R. I.t..LOGAN HERE


r. L. Logan, division manager of
the Moberly division of the Automo-
bile Club of Missouri, with headquart-
ers in st. Louis, was in Mexico Fri
day in the interest of the club. Mex
leo has several members in the Auto
mobile Club and one of it's official
garages is here.
Formerly this was the Automobile
Club Of st. Louis'sbut at meeting
recently in st. Louis it was decided to
change the nanteFto the Automobile
Club of Missouri. ! The club was first
formed in 1902 and its activities We're
confined to those of allegislative and
social nature With the development
of the automobile industry and the
more general use Of machines the
scope fthe club has been increased.
1t has also abandoned it's social fea-
lures.
The services of the club hye been
extended to include the following:
free road service, free legal service,
and a touring bureau which furnishes
free maps and, information u tour
lists. The legal service gives advise
concerning the ownership and oper-
alton of any motor vehicle, explains
traffic rules and helps recover stolen
AMI lost cars.
According to Mr.. Logan, when a
man joins the Automobile Club Of
Misouri,( he automatically becomes a
member Of the American Association
which entities him to the courEesies
Of 612 associated clubs Of the United
States.
The division of which Mr.. Logan
is manager includes six counties,
Sheridan, Randolph, Monroe, Mont
gomery, Warren and Audrain.

Hickory Grove is counting on big
meeting on the night of Jan I8. At
recent meeting of the Club, the house
was filled to its capacity. The school
gave very interesting, entertainment,
and Me Smitfof Centralia and others
of the Farm Club fraternity addressed
those present.
Messrs. Carver Browns and o. M.
Montague, the directors from Cuiyre
township in the County Association,
have divided up their territory be-
tween them in preparation for Rally
Night activities, and have assigned
EApeakers to each of the Clubs of the
township. Cuiyre has nine or ten
Clubs together with several others
over the line in Rails and Pike which
drawt6n Audrain territory.
Rally Night is pIaned for all our
5000. Clubs in the State, esa is ex-
pected to accomplish the following re-
suits by. JAN 15: (a) renew the
memberships (c), pledge to ignore
Market BriBes"; (d), encourage the
organization ofsthe Women's Progress
sive Clubs; (e)s pass a resolution not
to vote for a delegate to the Consti-
tutionA Convention who will not.
pledge himself in advance against any
change in 2ogr stag slaws, or against
hanging thesbasis of representation
which would deliEApgthe Legislature
over to the largeAeities; (f), plan a
series Of debates and entertainments
for the renaineden Of the winter; and,
(g), give every one an opportunity to
sign the Referendum petitions against
speeding up the issuance of the road
! bonds.
There is but one reason for the early
issuance of these road bonds, and that;
lin the language of one of the members
of the Legislature, is IAN unjust, un-
fair and un-American one: namely, to
tie the hands of the General Assembly
and the people of the State" Mem
bers of the Highway Board admitted
before the Ways and Means Com
mittee according to Representatives
Whitaker, a member OF that COM
mittee, that according TO their estiS
Innate there would sbe one and q half
ImAillion dollars Of road funds yet on
hand unused Jan. /, 1923. Neither IS
the money needed according to Repre-
sentative Whitaker TO match federal
aid, as the State has already over
matched all that is available under the
old law, and, funds under the new fed
eral aid law whereby the State viii re-
ceive something less than two and p
half million dollars, will not be avail
able until June 8, 1924. Our auto
license amounts to more. than that
every year.

mission Co., at the National Stock
yards is making healthy growth.
The first IA days they handled 100
cars of cattle, hogs and sheep---a
record never squaled by any Cooper

Week before last they handled 125
cars which put them second to only

doubtedly they will beable to refund
500 Of the commission charges back
to the shipper.

Of Henderson county and The Prog
ress is authorized to so announce

the county. He is a man of good ad-
dress and excellent qualification,
courteous in manner by nature and
well able to fill we'll any office in the
county. The candidacy of such men
as Joe A. Deere for office is a good
sign and his election would be assur-
ance of proper conduct of the Of

TRAVELLING MAN LOSES FORD.

Last Sunday afternoon man reg
istering as C. B. Hines, New York,
and selling extracts and medicines, we
are informed, reached the Hotel Lex
ington to spend the night AMI told
Mrs. Lille Wireback, the proprietress,
that he wanted a $50 breakfast Mon
day morning. Mr.. Hines parked his
five-passenger Ford car just behind
the car of DR.. Sam T. Parker, on the
North side of the hotel, removing the
key. When he went out at an early
hour Monday morning, the car was
gone. The thief or thieves evidently
rolled the car from it's position to the
street for DR.. Parker says he would
have certainly heard the noise had it
been started at the point Mr.. Hines
left it.
/ There have been various rumors
about a man and three women and
some said three men and one woman,
stopping to get gas at the Anderson
Bros. store eleven miles West of town,
at about 200 o'clock Monday morn
ing, but later it was ascertained that
these people were known.
Mr.. Hines employed Mr.. Silas Ross,
taxi driver, and for several hours
they secured the country but all to no
purpose as so many cars had been
passing the roads that no distinguish
ing trail could be followed.

THE TENT MEETINGS.
SECOND WEEK

The tent meeting in which Evange-
list George Tucker is doing the
preaching and MIR. Charles Wyatt
leading the splendid choir, is in its
second week and will come to a close
after next Sunday night. Mr. Tucker,
who is best known because of the fact
that but a few years ago he was an
|. C. switchman at Jackson, Impress
es his hearers as being a man of the
deepest sincerity and his pleadings
with the people to forsake the ways
Of sin and take up the better life,
come from one who knows whereof he
speaks-one who "trod the primrose
path" and had ample opportunity to
know the inevitable end of those who
serve the devil and turn out there
from. We are not able to state spe-
cific results Of the two-week's revi-
val, but we can, in all sincerity add
to this notice the hope that great
good may come to Lexington from
the visitation of Evangelist Tucker.
Rev. H. K. Rose and Presiding Elder
Butts have been on hand during the
meeting, doing all in their power to
make the effort in behalf of this
town success.

JONES STRAINER MFG. CO..
WILL MOVE TO MEMPHIS,

1t is understood from authentic
sources that the Jones Strainer Man
ufacturing Company will, within q
short time, move their general offices
and manufacturing plant from Lex
ington to Memphis. This company
has a present capital stock of $10,-
900, fully paid, but when they are es-
tablished in their new field will in
crease their capital stock to 100000
that they may be able without finan-
cial handicap, manufacture and sell
their strainer on a much larger and
more systematic scale than hereto
fore.
There is unusual merit in the
Jones Strainer, and local capitalists
will no doubt purchase and keep q
large block of their stock at home
because this manufactured article is
a necessity and the Jones Company
boasts Of the fact that their product
has many favorable points over all
competitors. Many of their strainers
are now being used by the city OF
Memphis. Those who now hold stock
in the Jones Strainer Manufacturing
Company, and those who are contem-
plating making investments therein
feel confident that it is only short
time before enormous dividends will
be derived from their investment.

TUCKER ON SINS OF LEXINGTON

Evangelist George Tucker, preach
ed Wednesday night to the best crowd
he has had on the Feast of Belshaz-
zar"--and on his promise to lay bare
the sins of Lexington. We attended
in all sincerity to get the specific in
formation as to what may all Lexing-
ton, morally and officially, and got
out of it the alleged fact that the town
is run by forty to fifty "hoodlums," f"
of which the officials and the citizen
ship have been so afraid that they
have been allowed free rein without
molestation, and that the town has q
marshal who can be tolled through
town with his mouth closed by the
use of bootleg whisky. At one time
Evangelist Tucker said ANY woman
who will play spot cards or Rook
cards for prize, is no better than a
blackleg poker gambler" statement
which we do not endorse and would
never make Notwithstanding we have
always taken the position and openly
expressed the opinion that playing
cards for prizes is gambling-our po-
sition and opinion being different
from the laws of Tennessee.
The climax of the evening came
when Evangelist Tucker called on
every man present. who stood for law
and order and who would pledge him
self not to aid in making the name Of
Lexington a by-word, etc, TO come up
and give their hands; and for those
who were towards to keep their seats.
Quite a number of men went up, otter
which the evangelist said The sheriff
has come up and give his hand
where is the mayor of the town ?"
Mayor Fielder arose in his seat and
said Here he is, sir" and the preach
er then added Come up and give me
your hand like a man. and Mr..
Fielder went.
This statement is made, quite bare
Of comment except as to the
women who play cards for prizes
and those who read il as well as those
WHO heard the sermon, can take beth
fer what they deem them worth.

HE GOT OUT IN A HURRY.

Last Monday morning when Mr.. j.
L. Wood, member of the County
Equalization Board, was coming to
Lexington, while in an old field he
saw a snake in the road ahead of hint
When the front wheel of the buggy
struck the reptile, it was carried up
ward and tossed on the buggy seat by
Mr.. Woods. 1t happened that MI.
Woods was bitten by snake few
years ago, which fact implanted in
him morbid dread of the crawling
things, 50 when the snake was thrown
into his buggy he went out and did
not stand on the manner of going
but he landed against small bank
and recovered his feet without drop
ping his lines. There he stood by the
roadside, holding his horse, without
even stick in sight until a boy came
along and helped him out of his pre-
dicament by custer proceedings
against the snake.
