"HANDsHAKING IS DEADLY


THE health Of the American nation
is menaced according to an Eastern
physician who declares the custom Of
handshaking is a most unsanitary
one.
From a political standpoint it would

most candidates consider a handshake

Political Primer, although you must
concede that sanitation, in some ways,
has nothing to do with political meth

However we prefer the handshake
to the embrace of the Italian or the

can you imagine a politician seeking

WHEAT ACREAGE
DECREASES IN
AUDRA|N COUNTY

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. g.
Missouri farmers have seeded $685.
900 acres for the 1922 winter wheat
crop, according to E. A. Logan and
Jewell Mayes of the Federal-State
Crop Reporting Service. The seeding
in 1920 was upon 3,217,00O acres, in
1919 upon 3,3O3,00 and in 1918 upon
4,580,0O0.
The farmers of Audrain county
seeded $500 acres of winter wheat
in 1920 compared to 33,400 for the
1922 crop. The wheat conditions at the
present time is IS percent of normal,
and the condition of rye 80 percent.
During the fall months up to Deem
her l, 1921/our farmers did rs per-
cent of the usual acreage of fall plow-
ing in this county and had gathered
70 percent of the 1921 corn crop.
Missouri wheat seeding began late,
on account of u~nceasing rains in Sep
tember, and very little was own be-
fore October first, but continued up to
November and even later in some of
the southern counties. Favorable
weather resulted in more planting
than was expected October first.
The Farm Census of 1921 in Mis-
souri,, as made by the county and
township assessors, whose reports
were in for lat, 401 farms on Nevem-
Der first, listing actual crop acreages
in detail, shows plainly that Missouri

BIG SAVING
FOR FARMERS
= BY RATES

The new schedule of freight rates
to become effective early in January
in Missouri and the Middle West
means thousands of dollars in savings
to the farmers of this section. Accord
ing to Clyde Reed, chairman of the
public utilities commission, of Kansas,
investigation from records show that
in Kansas alone the farmers will save
over seven million dollars in freight.
The interstate commerce commits
sion ordered a reduction that aver
ages around Is per cent on wheat and
commodities, taking that rate which
includes wheat -four made from
wheat,) cereal products ~(uncooked,
manufactured from wheat,) wheat
chops, faxed wheat, crushed wheat,
cracked wheat, rolled wheat and pan
cake flour.
On what is known as parse grain a
reduction was ordered of 10 per cent
below the rate on wheat The reduc-
ton on this group of comodities is
approximately % per cent. This group
includes corn, oats, barley, rye, en-
mer (speltz), bran, feteria, corncob
meal, corn meal, gluten feed, gluten
meal, grits, hominy, hominy feed,
kaffir corn, linseed meal. linseed cake,
maizea, middlings, malt, milo maize,
oat dust, oat flake, oat grpats, oat
hulls, oatmeal, rolled oats, rolled rye,
shorts and sorghums.
On hay and alfalfa meal the rates
will be reduced abot 13 to IA pei
cent.
Any reduction that has been made
in rates on the above commodities
since September /, 1920, is to consti,
tute a part of the 10 per cent order
The public utilities commission esti'
mates the saving on these commo'
dities at IA million dollars in Kansas

A HIGHWAY

AUDRAIN County should have a
Highway Engineer. Those counties
which enjoy the facilities such an Of
fetal give it are doing more road
work, saving more money in such ac-
Invites and getting more intelligent
results than the counties which are
satisfied to be without such an i'm
p~ortant official.
In counties where the highway en-
gineer act has been suspended as in
Audrain the question may be resub-
mitted after the expiration Of one
year upon a petition of 200 t~axpaying
and voting citizens. The petition must
represent two-thirds of townships of
~thecounty The petition is presented
to the county court and then the court
can call an election for the county to
vote whether it shall have a highway
engineer The appointment Of high
way engineer if election carries is
made by the county court for any
length of time and thecourt fixes COM

we understood that the interest as
we'll as the principal ON these bonds
would be paid out of license fees.
Later it was discovered that only the
principal could be paid from this fund
and that the interest on the bonds
must come from taxes levied on prop
erty. Accordingly another amend
ment to the constitution was adopted.
at the special election held last Aug
ust, in which provision was made for
the payment Of the interest as well as
the principal out Of these fees. There
is, therefore, no danger of a property
tax being levied to meet any part Of
the expense Of building these roads
either for payment Of the principal or
the interest Of the bonds, as now pro-
yided.
so far no provision has been made
for the upkeep Of state roads, but at
the special session Of the Legislature
held last fall . third amendment to
the constitution was proposed. to be
voted on at this falls election, auth
orizing the cost Of the upkeep Of state
roads also to be paid out Of automobile
license fees. If this amendment is
adopted, and since there is no oppos-
ition to Ii In either party or from any
source there Is every reason to be
lieve It win be, the taxpayers will not
be called upon 10 meet any part Of
the expense of building or maintain-
ing state highways

LONG
WILL RACE
jim REED

JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 3d.
Democratic supporters of Brecken-
ridge Long of st. Louis are expecting
him to announce within thenext three
weeks his candidacy for the senate as
a primary opponent of Senator James
A. Reed.
Long won the Democratic nomin-
alton for senator last year, but was
defeated for election by Senator Spen-
Ger. He is strongly pro- Wilson and
his campaign last year was largely on
the League of Nations.
Many of Reeds friends have gone
so far as to say the old Woodrow VIII
son crowd in thestate would not have
q candidate against Reed because of
his increasing popularity.
The old bitterness against Reed,
growing out of his opposition to Will
o last year, still shoulders among
the Democrats in the rural sections
of the state.
If Long gets into the race, Reeds
strategy may be to get several can
didates into the primaries contest
with the purpose of breaking up the
opposing vote.
The contest for the Democratic
senatorial nomination promises to be
one of the most interesting political
fights in Missouri for many years.
Undoubtedly Wilson and the League
of Nations will be made an issue, and
perhaps the Washington arms con-
ference.
Longs supporters believe Reed can
be beaten for denomination. They say
Reeds strength lies almost wholly in
Kansas City, St. Louis, st. Joseph and
thecounties near ST. Louis with a
large German-American population.
It is pointed out that Reeds attack
on the Volstead act and his opposition
to suffrage has alienated the women
voters.

THE 1922 LEDGER.

THE Ledger today presents its ad-
yertisers with a bigger circulation
than any Mexico paper ever had be-
fore. 1t was built through careful eff
fort and meeting the demands of the
people as to what they think a ews
paper should be.
The circulation of the Evening Led
ger is over 1900. The circulation of
the Weekly Ledger is past the 1900
mark. This is more circulation by
several hundred in each instance than
any other paper in the county has.
The Ledger is making a special eff
fort to give its many readers better
Features than in the past and among
these features we can assure our
many readers the same high stand
ard of high grade, interesting serial
stories as in the past. Our 1922 SER
ials include a number of the most pop
ular of recent fiction-which in book
form have been selling from SITS to
So a volume.
The management of the Ledger is
making every effort to make the Led
ger better all the time. We especially
appreciate the thoughtfullness of
those many friends who give us news
or telephone it to us. A newspaper is
dependant in a great part upon its
