WANTS EVERY
MEXICO HOME TO
Be NUMBERED

Postmaster General Hays has an
nouneed that Wednesday October 18th
will be roundup day throughout the
nation and he plans that every house
in this country in cities where there
is free mail delivery will be properly
numbered and a box placed in a suit
able place for the reception of mail.
Mexico before that date should
comply with this request. Mexico is
getting large enough to make absol-
utely necessary the numbering Of
homes. In the past it seems that
every time the city homes were num-
bered the numbers were changed un-
til almost every property owner was
in doubt just where his residence was
located. This should not occur again.
The homes should be numbered and
then kept at that number regardless.
The numbers of the homes, as far
as is possible, should be placed on
every house in the same location. Re-
cepticles for the mail should also be
similarly. Mexico is too large
to locate residences by stating they
are next to Mr.. Jones or Mr.. Smith.
Houses should be numbered properly
and located by number.

Six Delegates
Attend B. Y. u.
Meeting Sat.

The local Baptist Young Peoples
association was represented at the
meeting of the Central Missouri AS
ISOLATION at Hannibal by six delegates.
They were: Miss Bess Woods, Miss
Nova Wallace, Miss Marie Van Horn,
Captain Van Horn, Captain Tren-
than, and Miss Stella Strobe. The
meeting was in session Saturday and
Sunady. Addresse were made by DR..
Reeder of Webster Groves, j.. C.
Hockett, the state secretary and Miss
Jessie Burial, head Of the department
of religious education at Stephens
College, at Columbia.
1t was decided that the next meet
ing of the association should be held
at Columbia. The Mexico union has
asked to withdraw from the Central
Missouri Union as there is now a
organization of seventeen
churches of which Mexico is a member
and the Mexico union feels it cannot
do efficient work for both organiza-
tions.

Mexico Negro
Didn't Get By
With SwindIe


The following story is being whis-
pered and laughed V e in Fulton. A
strange darby, who said his home was
in Mexico approached several Fulton
men and offered to sell them real
bottled-in-bOnd liquor at So a quart.
He gave the man a sample of the
liquor from a small bottle he carried.
Finally the sale was made and later
the victims found they had paid $4S
for colored water. They Immediately
got on the trail Of the negho and
found that he started to walk to Mex
leo. They followed him in a car. The
negro stopped the ear and asked for
a ride but turned pale when he recog-
nized the passengers as the men he
had swindled. One of the men ha
had swindled was a darby and the inn
mediately threatened the swindler
with a razor. The swindler immed-
produced the money he had OBJ
tanned and was released by his cap
tors.

Earth is Now
Recovering From
severe Heat Wave

NEW YORK, Oct. THE old
spheroid known as the earth is emery
ing from what human diagnosticians
might call a severe attack Of meter
Osogical mumps. 1t has been accom-
panied by intermittent fever, man.
ifcsted in a world wide heat wave of
unusual length and intensity.
In spite Of crises and relapses,
earthquakes, tidal waves, cloudbursts,
waterspouts, hailstorms, floods, hur-
ricanes, in many widely separted
points, from Guam to Guadalupe
and from Kamchtka, to Cape Horn,
the doctors are confident that the
patient will recover.
Meanwhile the United States for
the past year has been suffering
chiefly from an exces Of high temper
atures and a deficiency in moisture
unprecedented in the SO years history
Of the weather bureau.
For instance, in New York City,
the temperature has shown an aggre-
gate excess of warmth of $50 degrees
and a shortage of 6.71 inches in rain
fall.
Sometime before the present phen-
omenon, in the nine months period be-
ginning in October, 1918, the average
monthly temperature was 2.71 above
normal, and this was a record until
sunspots and seabottom upheavals
and other hypothetical causes sent the
mercury still higher.

SELLING YOUR CITY.

THE Ledger has had something
from time to time to say about SELL
ing Mexico" In words not quite so
commercial we believe that every res
ident of Mexico should possess suffi-
cient knowledge of this city to tell
visitors and strangers intelligently
of its many advantages and POSSIBLE
tiles of the Chamber of Commerce
could reach every person in Mexico
outlining the salient points of the
city as it is today and its POSSIBLE
titles we would not only be a better
city but would be better advertised
TO the world in general.
Selling a town is pretty much like
selling goods. You must know first
of all the advantages of your town
YOU must be able to tell the outside
world what it has in the way of ad-
vantages, and then you must dwell
on those talking points. Your terri
tory is large, for any place in the
world you go you can spend a few
minutes selling" your town-which
means nothing else but boosting it.
Mexico citizens should learn the
great advantage to be derived from
being able to point out the manifold
advantages of a residence here, Of
telling others exactly why they pre-
fer to live here to having a home any,
where else. The man who can talk
up his town, and who does talk up his
town is always admired, no matter
in what part of the country he may
be or in what company he is thrown
Hometown pride is the first indica-
ton of god citizenship, and people
who hear you reciting the merits OF
afhe place in which you live naturally
take 1t that all the other citizens are
doing the same thing, and that it is
"a good place in which to live or in
which to do business. Start out now
ito sell" your town, wherever you go.
Learn its advantages, learn to tell
about them in in interesting way, and
edge right in at every opportunity
and tell about those advantages.

THE Kansas City public dance halls
are no longer allowed the privilege of
extending to their guests the oppor-
tunity to 'toddle." This edict has
been issued by the officer of Public
Recreation. The one-step has also
been frowned upon. If such action
were taken by the mayor of a small
city a cry would aviate to the heavens
from certain quarters that you would
lead you to conclude the Spanish in.
QUESTION was at labor and a new bevy
of victims were supplying amusement
for the afternoon. Public morals are
in the keeping Of public officials. Anc
the reason they are is that some PEG
pie are not fully responsible for what
they do and require supervision.

CAPTAIN AND MRS.
Bolts STOPPING IN CABIN
NEAR SANTA FE, MO.

Captain and Mrs. MAC" Bolts, OF
Washington, D.. c., are enjoying them
selves at their cabin near Santa Fe.
The old neighbors are showing every
consideration and courtesy-sending
in meats and delicaeies. The Captain
is eating fried chicken every day.
Affection, though he may suffer It,
does not phase him and he remains
the bravest soldier you wei met. AL
ways jovial and thoughtful, he counts
every man and woman, and even the
dumb beasts his friends. The old
bird-dog, which he had not seen for
two years, when. she heard his voice,
broke the fence down to get to
him with her greetings. This story
is not overdrawn. 1t is a great thing
to be every inch a man and to be able
to bravely brave every wind that
blows"

THE greatest force in community
building is a cooperation. We know
this is rather a trite statement be-
cause we repeat it SO often but we
feel that it is well to keep such an
idea before the people Of the city al
ways so that they will not lose sight
Of such an important constructive
force. You should have just as much
pride in your city as in your home.
You should be proud Of its achieve
ments and sad over its shortcomings.
Your city is what you and your neigh
bors make it. Your influence will help
others to aid III its development.
Your selfish Indifference will contrib
ute toward It's disintegration. Accept
your responsibility for your share in
making your city your pride and joy.
And help the other fellow to accept
his responsibility along the same line,
