ROAD FROM GULF TO
LAKES THROUGH MEXICO?
Mexico is on Line of Proposed New
Road Agitated by Ozark Trails
Association
A BIG MEETING HERE SOON
The Road Proposed by the Associa.
tiOn Would Also Go South to
Gulf Coast and Border

Mexico is on a new trail that is be-
ing promoted by the Ozark Trails
Association, which has promoted and
caused to be built 4,20O miles of good
roads during the past IL months.
The new trail that they are agitating
connects with the Ozark Trails at
Springfield, Mo-, and runs north
through jefferson City, Fulton and
Mexico, with an outlet either at Lou
isiana, Hannibal or Quincy, and from
there on to the Great Lakes. From
Springfield it will follaw the man
line of the East and West Ozark
Trails to Oklahoma City, and from
there will strike south through Fort
Worth ana to Galveston on the Gulf
Coast, and FL Paso on the border.
The selection of the trails
has been assigned to M. D .Lightfoot
vice-president of the Ozark Trails
Association, of Springfield, Mo. In
order to commence to perfect the or
ganization as quickly as possible, he
requests that good road enthusiasts
and leaders along this arm Of tn;
trail communicate with him at once
Some time soon, likely within the
next 30 days, a party of the officers
will travel all those proposed routes
and hold meetings. Another route
from Springfield to the Illinois bor-
der has been suggested, and it is prop.
able that the road in which citizens
show the most interest will be Sc.
lected.

ANOTHER DAY TO SEE THE
RAILWAY EXPOSITION
Impossible to Accommodate Crowds
in Time Allowed

The management Of the California
Railway Exposition is so well pleased
with the enthusiastic reception their
train has been accorded here, thai
they have decided to give another day
to Mexico.
Hundreds of people have visited the
train during its stay here, and judg-
ing from the comments of the multi
tudes this is one of the finest things
that has ever come our way and it is
to be hoped that everyone in Mexico
will enjoy the privilege of viewing
these wonders from the Pacific coast,
so graphically presented in the diver
sified products of California. 1t is q
show of interest and untold education
to all, the elder folks as well as
the young.
The cars are still parked on the
Wabash tracks and will remain open
till ten o'clock tonight and will be
open at ten o'clock tommorrow MORN
ing on the last day, but will probably
have to close at nine o'clock tomor-
row night to prepare for the move
ment to Montgomery. dit

AUDRAIN co. SAILORS
GIVE WOMEN CHANCE TO
DO PATRIOTIC KNITTING
Need of Sleeveless Sweaters by Boys
in Training Camp Mentioned in
Letter to the Ledger

Need of sleeveless sweaters by the
Audrain county boys who are in the
Navy is told of in a letter the Ledger
received Wednesday from Ty. G. Rob-
erts, one of the boys in the training
station at Newport, R. l. This is the
only kind of clothing they are allow
ed to receive, and the only thing they
need. Here is a fine chance for Au-
drain county women who want to do
some patriotic knitting.
The letter follows:
Dear Friend:
NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. %, 1917
| (Sunday) We all read the Ledgers
our friends send us and sure enjoy
them. All the boys are getting along
! fine, except little inconsistencies
once in awhile. l am eating more
and more every day, have gained
about 10 pounds. All the Mexico
boys wish to thank Dobyns Bros. for
the cigarettes they sent us; they are
very scarce here; also candy; it seems
funny all the sailors crave sweets.
I guess it is because they are so hard
to get. If you could see Newport to-
day, crowded with sailors, you would
think they had enough here to whip
Germany. l expect we will stay here
about month more and by hard
training we will be regular sailors.
We have received several letters from
women of different societies asking
what we really needed. Uncle Sam
furnishes us every thing we need in
the clothing line but those small
sleeveless sweaters which most of the
boys have already. There are 10
boys from Audrain county here and
that is the only kind of clothing we
are allowed to accept, and would do
us more good this winter. Please
mention this so our friends will know
what we are allowed to receive and the
only thing we need. Best regards to
all the boys at home. From
The Audrain County Boys.
TY. G. ROBERTS,
U. S. Naval Training Station,
9Th Reg, 9th Company.

PREPARING TO PICK
THIRD UNIT TO ARMY
Most Intricate and Particular Work
of Draft Now Confronts Local
Board of Exemption
aRD CONTINGENT LEAVES OCT. 3
District Board Has Certified 1872
Names to Adjutant General
Audrain's Quota is III

Wednesday of next week, just a
week from today, is the date upon
which the third contingent to the new
National Army is to depart for mobi-
lization camp at Camp Funston,
unless present plans Of the govern
ment are changed; and the local ex-
emption board has taken up in earn
est the task of preparing to select its
increment: Two copies of all the reg
istration blanks, and two of the ply
sical examination blanks have to be
made, and no little amount of work is
connected with that, to say nothing
of the labor incident to picking the
men according to their liability num-
Der, making certain that none is se-
lected before his order number.
The board received on Tuesday a
list of names Of 81 men certified by
the District Board to the Adjutant-
General for service. Altogether, 1872
names have been certified back by
the District Board, while the county's
quota is III. Several of the 1872 are
already in the service, and the county
will not be given credit on its quota
for them. Other than that the move
ment will start on October 3, no word
regarding it has been received by the
local board, and members are inclined
to believe Audrain's contingent will
not entrain on that day. The next
contingent is to be GO, the same num-
ber that left on September 21, and it is
likely special train running under a
similar schedule as the other, will
carry the "boys" to Camp Funston.
Twenty-eight of the 1862 men eerti-
fled to the Adjutant General are me-
groes, and no official word regarding
their entrainment has been received.
They will probably be sent to Des
Moines for training.
The most intricate and particular
work Of the whole draft now con-
fronts the members of the local
board, as they have TO select men
from the names certified back to
them by the District Board, after
such certification is made, in such a
way that no man will go to training
camp before his order of liability
The selection of the first increment
will be made after the District Board
goes through the lists and rules on
pending cases. Every man who has
so far been certified by the District
Board to the Adiutant General will
more than likely be included in the
next 68 to go to training.

A DRY ARMY THE BEST

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Sept. 26.
- The death of John Barleycorn
awakened no sympathy here among
the medical staff of the army camp.
Capt. r. C. Winslow, regimental sur
geon, expressed himself enthusiastic
cally on the subject.
"The prohibition of liquor in the
army has increased efficiency in the
army 100 per cent" he said. Normal
men are not hard to govern and the
absence of liquor has enabled us to
move the men into the camp and make
all necessary adjustments with
scarcely any friction, because the men
are in a normal condition.
"The officers are also much better
off. Headaches and torpid liver and
such ailments are no longer known.
The spirit de corps of the army is i'm
proved. If we would compare condi-
tions here with those prevailing at
the time pf the Spanish-American
War we would appreciate what prohi-
bition has DONE"
Another officer in the medical staff
still higher in rank admitted that he
had been brought up to drinking as
habit and that he had tried to get
some liquor since entering prohibi-
ton territory.
Liquor is very hard to get" he
said, "and anyway, 1 am about con.
verted to total prohibition. There is
no ground for debate that prohibition
is better for the army and compari
son of dry and wet towns has con.
vinced me that prohibition bring!
everywhere improved conditions"
The state of Michigan does not gc
dry until next April, but Battle Creel
is a dry town,
