TIME EXTENDED

The Message was overwhelmed
last week by remittances for re-
newal at the dollar a year rate.
Many however overlooked the mat
ter, or were unable to see us, until
after the time set for the $3.50 rate
to go into effect, On account of this
we have concluded to extend the
time to January 9Th. That will give
everybody plenty of time to get in
on the dollar rate.
Please don't postpone for after Jan
uary 5th If your subscription ac-
count is Mt squared you may miss
the weekly visits of your favorite
newspaper. The rate must be ad-
vanced to $3.50 year, cash in ad-
vance. That is fair and the only bust

Three Bold Bad
Robbers In Limbo
Knock A Vandalia Man Down, Take
His Money And Board A Train For
Mexico.

Judge w. w. Bolts and party saw
the picture show Friday night and
then they saw a real movie in life on
the street.
Three accused robbers had Just
been taken from the train from Van
dalia and while the officers were re-
lieving the men of their guns and
their chat of money" one broke away
and Judge Bolts saw Nightwatch-
man Sanford fire the shot that took
Mr.. Robber across the back of the
neck, causing him to fall, when he
was taken again.
The three men gave their names as
Roy McCune, Charlie Ledford and
Eddie Colman, claiming Indianapo-
lis, Ind, as their postoffice address.
They arrived in vandalia and, it
appears, made up thir minds to rob
somebody. Their victim was H. P.
Middleton, the butcher. They met
Middleton going home from his shop
just after dark Friday evening,
knocked him down and took his
money.
The west-bound Chicago & Alton
passenger train came in about that
time and the robbers boarded it.
Officers telegraphed to the authori-
ties in Mexico to be at the train
here and arrest them. The conduc-
tor of the train was also notified. The
conductor locked the coach and held
them till the train got into Mexico.
Their arrest was then easy.
They proved themselves three
bold, bad boys--if indeed the fellows
now in Jail here are the fellows
wanted at Vandalia. Lacking in wis
dom, they are now in serious trouble.
The three men are to have their
trial in the Circuit Court Wednesday,
December 10.
Mexico Missouri message., 1917-12-13

The Vandalia Leader comments as
follows: The $4,000 notes of the
Community Church at Rush Hill,
representing the indebtedness of the
church, were burned Sunday, and
the building now stands free of in
cumbrance. 1t will be remembered
that Speaker Champ Clark dedicated
this church, an event of which "Mr.
Clark was prouder," said Mrs.
Clark, than anything he ever did
in his life."

CHI. Chambliss, of Gunnison, Colo,
is said to be the inventor OF an air
motor for airplanes that greatly in
creases the efficiency of the flying ma
chine, besides the motor feeds alone
on air. All, we should have had that
machine several months ago, before
this scarcity Of coal. BY the way,
what would that motor do up in the
air near where there is no air? By
the way, again, the mother Of this
man Chambliss was formerly Miss
Fannie Rixey of Mexico, Mo. soberly
