EIGHT MEN TO HAVE
CHARGE OF FUNDS

THEY WILL SIGN CONTRACT
Organization Passes Resolution for
Nevada Camp Grounds-to In
vestigate Blattner Proposition

The contract submitted by the In
ternational Shoe Co. covering the en-
largement Of its Mexico branch was
approved last night by the business
men Of Mexico at a meeting in the
Chamber Of Commerce rooms. The
president of the Chamber Of Commerce
was instructed to appoint eight rep-
resentative business men to arrange
for collecting the $1,000 subscribed
By Mexico and to complete negotia-
tons with the shoe company. These
eight men will sign the contract for
Mexico acting as trustees for the sub
scribers.
OF the $1,000 subscribed in Mexico,
$500 is to be paid within thirty days
after the date of signing the contract
and the remainder in ninety days.
Subscribers to the building fund may
deposit Their subscription in their
banks to the credit of the "~Internat-
ional Shoe Factory Building Fund"
The proposition of the rebuilding
of the Blattner Brothers poultry and
cold storage plant in Mexico was
taken up and discussed. 1t was decid-
ed that further information regarding
the manner of conducting the BUSH
ness here should be available before
the business people of Mexico are
called upon TO act on the proposition of
taking stock in a ~reorganized corpor-
alton. A committee of three men was
appointed to make this investigation
and report back to the Chamber of
Commerce.
A resolution addressed to Secretary
of War Baker was passed, endorsing
the efforts now being made to estab-
lish a permanent training camp for
Missouri soldiers at Camp Clark,
Nevada Missouri. Similar resolu-
lions have been passed by commercial
organizations in other cities of the
state.

Gle the world over. Its meaning is
so diverse and its manifestations are
50 many. 1t is the biggest word in the
business lexicon, and the counter
sign that admits to the inner chamber
Of success.
Nerve is not unlike virtue. It is
the amalgam Of many. In its COM
position are self confidence, courage,
energy, grit, hope, enthusiasm, endur-
ance and then a surplus.
A man with nerve must perforea
be accused Of conceit, mostly by the
envious and single cylinders, who are
unable to distinguish between conceit
and confidence. Conceit is "IT in
speech; confidence is ~" in deed.
Nerve makes a man sure Of him
self. 1t destroys hesitation and takes
the wabble out Of the mind and ont Of
the legs. A mar with nerve believes
in himself. He knows that he cant.
Doubt and timidity are strangers to
him. In the language Of the phreno-
logist, he is seven plus on s~elf-esteem,
and his confidence inspires the conf
dence Of others.
The mar of nerve becomes a leader
Of men. He is magnetic; he attracts
men. He is galvanie; he energies
men. His way gives him sway. Nerve
begets courage. It puts fear on the
run, and is the stuff Of which real men
are made.
Furthermore, he lasts. He has en-
durance. Discouragements may be-

who has 240 acres leased for 10 years,
of which eight years still remain, has
written the Audrain county Exemp-
ton Board asking them to decide
whether he will be of more service to

a personal letter to the board and
leaves the decision to them.
He says in the past year he has rails

IN 2 WRECKS IN ONE DAY

1t isn't often hat a person is in
two railroad wrecks in one day; but
this is the unique experience that Mrs.
A. J. Winscott had Monday when she
was journeying back to Columbia from
Maiden, Mo-, where she had been Wis
iting her daughter, Mrs. Curtis PEN
ny. Mrs. Winscott formerly lived in
Mexico.
Mrs. Winscott was on the Cotton
Belt railroad train due in St. Louis
Monday morning. When the train
was five miles from East st. Louis a
freight train with five cars attached
bumped into the passenger train. The
compact, which was caused by the
topping over of one of the freight
cars, did not derail the heavier steel
passenger cars, but gave the passen-
gers a shakeup. There were no in
%iuries. Mrs. Winscott, after arriving
at st. Louis, boarded the Wabash for
Columbia and experienced another
wreck when the Wabash coaches left
the track near Centralia Monday
afternoon. She was not seriously in
jured, but painfully bruised. Along
with other passengers she had to
crawl through the doors of the over
turned cars and into the snow in order
to be liberated.

to purchase produce from the local
merchants and did not expect to open a

re in Wellsville or sell II.
Mr.. Blattner's proposition is strict
ly a stock-selling one, He desires to
dispose Of from fifty to a hundred
thousand dollars worth Of stock in
the new plant in this city, should it be
built here. The preference Of the
company is for Mexico, not only be-
cause of superior fire protection, but
for our many other advantages. 81
will not take this matter up with any
other city," said Mr.. Blattner, "until
the matter has been disposed of here.
l will wait until the middle of next
week for your answer"
The shares in the proposition would
sell for $50 each. The Blattner con-
Germ is one of the largest of its kind
in this state. Mexico merchants have
for a long time considered the estab-
lishment of a similar proposition.
Mr.. Blattner intimated that their
plans would meet the approval of the
local merchants.
