ARE RAPIDLY
DRIVING HITCHRACK AND
BLACKSMITH FROM MEXICO

Just a few years ago, said an OBJ
servant resident of Mexico, the old
hitch lot on North Washington street
used to be fairly jammed on Saturday
afternoons. Everyone from the
country met everyone else there and
knew they would meet them if they
came to town.
Now a big change has taken place,
says this resident. The old lot is no
longer crowded, nor does it v seem
likely that it will be again. The gen.
tie horse has been replaced by the
fivver and the automobile, whose
owners now come to town for a hasty
bushes trip, park around the square,
if they stay that long and then hasten
back to tehir worwk or an evenings
entertainment elsewhere.
With the hitch rack has gone the
blacksmith shops, until there are now
only town left in town, when once
there was a score. But they have
given way to a more skilled mechanic
who adjusts carburators and puts
rubber Shoes" On cars. The world
moves on.

THE liquor interests of the country
are busy backing propaganda to try
and sip in the light wines and beer
under the prohibition amendment.
From the cry of the foreigner in the
cities this is what the nations wants
but the people Of the country, outside
Of eongested little Itallys and etc, see
the matter otherwise.
With light wines and beer served
wherever soft drinks are on tap the
menace Of alcohol would be greater
even than in the day of the saloon.
We don't believe the liquor element
will succeed in their plans but it is
Just as well for those who r opposed
to this nefarious move to be awake to
the situation and not be caught nap
ping.

BUSINESS

THE Ledger endeavors to publish
at regular intervals business editorials
touching upon conditions generally
but especially as they apply locally.
These editorials are the results Of
following the opinions and investi-
cations of the best minds in the bus
mess world and we are trying to pre-
sent our readers, in as interesting a
manner as is possible, a brief sum-
mary Of business conditions as they
are from time to time.
Bushes today is loking much bet
ter. We are not entirely out of the
readjustment period, and will not be
for some time but the critical portion
of this period is past and We r on
the upward path.
In general commodity prices and
production costs continue to decline.
Last weeks wholesale commodity
quotations compiled by Dunn's Review
show rs changes, Of which So were
r~ecesisons and % were advances.
This compilation has shown a steadily
declining tendency for the last fifteen
months. So great a fall in prices was
never known before in the history Of
business viccissitudes in this country.
Dunn's also points out that CONNER
cial failures show a declining ten
dency,

THE NATIONS PROBLEMS.

IT seems that Washington does not
know within a billion dollars just
what the government is spending a
year. 1t may be five or it may be six
billion dollars. So far no economies
have been proposed that will not be
more than Offset by additional expen-
ditures, and no decided revision of the
war tax system is yet in view.
The nation continues to support a
multitude Of government employees.
Congress is showing no inclination to
arrange taxes to advance business and
settle the disturbed conditions exist
ing in the industrial world.
The pressing problems of govern
nient management are such that they
materially touch the prosperity OF the
nation and to delay their partial solu-
ton at least merely continues condi-
tions which we were promised would
be eliminated and which directly ef-
feet the high cost of living.
The continuance of the war system
alone simply piles taxes upon taxes
and cuts off and possibility of relief
in government expense wher we
thought relief would first come.
These matters are serious anes and
action should not be delayed toward
relief.

ONE THOUSAND
PEOPLE ATTEND
OPEN AIR SERVICE

Mere than a thousand people
thronged the court house lawn Sunday
night to attend the Community Open
Air Services. The meeting was espec-
tally well conducted and was enjoyable
thruout.
Rev. F. w. Emerson preached on
the subject Prejudice Against
Heaven and in an intensely interest
ing message said in part:
One of the strongest developments
in modern views of religion is the pre-
JUDGE against heaven. Some good
Christians are impatient if the min
lister mentions heaven, and others tell
US frankly that heaven is on this
earth, while now and then we even
hear those who say one world is
enough for them and they do not want
or expect any other.
"The industrial workers rebelling
against the inequity and injustice of
the conditions surrounding them, with
the battle for bread as their chief con-
Germ scored at the idea of heaven here
after, and the capitalist, engaged in
tn MARTIAL occupation Of accumulat-
ing his surplus of wealth at the ex-
pense of the worker, cared little and
thought less about the ideals involved
in the thought Of heaven The mater
ialism Of tha age took men away from
the thought and contemplation of the
unseen and they attempted to satisfy
themselves with the material things
of life.
while our Master laid strong en-
phasis on the matter of right living
and condemned hypocritical and insin-
cere lives, yet the most important note
of his message to men was the mes
sage Of Immortality, of life beyond the
grave, of heaven with its glories that
all earthly glories.
Heaven is a blessed heritage and
we must not not let it slip"

STATE INSTITUTION HEADS
TEMPORARILY REAPPOINTED

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, July s.
The State Board of Managers for
Eleemosynary Institutions met Thurs
day and temporarily re-appointed the
superintendent anr stewards of the
hospitals for the insane, the colony
for feeble minded and the tuberculosis
sanitarium.
This was made necessary by the tax
ing effect of the new law and the
abolition of the former boards of
management.
H. D. Evans of Bonnie Terre, pres
ident said the board will take a trip
of inspection to each of the institu-
tions to determine their condition be-
FIRE deciding Jpn any changes. The
board shortly will appoint a health
supervisor, and he is required to lay
down the qualifications of s%uperinten-
dents. Permanent appointments can-
not be made until that is done.
