COL. BELIEVES
IN CLOSEST
COOPERATION

The following letter from Col. R.
M. White, former editor of the Led
ger, who is spending a month in
Florida, re-iterates his often urged
plan of cooperation between town
and country which he hopes is be-
coming a fact in Audrain today.
SARASOTA, Florida, Feb. 10, 1921.
am delighted to see that your new
secretary of the Chamber of Com
meree is strong for cooperation be-
tween the farmers and town people.
That's the way to get good roads and
many other improvements that are of
benefit to thepeople of khe entire
county. There is no sense in the
town and country people opposing
each other. What's good for any part
of Audrain is good for Mexico, and
vice versa. Let's get together and
Tets go" in the direction of good
hard roads, AS we have said mil
lion times more or less, talk won't
build roads. Let's try to get out Of
the mud. Let's try most any plan.
We will never get plan to suit ev-
cry one. In the meantime everybody
else is at work building permanent
good roads. Z
am sorry to see the Red Cross
and other nurses leaving Mexico.
They were a most valuable asset to
the city. Are we losing step in the
movement forward along civic up
lift lines?
This is the height of the season
here, and all are enjoying themselves.
The last street dance and masquer-
ade was so highly spoken of that
preparations are under way to hold
another one, which, from all indica-
tions, will be one Of the nights of the
season to be remembered. Antina-
relli's Italian band will furnish the
music, which assures one feature Of
the evening. Nobody will be over
looked in chance for prize, as they
will be awarded by competent judges
| for the hansomest costumed lady, the
hadsomest costumed gentleman, the
most unique costumed lady, the most
unique costumed gentleman, the most
comical costuned lady Or gentleman,
also a handsome prize for the most
graceful couple dancing. This dance
is given for the benefit of the Sar-
asota Baseball club, and that night
the two lots which are being ratEled,
which are located within five minutes
walk Of the post office, will be drawn
and the lucky winners announced,
The grand march will begin promptly
at $50 o'clock, and all participating
must be in costume and masked.
After the grand march all viii un-
mask and the prizes will be awarded
when dancing for all will begin and
continue until late hour. The pro-
ceeds Of the entire evening win 60 to-
ward defraying the expenses of the
baseball club, and is only one Of many
things being done here this winter to
show how determined Sarasota is to
have the best Of everything for her
winter guests.
while / have had . fine rest and
think southern Florida the best win
ter climate in the world, i am begin
ming to get homesick and think ! viii
be home by February goth. No mat
ter wher you 60, summer or winter,
you win find no better place to live
the year around that good old Mexico.
Mo-, good churches, good schools,
good public improvements, good pro-
gressive business men, good stores,
good industries. good people. what
more do yon want2 why good roads,
of course. With good roads leading
out into tho county Mexico would he
! the ideal little city.
