QUIT TELLING FUNNY STORIES
Why Congressman Kelly Sacrificed
Humor on the Altar of Serious
Statesmsnship.

Patrick Kelly, a representative In
congress from Michigan, says that he
used to tell many stories in going
about In his political campaigns The
audiences always liked them and went
away pleased. Telling them looked
like good politics
Years later Kelly would meet q
man and he would say:
II have met you before. ] renem-
Der very well a certain story you
told"
Then he would repeat the anecdote.
Kelly would ask him what else he re
membered that had been said, and he
would be unable to remember thing.
The congressman began to wonder II the
telling Of stories prevented more seri-
Gus matters from finding Judgement
in the hearers mind
He became fearful. He was not
sure, but he decided 10 lay on the
funny story. So was the possibility
Of a multitude OF good laughs sacTi-
feed at the altar Of serious states

STAY LAW PROPOSAL
OF KNIGHT NOT POPULAR

VALDOSTA, Dec. 10. - Perry
Knight, representative from Berrien
county, is sending out circular let
ter to fellow members of the house
and senate, suggesting that mass
meetings be held to create sentiment
in favor of requesting the governor
to call an extra session to pass a
"Stay law" for the benefit especial
ly of the agricultural situation in the
state. The proposal for this mora
torium does not meet with much
favor in Valdosta and representatives
and the senator here receiving the
proposition have ignored it, the be-
lief being expressed that such step
would be a serious reflection upon
the entire state of Georgia and its
godd name.

Men and women who toll, either

When they overwork they use up

Without rest the blood cannot get

clogged with waste matter from over

The clogged blood virtually withers
the body. The strained looks on pale

blood depriving the system of life

PREDICTS
THE RALPH BILL
WILL NOT PASS

In an interview Saturday morning
Representative Bolts of Audrain
County, who had just returned from
jefferson City predicted that the
Ralph Road Bill would never beome
law.
The measure, he says, may pass the
Senate, but will be rejected absol-
utely by the House.
The impression that the bill has
made among the legislators in gen.
said Judge Bolts, "is that it
would allow the next ten years for
the building Of one of two main high
ways while the rest of the state
looked on and waited for theirs.
The BILL" Judge Bolts stated, "has
taken no party lines, tho it is frown-
ed on somewhat by Democrats n gen.
eral.
1t is as yet too early to predict any
definite results from the present ses-
sion.

SUPPLY
HOUSE WILL MOVE
TO MEXICO

The Chamber Of Commerce of Mex

be purchased as a site for the Contin-

move it's factory from St. Louis here.
The company, which does an ex-
elusive job-printing business in bank
ing supplies, is negotiating for a new
site and removal funds, the total of
which local business men place at
$1,000. The removal Of the company's
machinery and offices to Mexico is
first dependent on the securing of a
fund of this amount.
The sites that are now being con-
sidered will cost approximately $1,000
and the transferral of the machinery
and other property is estimated at
$1,000.
At present the committee it pre-
pairing to raise these funds.
The plant employs about so people
m dwould bring a number of families

THIS rs NOT THE HOTTEST
JUNE WE HAVE HAD

IN spite of some folks desire to be-
lieve it SO, this is not the hottest
June we have had; it only feels as if
it were. The large amount of rain
fall this month has made the humid
ity so great that the heat has been
felt more than in the dryer months.
There were however, IL days dur
ing the month on which the mercury
climbed to 80 degrees or above, as
compared with 8 a year ago. June Of
1914 contained 10 days on which the
90 degree level was reached. The
hottest day in this June was the 18th,
when a maximum Of 95 was recorded.
The total rainfall for the month is
given by the official observer for
Mexico as 4.82 inches, which while
not excessive, is well above the normal
and the fact the precipitation was re-.
corded on II days made It seem all the
mare rainy.

TOURISTS WANT
CAMP IN MEXICO

In the last few days a number of
tourists have inquired at the Chamber
of Commerce and the Ledger office
for a site to camp for the night.
When they discovered that Mexico
had no such place provided for them
they invariably go on to other towns
especially when west bound, as Mob
erly has provided a splendid camp
for them.
In describing the camps of such
towns as Moberly and Hannibal tour
lists say that thee cities provide them
with a place to pitch tent for the
night and with a supply of running
water.
Mexico should have a camp for it
would simply mean that more trav-
elers would stop here The would be-
come acquainted with our town and
Mexico merchants would derive a dis
tinct benefit. Some step should be
taken to provide a tourist camp.

Who Makes.o Our Moral LAVISH

Is the greatest Institution in Amer
ico-the home-to be put on the auc-
ton block? America is on the very
brink of saying that some of the
great laws Of life itself shall be cast
aside in derision, those concerning the
relations of man and woman.
The present generation is eager
only for liberty, liberty, and yet social
liberties have brought but libertines
and broken VOWS.
A new vision and a new outlook on
life must come before the youth of
America and it can come only to the
child on mothers knee-schools and
colleges cannot supplant her in teach
ing the simple faith that has made
America great.
AS mother makes her home SO will
the manhood and womandhood of
America be made-or broken. The
future is in her hands.
