TODAY AND

REGARDLESS of the vaunt-
ed civilization today we find in a
Havana, Cuba, Post, sent to us
this week by J. A. Glandon, of
this city, a dispatch from Mat
anzas, Cuba, telling how five
witches were killed by a mob
there while attempting to es-
cape.
In Kansas City this week a
negro woman called on a Judge
asking that something be done to
her husband who had cut off her
hair and taken it to a doctor"
to have a spell cast over her.
Some there are who wear am
Der beads to keep off asthma and
others resort to similar proph-
elactics to guard them.
1t hasn't been so long ago that
pokeberries wer used to make
plasters for cancer and grape
vine sap was the popular hair
tonic. The berry of the magnol-
la was said to be a sure cure for
consumption.
1t was only a few years ago,
until physicians proved other
wise, that many believed some
of our greatest writer's did their
best literary work under the in
tiuence Of liquor.
Those were the good old
days Today science has elm
mated many of our pet super
stitions although some of us in
sist on tapping wood three
times" refusing to walk under a
ladder and shaking with fear
when the black cat crosses our

CONDITIONS THAT ARE BAD.

AMERICAS participation in the
European war should have taught Old
Mexico something.
Perhaps the government there's not
sufficiently strong to discontinue
covert acts on the part of it's cit
liens.
1t may vet be necessary to enter the
domain south of US and teach a les
son. We had hoped war was over but
such an expedition would end it for
all time to come in that section.
The Bolsheviki of Russia, who are
situated somewhat as Mexico as re-
CARDS government, only much more so,
are writing of reprisaIs against US
for not allowing the spread of Bo!she-
vism in this country.
In any country where muscle rather
than brains predominates in govern
ment reason and intelligence need not
expect . hearing, Only force can be
understood or masurs of a similar
sort.
Bo,2hevism will not gain a footh2ld
in America. God has been good to us
in that only a small percentage of our
citizenship, and that imported from
overseas mostly, is solid ivory from
he eyes upward.
We believe Bo.2hevism and similar
ceds, if they can be designated as
tch, will die Ct their own v~oljtion
}oncr Or Later, We must be on our
uard against them but with the Uni
ted States awake to these evils they
car gain no foothold here.
Time viii show the proper attitude
for the United States to take con-
corning yhcsc two evils and when that
time 500 IS they MUST BEWARE.

WE MUST HAVE VISION.
GEORGE K. NICKERsON. ca.

GEORGE K. NICKERSON, cam
paign manager for the Half Million
Hardin College Expansion Campaign,
in his splendid address Thursday even
ing at the Lets Get Started" dinner,
made the following pertinent sugges-
tons that touch intimately community
life and its growth on large and ex-
pansive lines. His words follow:
WHERE THERE is NO VISION,
THE PEOPLE PERISH.
If the public is to begin thinking a
right about it's WI future, this fun
damental fact must be kept clearly to
the front:
ALL BUSINESS VALUES AND
ALL PROFESSIONAL VALUES
THAT EXIST IN ANY CITY ARE
MADE BY THE SPIRIT OF ITS CIT
IZENS.
And the is equally true;
Whatever potential values are absent
from a given community are missing
because the spirit of that community
has never prompted effort to procure
! or develop them.
| In short, SPIRIT is the propulsive
| elemnt in mankind, and it is the I'M
folding of Spirit in a community that
attracts and developes the kind Of
men that builds empires and rules
states.
Real estate whether city property or
county farm lands increase in value
primarily for two distinct reasons;
the rapidity with which the population
increases plus improvements. Why is
Illinois or California farm lands val
used higher than yours here in the
heart of Missouri in Audrain county i?
AN IDEAL CITY
A city sanitary, convenient, sub
! stantial;
Where the houses of the rich and
the poor are alike comfortable and
beautiful;
Where the streets are clean and the
sky line is clear as country air;
Where the architectural excellence
of its buildings adds beauty and dig
nity to its streets;
Where parks and Fairgrounds are
within reach of every child;
Where living is pleasant, toll honor
/ able, and recreation plentiful;
Where capital is respected, but not
wonshipped;
Where commerce in goods is great,
but no greater than the interchange
of IDEAS;
Where industry thrives and brings
prosperity alike to employer and en-
ployed;
Where education and art have a
place in every home;
Where worth and not wealth give
standing to men;
Where the power of character lifts
men to leadership;
Where interest in public affairs is
a test of citizenship and devotion to
the public welfare is a badge of honor;
Where government, is always honest
and efficient and the principles of
democracy find their fullest and truest
expression;
Where the people Of all the earth
can come and be blended into n COM
munity life, and where each gener-
alton will vie with the past to trans
nit to the next, a city greater, better
and more beautiful than the last.

GOOD ROADS MAKE
FARM VALUES BETTER

Good roads, coal, farm agents and
Boy Scouts make the following letter
from Roy Ferris, of this city, who is
mining coal in Ohio, of interest here.
Mr.. Ferris was president of the Cham
Der of Commerce at one time and is
well known here. His letter is of uni
versal interest.
Dear Mitch:
June g., 1919.-Am making a little
trip through some Indiana towns, look
ing up a little coal business. l am no
prophet but l honestly believe that
coal will be as scarce and as high as
last year. About 20 per cent of the
usual amount was mined since the
war closed, owing to wei production
during the war and the warm wea-
Their.
l didn't realize good roads make
such a differnce on farm values. The
average Indiana farm where the land
is level and in most cases where it is
not, sells from 5000 to $3.50 per acre.
l asked the reason of this, nearly
every acre around Mexico is just as
good or better. Many of these Indiana
farms are red with clay and they
pointed to the excellent roads, for the
answer.
The roads are mostly gravel, no
high priced brick or cement but just
plain river gravel, shipped in from
river beds. The roads cost something
like a thousand to fifteen hundred
dollars per mile, not quite as good as
brick but are good the year around.
Another thing that adds, l am told
TO farm values, is the condensed milk
factories. They say one good milk
factory adds as much as $500 per
acre within 20 to 30 miles on every
side.
The milk is collected in 10 gallon
cans by auto trucks every day. And
now I am going to make a confession,
| took so little interest in our farm
advisor while | was a member of the
Commercial Club. Well these people
would almost rather do without the
doctor as the County Agent or Adj
visor. The boy scouts in fact many
other boys are taking advantage Of
the liberal offer many banks are offer
ing the boys. They give each boy who
can prove his "trust-worthiness' a
fine bred gilt pig, and in return claim
two of the offspring. These pigs you
may be sure are we'll taken care of.
A young scout was very much en-
barrased the other day to find that
like Mary's lamb, a mother Poland
China with nine squeezing, grunting
little pigs had followed her young
master to school.
do hope someone is looking after
the scout organization at 'home.'
Say wouldn't it make interesting
reading ONE time to make a list of
the little khaki clad scouts of yester-
day, who built scout cabins, at Harris
farm, talked Mrs. Harris out of many
a cherry pie and won fame and honor
in France and in camps ready for for
eign service.
| attended a called meeting of bus
mess men at an Indiana town the
other day, for the purpose of inviting
the Chicago Tile Co., to locate one of
their many plants there. The clay
having played out where this plant
was located. All they asked was
good will' and an assurance of plenty
of clay. | thought to myself, Mexico
is chuck full of both, so you might ask
the secretary to write them as it was
a question whether the proposed site
had enough clay,
