Lexington Sent Special Train.

Lexington Sent Special Train.
About one hundred Lexington
enthusiasts for the Old Trails
route across Missouri went to
Kansas City Thursday morning
in a special train to attend the
annual meeting of the National
Old Trails Association. Those
who went were well repaid for
the trip, as the program was
gotten up with a view to crys-
talizing the sentiment the en-
tire length of the Old Trails in
favor Of this route across Mis-
souri,. 1t is the consensus of
opinion that this sentiment is
going to be hard to down when
the commissioners to be appoint
ed by Governor Hyde come to
designate the cross-state high
way under the new law. Anyway
it was an enthusiastic meeting
and Lexington did her part in
making it SO.

The Public School Column.

The Lexington Public Schools
opened September 5th with the
largest enrolment since 1913.
The first weeks total was L.
057. This was forty-eight more
than the first weeks total last
year. The enrolment by schools
follows: High School, 1871; Ar.
mold, 1913; Central, 242; Taylor,
l01; Douglass and No. 2, 145.
Two rooms, the third A, fourth
3 at Arnold, and the first grade
at Taylor, were overcrowded
and transfers had to be made.
The High School enrolment
was the largest since 1917. The
gain was in the Freshman class
and was partly due to the in
creased number of tuition pu-
pills.
The Seniors of 1921 have es-
tablished a record that future
classes of Lexington High School
viii find difficult to beat. At
least fourteen of the twenty
seven last year graduates are
now attending college or uni
versity. Eight of the remaining
thirteen are teaching in the rur-
al schools.
The prospects for a success
full football season are better
than usual. More than thirty
boys are reporting to practice

completed the schedule but ex-
poets to have games with Hig-
ginsville, Odessa, Sedalia, Har-
risonville and independence.
The first game will be at Hig-
ginsville on September 80.
Lexington Public School teach
ers were the guests of the Board
of Education at an informal
reception held at the High
School building on Wednesday,

The High School is indebted
to the Class of 1921 for the
beautiful clock in the assembly
room.

WHERE THE CONSUMER
 GETS THE LOW PRICES

James Kennedy gives a few
 concrete examples in his ad on
 the back page of this issue of the News, to show how the low
 CT market prices of today are
 reaching the consumer at his ,, store. It will pay the people { of Williams and vicinity to look over that advertisement and note the large reduction in prices which has already been effected at this store.
 In speaking of the outlook for lower prices generally, MT. i Kennedy remarked that no very Neaoreachttttttsuldhretaoinsh great reduction could be looked for in most lines of canned goods until near the end of this year and possibly the first of next. The present stocks of canned goods were put up un- der high prices and at cost that makes it impossible for the packers to sell them much be- low the present market without huge loss. The fruits and vegetables which will be can ned this summer will not reac ch the tables of the consumers for number of months after the canning season opens. It is probable that the prices will eventually be much lower but the change will be rather slow in coming.
 MT. Remedy. further remark ed that he ooked for the prcie on some articles to fall off quite decidedly due to there being an over supply on hand, and dump ing will be necessary to clear these out before the new goods reach the market. However the number of articles in this class is limited as there is not an oversupply in most commod- ities due to the fact that the high prices of all materials in- eluding labor, caused the can neries to curtail production quite decidedly last season. What reductions are made, MT. Kennedy asserts. will be promptly reflected in the prices of godos in his store.

RAIN AND SNOW ADD
 1.3O INCHES OF WATER

Williams and vicinity were visited with rain and snow dur ing Monday night and Tuesday, which added 1.3O inches of water to the supply now wait ing upon the mountainsldes of the vicinity, awaiting the spring thaw.
 Sunday and Monday night were warm and cloudy presag- ing a storm but not until Mon day night did the rain actually begin to fall. At first there was a slow dr:Zzle followed lat CT by heavy rain and finally by a very wet snow. Practlc ally all of the moisture that fell was taken up by the ground due to the fact that there was just snow enough to prevent it's run ming and there was no frost in the ground to prevent the rapid absorbtion of the moisture. When the storm finally ceared up, from two to four inches of snow remained on the ground. The warm sun of Thursday and today has thawed most of this
 This weeks rainfall added to that already on the mountains in the form of ice nd snow. now totals upwards of three inches of water lies in reserve for the spring thaw. This is an un- usually small amount for this time of the year but will un- doubtedly be gretly increased before March. The tempera- ture was low enough to prevent any thawing on the mountains.
 A real water shortage was threatening the community but this has been averted by the timely rain-and the grass on the range at lower elevations has yeeb greatly benefited.

EPISCOPAL PARISH MEETING

Next Tuesday evening, Jan uary 25th., at the Parish. House of St. Johns Mission at 7:3O will be held the annual Parish Meeting of the Mission, to which all the members and friends of the local Episcopal Church are cordially invited. All arrangements for an enjoy able social evening have been completed. A part of the meeting will be given over to the discussion of the work of the mission during the past year and the forming of plans for 1921. A program of musical numbers and other forms of en- tertainment will be given, and refreshments will be served.
 There is an impression pre- vailing among most of our mem bers that the social life of the parish has not been sufficiently cultivated with relation to the work of the Mission. It is planned therefore that this Par 1Sh Meeting next Tuesday even ing shall be only the first of a series of such occasions in the future throughout the year. To all who are interested in the growth of religious life in Will Hams we therefore give hear ty invitation to join with us in the development of a spirit of good fellowship which will go far toward promoting a whole some, cordial religious life in our town, Especially do we want you to come next Tuesday evening.
 You are also earnestly invit- ed to attend the two Sunday ser vices next Sunday. the 2rd. :: Sunday School at 10 a. m. and the Vesper Service at 5 D. m.

We noted that both the Sun and the Leader made play at that old pun about change and rest last week, and the Sun got away with it pretty cleverly in remarking that when Adolph Boenitsch went to Los Angeles for a change and rest, the wait CTS kept the change. and the hotel keeper took the rest. Now Williams has a young man who went down to Clemeneeau for a change and rest last week. Chas. Proctor. by name. From the high spirits which he dis played on his return we take it that he must have met a differ ent type of hospitality, the host Cor hostess) entertaining him in such a delightful manner that he secured the change he sought and also enjoyed de- 1iphtful rest. This incident like some other occurrences. would seem to indicate that the little fellow with the bow and arrow has been quite busy late ly.

ONLY 4 MORE RECRUITS NEEDED FOR COMPANY
Big Meeting Monday Night Doubles Enthusiasm and Brings in Many New Mem bers-Full Company Expect ed by Next Monday

The meeting of the Williams Company of the 158th Infan- try, which was first called to meet at the Justice of the Peace office was held at the l. O. OF. Hall instead in order to provide more room and also a dancing floor. The additional room was needed to accommodate the very large number in at tendance-estimated at near 300. Great enthusiasm was displayed by all present, the ladies doing their full share to inspire a desire to join in the hearts of the available able bodied men present. Some if teen new men were signed up. l.. s. Williams and Ed Hanil- ton were the chief speakers of the evening and dwelt forceful- ly upon the very great need of the National guard, now that the size of the sta nding army has been reduced to 150,000. They also pointed out the great advantage that the company would be to the members be- cause of the fine physical train ing and development which it will give them. The financial side was also touched upon. This will mean an income of $2OO a year to each private and a yearly vacation with all ex- penses. paid. Both-sof these may be secured without inter fering with the recruits per formance of the duties of what ever position he may hold in civil life.
 To the town in a business way, the esta blishment of a company here will mean a monthly payroll in excess of S3,O0O, and also will give work to many men in the construc- tion of an armory.
 E. J. Nordyke and Ed John son were the committee on ar engagements and they secured a bounteous feed for the occa- sion, consisting of sandwiches. doughnuts and coffee. All of the feed was contributed by To- cal businessmen. ad was served by the ladies. After the speak ing the evening was turned in to a social dance.
