THE PLUMB PLAN.

Suppose the railroads were turned back to private control and manae. ed by boards of directors elected by
 -" stockholders; then suppose these stockholders could declare aay ois ldend they pleased and the inter- state commerce commission were compelled to fix rates that would realize the money; under these cir cumstances one may imagine what the stockholders would do Ana human nature being about the same, whether man is stock holder or a railroad worker. on.. may imagine what would happen un- der the Plumb plan. It is funda- mental to have public control over rates, and if there is a lease. to have the lessees take the risk of the busl- ness. But these things are the exact things the Plumb plan avoids pro- viding for. So it is difficult to as- sess it's quality or to predict it's con sequences.

A Joke on Colonel Dick Bradley.

Col. Dick Bradley, the Checkerboard
Food man, claims to be one of the best
horseback riders in the whole coun-
try, and his friends claim they have
good joke on him along this line.
A few days ago while Colonel Brad
ley was in Fulton, his friend, the Rev.
Mr.. Wood, pastor of the Auxvasse
Presbyterian Church, introduced him
to "a family saddle horse" Colonel
Bradley Immediately mounted the
horse, when the parson slipped the
bride and the horse ran away. And
Colonel Bradley's particular friend, j..
C. King, says that the horse ran all
over Fulton and it was some ten or
fifteen minutes before the famous
horseback rider could stop him.
In answer to these allegations, Col
onel Bradley says the horse was lively
because it had been eating Checker
board Feed and was right on the job.

At COATS.
WORTH LUMBER YARD

Sometime early Sunday morning
robbers broke into the Coatswortn
Lumber Yard on North jefferson
Street, broke open large safe and
got away with $50 Liberty Bond
and about $50 in cash. A draft
amounting to $3.50 and large number
of checks were left in the safe. Mr.
Coatsworth discovered the burglarly
when he came down to the office Sun
day morning. 1t was first thought
that the door to the safe had been
blown open but number of tools,
chisel, crow bar, etc, were found on
the floor and it was later discovered
that the door had been pried open.
The Elk It" Shop on North Wash
ington Street of W. A. Clark was
also broken into and revolver stolen,
also the J. w. Coleman blacksmith
shop across the street was entered and
a number Of tools taken. These tools
were the same ones found in the lum-
ber yard and which the robber used
to break open the safe. 1t is supposed
they first broke into the Elk 1t" Shop
and procured the revolver and then
went to the blacksmith shop, and got
the tools with which TO commit the
robbery.
This is the first robbery to have been
in Mexico for a little more
than a week.

FLED $4,000 MILES TO FIGHT.

LONDON, April 24.-The British
Prisoners of War Committee, which is
endeavoring to trace some 5000 Tom
mics who have not yet returned from
German prison camps, recently made
remarkable discovery.
A Tommy, whom the Germans had
lost sight of, was found quite by
chance to be soldier in the American
army. Upon escaping from Germany
he either made his way to Scandinavia,
or through Siberia, catching a boat for
the United States where he enlisted
Immediately under his right name,
and was sent to France.
At the time of his enlistment he
gave no home address but said he was
an American. However, when he was
wounded in France he confessed his
English nativity, saying that he had
joined the Yanks so that he would not
have to 60 home with the stigma Of
having been captured by the Germans
hanging over his head.
The unaccounted-for British prison.
ers are slowly being traced. Many
made their way to the smaller states
of Middle Europe where they are now
reporting to Allied commissions.

TO WELCOME OUR BOYS.

IT has been suggested by several
Mexico and Audrain County citizens
that we give some kind of a reception
or celebration in honor of our boys
return. The majority Of our citizens
have, no doubt been waiting until the
return of all of the soldiers or at least
majority of them, before planning
anything big in the way Of recep-
tion.
The 35th Division has arrived in The
States, some of them are home and
others arriving here every day. The
seth Division is scheduled to arrive
here some time next month or the
first of June. This will bring the ma
jority of the Missouri contingent home
and will be the zero hour to pull off
the stunt. But it is high time that
the plans are under way. Our boys
have done their bit; have acquitted
themselves like men and certainly
there should be day Of holiday, a
day of thanksgiving for their return.
We owe them such an expression of
welcome that will make them feel thai
Audrain is glad they are back and
proud of the part they have played.
Several different programs have
been suggested. But one that appeals
most to any man and certainly to
these soldier lads, is a big feed or
banquet if you choose to call it. There
could also be procession composed
of all of the soldiers who have taken
any part whatever in this war, of
course, giving the wounded heroes and
the oversee boys the place of honor.
Then there could be speaking by the
soldiers themselves and by some noted
Missourian ,and finally treat in the
way of a show at the Orpheum. This
matter might easily be handled by the
Mexico Chamber of Commerce or
some other like body. But whatever
we do, if we are going to do anything, |
should be started now.

MARCHING MEN AND
FRAGILE BRIDGES

LONDON, April 24.-On many
temporary bridges in France it was
required that marching troops get out
of step so that the synchronized shock
of their marching would not imperil
the structure.
Some of the large bridges of Lon
don are similarly protected. The AL
bert suspension bridge over the
Thames from Chelsea to Battersea has
a large sign at either end reading:
Commanding officers of marching
troops will please have their meH
break step when proceeding over this
bridge"
This recalls statement of an Am
erican engineer that few of the large
bridges of the United States could re-
sist the strain of 40 or so automobiles
all starting at the same moment and
proceeding in the same direction.

ROCK ROADS TO MEXICO.

J. L. Maughs, of Fulton, showed
the editor of this papec the form Of
subscription petition which will be
circulated to secure funds foc the
rocking of the road between the Full
ton. Special Road District north to
the Audrain county line and joining
with the road which is to be rocked
in that county this summer.
There is much work being done on
the Audrain county end of the Mex
ico Fulton road. Three new concrete
bridges are being put in and cuts and
fills are being made at other places.
1t is understood that they are to go
forward with the work on this road
as rapidly as possible. The scarcity
of labor is delaying work of this kind
though it is hoped conditions will be
better later in the season.

CHORUS

Listen to the music-is it not sweet
Victory vibrating in every drum beat
Valor and honor shines on each brow.
Glorious, triumphant America is now
Baptized in Glory, in victory and ficc,
Each living soldier we must all admire
For helping to wrench from the ty-
rants grasp,
Liberty and honor and freedom at last.
In triumph and in glory every other
flag floats too.
In England, France and Italy in
Belgium-that's true.
But all the world bows down before
our great old Uncle Sam.
Who does not have to lift his hat 10

"Debarked, DeIoused, Delighted"

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April so
He was big, rangy soldier, typi-

the Nansemond with other members
of the 35th Division.
He had smiled broadly at the wei
come which had been accorded by
those on the pier, had enjoyed the feel
of American soil under his feet once
more.
He had partaken of a bountiful meal
and had passed through the plant
which separated him finally from his
bosom companions-the cooties.
Then his spirit of satisfaction bub-
bled over and he rushed to the tele-
graph. office and sent this message to
the folks back home:
