The recently rejuvenated Boy Scout

endorsement of the Mexico Bust

iting the Trading Stamp in this State.
1t was also ordered that the State
Highway, east and west from this
city, be marked and the expenses paid
from the association funds.

LOTS FOR THE ENLARGEMENT
OF SOUTH SIDE SCHOOL
PLAYGROUND, PURCHASED
Property East Of Playground Bought
by the School Board
Thursday

At a meeting of the School BoarC
Thursday evening, $3.50 was appropri.
ated for the purchase of the three lots
lying directly east of the South Side
School. The new ground will be used
as an addition to the Fairgrounds,
which, since the enlargement of the
school building, have been very small,
and therefore too crowded for real
recreation.
The old orchard and brush will be
cleared from the lots as soon as posi-
BILE and plans are being made to beau
tify the new territory with flower
beds. For some time the fact that
the Fairgrounds of the public schools
were small and that more equipment
was needed has been recognized by
every one interested in this kind of
work. Plans also are being made to
enlarge the grounds of the Central
School.

HARRIS BILL WILL MEAN
ELECTRIC LINE HERE

If the Harris bill, providing that
foreign corporations may control
more than 10 per cent of their stock
in the State, which passed the Senate
recently, becomes a law, the way is
clear for the Mckinley system to en-
ter Missouri with their network of
interurban. Mr.. Mckinley has al
ways said in the past that this law
was all that kept him from building
in Missouri. The law will mean much
to the interurban aspirations Of
Mexico and Audrain county.
Representatives of the Mckinley
system are buying power plants in
this section of the State and have
made an investigation of the local
plant. They have surveyed a ten
tative route between this city and the
State capitol by way of Fulton with
connections to Columbia and an ex-
tension to Hannibal.
Business men who have talked with
representatives of the Mckinley sys-
tenn say they firmly believe that
should the Harris bill become a law
at the present session Mckinley would
be at work on his lines here within a
short time.

the largest and best equipped to be
found anywhere. 1t occupies three

his well equipped salesrooms on East

lishment.
The Mexico Auto Battery & Service
Co., whose battery service station is
in the Lawder building on Promenade

cry detail and well arranged.

car, have their garage on East Monroe
in the Morris building. They
are well equipped for repair work and
centrally located. They are located
in the room where one of the first
