YOUR WORST ENEMY.



Here is a thought gathered witt
the shears from an exchange that is
TO the point and worthy Of the s-'ious
consideration Of everyone:
l am more powerful than the 'on.
bined armies Of the world.
I have destroyed mora men than
all the wars of the nations.
am more deadly than bullets, and
l have wrecked more homes than the
mightiest Of siege guns.
l steal in the United States alone
over $3O0,000,0 900 each year.
l spare no one, and I find my vic
tins among the rich and POOR alike,
the young and old, the strong and
weak, Widows and orphans know
me.
I climb up to such proportions that
l cast my shadow over every field Ct
labor from the turning Of the grind
stone to the moving Of every rail
road train.

g-as Of wage aaraar5 each year.

FOR FIRE

MEXICO is not theonly city in this
section Of Missouri to ne visited by a
number of fires lately. Columbia,
Fulton and other places have suffered
also.
Every precaution should be taken
to prevent fires in a city both in the
residence and business section. It
would not be a had plan at all to have
the business section visited regularly
by an inspector, says the Fire Chief,
and all hazards eliminated.
To protect your dwelling house the
following rules should be OBSERVED.
Keep the house, yard, AMI outbuild-
ings clear Of rubbish and infammable
material.
Have chimncys inspected and clean
ed defective chimncys cause NUM-

Use only safety (strike-on-the-boxJ
matches, Keep them out Of reach Of
children.
Never use gasoline in the house for
cleaning. Gasoline vapor is danger
Gus.
Keep a screen for all fireplace fires.
Do not s,s.rt bon-fres near fences,
houses or o~utbuildings.
See that proper fuses are installed
in electric circuits.
Over two-thirds Of dwelling fires
are said to be preventable.

FOR over forty years the Mexico
Ledger has been the Government
weather signal source for Mexico ana
adjoining territory. In Mexico the
weather indications are displayed by
means Of flags supplied the Ledger
by the government for this purpose
and which are arranged according to
kilograms from government weather
observers received at this office each
morning. Not a day passes that there
are not calls at this office inquiring
regarding the weather. These calls
come from Mexico and adjoining
towns and country. 1t is interesting
to note that Mexico is one If the few
cities it's size in this entire country
which has the advantage of the flag
signal service. Each evening the
Ledger publishes the weather fore
cast for the next day.

A MEXICO man, about January
first, bought a case Of whiskey Tor
$G5. This week he opened his goods"
acd took a drink. The noise end
racket he made after the first gulp
attracted his wife who rushed 20 his
side and found him searching hur-
riedly through the case. "What are
you looking for?" she asked. "The
brush" he replied. "Brush?' she said.
What do you want a brush fcr?"
why when you take a drink Of this
stuff you should have a brush tc
sweep a clean place in the corner in
which to have a fit" was his husky
rejoinder as he hurried to the kitchen
sink for a chaser. The remainder Of
the case will be preserved as a ,ur-
iosity for future generations to lock
upon and consider the strange ';qlid
of the past as well as the abstemious
powers of their ancestors who had it
at hand but would not use it.

Something Asout olives.

Like other fruit trees, the olive tree
has many enemies, including birds and
insects. The most dreaded Of these
is a small fly called dacus elcoe, half
the size of house fly. It is calculated
that a single fly will destroy SEQ or
400 olives. The only remedy is to
gather the fruit early, and by crushing
it at once destroy the larvae.
