Over BUYING Frogs.

Col. led Hook, editor OF the Auy-
vase RsTieE, was in this city Sat
urday and purchased u extra hne
frogs from Pal Shire. Mr.. Hook says
the soil Of Galloway county Is agree
able to the raising Of frogs and ex-
poets to take his acquisition from the
Shire herd and raise some extra
good ones to be shown at the county
fairs next summer. - Mexico Led
ger.
The Ledger is mistaken as to num-
bers Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frogs purehas-
ed. On Pills word that the female
frogs would weigh from IS to rs
pounds each and the bulls would tip
the beam at Us pounds when good and
fat, we contracted with Col. Shire for
1000 pairs Of these monsters Of the
deep to be delivered at the Auxvasse
bridge on the rail road on June 1st,
1917, where they win be dumped into
the stream. Col Shire was cut 10 his
big lake, which covers nearly all Of
his farm, looking his frogs over Sat
urday morning and says that they
were sitting out On the banks Of the
lake whistiing my Old Kent0eky
Home" to beat the hand. and says IL
vas the sweetest music he ever heard
in all his born days. The Col told Us
that he had steam pipes all through
the lake and the water Is kept warm
all winter, thus be says the frogs new
er know when winter comes and are
multiplying by the hundreds every
day and he is afraid that before
spring comes they viii overflow the
lake and many Of them win make
their getaway down Salt River. The
retail price is 90 per bull frog and
s1-5s for female frogs Write PhIl
for further particulars. - Auxvasse

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. II, 1917
Mr.. R. N. White, Editor, Mexico Led
ger, Mexico, No. Dear Sir: We
hand you herewith s1.00 in payment
for another years subscription to the
Ledger, which is still a welcome Wis
ito in IN Western home
We had a heavy snowfall Christmas,
which i~nterfered with traffic for g
short time but vas soon swept away
by the Chinook" which is a warm
southwest breeze hat invariably fol
lows & snowstorm in this country.
More automobiles than usual are
in service this year on the streets of
Spokane. The two jitneys which we
own have not been off their route all
winter, as the principal streets Of
Spokane are paved to the city limits,
making this a center for the jitney in
dustry. Another outgowth Of this
business is the numerous auto stage
lines extending in all directions, es-
peeially on the paved highways,
throughout the fertile wheat lands.
The autos and trucks are rapidly up
planting horses, and It Is no uncommon
thing on Sunday morning to see one
team and Is autos drawn up in front
Of the little country church. The
houses of the Wheat Kings in this
section are modern in every detail
and rival the city homes in conven-
fences. This is due in part to the
a~daptability Of the soil and in part
TO the spirit Of progress and enter
prise characteristic Of the Western
farmer. Also, crops have been abun-
dant the last s years and prices have
been high during the war.
This winter there is a notable de-
crease in the members Of the Army
Of the Unemployed, which is atti-
buted to the dry law, which has pre-
vailed in Spokane for a year. There
is more money in ~ciculation than for
several years, and present business
conditions indicate that prosperity
will reign supreme during 1917.
With kndest regards, we remain
Yours very truly,
Sylvia and Homer WyIde,
W-2617 Cleveland Ave.
