Discuss Septic Tank Question

The members of the Mexico City
Council held an informal session
Thursday night at which time, they
discussed the tivisability of calling
an election to vote bonds with which
to install a new septic tank. No ac-
lion was taken in regard to this mat
ter at the Thursday night meeting.
A call meeting will be made later at
which time some definite move will
be made concerning the sewerage
question.
Joseph L. Patton, legal representa-
tive of the William R. Compton
Bonding Company, of St. Louis

planned how the bond system would
work.
The bonds system would cover a
longer period of time but the rate
would be much lower it was pointed
out, than if a tax levy were voted and
the money borrowed by the city. 1t
depended as to whether the city
wanted a higher rate at a shorter

FOR SOLDIERS
GOVERNOR HERE

JEFFERSON CITY, June 27.-Ir
casting about for a military candidata
for governor next year the attention
of Democratic party leaders is being
drawn to Adj. Gen. Harvey c. Clark.
The politicians recognize the eX-ser-
vice men will have a voice in naming
future candidates for office and there
are few in the state more popular,
particularly with the old national
guardsmen, than General Clark. If
nominated he would be expected to re
ceive the support of the military or
CARNATIONS.
Besides, General Clark is said to
have the good will of Judge W. ".
Graves, and that is no small asset in
Missouri Democratic politics. General
Clark denies he is to be a candidate,
but nevertheless his friends are doing
a lot of talking.
Other possible candidates for the
party for governor being
discussed by the state politicians are
Frank W. McAllister, attorney gen.
eral; Lieutenant Governor Wallace
Crossley, William T. Kemper and
Mayor James Cowgirl of Kansas City.

one of the favorite spots for producing
the moving picture and some of the
largest companies in the movie bus
mess operate here constantly. Nearly
any afternoon one may see, somewhere
along the beach, IN entire company of
movie actors busily at work produc-
ing moving pictures for the ever an
xious public. Mary Pickford is build
ing a studio only a few blocks from
our hotel here, The Windermere,
and Charley Chaplin has his home and
studio only a few miles away.
This is also the home of the lima
bean. 1t is certainly king of products
here. One often see fields of forty,
eighty or even a hundred acres of
lima beans and there is SHIPPED from
Santa Monica every year no less than
ten million pounds of these beans.
During the months Of April and May
there is a slight fog here in the fore
noon which is especially conclusive 70
the growing of this bean as it fur
nishes just the amount of moisture
required to produce the best quality
and largest quantity of this bean.
Those who do not care for serf
bathing here, may have any day in
the year, a hot or cold sea water bath
under cover
The Plunge Bath House here as it
is called, has over seven hundred dres-
sing rooms with a cold plunge seventy
feet wide by one hundred and forty
deep, and a hot plunge thirty-five feet
wide by one hundred feet deep. At
one end of the plunge are diving plat
forms from five to eighty feet high
and here are held most of the diving
contests of the Pacific coast. The
water in these plunges is absolutely
pure because it is constantly being
filtered and changed and is Chlorip-
ated by the e~lectralysis process.
One of the unique industries here is
a glass casket company which manu-
features over four hundred glass cas-
kt4s daily.
When one looks out over this beau
tiful plateau with it's expansive coast
line, unique mountains, fertile valleys
and beautiful canyons, all beautified
with the most ~luxurant growth of
and tropical shrubs, n then
feels that here nature has surely ex-
herself. And we now feel
that should the time ever come when
we shall have acquired enough of this
worlds material goods to keep the
wolf from our door (provided always
that we shall be able, when that time
comes to tear ourselves away from all
our good friends in dear Old Missouri)
we shall then return here to live until
the final summons, which sooner or
will surely call US one and all
to that undiscovered country from
bound no traveller returns,

Loss of Annette

AS a general rue there is nothing
serious about n loss of appetite, and iif
you skip 4 meal or only eat two meals
a day for a few days you will soon
have a relish for your meals when
meal time comes. Bear in mind that
at least five hours should always clap
Sc between meals so as to give the
food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before a sec
ond meal is taken. Then if you cat
no more than you crave and take a
reasonable amount of outdoor exer-
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When the
loss of appetite is caused by constipa-
ton as is often the case, that should
be corrected at once. A dose Of Cham
berlain's Tablets will do it. Adv.

Mrs. Ritter and l and the junior

Colorado with its wonderful climate
and scenery, very much. Fort Collins
is a beautiful town of about fifteen
thousand and is located almost at the
foot of the mountain. We are only
about forty miles from the Wyoming
line and we get some touches of the
real West. There are quite a few
Audrain County people here, and in
consequence we do not quite feel like

to you and the Ledger Company.
