A FALL PAGEANT.

MEXICO should have a fall enter
tainment which should inclued a pag-
cant presenting the history of the city
and county since its organization.
The students of Hardin College and
Missouri Military Academy could be
enlisted to aid in the production which
would prove of more than countrywide
interest.
1t would be a INSTALLATION of Mex
.co and county history that would be
entertaining as well as instructive.
1t would be an affair that would pro-
mote a closer community of interest
in ten county.
The Hardin College pageant given
here several years ago vas a most de-
lightful and successful event A Pag-
cant for all Audrain would be of even
wider interest.
Mexico and Audrain County is rich
in historical fact and a most interest
ing series of episodes could be ar
ranged to mack the pageant colorful
and delightful. This is a matter we
believe of sufficient Importance to JUS
'tify its immediate consideration, with
a naming of a date for its presentation
in the fall. Such a pageant would re-
quire both time and work to make it a
success to say nothing of much ad-
vance advertising The Hardin COL
lege pageant book could be used in
part toward arranging the affair.

GLACIER TRAIL
MAN ARRANGES
FOR MARKERS

R. B. Fuqua, representing the Gla-
cier National Trail, a route t~raverses
one of the most beautiful sections of
the country, was in Mexico Friday
making plans to have a complete or
~ganization in Audrain County to COM
plete the markings of the trail.
Plans have already been made for
the placing of markers from st. Louis
10 Glacier National Park this summer
and the officials of the road hope to
extend the trail to the Pacific next
spring.
Moberly has agreed to care for the
marking between there and Mexico
and Mexico is expected to continue the
work some distance east. The st.
Louis Automobile Club has expressed
interest in the project and they are
planning to take over a considerable
part of the marking between here and
the Missouri metropolis.
At a big booster meeting held in
Moberly Thursday a permanent or
g~anization was affected for this Sec
ton of the state Of which Joe Consi-
inc was made a delegate to the nat
ional organization meeting to be held
in November.
The markers to be erected are the
most unique that mark any trail and
they will be permanent in every res
pect.

SHOWS CRIME DECREASE.

STATISTICS of police officials and
others in Louisville, KY; Peoria, Ill,
and Cincinnati, Ohio, tending to show
the reduction of crime since the adj
vent of prohibition, were issued here
by the Methodist Episcopal Board Of
Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Morals.
The Peoria report shows: Total ar
rests for drunkenness last wet year,
1880; first dry year, 295. Total ar
rests in Peoria for all causes last wet
year 1865; first dry year, 2937.
Louisville-Arrests dropped from
1924 to Alp for drunkenness.
Cincinnati-Assault to murder
cases increased IS to 26, and house
breaking from 81 to 81. Assault and
battery cases dropped from 772 to
656; murders from 38 to 7, and dis

Yet their realization that cOmmun-

Justification for them to work ahead

criticism.
Tsey ask no reward other than that
their city progress and take its place
among the forwarding-looking and
promising cities of the country. They
are the men who not only give liber-

izen who never does anything for his
own but offer adverse criticism and
who refuses to partake in any con-
structive activity other than to at
tempt TO slip 3 verbal monkeywrench

ity is offered.
II takes all kinds of people to make
up a city. The only benefit We a see
from those who refuse to aid in the
growth of their community is that
they simply spur IN to harder work

making their city a better place to
live in.
However it is noticeable that when
one of these anti-devlopment fellows

ST. MARGARET'S HOME SCENE
OF MUCH LIFE AND PLEASURE
THIS SEASON

The following article was copied
from the Sea Coast Echo (Bay St.
Louis):
1.-The recreation home operated I'M
der the auspices of St. Margaret's
Daughters, an organization engaged
in social and welfare work, was the
scene of much gaiety this season,
Mrs. H. NJ. Vallette in charge.
This charming and capable woman
whose motherly influence and ever
solicitous interest never flags, is be-
loved by all who visited the home.
She is an excellent executive, kind
indulgent, and the visitors are
simply carried away by her atten-
ton. There were two hundred and
sixty-six guests entertained; the or
ganization exacts nothing, it is a
labor of love and humanity.
At the closing, tacky party which
Mrs. Vallette and ladies of the COM
mittee planned, was thoroughly en-
joyed; prizes were given to the tack
lest of the tacky, and much fun was
the result of the evening; music was
furnished by the Bay St. Louis Jazz
Band.
Committee in charge were, Misses
Susie Murphy, Alfredo Voegtlin
Mary REILLY, Mesdames R. F. Whit.
