BIG FOUR ROUTE is
NO LONGER THIS WAY

The Big Four Route the automo-
bile trail, SO far as Mexico and Aud
rain county is concerned, exists no
longer. But the Golden Belt Trail
from the Pacific Ocean will be built
in a day and Mexico will be n of the
principal stopping places on it.
Owing to a rather warm fight for
the location of the Big Four Route
across Illinois and the success Of the
Nation delegation over that from
Whitehall, the route has been chang
ed to cross the river at Hannibal and
not at Louisiana, as contemplated.
Under those conditions the road pass
es through Brookfeld instead Of this
city.

Mr.. Strother often drove through
