STEADY FARM INCOME.

THE Mexico Chamber Of Commerce
could do nothing in an industrial line
that would be of greater benefit to
Mexico and Audrain county that to
secure plant that would increase
the local demand for milk and cream
and develop the dairy industry in
this section.
We have had any number Of farm
ers tell US that their incomes from
their dairy cows pay more than
their farm expenses and that with
an increased demand for milk and
cream here more farmers would be
justified in buying dairy stock and
securing an all the year around in
come from their farms that would
place them independent of grain crop
failures.
We make no pretense at know
ledge of farming. We are only ac-
cepting the opinion of farmers who
have tried the plan and proven it a
success. If the Chamber of Com
merce will make a larger market
her for dairy products and a drive
with the Farm Club organizations to
have more Audrain farms with dairy
stock on them much good should re-
suit.
This is a matter for immediate
action The sooner such a plan
materializes and results are shown
the better will be conditions generally
throughout the county. The dairy
industry is stable, all-the- year
around business.
1t makes for good living and good
busines conditions. 1t insures
against suffering when the grain
crops fail, and keeps a community
balanced as to business and income re
sgardless of crop or economic uncer-
tainties. We should unite for i'm
mediate action on this subject. We
cannot afford to delay as the time is
'ripe" and we believe the matter can
be successfully launched.

REED
CAMPA|GNED FOR
The DEMOCRATS
BY CURTIS A. BELTS

Dispatch.

BY CURTIS A. BELTS
A Staff Correspondent of The POST
Dispatch.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, June "a
Breckenridge Long, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator in Missouri,
asserted in one of his recent speeches
that II never went to Wisconsin and
campaigned for Republican for United
States Senator"
Senator Reed, his opponent, who
canpaigned Wisconsin in, 1920 foA
James Thompson, Republican and
the LaFollette candidate for Senator
on an independent ticket, replied that
"any man who said / campaigned for
the Republicans in Wisconsin is a
liar He further asserted that he
was entertained by the Democratic
committees in the cities in which he
spoke, and that his campaign was
against Senator Lenroot, whom he
described as the worst type of stand
pat Senator. He said the Democrats
of Wisconsin knew they could not
elect Senator and that their interest
was in defeating Lenroot.
Denies Reeds Statement.
Vehement and positive denial of
Reeds statement was made here re-
Gently by John P. Hume, chairman
Of the Democratic State Committee
of Wisconsin, and in Madison by
Miles C. Riles, chairman of the Dem
ocratic County Committee of Dane
County, where Reed delivered one of
his speeches.
These two party officials said that
it was thoroughly understood by the
Democratic organization that Reed
was brought into Wisconsin by La
Toilette to campaign for the La Fol
lette ticket, and that his speeches
I were so construed. They also said
that Reeds appearance in the State
was construed as an encouragement
toN Democrats who were threatening
( to bolt the ticket and to either vote
for Harding or not at all.
! The situation in Wisconsin in 1920
was this:
La Toilette sought to control all
nominations on the Republican ticket
and succeeded with the exception of
/ two offices, United States Senator and
/ Attorney General. Senator Lenroot,
who had been a mild reservationist in
the Senate, obtained the nomination
over Thompson, the La Toilette can
didate, who was pledged to stand with
La Toilette against any kind Of q
League of Nations.
~ can say to you that Reed gave
/ all the aid in his power in Wisconsin
/ to defeating the Democratic nominee
1 for United States Senator, whom we
Mexico weekly ledger., 1922-06-29

Reeds campaign speeches is both in
,eresting and enlightening. Reed
gilifies everyone and everything not
in accord with his policies or selfish
interests. Long is delivering con-
structive democratic addresses based
apon important political party issues.
There is no demagogery in Mr.. Longs
campaign talks while Mr.. Reed de-
votes practically his entire verbal
effort in sarcastic acrobatics tending
to color the facts and distorting their
true meaning in his own behalf. TAX
ing their campaign speeches Mr..
Reed would have you believe that he
is entitled to the office because he
and he alone has never been wrong,
regardless of historical record and
unassailable facts. Mr.. Long asks
thesuffrage of the democratic voters
of Missouri because ne intends to
support party policies and represent
his constituency along the lines of the
best political and accepted usages in
American craftsmanship. That is
why we support Mr.. Long for this
Office and why indications are daily
coming in that Mr.. Long viii be the
victor in the primary August first.
Political bombast of the type Reed is
generating and spreading broadcast
through the Nbosky dells" of Mis-
souri, cannot stand the light of cold
reason or the acid test of history no
matter how you attempt to submerge
the facts. Truth will out and with
it will be the passing of Reed as a
political leader in Missouri.

MOTHER SEEKING
DAUGHTER, ASKS
HELP OF COUNCIL.

In Dale, Ind, an old mother is
worried about her daughter, from
whom she has not heard for many
weeks. Thinking the young wom-
an might have come to Rock Is
land the mother last week wrote
ITO the Council Board, Rock Is
land, ILL.," asking that the city Of
ficials help her find her child. The
letter, enclosing kodak picture
of "Syvilla," the daughter, is as fol-
lows:
"DaM, Ind, June 20, 1922-Dear
Sir: l enclose this letter asking
if you could help me in some way
to find my girl, Miss Syvilla M
Senoff of Dale, Ind. The last let
ter we received from her was on
May 9, stating she would be home
in two weeks and have not receiv-
ed any word since, although l wrote
time and again.
But she is a fine little girl, as
you will find if you only can locate
her To say mother is worried is
very mild way to put it. This is
an awkward letter, but it is my
feelings. Anything will be all
right, just to know where she is, as
l am so worried. Mrs. NJ. E. Sen
off, Dale, Ind "
The picture enclosed shows Sy-
villa to be a woman of probably %,
attired in a dark skirt, white
blouse, high leather shoes and car
