MARCH RAINFALL
IS UNUSUALLY
HEAVY IN 1922

Over twice as much rain has fallen
here so far in the month of March
this year than during the entire
month last year. The rainfall in
March 1922 was 7 and SO hundredths
inches as compared to 8 and ~ hun
dredths in 1921. One inch of rain
fell here Wednesday night.
Quite a number of merchants in
Mexico have insured themselves
against rain during the Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, which are be-
ing observed as dollar days. Exten-
sive plans have been made and If the
weather prevents the large crowd
from attending the auto truck and
tractor show the merchants loss
would be heavy if they were not In
sured. Most of these policies are fol
800 each day but the terms of then
on the amount of rain fall and the
hours differ. The first policy attach
ed at 6 o'clock Thursday morning.
The company which issued these
policies does not do so on a specula'
tive basis, but issues them on the
same basissas other policies and dis
courages speculation.

W%OLFF-BERGER
STORE HOLDS
FORMAL OPENING

The interior of the Wolff Berger
store which held its formal opening
here Monday was a distinct contrast
to the gray skies and gloomy appear
ance of the down town section Of
Mexico following hours Of rain.
While without all was cherries,
within Mexico's newest store all was
music, lights, flowers and brightly
colored gowns and materials. The
store with it's French gray paneling,
gray show cases and green rugs made
a most attractive background for the
palms, smilax and roses with which
it was decorated.
The store is up-to-date in
in every detail and the goods
displayed is up to the high standard
of the other Wolb-B Berger stores. The
front part of the building is devoted
to dry goods and the back part to
ready made garments.
The Missouri Military Academy
orchestra furnished music during the
afternoon and evening and souvenirs
of beautiful flowers were given to thu
visitors who all during the day pour
ed into thestore to make the acquain
lance of the newcomers and see the
new business house which is in every
way one of which Mexico may b
justly proud.
Among the visitors who were her
for the opening were Mr.. and Mrs
Joseph M. Berger and Omar Martin
of Moberly.
The Ledger joins the people o
Mexico in welcoming this new stor'
to Mexico and wishing it much sue
cess.
