A marriage of more than ordinary note and interest to Phoenicians took place in Los Angeles recently when Mrs. Guy Moseley became the bride of Harry R. Tritle. Only a few close friends were advised of the plans of the couple and a message from the coast yesterday brought the first di- rect news of the event.
 The wedding was quiet affair Sunday evening at the Bryson apart ments with few guests among whom were Mir. and Mrs. Herman Hauser, Judge and Mrs Thomas White, Ed ward Vail, Russell Vail and Francis s. Viele of Prescott. Mrs. Hauser was the matron of honor and the brides only attendant and Mir. Niele served Mir Tritle as best man. Judge White read the service.

ADVISING PEOPLE NOT TO EAT.

ADVISING FEOPEE MOI ~ IA ] .
i noticed an article in the Sunday
Examiner regarding the high cost of
living. 1t advised how a family Of
eight can be fed on $40 week, this
sum even including the gas for cook
ing. This seems to come from an in
sane person to the starving poor.
If this is the best advice the home
makers guild can give, I say it is
wrong. Eggless mullins, stewed
prunes, peaches, bananas and or
anges are also sky high in price. Be
sides those are foods for ladies and
gents of leisure, not for the working
class. The constant eating Of ce-
reals, moreover, spOis the blood, by
making it impure.
The only remedy for the high cost
of living is to fight the millionaire
hogs who are sending fOOdstuffs over
the seas and selling them in Europe

stock of Missouri, the State might
take charge of all stock infected with
or exposed to the disease and, if nee
essary, kill the same and pay a rea-
sonable sum to the owner of the an
imals.
Mr.. Clark was prompted to intro
duce this bill, which was passed by a
large majority and has been in effect
ever since, through the prevalence of
the CHAMBERS throughout Missouri at
that time. This disease was effec-
lively stamped out after the passage
of the bill and very few cases have de-
fveloped in Missouri since that time.
The foot and mouth disease was one
of the infectious diseases enumerated
in the bill.
In the February issue of the Breed
ers' Gazette there appeared an arti.
Gle in which the cost of stamping Out
the recent epidemic of the foot and
mouth disease which swept over the
country was estimated at nine mil
lions of dollars. Illinois was said to
have borne the greater part of this
expense.
The Federal Government appropri-
ated a large amount to assist the
States.
When this epidemic came it found
many of the states with no legal ma
chinery to combat its spread, but
thanks to Mr.. Clark's bill of 1889
Missouri was supplied with legal ma.
chinery and power to take steps tt
stamp out the epidemic, which cos
her neighbor states so heavily.
According to the provisions of Mr.
Clark's bill a veterinarian is required
to quarantine all stock infected or ex.
posed to infectious diseases until tnt
stock is ordered released or killed BY
the State Veterinarian. The Statt
Veterinarian may order such stool
killed and the State pays the owner ;
reasonable sum for all stock so dis
posed of.

In 1889, the Honorable G. F. Clark,

ed many thousands of dollars in
stamping out the recent epidemic of
the foot and mouth disease among

The bill, known as House Bill Num-

were horse mules. Mr.. Biggs re-
ceived $125 a head for them. While
several members Of the Ramsey fam
lily have been here before on mule
buying expeditions, it was the first
trip for Stewart Ramsey to the King

of the most successful mule feeders
in the Kingdom, closed a deal Monday
by which he becomes the owner of the

which adjoins his farm and lies south
east of Hatton. The property cost
him $6,579, and increases his acreage
to about 400 acres of as good farm
land as there is in the Hatton Sec
ton.
w. B. Buckner recently purchased
120 head of good cattle and has sold
all but So head. His brother, John
T. Buckner, bought a bunch at S57.50

bought AZ head at obout S5b a head.
Mr.. Buckner says he has 80 acre of
wheat that is in excellent shape, but
it is about the only good wheat in his
section. He lives in north Audrain.

in Fulton on Monday, but were unable

MARK TWAIN AUTO CLUB
The Hannibal Organization Working

Mr.. R. NJ. White, Mexico, Mo.
HANNIBAL, Mo-, April 2.
Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of
March 3Oth the Mark Twain Automo-
bile Club was organized about three
years ago. They have taken a great
deal of interest in improving the
streets and roads and also in regulat-
ing traffic. The dues are SIS annually
which entities the member to an en-
ameled radiator emblem. This emb-
lem is about three inches in diameter
and is a miniature automobile wheel
with the head of Mark Twain in the
center. 1t is a very attractive emb-
lem i.
This same work can be done by
your Commercial Club, but in Hanni-
bal we have a good many owners Of
automobiles that are not members of
the Commercial Club and in this way
we can get the financial and moral
support of these people who are not
members of the Commercial Club.
The Mark Twain Automobile Club has
a membership of about $50; it should
have twice that many and / think we
can add a good many members by a
little effort. At this time the Club
ID. making an effort to pave Marx
Twain Avenue. They are securing
subscriptions from the property
owners and business men and expect
to pave it this year. 1t is one of The
many important roads leading to thu
city and on account of the property
being low in value it is impossible fol
the property owners to pay for paw
ing the street. Hence, they are goini
to get subscriptions to assist in max
ing the improvement.
If there is any other information
we can give you do not hesitate t.
call upon us for it.
Yours very truly,
H. A. SCHEIDKER,
Secretary.

AUTOMOBILE CLUB HERE


The following letter from M. v.
Carroll, Secretary and Treasurer
of the Missouri State Motor and Good
Roads Association, located at Soda
liza, regarding the organization of an
Automobile Club in Mexico, speaks
for itself:
Mr.. R. M. White, Mexico, Mo.
SEDALIA, Mo-, March 80, 1917. -
Dear Mr.. White: Your good letter
of goth just now received and I "stop
the press" = of other work - and
hasten to reply. Mighty glad TO
hear from you and that your folks
are interested in organizing your au-
toists into a working force.
l have had Mexico and Audrain
county in mind ever since l begun
the field work for this association,
but gee! this old State is a WHALE
and it has been a physical impossi-
bility for me - one lone nan -
to cover all of it, although I have
been on the jump almost constantly
since Oct. Is last and, to this date,
have spoken in 10 counties and have
formed about go auxiliary clubs, as
you will note by examination Of copy
of our Bulletin No. l, going to you
under separate owe in this mail.
The temporary organization of
this association was formed during
the last State Fair, the idea being
then to call it the missouri State
Motor Association" but we soor
learned that to accomplish its prima-
ry purpose = that Of promoting q
state system of better roads - We
would have to enlarge its name &c
include all good roads boosters wheth.
err auto owners or not, so the present
name was adopted. Its plan, in brief
is to affiliate all existing auto ant
good roads clubs on basis Of $1.00 pei
year dues for each member leach 10.
cal club forms its own bylaws anC
determines its own dues) and to form
such clubs in counties where none
existed. After I got to work, / wa:
surprised to find so few clubs any.
where in the State. This is the only
statewide organization boosting fol
better roads. Now that state aid fol
better roads is available, every count!
needs just such an organization to b.
constantly on the Job. We gave
earnest and effective aid for the pas
sage of the Halves and other roads
bills.
We lack auxiliary clubs in Audrain
Pike, Lincoln and Montgomery coun
ties - if a consecutive series of date!
for meetings in those counties coult
be arranged, I would be glad to Civ
you a speaking date. Maybe you cal
place me in touch with one or NOR,

tiles = if so, I will try to arrang,
with them so as to include Mexico il

Thanking you for having written
and for your further cooperation
