TOURISTS
COMING IN
EVERY DAY

Since the Mexico Chamber of Com
mcrce financed the marking of the
Golden Belt Route through Audrain
county and the North State Highway
across Audrain there has been a no.
ticeable increase in the number of
motor tourists visiting this city.
Not day passes that at least from
a half dozen to twenty motor cars fill
ed with tourists halt in this city or
pass through stopping here for gas
or meals. The Golden Belt route is
one that comes through Missouri
from the far west while the North
State Highway is a state road only.
Within few weeks a drive for
membership in the Pershing Way will
be held in this county for the purpose
of securing the route through Aud
rain. This road runs from Canada to
the Gulf and promises to be the
greatest north and south highway in
the United States.
Part of the road has already been
secured in this and other states.
What is required to secure it is
membership for three years by some
II men along the route through Aud
rain.
The road is being advertised widely,
magazine is published in its behalf
and before spring, should Audrain
succeed in securing the Pershing Way
the road will be marked. On that
part which is already in operation
tourist traffic is said to be unusually
heavy.

Coal Shortage
A Serious
Menace Here

With winter almost here and fuel
shortage staring us in the face the
situation locally is considered rather
discouraginE. We presume the con-
dition is orc that is general but Just
at present, with the prospects of
cold winter in front of us, we are ma
lerially Interested in Mcxico's coal
possibilities.
An official Of the Mexico Power
Co., stated that they have been work.
ing since May to secure coal enough
to store in case there should develop
a strike or any other cventuaity that
might halt the shipments of fuel for
period and endanger the continued
operation of the local utilities COM
pany.
So far they have been unable to
Sc ure coal to store. In fact even
this week their coal supply was so
low that they became greatly dis
turbed over the prospect of continu-
ing operation.
We understand quite a number of
private families ARD without their
winters fuel and that shipments to
the local manufacturing plants come
only in small car lots.
just what the cold weather vii de-
velop along this line is not known
but some uneasiness is felt regarding
fuel shortage here when the mer-
curry falls and the demand grows.

but felt it would be a great political
mistake to attempt to take the throne
without the aid of the Allies.
