GREAT MAKER OF POWDER

ed that 7. Coleman du Pont would be
good man for the Republicans to
nominate for the presidency, and to
the people Of Delaware, at least, the

what he wants to do and straightway
starts about It; the type Of man, fur

in Louisville, KY, December IL, 1863,
son of Bidermann du Point and Ellen

r. n. Arnold Writes the Ledger He
is Recovering His Health.

Mr.. r. r. Arnold's many friends
will be glad to know that he has n
tirely recovered his health, and is en-
joying a pleasant visit in the South.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold, when they left
Mexico early in the year, remained in
st. Louis for two or three weeks while
Mr.. Arnold was under the care Of a
specialist. They had intended to go
to Florida, but changed their minds
and went to Biloxi, Miss. The fol-
lowing letter from Mr.. Arnold will
be Of interest to his many friends in
this part of the state.
Biloxi, Miss.
March rs, 1916
r. M. White & Son,
Mexico, Mo.
Dear Sirs:
Fearing some of my friends may
think from my long absence from bust
ess | am a confirmed invalid, | want
to say / am now feeling about well,
and with the exception Of strength !
have my usual health again. | ex-
pect to be home by April 18th enjoy
ing my usual health, ready for BUSH
ness.
This is a great place for a ccnva-
lescent. The invigorating salt breeze
from the gulf and the rich odor from
the pine forests builds an invalid up
very fast. There are a number of
people here from the North, convalesc-
ing from pneumonia and grip. There
are a few good hotels and a number
of good residences along the beach
But back Of them is a dense forest Of
pine trees. No farming of any conse-
quence.
/ see from your paper, the CONNER
cial Club and our citizens Of Audrain
are yet discussing good roads. That
seems to be a subject Of interest
throughout the entire country. I hope
they will keep the matter before the
people until we are ready to build
them. Audrain county would be one
of the most attractive counties in the
state, if she had good roads. She now
has the land and its products, and thu
best people in the world,
With kindest regards to everybody
| am most truly yours,
R. R. ARNOLD.

These questions were put by Prof.

Usher's answers emphasized the lack
Of preparedness to meet the situation

Lack of Preparedness Instaneed.
Prof. Usher said the Government
had to buy even the autotrucks to
carry supplies to the soldiers when
the supplies should be bought and
shipped to the frontier.
Water bottles TO purify the bad

Prof. Usher. "Aeroplanes to scout
