ROOSTER SPUR POISONS
]. h. LANE OF THIS CITY

j. H. Lane, Of this city, is wearing
his right arm in a sling and has his
wrist swathed in bandages as the re-
suit of a billigegaut rooster in his
chicken yard. Mr.. Lane was spurred
by the rooster several days ago and
thought nothing of it until sometime
later when it began to pain him and
swell. Blood-poisoning developed and
now he is without the use of the arm
and will be for several days. We are
glad to state no serious results are
expected.
F. c. Stoltz, a well known travelling
man of this city, is suffering from a
hornet sting that practically put one
his arms out of use. The wound
has swollen to large proportions. but
is now reducing and apparently he
will suffer no further painful eff
fects. His friends trust he win not be
Inconvenience any longer.
These stories are true and are not
nature fakes.

started from Santa Fe in two canoes
down Salt River as Ear as New London
and back the same way, making a

The current in the river was not
very swift in the river and most OF

was not any harder TO make than the
down stream trip. Joe Luckie who

ABOUT EARLY AUDRAIN

The early settlers Of Audrain coun-
ty were principally from Kentucky,
Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee. They built small cabins in
the timber, on the water courses, and
devoted themselves to hunting trap
ping and fishing. Game was abund-
ant, and hunting not only an exciting
pastime, but a remunerative occu-
patton, and pleasure and profit were
combined in its pursuit. The game
consisted of deer, elk, wolves, rae
coons, wild turkey and a few bears
and panthers. The buffaloes had al
ready taken their departure to the
prairies of the distant West. In fact,
the French and Spanish had, in a
measure, driven them away before the
Americans began to settle in the pres
ent limits of Missouri, and but few
Of those animals were to be found in
this state after 1900. In early times
there was a salt lick in Dog Prairie,

quented by buffaloes as well as deer
and other wild animals; but there is
no authentic account of any buffaloes
having been seer there after 1900, ex-
cept an old one and its calf that were
killed at that place about 1916. They
had evidently strayed away from the
herd and got lost.

GOOD BUSINESS.

THE head Of a great national indus
try - a veritable live wire - remark
ed recently that he could have a pa
mic in his business any time he want
ed it.
All he had to do was to let up driv-
ing and begin to talk hard times.
But instead of doing this, he in
creases his advertising when things
look squalIy and drives his statesmen
harder.
And good times or bad, there has
never been a year that his business
has failed to go ahead and yield a
handsome profit.
This man incidentally practically
does all his advertising in the local
newspapers, figuring wisely that by
making sales for the distributors Of
his goods, he is paving the way for
his own statesmen to get more orders.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1916-07-27

ing that it was almost impossible to
raise sheep or other domestic ami
n ais, and there being no inducements
for and but hunters and trappers to
locate in that region, the larger por-
ton of the land in Audrain county
remained unoccupied and in possess
sion of the government until 1854,
when it was rapidly entered at twelve
and a half cents per acre, under the
Graduation Act" Citizens of other
c, unties then 1ocked to Audrain, en-
tered homesteads and erected cabins,
many of which are still standing on
tt beautiful prairies, but most of
them have given place to neat frame
and brick farm houses.
The streams of this county are all
small, and all except one or two head
near its center. Salt river is the
principal one, and is merely a prairie
brook, distinguished by the title of
river probably because of its associa-
ton with streams of much smaller
dimensions. The people supply them
selves and their stock with water by
digging cisterns and ponds, and ex-
cept in extremely dry seasons they
have all they require. The streams
are fed by living springs, and flow
during the entire year, affording
abundant water for mills and manu-
featuring purposes.

STATISTICS.

AN advertising expert who made
an investigation regarding what class
Of consumers were the greatest pur-
ehasers Of goods discovered that the
women buy ass per cent Of the mer-
chandise for the family use and have
an important voice in the purchase
Of % per cent Of the remainder. This
total Of II per cent comedies with the
department store investigation which
showed so per cent Of purchases in
department stores were made by
women. The investigation further
showed that women buy 11.2 per cent
Of mems clothing and they help the
men buy 22.9 per cent. This proves
that women are responsible directly,
for 50 PR cent Of mems clothing pur-
chases.
A special test was also made among
intelligent women Of the country and
pains were taken not to get their
opinion but their practice Of trading
and the following were found to be
the main factors in their decision Of
where to buy: REPUTATION,
QUALITY, ECONOMY, CLEANLI-
NESS, HEALTHFULNESS Eff
CIENCY, DURABILITY, MODERN
NESS, COURTESY and GUARAN-
TEE. This shows the ten appeals
which rank highest with ONE and
to advertisers in preparing their news
paper copy as well as conducting their
stores.
To advertise successfully one must
put some time and thought on the
preparation of their copy. Just as
you have studied the proper method
of approaching customers just so you
must apply that method i~ntelligeutly
in your printed approach to him.
Haphazard business plans just as
haphazard advertising cannot sue
coed. To get results you must apply
your intelligence and take advantage
of those investigators who are aiding
in paving the way for better and more
efficient business.

JUDGE FRY MEETS THE
DEUTSCHLAND CREW

Judge W. w. Fry, Jr, who has just
returned from attending the National
EIks' Convention in Baltimore, met
the Captain and rew Of the Deutsch-
land. the famous merchantmen which
recently crossed the Atlantic. In his
talk with one Of the Q he asked
the boy, for a number Of them were
under twenty, why he vas not in the
army. The youth responded in broken
English that he had a brother killed
in the war, another in the German
army and he figured shipping as a
sailor on the merchant submarine was
far safer. He also said he was glad
to be in this country, as everything
abroad was in such terrible condition.
Mr.. Fry saw the Deutschland at an
ehor, though he could not approach
near the ship as ii vas closely guard
ed.
While in Washington, in company
with Postmaster w, R. Jackson and
wife, he attended n Of Speaker
Champ Clark's regular weekly lunch
cons at which Mr.. Clark ~entertains
statesmen.
Mr.. Fry had a delightful trip and
reports that he did not meet with any
sharks as the water at Atlantic City
was too cold for bathing when he was
there.
Mr.. Fry says it is noticeable all
over the east that the sentiment for
is growing stronger and there
has been an especial turn toward him
during the past two weeks. Those
who seem to know in that section
s-T he will beat Hughes.
Mr.. Fry also saw a large number
of informed German and Austrian
ships in the bay at Baltimore. Steam
is kept up on these vessels because
of the insurance laws.
