MEXICO RED CROSS
IN ANNUAL MEETING

The Mexico branch of the Audrain
chapter of the Red Cross held its an
nual meeting at the Hardin Hut Tues
day evening at 1880.
Reports read by the chairmen of the
different committees, show that good
work has been done. The treasurer re-
ported expenditures of $4,6S9.99, leav-
ing balance of $1,127.2S on hand.
The Executive Committee was elect
ed and will be composed of the follow
ing members: Mrs. ]. T. Johnson,
Mrs. Harry Atchison, Mrs. C. E.
Leeper, Mrs. W. C. Johnson, Miss
Mamie Dix, Miss Annie Lewis, and the
Rev. G. E. Wharton.
John Barclay made an earnest and
appealing talk for the Red Cross work
in France as he knew from his exper-
fences over there. He again and again
told of how the Red Cross was always
on the job, when soldiers would enter
town, cold, hungry, and without
smokes. Mr.. Barclay was appointed
chairman of the Roll Call which will
be held in this city Nov. 2-11. 90
This Roll Call is practically the same
as the membership drives that have
been conducted in December of prev
ious years. All members of the Red
Cross are urged to pay dues for an
other year; and new members may en-
roll The money obtained in this way,
VIII. be used for the peace program, 10
alleviate any suffering or catastrophe
that may come up, as in the case of the
Corpus Christi disaster recently, when
the Red Cross came to the front and
furnished such splendid assistance.
The local Red Cross chapter has lit
ted up rooms over the W. H. Uphan
music store, and Mrs. Charlotte Kunze,
is now conducting four night classes
and two afternoon clases in home nur-
sing each week. She has fifty pupils
in all.
The third Thursday of each month is
devoted to baby clinics where mothers
can bring their children and have
them examined free of charge.

COUNTY. MISSOURI. THURSDAY, OCTOBER ls 1919
1878 VALUATION OF
COUNTY IS S17,Q58.07O

The returns of the state board of
equalization showing the assessed val
uation of Audrain county have been
received by Countp Clerk, Ross B.
Cauthorn, and shows grand total of
$17,O58,O7O.
Last year the total was $13, ,7S8,362
making a gain of little over three
and a quarter million dollars. Most
of the gain is in the read and personal
property of the citizens but the public
service corporations and merchants
show marked increase in valuation.
Over half the valuation of public
service corporations is against the C.
& A. railroad and roads leased by it.
Real and personal property of all
classes is assessed at s14,373,6 $40 as
against $11 1885, 800 of last year. The
railroads, telegraph and telephone
companies are assessed $2,197 200 as
against $2,O51, 1877 in 1918. The mer-
chants tax valuation last year was
1897 PTS and this year amounts to
$487 200, a gain of almost a hundred
thousand dollars.
The C. & A. railroad on its property
in the county is assessed a valuation
of $1,16l,177 the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy, $252,O32; the Wabash,
$594,275. The Southwestern Bell Tela-
phone Company, is assessed at a valu-
alton of $104,437, the Western Union
telegraph Company at $G5,832.
The board of equalization fixes the
valuation of the public service corpor-
alton in the state and this year raised
the reported valuations turned in by
the companies on an average of about
twelve per cent. The raise in Audrain
county however, was only about ten
per cent.
The total tax from personal and real
properties assessment will be $780,
144 this year, and the merchants tax
s10,897 as against $8,34S for 1918.
Part of this increase in the merchants
tax is explained by the twenty per cent
increase raising the tax about a thou
sand dollars. The rest is due to the
increasing number of merchants in the
county. The railroad Iaxes for this
year have not been extended but will
probably be about ten per cent high er
than last year when they amounted to
$29 $40. The telephone and telegraph
taxes in 1918 were $2,720.

DANISH CATARRH
Breathe Hyomci for Two Minutes and
Relieve Stuffed Up Head.

If YOU want to get relief from
cattarh, cold in the head or from an
irritating cough in the shortest time
breath HyOmci.
1t should clean out your head in two
minutes and allow you to breathe
freely.
Hyomci often ends cold in one
day, it will relieve YOU of disgusting
snuffles hawking, splitting and often
sve breath in a week.
Hyomei is made chiefly from a sooth-
ing, healing, antiseptic that comes
from the eucalyptus forests of inland
Australia where catarrh, asthma and
consumption were never known to
exist.
Hyomei is pleasant and easy to
breathe. Just pour few drops into
the hard rubber Inhaler use as direct
ed and relief is almost certain.
A complete Hyomei outfit, including
inhaler and one bottle of Hyomei,
costs but little at druggists every

Co. If YOU already own an inhaler you
can get an extra bottle of Hyomei at
