'tun1ty to save OF any of the worlds
nations. We have food, clothing and
money-all the good things in life
But we must make the basis of this
prosperity secure. Saving makes the
future prosperity of the individual
safe. At the same time it supplies
money to the Government with which
the whole national structure can be
so strengthened that we will not have
to lose or forego our general pros
perity.
with these appeals there is also,the
fact that America must loan money
to other nations if those nations are
to continue to buy goods in the United
States and by so doing give steady
employment to our industrial and
agricultural workers. During the war
while we were supplying the world,
our production expanded tremendous.

kets if we are to keep up that produc-
ton rate. We must hold foreign mar
kets or undergo such a slackening in
manufacture and agriculture that
every individual will suffer.
Much of the money loaned through
investment in War Savings Stamps
will go to meet the overwhelming war
expense which remains to be paid.
Much of the rest will go to foreign
nations as credits with which they
can buy of us and keep the home

A Permanent Force.
The War Savings societies formed
this year will probably become an in
creasingly important factor in financ-
ing the United States when the per-
1od for Liberty Loans has passed Ac-
cording to Mr. Rogers, the Treasury
Department plans to make the socie-
ties permanent so far as possible and
to keep War Savings Stamps on sale
as a means whereby every Individual
can save with security at the same
time that he is adding to the Govern
ment's income. Not the least ad7an-
tage Of such a plan will be a material
reduction of taxes in coming years in
so far as the total of many small saw
1ngs defrays the heavy national ex-
pense we must carry as a result Of
the war.

WAR WON, BUT NOT ENDED
Gronna Says Eeadiustment DAYS
Need Aid Of Every Citizen.

Statement by United States Senator
AISLE ]. 'Gronna, of North Dakota:
The war has been woi. but has not
ended. The days of reimbursement will
demand the cooperation and intelli-
gent aid OF every loyal American citf-
zen. Money must be raised to defrav
war bills which will worry the guar
dams OF the nations financial destinv
fof some time to come.
patriotic, constructive aid can be
rendered the Government now by even
the smallest wage Garner, and in such
manner as to make his patriotic Of
tort boomerang Of good fortune. The
Government is urging American citi-
zens to continue the purchase of War
Savings and Thrift Stamps and other
Government securities, to help raise
money to defray expenses which at
present are even heavier than those
which arose while the war was on. Our
financial stability must be maintained,
our credit must remain unimpaired.
j heartily approve of the Govern
ment's plan to spread the gospel of
thrift in every home throughout the
land. The purchase Of War Savings
and Thrift Stamps is PRACTICAL man
Hesitation of thrift The likeness Of
Benjamin Franklin which appears up
on the new issue is indeed significant,
and homage should be paid to him by
every citizen by investing in Govern.
ment securities, thereby laying the
foundation for the national spirit of
thrift which l believe the war has in
culcated in many who formerly did
not know the meaning of the word"

Statement by Speaker Champ Clark of
Missouri:
1T goes without saying that there
must and will be another big Bond Is
sue. Having put our hands to the
olow we must not look back. We can
not afford to. Because while the world
war is really over, it is not technically
ended until President Wilson issues a
proclamation to that effect. We still
nave huge army overseas and while
It should be brought home as soon as
ships can bring our soldiers back, un-
Ill they get back, they must be fed and
clothed and otherwise cared for. It
would be an everlasting shame not to
10 that. So people should subscribe
Tor the impending loan and purchase
War Savings Stamps as readily and
literally as they subscribed for past
oans. It's for the support of our SOL
aiers and nothing is too good for
hem"

Many ranches produced a bail to the
acre here last year and sold for SO
cents per pound or about $500 per
acre, and the entire valley averaged
fully one half bail per acre.
The Roosevelt dam was constructed
by the government at a cost of about
eleven million dollars and is the iarg-
est body of artificial surface water
in the United States if not in the whole
world. The government is now hand
ing the entire project yer to the prop
erty owners at actual cost and carry
ing charges.
We almost forgot to say that
ges and grape fruit are also produced
here in great quantities. The little
club house where we are stopping is
in the very midst of olive, orange and
grape fruit orchids. From the orange
ranch of eighty acres the management
this year actually sold S77,650 worth
of oranges and has left for the guests
rows and rows of trees laden to the
very ground with oranges which all
guests are privileged to pick and eat
free of charge day or night.
The climate is perfect almost the
year around. There is of course no
rain at this season. One needs double
blankets every night, a warm sweater
until ten o'clock in the forenoon but
from ten to five o'clock one is most
comfortable in ones shirt sleeves.
This state would be a fine field for
some of the ambitious boys and girls
of Audrain who expect to teach school
because the lowest salaries paid in the
country districts, where there are not
more than Is to 20 children are $95 Or
$500 per month, and in the grade
schools they are of course much high
er.
Lest this letter becomes too long,
l will say good bye for this time, and
yet l want to add that one of III
closest neighbors is Vice-President
Marshall, who owns his own home here
and spends part of each year in it.
We had a delightful visit of two hours
with him and Mrs. Marshall yesterday,
and found they were Democratic in
every way just as one of the old fash
toned school of Democracy who sud
denly finds himself promoted to high
office. Mrs. Marshall is much inter
ested in child welfare work and hopes
to be able shortly to adopt such chill
dren fro milne to time, restore them
to health and then return them to
their parents. The Vice-President
talked very freely in public questions
and heartily endorses the idea Of a
League of Nations in the hope that it
will reduce if not prevent international
| wars in the future.
With kindest regards to all my
friends in good old Audrain which
shall always regard as my home, l am
Very sincerely,

DESERTER, HEIR TO
$4,000, 900, CAPTURED

l. KANSAN CITY, Mo-, March 90
Gordon Reed Patterson, a prisoner SER
| wing a f~ive-year sentence for desertion
! in the Federal Disciplinary Barracks
at Leavensworth, Kan, who escaped
from the barracks late Tuesday as a
result of what the authorities declare
to have been a prearranged plan to
free him, was captured in Kansas City,
Kansas, Wednesday night,
He was returned to Leavenworth
Thursday to face court-martial, Capt.
S. L. A. Humason of the Disciplinary
f! Barracks said this evening. Four 9TH
her men, declared to have been involved
in the alleged conspiracy, and who
were arrested here Tuesday, also will
be returned to Leavenworth, Capt.
Humason said. Three of the prisoners
were released recently from the bar
racks and the fourth is a sergeant of
the guard at the barracks, whom one
of the men, in a detailed statement to
the authorities late Wednesday, charg-
ed was the principal figure in the
scheme to free Patterson.
The participants, the statement
said, had been promised money by
Patterson, who is reported to have
been notified recently that he had fall
len heir to an estate of $5,000,00 at
St. Paul through the death of an uncle.
According to the statement, the SER
geant of the guard entered the record
room at the barracks, to which he had
access, and destroyed Patterson's fin
gerprints, his photographs and other
Identification matter. A wall guard
who had been bribed, the statement
continued, allowed Patterson to scale
the wall and make his way outside.
He was to have met his alleged ac-
completes, who were to have driven
from Kansas City in a motor car.
From Kansas City, the statement said,
Patterson and the sergeant were to
have gone to California on military
transportation the sergeant is declared
to have forged.
The alleged plan miscarried at this
| end with a chauffeur, whom the men
had approached in regard to making
the trip to Leavenworth, informed the
police, and the arrests followed.

CAPTAIN LYNN WEBB
BACK FROM FRANCE
is LOOKING WELL

Captain Lynn Webb who has been
with the $50 Infantry of the 89th Div
ision has returned to Mexico after
nine months overseas service. Mrs,
Webb met her husband in New York
and returned with him.
In talking to a representative of the
Ledger Monday morning Captain
Webb refused to say very much about
his experiences.
Il have been over, seen active SER
vice, had a wonderful experience and
the best thing about it all, am glad to
get back" This is the way he summed
it up Monday. But Captain Webb saw
active service on the st. Mihiel and
Algonne Forest fronts and doubt
less could tell some thrillers if he
would thaw out a little.
He was in active service from Aug
ust l to November IL, 1918 and says
that most of the Mexico and Audrain
boys are with the seth and 35th div
isions. The latter is scheduled to leave
FOR the States in April, according to
him and the seth in June.
He tells of seeing Captain Bill
C~oatsworth another Mexico boy who
YVES with his same regiment. Captain
Coatsworth, he says is anxious to get
hack.
Captain Webb saw nine days SER
vice in France. He entered the First
Officers Training Camp at Fl. Riley
receiving his commission as First
Lieutenant, and went over with the
seth. He was commissioned a Cap
tain while in the service.
Captain Webb's home is in Kansas
City and he and his wife expect to go
there within a week or so. He is look
ing fine and says he never felt better.
He saw two weeks service in Germany
along the Rhine gathering information
for the government.
Mrs. Webb was Miss Mildred john
son before her marriage.

H. C. HILL HERE IN
INTEREST OF F|SH.LAW

H. C. Hill, deputy game warden for
the Ninth Congressional District, has
been in Mexico for several days in the
interest of House Bill GAS relating to
the $1.00 combined hunting and fish
ing license. Legislation of this nature
is very necessary according to Mr..
Hill, for reason that fishing in certain
parts of this state is about played cut
on account of no fish.
With this law, sufficient revenue
will be derived to restock all of the
streams and ponds of the State. Mr..
Hill informs the Ledger that four new
fish hatcheries are to be established.
He finds the hunters almost unanim-
Gus in favor of the combination. Ex-
elusive fishermen favor it for the rea-
son that with plenty of spawn planted
in state waters, there will be plenty
of fish. This law will not cost the
State anything and will work no hard
ship on the individual. Women and
children will be exempted.
Mr.. Hill is very much in hopes that
our representatives will give this bill
their most careful consideration and
pass it. Missouri has more streams
adapted to game fish than any other
state in the Union and there is no
reason why, with legislation of this
character our State cannot rank with
| California and Colorado, both of which
have laws of similar nature.
The $1.00 entities one to both hun
ter's and fishers license. AS the law
now is, according to Mr.. Hill, the
hunters are paying for the cost of
protecting the fish in this state and the
fisherman doesn't have to pay any
thing. The new law would make those
who fish pay a license just the same
as those who hunt. This would give
he state more revenue and the fish
better protection.
Mr.. Hill left Friday for Vandaiia
where he will continue to work in the
interest of this bill.

J. S. M'INTYRE WRITES
INTERESTING LETTER
FROM PHOENIX, ARIZ.
Former Mexico Man is Making Tour
of the Pacific Coast With
His Wife.

]. S. Mcintyre formerly of Mexico
now a prominent attorney of st. Louis.
is making an extended tour with his
wife of the Pacific Coast, Hawiian Is,
land and other points of interest. He
is writing a series of letters to his old
home paper The Ledger which will
prove of interest to everyone through
out the state, especially to his Aud
rain friends.
Following lis the first of the series:
Col. R. M. white
Mexico, Mo.
Dear Colonel Bob
Ingleside Club, Phoenix, Arizonia.-
having been compelled in account of
i'll health, to abandon temporarily the
practice of law, Mrs. Mcintyre and l
stopped off here for a few weeks on
VI way to the Pacific Coast.
This is a very interesting country
indeed, and is so different in climate,
people and products from what bne
is accustomed to in dear old Missouri
that one can easily imagine that one
is no longer in the United States.
AS one approaches Phoenix, which
is two hundred and forty miles from
Ash Fork on the main line of the San
ia Fe, and about one hundred and
fifty miles from the Mexican border,
one suddenly steps from the dry brown
desert into a green beautiful valley.
This entire valley is known as Salt
River Valley, which name | am sure
is familiar to all your readers in gen.
eral as well as those in whom it may
revive unpleasant political memories;
viz myself, Taylor Berry and others
too numerous to mention.
Phoenix has a population of about
thirty thousand, many of whom were
forced to come west for their health
and have remained permanently and
acquired large property holding and
are today worthanywhere from twenty
thousand dollars to a million. The
town itself is not a typical Western
town like Albuquerque, but much
more up-to-date with splendid con-
crete buildings, especially all school
and other public buildings. The inhab-
itants are largely Eastern people with
a lot of Mexicoans both in the city
and on the ranches. These Mexicans
true to traditions, are always lazy
filthy and deceitful. They never ac-
emulate anything because just a;
soon as they get ten dollars ahead
they quit work until they are dead
broke again.
Until very recently dairying was the
leading industry but with the compile
ton of the Roosevelt Dam the irriga-
ton system became a reality and ove1
two hundred thousand acres of barren
land became one of the most fertile
valleys to be found anywhere. The
chief farm products are alfalfa and
cotton. You will be surprised, per.
haps to learn that the best cotton Of
the entire United States is grown here
1t is very similar to the Egyptian oil
South Sea Island cotton and far more
valuable than the cotton grown in thu
Southern States, because it has mucl
longer staple and accordingly sell,
fifteen to twenty per cert higher thar
the cotton of Texas or Arkansas

You Can Stop That Cough.

Do not imagine that because you
have tried various remedies without
any permanent benefit that your
cough is incurable. Bear in mind that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
cured others, lots of them why not
