SCHOOL LEG.
TURER HERE IN AUG.

P. 0. Griggs, of New York City, will
appear before the August meeting Of
the teachers of Audrain County to lee
ture to them on school work. He is
one of the foremost men in education
circles and the fact that Audrain has
secured him will undoubtedly bring
many teachers from other counties to
this city.
Ed C. Ofutt, county superintendent
of schools secured his promise to speak
before the Audrain teachers only after
a great deal of trouble. However as
Mr.. Briggs would be engaged in work
in Kansas at the time of the meeting
in this city, August % and %, he con-
scented to come to Mexico to be here
the two days.
Mr.. Briggs lives in Salt Lake City
but during the past months he has
been in New York where he has been
engaged in school work there. He is
one Of the most eminent lecturers on
school subjects in the United States
today and Audrain is very fortunate
to have him come to her teachers to
tell them better methods of teaching
and better general methods of school
work. He has lectured to teachers in
many of the largest cities of the Uni.
ted States and his work is regarded a;
the best obtainable as he is an auth
GRITTY on the subject.
The schools of Audrain have Away
been ranked high among the othe
counties and no doubt with the advice
and suggestions he may give they viii
rank even higher.

AUDRAIN SCHOOL
EXHIBITS WILL GO
TO STATE FAIR
Exhibits Made by Country Schools of
Audrain to be Sent to the State
Fair to be at Sedalia.

Audrain County will be we'll rep
resented at the state fair school ex-
hibit at Sedalia. A good number of
exhibits will be sent from this county
to compete against the work done by
the students of other counties.
The entries will probably include
examples of rope splicing, knot tying,
simpler forms of manual training, cs-
says on stock judging and various
other things of like nature. The
standard of work done in the county
schools of Audrain has always been
rated as high and it is thought the
work of this county's students should
make a very good showing. Just what
schools will enter the contest has not
yet been decided.

THE Ledger has always bean ac-
lively interested in good roads and we
take pleasure, day by day, ehronieling
the road work over the state. This IS
done for the purpose of giving our
people an idea Of just what is being
accomplished along this line and the
necessity of our getting busy at once
for better roads if we expect to MAIN
tain u enviable position as one of
the leading counties of Missouri. Ev-
,rycne should give their full support
to the bond issue campaign here which
will be launched shortly. There is
nothing Mexico and Audrain county
leeds more now than permanent high
ways. By permanent highways we
mean roads that will give the fullest
service for the least upkeep. The
character of the roads to be built
should be decided upon before the mat
ter is placed before the people. We
suggest that this is a matter for the
fullest investigation and consider
alton. Let US build for the future as
well as the present.

DRINKS ARE HERE

2YkEfU 1fst /
JEFFERSON CITY, July 25.-Al-
though alcoholic, vinous and ferment-
ed drinks are barred from Missouri,
there is no danger of a shortage in
soft drinks. The latter have multi
piled since the dry season until there
are now 1,040 soft drinks on the Mis-
souri, market.
The laboratory of the state bever-
age inspection department on the
fourth floor of the new state capitol
contains beer cases and bottles enough
to be mistaken for a popular dram
shop. Samples of all soft beverages,
including syrups, must come to the
department for inspection. The chief
of the department is Thomas Sneed
Mosby, former state beer inspector.
1t looks like meeting old faces to
see some of the sample bottles in the
laboratory. Shades of Col. Hickey Of
Galloway County, Missouri, in whose
honor the famous Gin Hickey was
named, is represented by a bottle,
shaped as the ordinary gin bottle,
with square shoulders and a yellow
label bearing the name Gin Hickey
1t smells like gin, but "no kick to that
drink says the state chemist.
Another bottle il marked Creme
de Mcnthe.' Nothing doing there
says the chemist. "One could drink
the whole bottle without laying the
foundation for a jag

About Digestion.

Digestion begins in the mouth. The
food should be thoroughly masticatcd
and i~nsalivated before it was swallow
ed. When this is habitually neglected
stomach trouble is almost sure to Tol-
low. If you now have indigestion cat
no beef or veal and sparingly Of other
meats, masticate your food thoroughly
and YOU may recover without taking
any medicine. If your bowels are
c%onstipated take Chamberlain's Tab
lets. They not only cause a gentle
movement of the bowels but aid di-
getion and strengthen the stomach.

 The states where the movement IS under way for permanently ex- changing '.an hour of night for an hour of light" are Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware. Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia. Tennessee. Hi nols, Ohio. Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, Utah, Connecticut, Mime ,sota. and Kentucky

 New York state for two years has had a daylight saving law on it's statute books. and. Mr. Marks said, any effort to repeal it would be hopeless, without the help of legis- lators from New York and Buffalo, most of whom, he said, had been found in favor of the law. At pres ,ent the months for daylight saving in New York conform to the old Federal statute, from March to Oc- .tober. To have the law uniform, MT.
