human, just women. We had the
vision of the coming generation
the children growing up, in Mex
leo, and we thought of the great
good we might accomplish in Sc
curing a library. These were the
incentives and our inspiration"
The closing address Of the ev-
ening was by President John w
Million of Hardin College. He
believed that a library is more
than just a mere collection OF
books. There must be discrimina-
tion in the selection of books,
right discrimination in the selec
ton of the literature. Books in
fiuence the lives and moral stand
ing of men and women.
All the speakers had the warm
est praise for Mr.. and Mrs. Llew
ellyn for their gift Of the lot for
the library.
When the records were deposit
ed in the corner stone Mrs. Llew
ellyn handled the trowel. She said
it had fallen to her lot thruout the
move pent for the library to rep
resent the labor element and to do
the drurgery.
The following were the contents
of the box deposited in the cor
ner stone: Copies of the Mexico
Message, Mexico Ledger, Mexico

proposition before the voters !;
