TO INSTALL
new TURBINE

The Missouri Utilities Company Of
Mexico has purchased a 1000 horse
power turbo-generator set from the
Westinghouse Electrical Company
and the work Of installation will
start at once. The lot across from
the power plant has been purchased
by the company and a spray pond
will be built there. The cost of the
turbine, the spray pond and the spe-
cial foundations will be about $4,000,
w. F. Corl said Thursday.
The turbine is the very latest de-
sign and will make 5000 revolutions
a minute. 1t will be fitted with a con-
denser and bleeding" arrangement
whereby it can produce heat. The
company has three reasons for pur-
chasing the new turbine: II will give
them more reserve power; allow the
company to expand and will produce
power with less coal. 1t will not be
better for producing heat than the
present engines in use but will be
better for producing power. 1t will
double the capacit Of the plant. The
work will be completed in about four
months.

pr. ]. G. Pasqueth, who returned to
Mexico Wednesday afternoon from
Glacier National Park, IS enthusiastic
over the 10O-mile walking "trip which
he took through the Park with his
brother. DR.. Pasqueth made the trip

dent, could go as far or as short q
distance as he desired and had no
horse to bother with. The "trip COW
cred i space of eight days. Dr. Pas
queth and his brother stopped at inns
along the way, which are convenient
Iy situated at from twelve to eighteen
mikes apart.
The park itself is about the size
'of Yellowstone Park and il becoming
more widely known for Its beauties
each year. The park has 250 lakes
but Is chiefly known for It's sixty
beautiful glaciers.

There are now ninety-seven stu
dents from rural districts near Mex
leo enrolled in Mcmillan High School.
At first thought this large fegistra-
tion of non-residents pupils may not
sem to mean more than a recognition
Of the excellent courses offered by the
local high school. But upon second
thought it is easily seen what an ex-
cellent thing it is for the merchants
Of Mexico.
Each student will pay $40 tuition
durin gthe year and will pay an aver
age of about $35 month for board
and room, this with the incidentals,
books and clothing purchased here,
make an estimate Of $4O0 school
year for each pupil, very conserva-
tive estimate. Which means that the
nonresident students who are now
enrolled in Mcmillan, will bring into
Mexico at least $Ss,8oO during the
next eight months.

STUDENTS FIND
BOARD AND TUITION
CHEAPER IN MEXICO

AIthur and Harold Brown, enrolled
in the freshman and junior classes Of
Mcmillan High School respectively,
find that they can save almost $500
during the year by attending school
in Mexico instead Of Fulton. Harold
took his freshman and sophomore
work in Fulton. Upon investigation
this year he found he could not
get good board and room for himself
and brother for less than $40 a month
and tuition for the year for the two
would be $10O. In Mexico they could
get the same kind Of board and room
for $50 and the tuition would be $40.
The difference in the laboratory fees
and incidentaIs in the two schools
would bring the amount saved by
coming to Mexico to about $500 for
the year and they find the range Of
courses wider at Mcmillan.

DETROIT, Spt. 19.-It was esti-
mated at the Ford executive offices
that approximately $4,000 workmen,
earning $43S,00O daily, were affected
by the order to shut the plants.
Henry Ford, whose latest figures
estimated an average production
daily of $500 cars, at an accredited
profit of $50 each, would lose, accord
ing to these figures, approximately
$27O,400 day in profits, to which
must be added the overhead costs of
an idle organization which would
practically double this amount.

our own plants where it is made into
butter and cheese. We have IA plants.
when we had only bargaining
association the dealers made the
prices and we had to accept it,just as
every bargaining association has had
to do always. If we did not like the
price, all we could DO was howl. That
is how we learned that we would
never get anywhere if we depended
upon bargaining association to get
us fair prices for milk. We turned
them into a marketing company, built
our plants, took care Of our own
surplus, and we are in a position to
get price from the dealers that is
equal to what the milk is worth.
"The surplus is what makes the
price. You must prepare I'd handle
the surplus yourselves, or you cannot
merchandise your produce. If you
make the dealers handle the surplus,
you will get surplus prices for all
your milk, just as you are now doing.
That is why plants are necessary and
why marketing company Il neces-
sary.
/ 1.-THE dealers are not fools They
viii use sou as long al they can if
you have 10 surplus plants no con-
tracts controlling your milk and no
money. you will betreated IS anyone
