David A. Schultz, president Of the
Schultz Retail Stores, made an an
nounccment yesterday concerning the
negotiations which have been going on
looking to a merger with the United
Retail Stores Corporation, the Whelan-

Whelan Stocks Heavy

sold off yesterday, but the Street
viewed the decline as more the result
of tobacco price-cutting war in the
East rather than the failure of the
merger negotiations with the Schultz
interests. 1t is calculated that the
price reductions, which have extended
into the West, will make inroads into
the United Cigar Stores Company earn

United consolidation is by no means a
new one to the Street, but the latest
has been the only one to be officially
admitted by one of the negotiating
parties.
Formal action on the merger of the

IDEA
MEETS WITH
MUCH FAVOR

The suggestion off. J. Hoxsey, IN
a recent communication to the Led
ger, that Mexico should have hos
pital especially for the care of con-
tagious diseases has caused no little
comment and favorable discussion.
Such an institution is needed badly
in case of an epidemic and in isolated
cases would protect the public from
the spreed Of the disease. 1t has been
suggested that one of the wings Of
the County Infirmary, northwest of
Mexico would be an ideal place. The
structure is fireproof, completely iso-
lated from the other wing occupied by
the poor and is built so that it could
be readily arranged into hospital for
such cases
Last winter there was a small
epidemic here and some Of those suf-
fering had serious time finding
places to remain while i'll. This is q
matter that interests every person in
Mexico and is worthy of serious con-
sideration and immediate action. No
one ever knows when an epidemic
might come and it is always best to be
prepared.

YOUNG PEOPLE DO NOT


STAY ON FARMS
Either the families of Missouri
farmers are larger than those of city
dwellers or there is decided ten-
dency for country children when they
grow up to go to the cities to live
according to facts brought out in the
1920 census. Perhaps it is a combin-
alton of both tendencies which has
led to the present condition as shown
IN the statistics given below:
The rural population as compared
with the urban shows that the per-
centage af persons living in rural dis
tricts who are between the ages of
20 and IA is 33.1 per cent as COM
pared with 44.2 per cent between
these ages living in the urban. OF
those Is years of age 34.2 per cent
live in rural sections while only "a
per cent live in the urban districts.
About three-tenths Of the people of
Missouri, or 29.3 per cent, are either
infants or children under Is years OF
age, about per cent are between the
ages of Is and 10, 1873 per cent are
between the ages Of 20 and Al, and
23.2 per cent are 45 years old or

CHANGE OF VENJIE

statutory crime, will be tried in Aud

change Of venue from the Boone Coun-
ty Circuit Court.
Under new law when a defendant
presents five affidavits from reputable
citizens from different parts of the
county, charging that the court or
community are prejudiced he is en-
titled to a change of venue. In this
case Evans attorneys presented af-
fidavits declaring that both the court
and community were prejudiced. Judge
Harris then decided that the case
should be sent to Audrain for trial.
