Milton, Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas

Philadelphia Nationals.

Several weeks ago Mrs. Thomas NJ.
Russell and interesting son Milton,
went to st, Petersburg, Fla, to spend
the balance of the winter, and they
had hardly gotten there when the Phil
adelphia National baseball club blew
in" for their spring training.
They had not gotten the travelling
kinks" out of them before Master Mil
ton Russell made their acquaintance
and soon had unfolded to them his
good points as a player of the great
national sport, and after they began
working out" on the park lands, Milt
was there too; and letter received
here states that he now looks, acts and
practices like regular, and If all
signs don't fail, he'll be on the pay
roll before many years of one of the
big league clubs.
Milt is now out of the back-lot

sTRAwS STILL POINT.

Washington, March 15.-Political
straws still continue to point to in
oreasing Republican sentiment over
the country. The first state wide pri-
maries ever held in Indiana showed
remarkably strong Republican vote,
with a much smaller Democratic vote,
and that of the Progressivos APP
preaching the vanishing point. In
Iowa a municipal election at Musca-
tine resulted in Republican landslide,
all the Democrats in Office being re-
placed by Republicans. In Maine the
election in cities resulted in Republi-
can victories, and the unseating Of
Democrats.

State NATIONAL BANK
Reaches the Million Dollar Mark In
Its Statement-Splendid
Showing.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Pub
lie Ledger will be found the state.
ment of the State National Bank OF
this city, on March 7, 1916.
The statement must be very graft
flying to the officials of the bank as
well as the citizens of this city, when
1t is known we have a financial insti-
tuition in our midst doing a million
dollar business, and this, too, in face
of the fact that we have four other
banks and two trust companies, all in
good, sound and aourishing condi-
ton
The total resources of the bank are
$1,000, SO4.76, divided partly as fol-
lows: Loans and discounts, $5O7,-
$3.50; surplus and undivided profits
$SO,OS4.S1; individual deposits, $780,
76i.S7; other deposits, $49, 955.5S, max
ing total deposits $77O,7l9.95.
This is a showing that is hard 10
beat In a small city like Maysville,
with only 1900 population
The officers are Mr.. Charles ID.
Pearce, president; e. T. Kirk, vice
president, and II. C. Sharp. cashier.
The Public Ledger congratulates
these gentlemen upon the splendid
showing thus made and wishes them
continued success.

U. S. WILL NOT
ABANDON SEARCH
Reports That Carranza Has villa Sur.
rounded VIII Not Interfere With
United States Army Plans.

Washington, March 15.-While
there were indications in official dis
patches from Mexico yesterday that
the Carranza government was making
supreme effort to capture Villa and
his bandits with its own forces, there
was no sign that General Funston's
orders to proceed on the same mis-
sion had been modified in any way.
Word that American troops had cross
ed the border was still lacking.
Congress took active notice of the
situation yesterday for the first time.
The House passed a joint resolution
late in the day authorizing the re-
cruiting of the mobile regular army to
full strength. This means the addi-
ton of approximately 10000 fighting
men to the infantry, cavalry and field
artillery. The Senate is expected to
concur today and the necessary orders
will be issued Immediately to fill up
TtBlHltHlb Ou bOTutI uulys
The step was suggested by the army
general staff. 1t is urgently desired
not because of the weakening of the
border force by the expedition, but
ever since the patrol of the border be-
gan the army has been greatly handi-
capped by the skeleton organization of
regiments, companies, troops and bat
teries. The force around Vera Cruz
had similar difficulties, some of the
companies being less than forty men
strong.
Secretary Baker conferred yester-
day with Senator Chamberlain and
Representative Hay, chairmen of the
Congressional military committees,
and later Representative Hay returned
to the War Department accompanied
by Representative Kahn, ranking Re-
publican member of the House COM
mittee. The resolution was intro
duced Immediately by Representative
Hay upon his return to the capitol
Its consideration was expedited by
unanimous consent and its passage
followed with only Representative
London, Socialist voting against it.
Steps were taken to make it GER
tain that distorted versions of the
American purpose in sending armed
forces across the border were not Civ
EN- wide circulation in Mexico. BY
cable, telegraph, radio and mail full
statements of all that has trans
pired since the raid upon Columbus
and of the attitude of the United
States government in its reciprocal
agreement went forward to consuls
and state department agents through
out the southern republic. The inten-
ton is to keep these officials fully in
formed in order that they may cor
rect Immediately and authuritatively
any misstatements or misapprehension
in their districts. Also, they will be
able to advise Americans with a full
knowledge of the situation.
In effect the United States has es-
tablished publicity bureau in Mexico
to make clear its peaceful purposes
toward every resilient of Mexico with
the exception of Villa and the bandits
who raided Columbus.

his alfalfa crop this year, the fif-

acres is not known, but it is close
to $50 bushels. Rapid City Guide.
