If some Of the fahionable follies Of

had passed the Ringo corner ten years
ago the permanent lessees Of the

I never could understand why some
mems wives are such avid readers Of

it at home without going to libra

what the same thrill as sitting in an

MAPPING OUT LEAGUE

MoBERLY, Mo-, Jan. 20. - The
latest move in semiprofessional cir
cles of Central Missouri is the propo-
sition to form base ball league with
Moberly, jefferson City, Sedslia,
Boonville, Columbia and one or two
other cities of equal import as men,
bers. The plan is being fostered by
Sam Duvenick and A. E. Fifer, two
well-known local base ball enthusi-
asts.
Moberly last year was in the Gen.
tral Missouri League with Mexico
Higbee, Paris, Columbia and Contra
LA, but the organization did not prove
a financial success. Failure OF the
smaller cities to draw crowds suffi-
GENTLY large to meet the road expens'
es was given as the cause. DuveniE
and Fifer expect to call a meeting
in Moberly soon, when the promoters
and cities will be formally found to-
gether by the posting of forfeit mon
ey. The new organization will pla!
under the rules of organized bast
| ball.

CLARK WILL SEEK PRES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20
II conditions are propitious Champ
Clark, Speaker of the National House
of Representatives, again will be a
candidate for the Democratic noml-
nation for President Of the United
States in 1920. The Speaker an
nouneed last night:
al will run if the sign is right" he
said That is all have to say now
There is no need to ask me any more
questions. / won't say another word
| / am going to bed now"
Mr.. Clark was seen at his hotel'
where he was asked to confirm a re-
mort that he had recently told a MS
souri, friend Of his intention TO seek
the Presidency at the close Of Presi-
dent Wilson's second term. He unhes-
itatingly made the above statement
Announcement Surprise.
News Of the Speakers purpose to
get into the Presidential race is ex'
pected to cause a sensation through
out the country when It becomes
known. Mr.. Clark, until he recently
took friends into his confidence, had
not given on inkling Of his detcrmi'
nation to make another try for the
White House.
Having missed the Presidency by .
hair when he lost the nomination u
President Wilson in Baltimore foui
years ago, after holding n majority o.
the votes for eight successive ballots
lit was for q time assumed that TN
Speaker would again contend for TN
nomination last year.
Early in Mr.. Wilson's administrator
he disposed of the theory, however
by his now famous utterance on tn
floor of the House, that if "Presi
dent Wilson made good no maj
could beat him, and if he didn't, tn
Democratic nomination would not b
worth having"

SHIP OVER zoo CARS
OF HORSES LAST YEAR

Lee Bros, of this city, one OF the
largest single firms buying ind
shipping horses in the entire Unit
ed States, averaged four car loads
of horses to the market a week last
year. This does not include high
grade saddle and driving horses, Of
which they sold many. A large num-
ber of these animals were for war
purposes and they are probably the
largest shippers Of these animals of
any firm in the West.
W. D. Lee has done large part Of
the purchasing, though Ed Lee has
assisted materially in the work. Geo.
Lee handles the selling end of the
business entirely. They are all we'll
known wherever the horse is held in
esteem. Their reputation for integ-
rity and satisfaction is such that each
year they receive many orders from
buyers and wealthy men over the
country who purchase "unsight and
unseen" relying on the word Of this
firm. If the horse is not what they
want they know Lee Bros. will not
sell him to them.
1t is interesting to note, and reflects
highly on their ability in this spe-
cial field, that there have been fewer
horses rejected by foreign govern
ments from Lee Bros. shipment to the
National Stock Yards than any other
shippers there. And at the same time
they supplied more norses for war
purposes at this market than any
other single firm.
The success Of this firm goes to
prove what ability, plus service and
integrity can accomplish.

THE BOY PROBLEM.

THE necessity Of some constructive
and organized body in charge Of the
welfare Of the boys Of Mexico is be-
coming more imperative all the time.
The boy, no matter how good his
environment, must be guarded from
vicious and detrimental influence.
The only proper and successful
method Of doing this is either through
the Boy Scout work or a strong Y.
NJ. C. A.
A movement is on IN this city to
interest the women in the perpetua-
ton Of the Boy Scouts. The present
organization, which outgrew its orig
inators, can be rehabilitated with the
proper cooperation from the parents.
AY. NJ. C. A. will likely become a
material fact here this year. The
necessity for such an institution is
one we cannot overlook much longer.
The boy of today is the man OF
tomorrow. As trite as this may
sound you must nevertheless concede
that to make the man of tomorrow a
good citizen the environment and in
fluences surrounding the boy must
be par or above.
The moral as we'll as civic welfare
Of the city are at stake. These may
appear little matters now, but were the
whole truth known our citizenfhiE
would realize the absolute necessity
of immediate action in this work.
The amount Of petty thievery b!
boys during the Christmas rush at th'
stores is alone sufficient justification
we're there no other considerations
Let US do something permanent TO
the boys Of the community at once.
Mexico boys are above the aver
age. but we want the best there !
for them and make them worthy o
the best
