,esson has been so dwelt upon by the
schools Of agriculture that the marketing
problem has been neglected.
So far as the welfare Of the farmer is
concerned, the lesson Of marketing his
produce is Of vital importance. The
farmer has never been able TO secure a
stable market for his produce. He must
be able TO do so il he expects TO continue
farming. He>has slowly come to realize,
owing to narrow marketing possibilities,
that the more he produces Of any COM
modify. the lower the price Of that COM
modify goes. Under such circumstances.
why should he struggle TO increase pro-
duction?
The time is coming when tho farmer
will attack this second lesson, and he
will not stop until j, is mastered. He
will see TO it that there is a stable market
for what he produces. and then he will
take pride in seeing how much he can
produce.
The sooner the farmer learns the Two
lessons Of production and marketing. the
sooner will peace and prosperity come,
not only to the farmer. but to the nation
as well.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS:
ABOUT ROAD BUILDING

Missouri viii soon enter into construc-
iion Of 5000 miles Of highways, l,5OO
miles Of which will be hard surfaced.
This means that for several months a
large pan Of the best roads in the state
will be torn up, and that iney will either
be closed entirely to the travelling public
or will be used only with considerable in
convenience.
The contractors who build these roads
should take every reasonable precauiion
that traffic be not interfered with any
more than is absolutely necessary. The
roads should be kept open as long as
possible and in as good condition as pos
sible. The roads should be built in short
sections, with the various operations fol-
lowing each other closely. There is no
reason why several miles Of road
should be blocked for months. If the
contractor keeps the work well in hand,
the first plowing need not be more than
a mile ahead of the completed grading.
In several eastern states roads have
been built in halves. Wisconsin will fol-
low this plan next year in the construc-
lion of culyeris. When the half-at-a-time
method permits only one direction of
traffic, the stream of passing motorists is
sometimes regulated by telephone.
Detours should be few and short, and
they should be graded and unmistakably
marked. There is no more disheartening
feeling TO the motorist than to find him
self suddenly in some farmers yard at
midnight.
A few simple precautions will prevent
many accidents and save travellers time,
money and temper.

RESPECT FOR OLD AGE

Though the wisdom Of old age is some
times questioned, respect and reverence
is rarely begrudged it. Sometimes, in this
widely heralded age Of American happers
and fippancy, the old are in danger Of
being run over, but not often. The sight
Of a grey temple or the sound Of a soft,
sharp voice strikes deeper than we realize.
A picture appeared in an American
weekly publication some time ago that
illustrates why it is natural for old age
TO be respected. The title of the picture
was Somebody's Mother" A husky
traffic policeman had halted traffic while
he assisted an old lady across the busy
street. The ''cop" seemed to be growing
a warning TO impatient truck drivers and
millionaires' chauifeurs, while he guided
this frail person, Somebody's MOTHER
through the crowded traffic lane to safe
iy. Thoughts of ones own parents.
whether or not their heads have already
keen tinged with grey, should ins,ill
respect for old age.
If the spoils belong to the victor, those
who have won life's battles and passed
into the autumn Of their lives should be
granted the privilege Of enjoying what
they have won. And those who seem fated
10 fight losing game to the last should
be helped by the younger and more ac.
tive generation. Old age in something to
be desired, achieved, and respected.

The Thinkers Thought.

The en,crnal forms through which life
realizes itself. whether school. family. So
cieiy. church or state. tend to fix them
selves and to check the life which grows
through them. There is perennial
strife between those who are loyal to
forms as against the idea, and those who
are loyal TO the idea as against the form.

new ELECTION
NEEDED TO VOTE
SCHOOL LEVY

In speaking Of the defeat Of the
school levy in the city election here
Tuesday, S. P. Emmons, who has
been a member of the Mexico School
Board for about 33 years says, "The
people of Mexico will vote the levy
without a doubt when they are given
another opportunity as they will be,
for they have neved yet failed to take
car Of the schools
Thefact that the levy was defeated
can be explained in the fact that
manly were excited in the outcome of
the election Of the candidates and
others did not fully understand the
levy asked for.
The law provides for a levy Of 40
cents for school purposes and any
thing additional must be voted each
year. Last year the levy voted by
the people Of Mexico was 81. Sixty
cents of this amount to go for teach
ers' salaries and 40 cents for inciden-
tails and the upkeep of the buildings.
This with the levy provided for by
the law made $1.40 on the hundred
dollars valuation for school purposes.
When the valuation Of property was
raised the board voluntarily decreas-
ed this amount to 81 cents, the amount
voted by the people additional being
only 45 cents instead of the dollar
voted.
The law further provides that the
school board may ask for the money
needed to take care Of the bonded in
debtedness. Last year only Is cents
was asked for this purpose and 10
cents will do it this year as there is
a surplus on hand.
The levy asked for all school pur-
poses this year was 40 cents in 0 n
trast to the 81 voted lsat year and
still it was defeated.
If the levy is not acted upon favI
orably by the voters when it is again
