/ study of the industrial situation
IF Cape Girardeau makes two or
three conditions very plain. In the
first place the surface features and
joil condition of the territory sur

ity can not extend its trade terri

. the south and southwest. To the
est and north the rugged Ozark
-ountry is not open for any great
distance to Cape Girardeau; on the
,ast the Mississippi River, which is

probably won't be for several years

the extension OF our trade terri
ory IN this direction. 1t is therefore
1nly the lowland region south and
outawest of Us which is now being
pered up that constitutes a natural
rade territory which must look TO
his city as its market and purchas-
ng center. Furthermore, it is only
y tHis region that Cape Girardeau

Dearest:
II seems almost Q miracle that
we should have this procession OF
cloudless daysI But so IL is. As
we crossed the Potomac river the
rolling hills OF West Virginia lay
tender and green in the sunlight. I
do not know just what ha.4 been
my ideal OF Virginia, but / know
that IL could have been no sweeter or
more perfect than the panorama
which stretched before us. I found
a picture postcard with a poem,
"To Virginia" and IL expresses just
the beauty which choked my heart,
as we rode through that beautiful
country today!
There Is nowhere q land so fair
As IN Virginia.
So full of song, so free Of care,
As In Virginia:
And believe that happy land
The Lords prepared for mortal man
Is built exactly on the plan
OF old Virginia"
However. there Is q flaw in every
thing. and the flaw in Virginia Is
the ubiquitous tollgate. We paid IS
cents hrst, then IS, then Is, then 10.
and finally settled down to a steady
stride of 3 cents q mile for the re-
mainder of the way. The path TO
the pocketbook was as well worn as
the proverbial path to the well.
Jerry. who claims Virginia as his
home. so far forgot his allegiance
as to remark to one harmless toll
gate keeper holding out to US
box on a stick much as the contri-
button box in church: ''Hey, you. do
you bloomin' Southerners think
everybody 10 Rockefeilow that
owns an automobile?' The gate
keeper was superior to retort-or
maybe he was deaf.
There are so many LITTLE VII
LAGES in Virginia. Placards would
warn of town limits and speed re-
strictions, and Jerry. who fears
arrest as he fears nothing else on
earth, would slow up and creep
gingerly on, and while we would
be looking for the village with ev-
cry nerve tense, we would find we
had gone straight through 1t and
come out on the other side.
