route. The
Big -Four Route enters Missouri at
Louisiana, crossing the Mississippi
there, by a vote Of the Vice Presidents
Of the Illinois Division. From Louis
lana, it goes to Kansas City via
Brookheld, LacIede, Meadville, Wheel
ing, CEilicothe, Utica, Ludlow, Ply
moth, Braymer, Cowgirl, Polo, Law
son, Excelsior Springs and Liberty to
Kansas City.
The exact location Of the route be-
tween Louisiana and Brookfeld has
not been fully decided. President
Harry W. Graham, Of the Missouri
Division Of the Big -Four Route, has
called a meeting of the delegates from
towns situated on the three proposed
routes, to be held at Brookfield Sept
ember z, 1915 at 1900 p. m. To get
the highway through Audrain a plan
must be followed similar 70 that pro
posed by Col. Buffum in his open let
ter to this County which was publish
ed in the Ledger recently.
The three proposed routes r az
follows:
Route No. l.. From Louisiana to
Bowling Green, Curryville, vandalia,
Mexico, Centralia, Moberly, Macon,
and Bucklin to Brookield.
Route No. 2. From Louisiana to
Frankford, New London, Hannibal,
Monroe City, Shelbina, Clarence, Ma
con and Bucklin to Brookfeld.
Route No. 8. From Louisiana over
route No. 1 as above mentioned to
Moberly, thence to Huntsville Sails
bury and Marceline to Brookfield.
Mexico has double chance at this.
Her new road grader and permanent
road force ought to have weight in
deciding this trail,

A SPLENDID CITIZEN.
fCentraIia Courier.l

lONAlNh aAAa OodttCAsJ
While in Mexico the other morning
we met Jas. H. Sallee going to his
store. In Mexico it is said that when
Mr.. Sallee goes to work in the norm
ing folks set their watches at $3.50
o'clock, so regularly are the business
habits of this fine man. As he passed
on, we remarked to those about us
upon the years we had known Mr.. Sal
lee and Of the excellence Of his char
acter and the worth of his fair name.
Our appreciation of this splendid cit
izen found an instantaneous and en-
thusiastic response from each man in
the group. "We have no better men
than Jim," said one, while another
told Of his influence, and still another
spoke about his integrity. We do not
presume to know how much Of this
worlds goods Jim Sallee can call his
own, but we do know that he is one Of
Audrain's richest men in character
and good name, and you will recall
that Solomon said a good name was
more desirable than great riches
Mexico has many strong dependable
splendid men of great moral worth
and possessing these she is richer
than Golconda's mines, regardless Of
whether she ever has money enough
to light her streets or not. The wealth
of a town consists Of her citizens, ant
not in the abundanance Of the mater
ial things it may possess.

similar to that recent conducted
for one week in Sioux Git, and pat-
termed after the short courses given
by the University OF N nnes ia and
the universities of other st ties during
the past year or two.
1T is recognized that the methods
of retailers are gradually changing
in harmony with general advance
ment in all lines of business, and the
need for better methods in conduct
ing retail business is realized by
the best class of dealers everywhere
in the country. In discussing the
approaching convention, n. S. Tyler,
of Sioux Falls, secretary of the asso-
citation said:
Some people have the idea that
gatherings and conventions of retail
merchants are held for the purpose
of agreeing on prices and other agree
ments which affect the consumer in
general, but this is not the case. The
matter OF uniform price of merchan-
disc will probably not be mentioned
during the entire three days session
but instead methods viii be discussed
that will help the merchants bbuy
for less and to show them how it is
possible to reduce the cost of doing
business. We nave secured experts
10 lecture on many lines affecting
the interests of South Dakota mer-
| chants. Some of these men have
spoken at universities and others
made addresses at the short course
held in Sioux ity."
No pains or expense are being
spared to make the coming conven
ton the greatest and most successful
ever held in the state, and Siou,
Falls will entertain large number
| of visitors during the three days
While the program has not been com
pleted, assurances have been receiv
ed for a number of prominent speak
ers that they Will be present ant
