two years ago. Not unlike many Of the
young men from the rural sections Of
the country. he was compelled by cir
cumstances, to hue his own way
through many adverse and trying ditti-
culties which beset his path. These
obstacles. however, did not deter him
in his struggle for the accomplish
ment Of higher ideals and greater
efficiency in life, but rather proved a
stimulant to his ambition. At an early
age he lost his father and motner,
which left him wholly on his own To-
sponsibility and resources. and 1t was
through his initiative alone, that he
has been able to accomplish the
ideals Of his youth.

career as a public school teacher at
the age Of twenty-five years. and was
readily recognized as leader in the
teaching fraternity and in educational
affairs generally. He served as q
member of the board OF teachers ex-
aminers for Harrison county and con-
tinued. as such until he was elected
superintendent of free schools for

ticket, leading the ticket by hand

ton.
After completing his service as a
public Official, Mr. Ogden went to
South America, where he spent three
years teaching In the American coll
leges and in the government schools
Of that country. When his work In
South America was completed, he re-
turned to his native state and located
at Clarksburg. and was very active in
organizing the Clarksburg Trust Com
pany, one Of the leading banking In
situations Of Clarksburg, with which
institution he holds q responsible po-
sition. He has always taken an active
part, and gives his unqualied support

OFFICIAL WASHINGTON
IS GOING UP IN THE AIR


WASHINGTON, April 1S-Secre-
tary Baker laid before the cabinet
today long reports from General
Funston reviewing the whole situa-
ton on the border and in Mexico.
From the state department the
president and the cabinet received an
outline Of the diplomatic steps taken
or contemplated since the Carranza
government urged the withdrawal Of
American troops.
A decision as to what course now
to pursue is to be reached between
the military and diplomatic aspects
OF the situation.
General Funston's dispatches came
Monday night and are the fullest
discussion of the problem he yet has
submitted. They contain no mention
Of the reported death of Villa. That
was the only hint of their contents
Secretary Baker would reveal. The
substance. the secretary said, was
beyond the realm of public discussion
at this time.
