The State of Missouri offers by far
the largest amounts of money IN the

This report shows the twenty-three
states in the United States which have
fairs and after each gives the amount
that is offered in the Educational De-

81, $50. This is almost twice as much
as the next highest, Iowa, which Of

CHANGES IN SCHEDULE OF

Several changes in the schedule of
passenger trains on the Chicago and

che people of Mexico. Early morning
service from the west through Mexico
win be improved by one Of these
changes The train now known as
number 16 will be train number "a un-
der the new schedule and will be
made up at Slater at 5:45 a. M, and
win pass through Mexico at $40 a.
m, instead of being made up at Mex
leo at $3.50 a. m.
Number 10 known as the Hummer
will pass through Mexico at 11:07 in
stead Of 10:44 p. m. The difference
in the time which the train will pass
through Mexico will be caused by the
fact that it will now make flag stops
at Laddonia, Vandalia and Bowling
Green.
Train number 70, west bound due at
1:25 q. M. and the east bound train
now known as Number "a, due at 9:32

The Rural Mail Box

What is the condition of the ap-
proach to your mail box ? Is it in good
shape for the winter ? Section 827 of
the postal laws and regulations says
that each mail box shall be erected
in such position that it is easily and
safely accessible for the delivery and
collection of mail by the carrier with
out leaving his conveyance and that
patrons shall keep clear the ap-
proaches to their boxes by promptly
removing distractions which may rem
der difficult or impossible the delivery
of mail by the carrier"
From the reading Of this section it is
plain that the Department does not in
tend that there should be drifted snow
q rut or mudhole in front of the box.
Patrons sometimes wonder why the
rural carrier doesn't seem to have the
smooth even temper that it is expect
ed he should have. A glance at the
approach to the mail box will in many
cases solve the mystery. II there il q
rit cr mudhole, he cans be happy as.
he sees the life ground out Of nice
new set of tires or the last bit Of
Isnefgy taken from his already tired
horse.
Once in while, you will meet . pat
ron who put up the argument that the
carrier is paid for his work and that
he should get ont Of his conveyance

hundred thousand dollars were taken

posits and mail which was received
the amount Saturday night stood at
over $4,000, This sum does not in
clude the amounts sent to the banks
and some mail which was received
late. Mr.. Arnold says it will be sew
eral days until the exact amount can
be determined but he is sure that it
will be between 100000 and 500, 900.

1920 was $4,000 and 100000 in 1919.

dition and thus avoid cutting a rut
This is not expected hy the depart
ment and causes great delay to the
mail to say nothing of the unnecessary
physical exertion.
Did you ever stop to think that you
are entitled to your mail just as soon
as the carrier can get it to you? So
is your neighbor who lives beyond YOU
on the route. You want your mail
quickly. So does be. A little delay
because of poor approach makes the
service just that much poorer to every
patron who lives beyond that place on
the route.
You can help the service and put JOY
in the heart of the carrier if you win
see to it that the approach to your box
(also the box) is IN good condition at
all times. It is really An Inexpensive
proposition and viii add many times
its cost to the aprearAnces Of your
property.
Stamps kept OH hand are a great
cohvenence and time saver too. You
can't lose on them. They are safer
than government bonds because they
never sell below par

CONTRACT HOGS
FOR JULY
PRICE SO

The Ledger has it from an author
.itative source that a local stockman
is contracting hogs for July delivery
at $40. This is rather unusual CON
sidering the price for the past few
months has been much below that.
The name of the stockman was not
divulged but his action has caused no
little debate among local stockman
who are in a quandary as to whether
or not this price will be right.
1t is understood that he has already
contracted several loads. A number
that he approached refused to con-
tract at that rate evidently of the
opinion that the price would be at
least that high or better by July.
