THE AUDRAIN- CALLAWAY
PERMANENT GOOD ROAD.
Highway From Jefferson City Thru
Fulton To Mexico To Get State
And Federal Aid.

A. G. McKibben of Jefferson City,
Secretary of the State Highway Com
mission, made trip of inspection
over the Mexico road between the
Fulton Special Road District and the
Audrain county line Friday with a
view to aroGsing interest in improv-
ing the highway, says the Fulton Ga
zette.
He was accompanied by c. B.
Marsh of the Kansas City Star, who
has spent much of his time the last
two years developing interest in road
improvements, and ]. r. Ellis, c. D.
Mann and w. F. Tefts, all employees
of the Commission.
The road thru Fulton from Jeffer-
son City to Mexico has been approx
ed by the State Highway Department
for aid from the State and Federal
Governments, and Mr.. McKibben is
doing all he can to have districts
along it's routes organized, so that a
permanent road may be built.
The road over the Auxvasse Hills,
on the Mexico road, is the worst piece
of main travel highway in the county
now, owing to the fact that nothing
has been done to it, while work has
been going on elsewhere. If Mr..
McKibben can evolve plan whereby
it can be bettered he will obtain the
gratitude of hundreds of North Cal
laway farmers who have to use it.
Preparations are going ahead rap
idly for putting down a hard surface
on the Audrain county part of the
road.

not to include the incidents relative

The reading of the invitation brot
forth considerable discussion. Some
debated in favor of accepting it, say
ing: \
"This will afford a good opportu-
nifty for us to see for ourselves If
they are wasting any grains at the
brewery"
Others opposed the visit under
any circumstances. Some desired a
fat refusal, while others, believing
that the motive back of the invita-

The vote to ignore the invitation is

MCMILLAN NOTES.
(By William HicISman.)

To the delight of his friends, Rob-
ert Campbell returned to Mexico last
week. Head of the English depart
ment of Mcmillan for several years,
he had not intended to teach this

ton, and hygiene. Mr.. Campbell
told of the life and customs, stating
that the most serious discontinue to
him was absolute lack of privacy and
lack of youthful companionship.
From freshmen to supt. we were in
tensely interested. Mr.. Campbell en-
thused over our Mcmillan Battalion.
He urged the Y. NJ. C. A. work
The Senior Class, Thursday even
ing, Nov. 18th, 1917, gave a party at
the Sannebeck home on North Jeffer-
son In honour of Mr.. Campbell. The
unique feature of the event was that
the girls scratched the names and
made the dates with the boys, tho
some Of the girls were not equal to
the occasion giving rise to much
amusement. All had a swell time.
Juniors head the list of the Y. NJ.

Glass gave $25, the Sophomores, $40,
and Freshmen $50. Almost SAP was
raised by subscription in Junior class
