In recognition of the work of the
Salvation Army an ong the boys in
the front line trenches of France and
Belgium, the American Legion of
Kentucky has given unqualified en-
dorsement to the Second Salvation
Army Home Service Appeal, May 10
May 20.
The boys Of the American Legion
have not forgotten the hardships
shared with them by the girls who
cooked doughnuts and pies while
the scream Of shells and shrapnel
made the nights an inferno. They
have not forgotten the women who
braved the machine sun f,rs Of the
Germans to carry hot eofsee to the
fighters during the sero nights,
Many Of those sirla who shaaldered
the-bis heavy water yokes. with ten
gallon CARRIERS Of hot eogas swung
ffem each end are still In France
their graves marked by the eress Of
Honor and among the neppy tialds
of Flanders.
Commander ulrie ]. Ball, Of the
American Legion has sent the fol-
lowing letter to J. Paul Swain, State
Director Of the Salvation Army APP
peal:
My Dear Mr.. swain:- Attention OF
the Executive Committee of the
American Legion of Kentucky hav-
ing been called to the present CAM
paign of the Salvation Army for

that body to address to you this
communication In which the Amer
ioln Legion officially recognizes the
Salvation Army as an organization
to which the American people gener
ally aud service men In particular,
owe great debt OF gratitude. 1t
will not be necessary for the Amer
lean Legion to say to the former sol
dier that the Salvation Army is a
good thing and deserves support.
il is already we'll known to you that
Johnny Buck" has learned to re-
spect the sally Ann" under a stress
that has tried the souls of both.
Your soldiers of the Salvation Army
shared common, during the late way
the same risks and dangers faced
by those who now make up the
American Legion. Friendship form
cd IN that crucible will endure be-
yend any artificial bolstering.
I 1t is the hope of the State Depart
ment Of the Legion that the Saliva

est SUCCESS In its work and It's COM
yietion that eAe hundred and twenty
units of The American Legion thru
out Kentucky will stand shoulder to
shoulder with the Army in all good
things. Yours very truly,

MAY DAY CELEBRATIoN


On the morning OF May LIST. at
Z o'clock the students OF Union Col
,ege ascended to the roof OF Steven
son Hail and sang a number OF old
hymns which carried older people
back in memory to churches in other
cities and counties. The singing
was very pleasing and should be re-
peated with profit.
AS the strains of Holy, Holy,
Holy, Lord God Almighty" rang
thru the air.a the Editor was carried
back in spirit to a church, the spire
of which pierced the air to height
of 293 feet-a church with a great in
terror, and stained glass windows
which depicted scenes in the life
of the Savior. Then as a wonderful
organ breaks the reverent stiffness
of the House OF God twenty7four
white robed boys and eighteen white
robed men come forth, their voices
raised in the glorious professional, /,
"IIoly, Holy. Holy, Lord Cod AL
mighty" the volume OF sound being
Immediately swelled by the voices
of two thousand worshippers. Every
hymn sung by Union College stud
Iants might have been hymns chos-
en- for the morning service in this
same church where Tennyson, the
poet worshipped in the days of his
boyhood and where today. high and
low, rich and poor. stand or kneel
before the Lord God Almighty to Of
fer praise or prayer,
The opening Of the tloodgates Of
memory which carried the Editor
back to such a scene, also strength
ened his belief that every child
should have the benefit of a deeply
seated reverence for the name of the
Lord God Almighty. Such q rever-
cnce will help him to keep straight

THE POWER OF PUBLICITY.

PEOPLE recognize the power Of
publicity and what it can accomplish
though they frequently overlook the
fact that it is what the newspaper
manufactures and sells.
Recently we solicited an advertise
ment from a resident of Mexico but
could not interest him at that time,
He said we might call later and he
would likely be ready to do business
Then he suggested we write an edit
orial along a certain line which, as he
evidently failed to notice, was just
what we were trying to sell him space
to tell the people about.
He went further and stated that an
editorial Of this character would GER
tainly be a good thing. We thought
so too but inasmuch as it touched
directly upon his business and would
most likely at least several hun
bred dollars in increased trade we
hardly saw our way clear to contri-
butte on this occasion.
A newspaper, that is properly con-
Quoted, is always glad to take part in
a public movement. Every year it.
contributes thousands Of dollars worth
Of space to public enterprises and does
so gladly, But when it comes to pri-
vate enterprises it can hardly afford
to make such contributions and con-
tinue publication.

THE CALAMITY HOWLER.

-
REGARDLESS Of the fact that he
probably thinks political economy
/ refers to the purchase of votes at the
ro!Is for the least money there are
| some todaywhoare joiningthe class Of
the leather ngedcalamityhowle and
predicting revolution, the bottom fall
ing out of prices and the country in
general going to the bow-wows.
The period of defation is most
likely in its inception but that prices
are going to take a sudden fall, rev.
olution is upon us and general condi-
tons will 1907 be chaotic is the word
of the ignorant prophet who delights
in his own voice.
Students Of political economy, who
have the records Of history including
invaluable statistics at hand talk
otherwise. They are not infallible
but they have past performances to
base their deductions upon which,
with a knowledge of worldwide con-
ditions, qualities them to make a
statement that should be accepted
with at least some credance.
Prices are going to fall. But it will
be gradually and not in a night. The
time for this change may be here
but the 20 per cent discount sales Of
the master merchants Of the land are
not necessarily an indication of what
we may expect generally. They are
simply a business move most likely to
reduce large stocks in the hope that
in the near future replacement prices
will be lower. Business, to a great
degree, and especially now, is a gam
bic. II it were a certainty everyone
would be in it. Mexico merchants,
who are among the best in the state,
are tuyirg carefully but with the as
surance Of the wholesaler that prices,
for the great part, will be higher this
fall on many commodities.
So don't get excited. There is a
reason for every market change and
every economical condition. 1t only
requires a little thought and study to
find the answer.
As soon as there is a downward
trend in prices Mexico merchants will
give the Eeople the chance to take ad-
vantage Of them. 1t will be several
years at least and probably more be-
fore prices will return to what they
wei in 1914 if they ever do. After
the civil war it was a matter Of al
most fifteen years for this change
to take place. So govern yourself
accordingly. Refuse to let the cal
amity bowler excite you and like a
sturdy, stable American citizen keep
the ship Of state and business or an
even keel. You should do your part
to bring prices down but it takes
moro than instructed, s~uperheated
ozone to accomplish this. The only
correct plan to solve this problem is
for everyone Of US to work together
along the lines which will develop in
the weeks to come. The law of sup
ply and demand may grind slowly but
it's grist is exceedingly fine.

MEXICO should have an automobile
club. Such an organization, as the
Ledger has pointed out in the past,
could obtain many benefits for motor
lists as we'll as eliminate many abuses
and road evils motor car drivers suffer
from. An Audrain County Automo-
bile Club, with headquarters in Mex
leo would be one Of the most powerful
elements for road Improvement alone
that could possibly materialize. We
should not allow another summer to
pass without such a body being organ
lied.
