400 BREAKS AS FAR AS MoBERLY

The sleet and snow in the last few
days has put the Southwestern Tele-
phone and Telegraph wires between
Mexico and Moberly out of service.
Wires are down all over Missouri but
this is the worst affected district in
u vicinity. Mexico has only a toll
line west as far as Centralia; east as
far as Louisiana, and south to Full
ton.
An inspector reported eoyer four
hundred breaks in the six wires of the
Southwestern between Centralia and
Moberly. The American Telegraph
and Telephone Co., whose wires run
on the same poles report 1877 breaks
Between Mexico and Centralia over
forty breaks were reported.
The Western Union as well as the
other companies have gotten at
least one through circuit in working
order. But the damage will take the

KEEP OUT. BRYAN SAYS.

Miami, Fla, Jan. 14.-William J.
Bryan, discussing the massacre in
Mexico, said;
"The demand for Intervention in
Mexico is in harmony with the gem
eral policy pursued by the jingoes.
They want war with somebody, and
seize upon the first excuse to call for
war.
II heartily commend the stand the
President is reported to have taken
against Intervention. / believe that
in taking this position he represents
the views of a large majority Of the
American people. Cararnza has been
recognized and will doubtless do his
best to a~pprehend and punish those
guilty Of numbering Americans and
other foreigners.
ssThere is no need for intervention
and this country cannot intervene
without losing all that has been gained
in Latin-America the last half CEN
fury. If Intervention was entered
upon the jingoes, who are now de-
handing it, would demand annexation
and we would be under suspicion until
our forces we're withdrawn"

WATCH YOUR sNEEzEv
Is POPULAR WARNING


Watch your sneeze.
Also dodge when anyone else
s~neezes.
Be particular whom you kiss
1t has been suggested that a moro
torinm of at least so days be called
on this popular indoor winter past
time.
These, and a few other timely sug-
gestions, are issued by the department
of Preventive Medicine at Missouri
University as health guards against
grippe.
Symptoms are those Of a sever
cold with more or less sore throat.
cough, pains in the head and about
the body. In some cases the symp-
toms n quite persistent.
1t seems certain that the great ma
jority, at least, Of these cases are not
true grippe. Some psychologists
have reported finding S~treptococcus
in the throat and not the bacillus
which causes grippe. Nevertheless,
the prevention is exactly the same
for such a cast as for the true grippe.
Grippe is Contagious.
The disease is acutely contagious.
contagion takes place most readily
by direct contact. The more intimate
and prolonged this contact, the great
er the danger of contagion. Persons
should avoid crowds as much as pos
sible, and If II is necessity to be with
those suffering from the symptoms
which have been described, they
should insist as far as possible upon
such persons keeping at a respectful
distance. While coughing or sneez-
ing, the person afflicted should keep
the mouth and nose covered with a
handkerchief. Kissing, especially
should be avoided. The habit which
many mothers have Of blowing the
noses Of a number Of children in the
same handkerchief should not be
practiced.
There is no specific which will pre-
I
vent this cold. The best methods Of
prevention are a good diet, consist
ing Of nutritious, but light, foods
the use of the cold bath daily, sleep
ing with an abundance Of fresh all
and the avoidance of excuses Of all
kinds. Especially to be avoided Is
prolonged, o~verheating in close, stuff
fly rooms and railroad trains.

DANIEL BOONE TRAIL"
TO PASS THROUGH HERE?

Mexico is offered an opportunity
for a place on a great motor road
from St. Paul, Mimi, to st. Louis.
The road is known as the "Daniel
Boone Trail and has already been
completed as far as Des Moines, Ia.
The present plan as outlined by the
|ottumwa, Ia, Commercial Association
is to extend the trail to st. Louis.
Mexico is named in the tentative plan
Of extension.
In a letter TO the Ledger asking
that publicity be given the movement
the following is said concerning the
trail;
AT a meeting held at IT. Dodge,
la, on December 81, there was or
gained a new north and south over-
land highway, known as the Daniel
Boone Trail The organization per-
|fected at that meeting overs q line
from st. Paul to Des Moines, includ-
ing such cities as st. Peters, Man
kato, Blue Earth, Mimi, AlgOna, Fl.
Dodge, Boone, and Des Moines, Iowa.
at is the desire and intention Of
the officers Of the Daniel Boone
Trail" to continue their highway
south from Des Moines to St. Louis,
and has requested US to get in touch
with the various cities between Des
Moines and St. Louis, with the view
of ascertaining whether there is any
interest Or desire on the part of the
citizens of the towns along this pro-
posed trail, for the highway.
@We are writing you to ascertain
whether your city is interested in this
route, and is so, will you agree TO have
your city represented at a meeting
to be held, place and date of meeting
to be selected later, for the purpose Of
continuing the Daniel Boone Trail
from Des Moines to st. Louis. The
tentative route for this trail, which
we have in mind, after leaving Des
Moines, includes Prairie City, Mon
roe, Pella, oskaloosa, Fremont, OF
- Df-1-GnII To Taunau-
ter, Kirksville, La Plata, Macon,
Moberly, Mexico, Fulton, st. Charles
and st. Louis. Missouri.
"We believe this highway can be
secured for the cities as outlined in
this letter, provided the citizens Of
these various communities show, by
their interest, that they realize the
value Of having this trail pass through
their town."

FORMER MEXICO MINISTER
ACCUSES MOVIE PLAYERS

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. i4.-As a
Of the bitter and widespread
controversy over whether movie folk
are moral or immoral as a rule, the
Southland-the center Of the
motion picture industry Of the world
lis being stirred up in a way II was
never stirred before,
Ministers, laymen, judges, motion
picture heads, movie stars, legitimate
stage people and others have become
embroiled in argument which now
seems likely to start such an investi-
cation Of morals as has never before
been launched in any industry.
Started several days ago by a SER
mon of the Rev. Charles G. Selecman
Of Trinity auditorium, the wordy
storm is hourly becoming more SER
ious. DR.. Selecman was pastor Of the
Methodist church in Mexico, Mo-, for
several years.
Doctor Selecman has announced
that his attack is not on motion pic
ture stars nor on the industry, which
he wants to boost. He says he is
raising his voice in defense Of the in
~nocent, though perhaps, foolish girls
who have to pay for the favor Of
some director or their assistants.
Added to Doctor Selecman's asser-
tions are those Of Superior Judge
Charles Monroe, made in deciding -
divorce action.
IT do not know what other people
may Think he said, "but | find that
there are no end of divorce cases on
account Of the motion picture bus
mess"
In defense of the industry and the
morals Of its folk, e. D. Horkheimer,
secretary of the Balboa Amusement
Producing Company, asserts that s'be-
cause some young women who are
Itinerary live under immoral condi-
ltions, does not justify anyone in put
ting a stigma on the rank and file
Of moving picture people,
He invited Doctor Selecman and
others to investigate conditions in his
plant, one of the largest in the coun-
try, and advises the minister not to
put all motion picture companies in
a common class in regard to morals
because a few small companies have
gained a bad name morally.

BAPTIsTs CAM
PAIGN TO TAKE FIVE YEARS

The plans Missouri Baptists have
in process for the raising Of money
for their educational and philanth-
ropic proteges and for the expansion
of their work in the mission field
which includes a s250,000 increase in
the endowment Of Hardin College,
will take five years to complete and
the sum has been increased from the
million dollars first announced to
$1,575,ooo.
Stephens College, Columbia, and
Hardin College, Mexico, each will re-
ceive $250,000. William Jewell Col
|lege at Liberty is to receive the gross
sum Of 100000; LAGRANGE College
at LAGRANGE is to get 100000 and
Southwest Baptist College at Boil
ivar and Lexington Ladies College at
Lexington are each to receive $780,
900 and Will Mayfield College at
Marble Hill is to receive 100000.
The executive committe Of the
General Baptist Association Of Mis-
souri,, which is composed Of thirty
members, and Of which e. W. Steph-
ems, Of Columbia, is the chairman. Az
the meeting Monday in Kansas City
received representatives Of the Bap-
tist schools in the state. The com
mittee met Tuesday and considered
the philanthropic institutions and
mission work.
As ncern the work of the mis-
sions, the state was divided into three
sections and the work in these diff
erent sections will be done under the
supervision of DIR. c. L. West, Of Kan.
sas City, DR.. H. e. Truck, of st
Louis, and Rev. w. o. Anderson, Of
Springfield, who will work under the
direction of the Rev. Joe P. Jacobs
of Kansas City.
The plan for raising the money fol
the schools and philanthropic worE
Of the church are still In a tentative
stage but e. w. Stephens says th'
raising Of the money would be con
fined to the state Of Missouri and tina
a time space Of five years will b,
made. The work Of raising none!
will probably be under the direction
Of DR.. John s. Lyon, Of Holycke
Mass, field secretary Of the board o
