GROUN0HOG
SAW SHADOW
THURSDAY

Thursday was indeed an important
day, not that we celebrated the birth
days of a famous man IN that day or
that it was the anniversary of any
great battles or military conquests.
The thing which made the day worthy
of a star on our calendar was much
more important than ANY of these
things. For it was none other than
Grounding Day, the momentous day
which decides whether we are to wear
u winter furs for another six weeks
or pack them away in meth balls i'm
mediately.
At noon Thursday as the ground
hog rolled sleepily from his hole with
his fur coat buttoned tightly about
his neck, the sun was shining so
brightly that it Immediately cast a
long shadow of him. Thereupon the
Grounding was frightened back into
his hole and grumbling, rolled over
for another six weeks sleep.
The grounding is an animal of
many aliases. ell is a wood chuck
and in many places of the United
States the day is known as Wood
chuck Day. But we contend that
when the w~oodchuck starts in to
prophecy about the weather he is
just a plain grounding. In Europe
he is known as the American Marmot
and when the Academy of Science
wishes to speak of him, he is known
Arctomy's Monax. But whatever
you wish to call him, the fact remains
that he saw his shadow Thursday
and Mexico residents might as we'll
forget their dreams of spring hats

NEGRO SHOT
BY WIFE SAT-

Charlie Russell, a negro living at

wife Saturday afternoon. The body
was brought to Mexico on the late
train Saturday night and the cor
oner's inquest was held late Monday
afternoon.
Russell, who was about 40 years
old, had been ~quarreling with his
wife for some time. Saturday after
noon he went to the ,~postoffice and
tried to induce the postmaster to let
him have his wife's mail and when the
postmaster refused, returned home
and again q~uarreled with his wife,
who shortly afterward shot him. The
only witness was his brother. The wife
is being held in Jail at C~urryville.

while the Audrain assessment was

The chinch bug is threatening to
be a great menace in several Central
Missouri counties this year as last,
according to reports received by Sam
Jordan of the Missouri Board of Ag-
riculture, who recently spoke in Mex
leo in connection with theaagricul-
tural demonstrations held at the
Barnes-Boyd Motor Company.
Mr.. Jordan comments on the situa-
ton as follows:
Most Of the counties that were in
tested during the past season have
Fad considerable rainfall during the
late summer AMI early autumn, and
this means that especially in corr
fields there is now in dry form an
abundant growth of crabgrass and
foxtail-and this spells that hollows,
gullies, fence-rows and waste places
are very generally covered with rank
growth Of old weeds, grass and un-
der-brush.
"We dislike very much to advocate
the burning of vegetable matter on
any Of our cultivated lands, but there
are conditions that may justify the
practice Sometimes, such as are here
cited.
1t would seem that when condi-
lions such as these are found that
the torch should be applied. But let
it be understood that if the burning
is left until warm days come that lit
tie or no good will result therefrom.
"When the first warm days come,
the bugs will take fight and millions
will be in the air on their hunt for
wheat fields.
w. G. Schuette, Audrain county,
Mo-, sheepman, had on the St. Louis
market Tuesday band of 151 lambs
averaging 81 lbs. that were good
enought to suit the city butchers at

Among the well-known Audrain
county sheepmen represented on the
St. Louis market Tuesday were Sims
Bros, Grover and Elvey r. They had
a partnership load Of 125 lambs av-
eraging rs lbs at $50, while Grover
sold 1872 head weighing 81 lbs at
