HOW LES L0wDER AIDED
PERSHING GET ADVANCE

Brigadier General John J. PERISH
ing, commanding the United States
forces seeking Villa in Mexico, won
some Of his most signal military
honors in the Philippine Islands, and
Less Lowder, Of this city, was present
and fought at the battle of Fort BAG.
olod, Pershing's greatest achievement
in the Pacific Islands. Mr.. Lowder
was in the army six years and for IS
months under General Pershing.
Pershing's career during the Phil
ippine uprisings, was one Of contin-
ued brilliancy. He reduced 10 native
forts and won numerous victories
against great odds He first distin-
guished himself as a Captain In .he
Fifteenth Cavalry. stationed On the
island Of Mindanao, by leading nu-
merous expeditions against the Moros.
For three months the dispatches re-
garding his work were simply a re-
eital Of victories against a foe with
whom it was unusually hard to deal.
In 1911, when the Moros started a
new uprising, Gen. pershing was sent
against them again. Battles were
fought almost daily by his men
against superior forces. Losses were
heavy upon both sides, but be finally
disarmed the Moros. 1t was during
this campaign that he was made Gov
ernor Of Mindanao, in addition to re-
tanning his position in the army. He
continued to act as Governor until
1914 when he returned to the United
States.
In writing to q friend regarding
Of his engagements in the Phil
Pershing described the cap
ture Of Bacolod, where 100 Moros and
only three Americans were killed, and
in which fight Mr., Lowder took an
active part, as follows:
S0ur main obstacle in reaching the
fort was a ditch So feet wide and 40
feet deep. The fight began in a rain
storm and it was necessary to bridge
the ditch with fallen trees and Dam-
boo. Our lines advanced in the face
Of a heavy FIRE against two fronts Of
the fort, putting out Of business every
Moro that appeared.
When u lines were within fifty
the bridge was completed by
the men assigned to the work, the
trees having been cut previously and
hauled as near the ditch as possible.
minutes the assaulting infantry
swung across and clambered up near
y to the top Of the parapet. Here
were met with kampilan and kris
and a blody hand-to-hand fight oe-
;urred, n soldier against two Mo
'os. 1t was, al a whole, a scene never
% be forgotten

Discussed in New Light by a ST

The assistance Of the County Seat

ed to improve Ire section Of the high.
way between this city and Centralia.
Tie commission IS composed Of Geo
Pollard, C. b. Ellis and J. T. John
son. Ccntralia had Representatives
here and they win lend their assis-
tanee in improving the road.
One of the most practical and inter
exiting road talks ever delivered in
this city was heard Saturday noon al
the Commercial Club luncheon when
A. c. McKibbin, of Clayton, who
carried the st. LOUIS Road Bond Is
sue as well as the one in jefferson
County and has been aiding the move
ihen. in Wayne county, told those
gathered at the Hotel Hoxsey how to
geS better roads as well as what TO
meke them Of.
H. said that il had been proved in
other counties and would be true
here that it was cheaper to build
roads by bonds than unuder the pres
emf plan. The serial type Of bond in
many ways differs from the bonds
heretofore issued for road purposes,
has minimized the cost of building
good roads in Missouri. 1t makes
it possible to pay less taxes and
have better roads.
He said the macadam road was
entirely out Of date and that gravel
or oil are the character of roads
which should be built in Audrain.
The macadam road, according to
tests all over 'ae country, is a great
expense because the heavy motor car
traffic soon tears it TO pieces. Mr..
McKibben said a road properly
crowned and drained and then given
the right treatment Of oil made a
splendid highway. He said he wanted
to return to Mexico at some future
date and address a meeting of
farmers.
Those from out of town at the
meeting, besides Mr.. MeKibben were

and Edgar Lyons Of Centralia, State

SMALL CHANCE TO BEAT
ACCOUNT IN COLUMBIA

\ II is no unusual thing to hear Mes
leo merchants complain Of the larg,
credit accounts they are carrying o
their books and which, at times. force
them to embarrassing conditions il
lthe payment Of their own accounts
In some cases it keeps a merchani
from taking advantage Of the cash
discount offered by the wholesaler
Columbia merchants have solved thir
question Here is how II was done as
told 5y a Columbia business man.
A man is going TO move to Celnrn-
bia in the next few weeks from an
other Missouri towns where he owes
the merchants a little more than
$500 for grocery, clothing, furniture
and coal.
What chs ices viii this man have
of beating Columbia merchants
WHO trust him with groceries or meat
or clothing? He win find Columbia
an Improbable field, thinks c. o.
Haines, secretary Of the Retail Mer-
chants Association. The record Of
this man in the town he last lived
in is on file with the secretary and
available TO members Of the ~associa-
ton whenever the new citizen arrives
and seeks credit The business, the
habits the size Of the family, the
name Of each creditor who has unpaid
bills-in fact, the complete history Of
this nan who is going to move here
has preceded him to town and stands
ready to guard the Columbia merch-
ants against loss.
How Information is Gathered
Another man who recently moved
to Columbia can go to any store in
town and get credit without a mo-
ment's hesitation on the part Of the
merchants. There are on file with the
secretary Of the Merchants Associa-
ton three blanks filled out by three
merchants in a town where this man
formerly lived, reporting him prompt
in paying all his debts and recon-
mending him as a man Of character.
These are two examples Of the inside
workings of the credit bureau Of the
Columbia Retail Merchants Associa-
ton which has saved Columbia mer-
chants thousands of dollars loss from
bad accounts each year.
The bureau has two objects, aacord-
ing to Mr.. Hanes. They are to estab-
lish a credit rating to men who move
to Columbia and are rated good" but
are not known, and 10 protect the re-
tailers from the man who practices
in a community until his debts
force him to move.
If the credit bureau learns a fam
lily is making arrangements to move
from Columbia the fact is mentioned
in the daily bulletin issued by the
merchants association. This butcher
bill which the debtor was about to
forget in his hasty moving viii I'M
doubtedly make its appearance before
the furniture is packed into the car.
The association depends for its ef-
fciency upon the attention the mer-
chant-members give To reporting the
paying habits Of their customers, and
their reliance on the bureau to give
what Information IL has every time
charge account is opened with a
new man.
