LAUNDRY STARTS
IMPROVEMENTS THIS FALL

Work will start soon on a new boiler
room at the Crown Laundry plant in
this city to house a 120 h. p. boiler
and also extra coal bins. This is a
part of the proposed new addition to
the laundry which will be erected on
the lot just east of the present larn-
dry building on Liberty street.
Ben Elliott, architect, has drawn the
plans for the new addition and it will
make the present laundry one Of the
best equipped and best arranged out
side of the larger cities. Owing to a
shortage of labor, Mr.. Williams does
not plan to complete the full structure
until spring.
Several new departments will be
added to the laundry. Just what
they are Mr.. Williams, at this time,
does not care to announce. The Crown
Laundry is n of the best in the state
and Mr., Williams keeps it abreast Of
the times in every particular.

HILLS AND HOSPITALITY.

KANSAS CITY is the second city
in size in Missouri and the first in
hills and hospitality.
II began its ~existance as a trading
post and judging from its rapid
growth the many pioneers who started
west to mature with the country found
it a good thing to tie TO.
Its early ruggedness has been shay
ed and shampooed by the razor q
civilization until a finished charm turks
in its hills bandaged with bouIevards
and upholstered with handsome build
inEs Of granite and brick.
Kansas City is in the heart Of
America" and the Missouri Press As
sociation, also, since entertaining
this organization recently.
Kansas City is the greatest winter
wheat market In the world - winte-
wheat which is delivered by rail and
not by wire. II is second in the live
stock market with world competition
and, with the spirit Of the West, work
ing steadily to gain first place. With
progressive pride and unlimited am
bition Kansas City wants to be and
will be first in any field it seeks 10
dominate. This spirit is reflected
from a thousand clouding chimneys
and hundreds Of sturdy elevators
fairly groaning beneath the avoirdu-
pois of their grain.
The hospitality Of Kansas City pos
sesses the open hearted warmth Of
the South and the cordial conaraderic
Of the West It's handclasp is 100 Der
cent true and its heart big enough to
welcome all Manhattan with its cabs
and cabarets and sitting the goats Of
Broadway from the sheep Of Seventh
avenue proceed to make them regular
folk.
Kansas City is a real simon-pure
18-carat American city whose purling
clouds Of industry have a silver lin
ing and whose people know only one
hyphen and that in the word co-opera-
ton.
1t is a city Missouri is proud Of as
well as one the entire United States
accepts as an example in civic and IN
dustrial progress.
Kansas City, with real Missouri
spirit, is showing the world

MEXICO GIRL IN LATE
NEW YORK OPERETTA

Mss Evelyn Paul, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. r. c. Paul, Of this city, is
now with the new Shubert Musical
Comedy, Alone at Last" whose re-
cent opening on Broadway in New
York received such commendable tri-
butes from the Manhattan critics.
Miss Paul, whose voice was heard
here frequently in local entertain
ments, was in vaudeville last season,
playing the well known Maurice Lowe
time through the East. She met with
splendid success in her work there and
it proved a Etepping stone to a field
of opera. She has a beautiful sopra-
no voice and a most attractive per-
sonality.
Much Of her musical education was
received here. She is quite young and
the fact that she has reached Broad
way 90 early in life is Indicative OF
the larger success which awaits her
in a few years, should she continue.
Her many Mexico friends will be de-
lighted to hear of her success and join
the Ledger in wishing her further
honors on the stage.

FIRE BUG" BREAKS LOOSE
IN TWO PLACES FRIDAY

The Mexico firemen went break
fastless to answer two alarms Fri.
day morning. One alarm came at
$3.50, firemen deserted bacon and
eggs and answered, They went back
to the deserted meal shortly after
seven, then were called away again
by the fire whistle. Neither Of the
fires were Of a serious nature. Some
one suggested that the city council be
asked to equip the fire wagon with
lunch boxes for such occasions as this.
Friday morning at 6:30 a small fire
was discovered in the house on Cal
houn street, occupied by Ben Doug
lass, colored. In making the run
when the wagon went over the cross
ing on Liberty street by the La Crosse
Lumber Company's office, the Jolt
broke the king bolt and it was only by
careful driving that the front truck
was kept under the wagon. Had the
truck wheels out from under the
wagon a serious accident might have
resulted. Use of the chemical ap-
paratus 500 extinguished the small
blaze in the kitchen roof, caused by
a defective flue. The wagon was
lacked up and the truck replaced, and
the wagon taken to Haskell's garage
for repairs. While the king bolt was
being replaced an alarm was turned
in from DR.. Underwood's home on
Eastholm street at 7:30.
The hose in the fire wagon was
placed in Al Hendricks transfer wag-
on, and in cars and by any means of
transportation available the fremen
made the second run of the morning.
DR.. Underwood's car, which was in
the barn back Of the house had caught
fire, supposedly from a short circuit
in the electric wires. The car was
backed out Of the shed and the fire
extinguished when the Department
reached the scene.
81 am used to this, remarked a
fireman, as he rode back to town
perched on the side of the transfer
wagon, 1--WE used to make runs like
this in the old days"
