MEXICO MAN
MEETS INVENTOR
OF FORD CAR

One of the most interesting exper-
fences of DR.. ]. F. Jolley during his
recent motor trip was a thirty-ninute
talk with Henry Ford. DR.. Jolley
was about FIVE or six miles from De-
troit when he was forced to detour
because Of some improvements which
were being made on the roads. Not
being sure that he was, on the right
road hecalled to a man who was
walking down the road and asked
him if he we're on the right road to
Detroit. The man turned aronud to
answer the question and DR.. Jolley
recognized him as Henry Ford at once
from the many pictures he had seen.
Mr.. Ford came over tothe car and
began talking to DIR. Jolley and his
party, asking them the condition of
the strike in the Middle West and
said he would close down his plant
September 16 If the matter was not
settled. Upon hearing that the party
was from Mexico, Mo-, he said that
he was once through here on his way
from st. Louis to Kansas City in an
automobile.
Mr.. Ford invited theparty to visit
his plant and said he had 100 men
employed for no other purpose than
to show visitors over the factory,
which among its other interesting
things has hospital as up-to-date
and well equipped as any in Detroit
DR.. Jolley was much impressed
with Mr.. Ford's cordial manner and
interesting personality and described
him as being about sixty, well dressed
and exactly like his pictures"

SCHOOLS ARE
DISMISSED
EARLY WE'D.

The students in the grade school
were dismissed at 2:30 Wednesday
afternoon on account Of the intense
heat, and classes at Mcmillan High
School We're dismissed at $3.50. L. B.
Hawthorne, superintendent of schools
said Thursday morning that it was
probable that the grade schools and
high school would dismiss early
while the heat continued, as it was
impossible to do efficient work under
the existing weather conditions.
Schools in Kansas City were dis
missed on account of the heat Tues
day for the first time in their his
tory. This action was taken in ac-
cordance with the rule made long
time ago that classes may be dis
missed when the temperature in the
school rooms exceeds 90.
The mercury went to 80 Wednes-
day. The night was the hottest of the
summer, the lowest temperature be-
ing 70.

STUDENTS
ENROLLING
At HARDIN

Members of the Mexico Rotary
Club and number of other Mexico
residents were at the station at 8
o'clock Monday afternoon to welcome
the Hardin College students who
were to arrive on special car from
Kansas City. About fifty motor cars
were there to take the students for a
drive over the city. Many students
however failed to make connections
with this train.
Practically all of the rooms in the
old dormitory at Hardin College are
taken now and it looks like the num-
Der of students who win board in the
school this year will be about the
same as last year. The number of
students enrolling in the school from
Mexico however is larger but the
number has not yet been checked up.
Students are arriving on every
train and the faculty at the school is
busy helping them register. More
than half of the number who had
tickets for the train from Kansas
City which carried a special Hardin
coach Monday failed To make con
nections with the train on account Of
trains being delayed by the strike.

AUDRA|N JAIL
CLASSED AS
VERY POOR

According to information received
here the Audrain County Jail is class
ed as Every poor" by William L. Mil
ler, supervisor of county iails and
almshouses. Rails County is one of
the nearby counties whose Jail comes
under this same classification, which
means that they arewithout proper
light and ventilation, lacking in san
itary facilities and damp and odor-
Gus. In speaking of the jails in this
class, Mr.. Miller says, "The condition
of these jails is intolerable. They
should be closed and their prisoners
placed elsewhere.
The jails of Boone and Callaway
counties comes under the classifica-
tion Of "poor' and Lincoln and Pike
aretwo Of the thirty-four counties
receiving the classification cf 'sfair."
Six counties in the State have no.
jails.
In summing up the situation Mr..
Miller says, "on the whole the coun-
ty Jail in Missouri as elsewhere, has
failed. A state farm for misde-
meanants, of more than thirty days
imprisonment. is needed. Other states
have proved the wisdom cf this
plan"

The storm which struck Centralia
at 6 O'Clock Saturday evening des-
troyed number of buildings and did
large amount Of damage to tele-
phone and electric light wires. No

The Missouri Utilities Company
has not yet received detailed report
Of the damage to its lines but the
regular force of men and a number of
extras under the direction Of G. G.
gle are at work there now. About 60
of the light poles are down which
means that over a mile Of wire is
down. It has mot been reported
whether Centralia is without light

ing use Of their old light plant to fur
nish the city with power.
The wire chief at the Southwestern
Bell Telephone Company said that
the storm was very peculiar one.
The twister seemed to be about thirty
feet in the air and would swoop down

MEXICO MISSOURI THURSDAY
The Missouri Farmers Assn
Makes Proposition On Merger

the state are given an opportunity
to speak their honest views, then we
venture to prophesy riiat nine out Of
ten Of them viii kick mere sentiment
>ality aside and ask for a chance to
help us complete what is already the
most effective farmers marketing
machinet the Corn Belt has ever
known especially considering the
fact that the annual membership
dues Of the Missouri Farmers Asso-
citation are only half those exacted
by the Farm Bureau.
However as a condition precedent
to any friendly understanding that
may be arrived at, we here and now
ask that the Missouri Farm Bureau
Federation, officially demand that
the Producers Livestock Cozhmission
Company at the National Stockyards
be disbanded and discontinued within
so days from the date Of such friend
ly understanding. And we ask this
because we cannot believe that any
set Of fair minded men would seri-
ously propose better team work,
knowing that at that moment the per-
formance of their organizatioh at the
National Stockyards is making the
sacred name of cooperation mat
ter of jest and ridicule Ahrpughout
/ the land. We say this further be-
cause the Farmers Livestock Com
mission Company started up In bus
mess months before the said Pro-
ducers' Company was organized and
because the leaders Of the Missouri
Farmers Association made every
! reasonable effort to reach q friendly
understanding in order that the hu-
initiating spectacle of two rival CO.
operative commission companies at
the same market might be prevented
and also that the organized farmers
who ship livestock to the National
Stockyards might save the tleusands
of dollars necessary to conducting
two commission companies instead d
one. We further ask that the Mis-,
souri, Farm Bureau Federation i'm
mediately and publicly announce that
it will discontinue its efforts to op,
en- up second Cooperative Live.
stock Commission Company at tht
Kansas City Stock Yards where ths
Farmers Union Of Kansas end ths
Missouri Farmers Association ar'
now successfully operating I spIen
did company Of this kind---and i
) this connection we desire to point t;
the fact that the Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON Of Kansas has already takei
such action. There is an old saying
that he who would invoke equit!
"must come into court with cleai
hands," We commend this venerable
axiom to the Farm Bureau LEADER
Of Missouri and have no doubt tha
they win recognize its profound ap
plication in the present instance.
Il Lastly, we desire to express conf
\ dence in the directors Of the Missour
.rIsarmers' Association with whom tn
upbuilding of the great Farm CIul
Movement has been a labor of low
and we here and now commit all fu
ture negotiations concerning thi
matter into their hands. If the fore
going suggestions appeal to tn
, Farm Bureau leaders of the state
then we win be glad to have ther
, meet the directors Of our State Asso
citation at their earliest convenience.
