A BIRTHDAY

THE Weekly Ledger has just pass.
ed its 64th birthday. OF this period
it has been under the management OF
r. M. White and R. M. White G. Sor
for As years.
Since the present management has
been in charge the Ledger has de.
veloped from a nine column four
page paper published in the second
story of the present Ledger building
to an eight page seven column paper
whose quarters today take practically
the entire lower floor of the building
and a part of the basement as we'll
as a half of the second story of the
structure.
The Weekly Ledger is essentially a
paper for the Farmer and
a such much of its space
is devoted to news of inter-
est to the farmer and in the promo
ton OF matters in which the farmer
is vitality interested. It is known in
Audrain as 1.-THE County Seat Week.
ly" and as such circulates through
out every part of Audrain as well as
in the adjoining counties.
The management is appreciative
Of its steadily growing circulation as
well as the hundreds of subscribers
who have been upon our books for
many years. We have used every eff
fort to make it a better paper from
year to year and the response from
the public has lead US to believe that
our work has been successful in a
degree and spurred US to greater eff
forts to improve the publication.
The Weekly Ledger's subscription
list is over 1900 and is PAID IN
ADVANCE. At the expiration of a
srihFgribers time, if the paper is not

THRIFT

THE Mexico Savings & Loan
Association will pay out its series of
stock No. S about March LIST. This
organization is a splendid means of
saving your money and letting it
work for you while it accumulates.
It is also a decided aid to the man
or woman desiring to build or buy a
home.
1t is supervised by the state, has
been in operation here for many
years and has successfully retired
several issues of stock. To those who
desire to save in small amounts and
have their money working for them
at the same time there no more ideal
method of saving money.

NO solution for economic troubles
viii wei permanently succeed that is
not in perfect accord with basic
economic laws. This is a point a
great many people seem to overlook
including some of our Lawmakers.
Sound prosperity will return TO these
United States in accordance with the
operation of basic economic laws and
In no other way. Incidentally inter-
national credit will play an important
part in the bringing Of better times
to this nation regardless of the pol
itical palaver of certain Washington
demagogues. The plausibility Of
some of our so-called statesmen may
fool a part oft the people but to the
thinking public their peurile efforts
pass for what they really are-bids
for votes.

Road Overseers
And Commissioners
Meet Here Sat.

The road overseers and special
road commissioners of this county met
Saturday in the Audrain County
Court House and discussed plans for
taking care of the roads. State AS
sistant Highway Engineer C. Brown
was present and delivered a very in
teresting and instructive talk to the
men present.
Talks were given by representa-
tives of different road machinery
firms that were very beneficial and
full of information on, the building
and upkeep of the highways. Some
of the local men made short speeches.
The general result of the meeting
was to bring the necessity for main
tanning what roads We have and build
ing others, before the overseers and
commissioners.

WHILE Senator Reed has not an
nounced his intention Of again being
a candidate for reelection his fire.
quent speaking engagements in st.
Louis and elsewhere and the manner
in which his "matchless" oratory is
being served leaves little doubt con-
corning his ultimate decision. How
ever it is evident that the delay is
due to the lack of a pressing demand
owe the state for him to again rep
resent the Democratic party in Wash
ington. The cry in the cities is for
Reed, in many instances, but when
you reach the rural districts he gets
scarcely a whisper.

MEN.
COME BACK
THIS YEAR

The cattle situation in the United
States, which was going down hill
over a very rough road of liquidation
in 1921, has hit a smoother course
and is taking the upgrade so salts
factorily that cattlemen have faced
about in their opinions.
They now believe 1922 will return
a fair degree of prosperity to the
feeder and producer.
The eattleman's credit is being re-
established and that, in the character
of his business, is his greatest asset.
At the same time, the experiences of
last year will make him guard this
Improvement.
Several Factors Enter.
The factors that enter into the i'm
proved situation are:
The mental attitude of cattlemen.
An easier loan situation.
A moderate advance in prices of
fat cattle.
A material advance in fat hogs and
lambs.
An increased demand for fat cat
tie from the extreme East, extreme
West and Northwest.
Last year falling prices made cat
tlemen panicky. They tried to resist
settlements of loans on a falling
market. Some were wiped out fnan-
cially, some succumbed mentally and
physically under the strain. The first
credit move to relieve this situation
was the Stock Growers Finance Cor
poration, a Morgan pool of some so
million dollars. It's organization was
completed July 10, and first loan was
made July 20. Towards the later
part of October the War Finance
Corporation began to function.

NO news announcement regarding
any Mexico institution has been re-
ceived with half the interest and en-
thusiasm as was that Saturday re-
garding the building of a 100000
dormitory at Hardin College. Under
the able direction of President S. ].
Vaughn the school has not only dis
played renewed vigor and possibil-
tiles but he has succeeded in bringing
the community closer to the institu-
ton. Mexico's two colleges are
among its greatest assets and any
thing that contributes to their de-
velopment and prosperity is reflected
in the life of the city both CONNER
cially and socially. The citizens of
Mexico and Audrain county should
lend their active and unified support
to the further development of these
two splendid schools.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1922-03-02

THE matter of giving the proper
attention and training to children
along the line of physical education
as well as during their play is one
that community such as Mexico
should not forget. The state now
has a law which enables school boards
to employ a physical director, part
of whose salary is paid by the state,
whose duty it is to physically educate
the children as well as supervise
their hours of play. All that Mexico
needs to properly arrange for such
work is the equipment at the local
schools. A gymnasium of medium
size at the grade schools and a larger

renewed, it is stopped. We are glad
to say that our renewals average
practically 100 per cent, and we are
adding new readers all the time.
We wish to assure the public that
both the Weekly Ledger and the
Evening Ledger, the latter with a
subscription list of over 1900 and
reaching more than three-fourths Of
the homes of Mexico, will continue
their policy of public service, as in
the past, and nothing will be left un-
done that in anyway will improve
the papers both as public servants,
advertising mediums Of carriers of
news and constructive moulders Of
public opinion. Again we wish to
thank the public for its generous
support.
