THE LTDGER'S excellent subscrip-
ton list has been built through person
al efforts, and making every endeavor
to give the public what it wants in
a local newspaper. No premiums
lave been offered-the Ledger is sold
en- its merits alone. No cut rates
are used. Among Missouri newspa-
pcrmen the Ledger's circulation is
considered a model. The Evening
Ledger, issuing over 1900 papers
daily, reaches three-fourths or more
of the 1400 homes in Mexico. The
Weekly Ledger, publishing over 1900
papers weekly covers Mexico's trade
territory efficiently. The Evening
Ledger's circulation has practically
doubled since 1918. To take care of
this growth and to give better service
to both subscribers and advertisers
the Ledger has more than doubled the
space required a few years ago fol
! the mechanical department and added
new equipment to facilitate this ser
vice. 1t is conceded by publisher
that the Ledger covers its field, with
its two publications, probably more
effectively than any other small city
paper in Missouri. We feel our reade
ers and advertisers will be interested
in the above facts, that is why W.
are giving them space.

SLUMP IN PICKLES

THE Santa Ana Cal. Register says
editorially: American pickle manu-.
features are looking sour. The pick
lie industry is having the worst year
in its history. The average pickle
consumption for 1922 is only II
pickles per person. In normal years
it is 81.
"There r a good many reasons
which might account for the situat.
ION. Food chemistry and household
economies have come in for a deal
of study lately, and in securing the
greatest amount of nourishment fol
the least expense, the pickle, how.
ever delicious, plays but a small part
People eat more salads and greer
stuffs and fresh fruits, too, and that
works against the more pungent rel
ishes.
"Mabye, though there are no fig
ures at hand to prove it, deflatior
has not reached the price Of pickles
as it should to create a popular de-
mand. Maybe, too, the industrial
depression and the great strikes
which left so many dinner bucket:
idle on the shelf affected the pickle
market just as did every other in
industry, and with returning pro
sperity the pickle will come into it!

MAY LET ROAD
CONTRACTS ON
DECEMBER

JEFFERSON CITY, Nov. 3.-This
statement was given out here today
by the office of the state highway
commission:
The state highway commission is
planning to bring up for letting about
December l, approximately 3h mil
lon dollars worth of work on the
state bond issue system. A majority
Of the work brought up at the next
letting will be on the secondary sys-
tenn of which Audrain County is a
part.
The commission is making a spe-
cial effort to bring up for letting Sec
tions that require fills and bridging
prior to the improvement of the
road with hard surfacing material.
In a great many places where large
fills should be made, and new brid-
ges built, the work is on new location,
or on sections of road which have
u6EeIOlUIS DCCH SuIldSVNs
The main features that permit
work to be brought up for an early
letting, are, first, the location of the
road is such that it will insure pro-
per service to the travelling public,
and economy in the construction and
maintenance of the road; second,
where the surveys have been made
so that plans may be completed with
the limited forces which we have
available at this time and which is
not busy in supervising construction
work now in progress; third, where
we have the right of way for all re-
locations and widening Of existing
highways that is needed to enable the
commission to build the tpye Of road
that will suit the present and future
traffic requirements.
On sections of road where reloca-
tons are necessary for both economy
and service to the traveing public,
they are being made just as rapidly
as possible. AS o o as the proper
route has been determined, complete
surveys will be made so that the
local people may have an opportu'
nifty to secure the necessary right-of'
way. We hope to have the majority
of our surveys complete within the
near future, so that the local people
may have ample time to provide the
right-of-way, and so that the worf
can be brought, up for letting with
out necessary delay.
The commission expects to have
large majority of surveys and plan'
completed before January l, so tina
it may use some discretion in pick
ing sections of work for grading an'
draining, as this needs to be don
considerably in advance of surfac
ing the road. . At

1t is not contended that this region
should quit the growing of grain, but
a great many are forced to admit
that the exclusive growing of grain
is very uncertain. For this reason
some change must be made in the
farm system. The silo will furnish
the means for utilizing to the best
advantage, the crops which must be
grown in the rotation, and there is
no question but that a systematic ro-
tation of crops, and the use of manure
produced by the stock which should be
kept on the farm, will result in the
growing of fully as much small grain
as is now produced, and these other
farm enterprises may be carried on in
addition.
As before stated, corn is the great
silage crop, but other things may also
be put in the silo. Alfalfa is one crop
that has not shown any great improve
ment when used in the silo. That is.
alfalfa hay, when cut at the proper
time, makes such an excellent feed
that little or nothing could be done to
increase its value. This hay, with
corn or sunfower silage, makes the
best combination of feeds that it is
possible to have.
Montana must continue to be a
great stock region, in which dairying
must have a place, and it. is known
that no region in the United States
has realized the full benefits in this
line of farming without good alfalfa
or sweet clover hay. These things
may be had here just as readily as
any place in the United States. 1t is
simply a question of getting them
which all will do when their value is
appreciated.
Alfalfa on every farm, and a siIo
with every barn, means prosperity.

THE STRANGER IN OUR LAND.

All previous records of tourist travel were broken this year at
the Yellowstone National park according to the figures given out
by the superintendent of that great playground of the nation, and
1t is presumable that the same occurred in Montana's other won
derland, Glacier park. The parks are now officially closed for the
season, although, of course, they are still open to tourists who are
provided with their own means of subsistence. The high attitudes
encountered in the national parks of Montana is the reason for
closing them officially thus early, as winter is apt to make an early
appearance in the high lands with its accompaniment of snow and
difficult travel, but as a matter of fact the usual weather for Sep
tember and October in Montana is the most delightful period of
the whole year and furnishes a variety to the cooring of nature
that possesses points of beauty superior to the brilliant green's of
summer time. Clear skies and brilliant sunshine annihiate dis
lance and brings wonderful expanse to the view, while early SHOWS
give a setting to the mountains which enhances them with a new
beauty and glittering contrast.
The revenue from the tourist travel is now a continuous asset
to Montana and the means which have been used to induce this
travel has been fully justified. We have spent enormous sums
upon our main roads but there is no doubt but that it will come
back many fold in the course of time. We have advertised and we
have delivered the goods and nothing can now stop the flood of
sightseers who will invade Montana each recurring season.
Most of our own people have seen one or another of the great
parks at some time during the past, but there are lots of us who
have not yet seen all there is to see in Montana. To those who
have a few days spare time and an automobile we would suggest
they plan a little trip each year after the tourist season is over.
Take in one or two of the big valleys of the state and note the
progress in home building the evidences of successful farming
and the note of prosperity in the larger percentage of effort. 1t
is there and it is incontrovertibe to anyone who observes care
fully. We have been in the habit of thinking the farmer of Mon
tana was up against it, but a trip of this kind will enlighten the
most pessimistic, especially at this time of the year when the
evidence is in full view.
