But evidently he didn't want to fight

at last told him he must have a let

Wins His First "Battle."

Ernest Baker. with the Galloway
county contingent from Fulton, had
reached Mexico with his men some
time before the st. Louis train ar
rived here, which was to take the
soldiers on to Camp Funston. He
decided he had time to visit his
aunt here, Mrs. Fred Langenbach.
He was driven to the Langenbach
home in Miss Helen Wonneman's
auto. He was then driven back to
catch the train with the other men.
The train was a little late and he
went to the Hoxsey Hotel to talk
with his mother at Fulton, whom
he left i'll at her home. When he
left the phone he found the train
had just pulled out, and too late for
him to catch it. Miss Wonneman
again offered her services and a
race was begun to overtake the
train, at least before 1t should reach
Centralia. The race was a thriller
AS good fortune would have it,
as the auto reached Thompson the
train was Just pulling in on side
track to let another train pass.
No pun on her name, but Miss
Wonneman had won, So had Ba'
ker won. He was on and off fol
the war. His memoirs-if he gets
thru safely and returns he should
write a book. The first chapter
would tell of the winning of his
first battle, and Miss Wonneman'i
name should have place in the vol
ume.

Message Honored
At Press Meet
The Editor Elected As One OF The
ce-Presidents-St. Louis Gives
The Pen-pushers A Royal Time.


The Missouri Press Association
held it's annual meeting in st. Louis
last week. There was business and
shop talk. Two days we were
guests of the st. Louis Chamber of
Commerce. The first day in auto
mobiles and visits to the great
tl:nC5 to be seen in the city. The
second day, a trip on the Grey Eagle
down the Mississippi to Jefferson
Barracks, where we met thousands
of the soldier boys. In the evening
we took mess with them, where
about 1900 of them sat down at
the same table.
Our hats off to each and every
member of the st. Louis Chamber of
Commerce. They gave us the time
of our lives. They showed us that
the old town is a mighty fine place.
They took us, also, away out into st.
Louis county, where we could view
the farms and their surroundings
and upkeep. 1t was all great.
Among some of the fine newspaper
boys we met were Jack Blanton. of
the Paris Appeal; w. o. L. Jewett. of
the Shelbina Democrat; William
Suthern, of the independence Exam
iner; w. H. McIntire, of the Van
dalia Mail; Erl Hodges, of the Mo-
kane Missourian; R. NJ. Thompson,
of the St. Charles Banner-News; A.
F. Drake, of Jasper, Mo-; Lewis w.
Moore of Hume. Mo-, and hundred
other splendid fellows
One of the visitors was that
grand old man-not so old, II
years young-Prof. w. H. Lynch of
the State Normal School at Spring
field, Mo. He has been teacher
Al years. He is a remarkable fell
low; takes over 100 county news
papers and pays for them all. Mr..
Lynch addressed the editors at one
of the sessions. He places the
newspaper on a very high pinnacle.
1t is the hope and salvation of our
country. Long years ago it was
written. The pen is mightier than
the sword"
Mr.. Lynch has a fine life motto
81 would look up and laugh and
lift"
On the last day of the editors
meetin the annual election of Off
GERS was held.
]. P. Tucker, editor of the Park
vile Gazette, was elected president,
succeeding H. j. (Jack) Blanton, of
the Paris Appeal. John Beal, edit
or of The Mexico Message, was
elected third vice-president
The other officers elected were;
Sam Davis, of Butler, first vice
president; Arch P. Hollenbach, of
West Plains, second vice-president;
B. Ray Franklin, of Russellville,
secretary, and L. w. Moore, of
| Hume, treasurer.
| In the above connection, the ed
itor of The Message appreciates the
following from The Mexico Intelli-
gencer, our friend across the street:
The Intelligencer congratulates
it's neighbor, John Beal, editor of
The Mexico Message, upon being
chosen one of the yice-presidents
of the Missouri Press Association.
Mr.. Beal has been a member of the
Association for many years and has
been active in its affairs. The office
to which he was elected was merely
form of comforting an honor and
the expression of his fealty to the
Missouri Press Association. 1t was
we'll merited."

Tne. Soldiers Depart 7
II ouching Scenes
Meet At Postoffice Building--Escort-
cd To Station, By NJ. NJ. A. Band
A Soldiers Race To TompsOn.

An immense crowd gathered at
the Wabash depot Friday morning
to see Audrain's second contingent
of 6S soldier boys off for Camp
Funston, Kansas.
There were heart-touching scenes.
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers,
and sweethearts made free demon
stration-it was indeed one time
when strong young fellows were not
abashed to have their women folks
make over them in public. Grief
was uncontrolled.
The 68 me-there were really 60
of them-met first at the headquar-
ters of the local Exemption Board
in the Postoffice Building Thursday
afternoon. 1t was an inspection
meeting, to learn that all had re-
ported. Five extra men had been
called, so that if any failed to show
up the Board would not be embar-
rassed by not having the full quota.
The final assembly before the de-
parture for Fort Funston was Fri
day morning at 10 o'clock.
After being inspected, to see that
nothing but light baggage was car
ried orders for the entrainment
were given by the Board and the
appointment of Captain was made,
which fell upon Roy Paullin,
young farmer northwest of Mexico.
His assistant was Jay Herold Frost
of Vandalia. Postmaster w. r.
Jackson addressed the men and
Rev. H P. Atkins, of the Mexico
Christian Church, offered prayer.
Each man was presented with a
comfort bag, given by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Unions of
the county. The Mexico Chamber
of Commerce presented ribbons on
which was inscribed: National
Army Unit, Audrain County, Mo-"
Led by Missouri Military Acade-
my Band and battalion of cadets,
the soldiers marched in body to
the Wabash station. A final roll
call was held at the station just be-
fore the train came in after which
Captain Paullin assumed charge.
He took into his possession all the
railroad and meal tickets, and was in
absolute charge of the men till they
should have arrived at Camp Funston
Friday night at 1880.
