KEEP PROFESSION CLEAN

A very high classed movie star
made the statement last Saturday
that should Clara Smith Hamon be
awarded contract by a movie COM
pany, that he would quit the picture
game. .-,
This man made this statement be-
cause he feels that the movie game
has higher ideals than that of cater
ing to the sensational and that a per-
son whose only claim to fame is bas-
ed upon vice and court notoriety, has
no place in the movie actors pro-
fession.
1t is a pity that more high class
actors and actresses do not take the
same stand in this matter. Too
many screen favorites of the day
were first drawn into the movie
world through similar conditions to
those surrounding Clara Smith HAM
on.
If the movies are to be kept clean
and above suspicion, notorious char
acters must not be permitted to pre-
dominate stardom. The men and
women who, through their talent as
screen artists, are setting daily ex-
amples to the coming generations
should be as true to their ideals as
the characters which many of them
impersonate.
1t is not probable that Clara Smith
Hamon will ever accept a movie
offer. 1t is still more probable that
no picture producer in this age, will
dare offer her contract. Movie
censorship, to be a success, must be
a complete stamping out of the no
torious character from filmdom.

productions. There has been no di-
rect threat of farmers strike, but
the farmer can hardly be blamed for
laying down on the job when market
conditions will not permit him to
clear the expenses of his undertaking.
Among other steps being taken to
ease the situation, is that of a pro-
,tective tariff which will prevent the
cheap foreign labor conditions from
growing fat at the expense of the
American agriculturist.
America is through catering to the
well wishes of Europe. Mr.. Hard
ing's first task is to place his nation
on a firm international exchange
basis and he is beginning with the

The whole key to the situation in

At the Chamber of Commerce-lunch-
con Thursday noon Judge W. ". Bolts,
representative of Audrain County in
the legislature, and Senator McCul-
Tough, of Knox County, discussed the
recent advance of a year in the issuing
of the state highway bonds. Judge
Bolts was opposed because he felt it
was too soon to issue them in view of
the organization work required, and
Senator Mccullough favored their is
suance in 1922 because he felt the law
itself protected them against inequit-
able, distribution. Both are DEM
ocrats.

WRITES LETTER DESCRIBING
BEAUTIES OF NEW YORK

The following interesting letter
has been received from Mrs. Fannie
Loomis describing the beauties Of
New York and renewing her subscrip-
ton for the Ledger.
Deposit, N. Y.
Nov. 8, 1921.
Editor of The Mexico Ledger,
Mexico, Mo.
Dear SIR
IncIosed find $500 for which
please renew my subscription. | enjoy
this home message so much, / should
not like to miss a number.
l am surely enjoying my ~sojourn
in New York.
The scenery, unexcelled, has first
place in my affection, / think. To be
sure the hills lok a bti grey now and
an occasional furry Of big snow
flakes compel us often to hover about
the blaze of a CHEEKY fire, which after
all seems but a mere reflection OF the
flaming beauty depicted on the hill
sides but a fortnight ago for nowhere
in the universe, I believe, does nature
use her colors more lavishly than
when she freely dashes autumnal
lights and shades in rainbow effects
over the peaks of the Catskills.
- p
Next to these beauties which |
never tire of speaking is the cold
sparkling Adams ale which seems in
its clearness and purity to be the
very hector Of all the beauties OF the
home where nestle thousands of these
remarkable springs sparkling like SO
many diamonds.
The Empire state long ago decided
not to take a rear seat regarding It's
highways and / think it would be
difficult to find a state with a more
complete network of fine macadam
highways which thousands OF tour
lists enjoy every day.
II would take hours to complete the
lauding Of my grand old Empire
state 80 I will postpone the remain
der Of my ideas regarding this won
derfuI county where u creator has
given with generous hand wealth and
beauty beyond description.
Hoping you may have the pleasure
Of visiting these wonders some time
In the future, ! am
Very truly yours,

WORK NO TROUBLE
NOW, SAYS B0NHAM
Kansas Couple Since Taking .Tanlac
Say They Understand Why it
Gets So Much Praise.

Since taking Tanlac myself / see
why so many people are endorsing the
medicine so highly" said A. L. Bon
ham, of 527 S. Topeka St., Wichita,
Kansas.
Il have suffered a great deal during
the past two years, and it was only
when | took Tanlae that l got relief
from my troubles. My appetite was
so poor that | didn't relish my food,
and at times | had terrible head.-nes
and dizzy spells. My kidneys also bc1n-
cred me very much, and such awful
pains in the small of my back that l
could hardly stoop over. My sleep was
very restless, and l was in such a
weak, rundown condition that / just
had to force myself to work.
Il kept on seeing so much about
Tanlac that l decided it give it a trial,
and it has only taken five bottles of
the medicine to rid me Of my troubles
and put me in good condition again.
My kidneys no longer bother me, Pm
never troubled with headaches or dig
illness and my back is entirely free
from pain. I have an excellent ap-
petite, and have regained my strength
and weight so that | don't have a bit
of trouble in doing my work.
my wife took Tanlac for a severe
case of stomach trouble, and the medi-
cine restored her appetite and
strength and built her up twelve
pounds in weight. We are both en-
joying better health now than we have
in years, and arecertainly grateful to
Tanlac for what it has done for u.s."
Tanlac is sold in Mexico by Zim's
Rexall Store and all leading druggists

ADVOCATES
SIMPLE DRESS
FOR STUDENTS

Resolutions adopted by the Parent
Teacher Association of Central School
at their meeting Friday afternoon
placed a taboo on rouge, silk-hose.
higl-heeled shoes, short skirts and
gc0rgette waists from the dress of
the girls of the Mexico Public Schools.
The 'stay-at-home" movement also
was endorsed and parties on school
evenings, or any other form of enter
tainment which may detract from the
pupils interest in his studies, was
frowned upon.
1t seemed to be the consensus of
opinion of those present at this meet
ing that the campaign to accomplish
sensible DRESS" rather than ':'stand-
ardized dress" should be conducted
along educational lines instead of by
more drastic regulations.
The Resolutions were as follows:
Be it resolved: that we, as mem
bers of the Parent Teachers Associa-
tion, wish to endorse and promote the
"stay-at-home" movement, in order
that u children may study quietly
on school evenings and acquire the
amount of rest necessary for growing
children.
Further; be it resolved: that we
will not sanction parties on a school
evening, OF any other form of enter
tainment which may detract from the
pupils interest in his studies.
Also, be it resolved: that we wish
heartily to endorse sensible dress for
our daughters, who are in grade
school, and to go on record as dis
approving georgette waists, silk hose,
high heels, rouge and immodestly
short dresses.
Lastly, be is resolved: that a copy
of these resolutions shall be spread
upon the minutes Of the Parent
Teachers Association.
