A STANDARD OF PRACTICE.

ALL progressive professions are es-
tablishing a Standard of Practice SO
why not the Amalgamted order OF
Prolonged and Marathonic Gum Chew
ers?
This ~populous pastime is suffering
from lack of proper direction. The
once popular practice of boarding the
slightly molared cud by secreting it
upon some vantage point on the par
lor mantle has been succeeded by the
custom Of resting it under the seat at
the movies or along the edge of the
pew at church.
This promiscuous policy tends to
interfere materially with the proper
identification of ones "wad." There
is danger that you may secure the
parked Yucatan Of some other member
Of the organization or that some care
less person may sit down on it and
carry away your Juicy fruit" on their

public buildings gum lockers where
each devotee could check their chicle
until it was next needed. Sanitary
paper containers in the home would
conserve, under healthful conditions,

THERE has never been a road pro-
ject suggested here that met with
half the approval which the State
Highway Commissions plan for i'm
proving the North State Highway east
from this city has. In not only means
the saving of much of the taxpayers
money in the work but eliminates a
dangerous passage under the Alton
tracks which has always been a traffic
menace and one of the most dangerous
places on the entire highway. The
North State Highway through Mexico
was practically an abandoned highway
by the State until those interested in
its maintenance took the matter up
with the Commission and proved the
value of this section Of road to the
State highway. We trust that before
the summer is over the work on this
section of road and the passageway
under the Alton tracks will be we'll

Sugar Price Soaring.

The price Of sugar continues to ad-
vance and according to R. R. Wagner,
of the local branch of the Haas-Lieber
Grocery Co., it will likely reach a
price of from 80 to IS cents a pound
in 'teh not far distant future. The
recent three cars Of sugar received by
the Haas-Lieber Gro. Co., lasted but
a short time as the demand is heavy
and this branch supplies over 500 GUS
toners in a territory $50 miles square.
Besides the railroad strike has inter-
fered with shipments making it neces-
sary to aid other large distributors
from the local shipment.

NINTH DISTRICT FALLS SHORT.
Unofficial Information Says POpula-
ton Of This Locality is $4,000
Less.

There are $4,000 fewer people in the
Ninth Congressional District of Mis-
souri, this year than there were ten
years ago, according to unofficial in
formation which has been given out as
coming from Howard Ellis, who vas
census supervisor Of this territory.
Official figures have been published
for very few of the cities and towns
in the Ninth District, and all reports
up to date are based on speculation.
No reports on any of the towns in
Audrain County have as yet been re-
ceived. Figures for more cities and
towns in this state than any other
have been reported and the general
average Of increase is said to be about
thirteen per cent, which is nine per
cent less than the average rate of in
crease for the nation during the time
between any two census years.
Charlottesville, in southeast Mis-
souri,, has shown an increase of thirty
per cent, the largest of any town in
this state heard from up to date. The
small towns which depend chiefly
upon agriculture for their support,
seem barely to have held their own.
