In your issue Of the 21st inst, ]
note that you print an interview fror1
Mr.. W. w. Mundy of the firm Of
Powell & Mundy, taken from the
National Live Stock Reporter, in
which Mr.. Mundy is reported as MAX
ing this statement: "In the course
of the last two years many silos have
been erected, and / want to tell you
that it's a mighty favorable sign.
think the silo is the salvation of the
modern feeder, and why this hasn'l
been discovered long ago am
at loss to explain"
Having erected and used the first
silo in Audrain county, (outside the
corporate limits of Mexico), at tbs
request of the senior editor of your
paper for my impressions as to the
value and utility of the silo, stated
among other things the following
which was published in the Daily
Ledger of June 3Oth, 1911.
Summing up my conclusion after
one years experience, l think thai
the silo can truly be called the Farm
er's Friend and Money-Maker, ant
that within very few years ever,
good farmer and stockman in thi,
county will have silo standing il
his barn lot or feed lot. They arr
bound to take hold of a thing tina
will make them money"

WHEN the present city admins
tration took charge of Mexico they
inherited a debt of $4,000 from the
previous administration as well as
the necessity of borrowing the same
amount at once TO continue paying
bills as the treasury was practically
empty. Mayor Dry stated then as
soon as he could familiarize himself
with conditions sufficiently to justify
it he would make every effort TO
lower the expense Of the city govern
ment without interfering with its eff
ficiency. At this time Mayor Dry is
considering a vehicle tax as well as
some other measures that will in
crease the city revenue and will in no
way be considered hardship. He is
giving the question careful consider
alton and states the finances of Mex
leo are in such a shape as to cause
no one anxiety concerning revenue,
With the stoppage Of a number OF
leaks and an increase Of revenue from
! legitimate sources the financial con-
ditions of this city will be as good as
ever. Mayor Dry is trying to raise
the efficiency of the City Government
to the highest standard without any
increase in the expense.

quiry from Senator Stone for infor-
nation as a result of complaints
made in the press and in letters from
various parts of the country charg-
ing the Washington Government
with unfairness to Germany and
Austria it also is intended as a pro-
nouncement of policy nsome ques-
tions of neutrality previously unex-
planned.
The letter embodied the Following
facts:
| It is business of Germany, not
! United States to keep contraband
from reaching allies.
The markets of United States are
open to all belligerents on equal
terms.
The request of Canada to ship war
material across Alaska was refused.
The search of American ships on
high seas by French cruiser and "an-
other ally" was protested.
Germany acquiesced in United
States letting war material go to al
lies.
Britain and Japan withdrew war
ships off American ports after pro-
test.
The firm stand for freedom of
trade in conditional contraband to
Germany if not intended for military

If you want "Spot in the Sun
you can find perfectly lovely one
most anywhere in Florida.
"Acres of Sunshine" is sometimes
term applied to Florida lands. But
there is something better than mere
sunshine on Florida land. There is
wealth in the soil, and thousands of
energetic tillers of those "acres If
sunshine" have for years quietly been
getting their share of this wealth.
Now the entire country is awakened
to the possibilities of homeseekers, all
anxious to settle in this land of
health, wealth and happiness.
The orange is the chief product of
the state, the latest statistics show
ing an annual production of $4,000
crates and 74,375 crates of grape
fruit.
Up to few years ago, Florida
was thought to be fitted only for or
anges, but this is not true. In Flor
ida soil, you can raise anything that
grows with the proper sort of treat
ment: Oranges, grapefruit, lemons,
pine apples, tangerines, kumquots,
guavas, peppers, cabbage, potatoes,
yams, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes
corn, caulifower, lettuce strawber-
ries, pecanss in fact, anything you
want.
$4,000 quarts of Strawberries were
shipped out of one little station

ary.
$4,000 crates of cucumbers were
shipped out of way Willis

car, loads of water melons were ship.
