MISS LAKELAND TO EUROPE
st. Louis Society Girl May Return to
War Hospitals.

The memory of the white, pinched
faces of the suffering European war
victims has proved stronger than the
lure of "doing things worth while in
New York" for Miss Mary Lakeland,
the dashing eldest daughter of the
late Henry Lakeland and grandaugh-
ter of the late Rufus J. Lakeland,
says the st. Louis Republic.
AS a result the pretty st. Louis so.
ciety girl is said to be planning to
leave a successful business career in
the metropolis and go back again
to the hospitals near the war front.
She is expected to sail for Europe

Some Things the Ledger Stand.
For" a list of local improvements the
Ledger advocated and for years car.
ried at the head of its editorial column
is, in retrospect, a prophecy according
to Alfred Larsen. Mr.. Larsen gave us
Thursday a clipping from the Daily
Ledger of Friday afternoon, May 10,
1907 in which this feature appeared.
He marked those things we stood for
and which have come to pass. OF the
twenty in the list we now have
twelve.
The improvements advocated and
realized were: a central heating plant,
more street lights, a local band, bet
ter roads, more sidewalks, increased
capacity of the water works, more
paved streets, a hospital, an early
mail train from st. Louis, paved al
leys, the best county fair in the state.
a government building.
Those advocated and which we hsve
yet to possess permanently are: a
monument to Charles Hardin in Har-
din Park or on the Hardin College
campus(this was for a bronze statue
and not the stone in the park as It
is today, the placing of business on
a cash basis, a subway under the rail-
roads at tn old station site on West

One Man is Seriously Beaten
and a Deputy Sheriff is
Tied to a Tree.

grip on the milk supply Tuesday and
caused further reduction in the

out the state. Reports from all parts
of New York tell of thousands OF gal
Ions of milk still in combat between
the dairymen and the employees Of
the distributors, the picketing of
cross roads in the dairy districts, far
mers held up and beaten and the es-
Enlistment Of cheese manufactures
to dispose OF the surplus as the result
of Withholding New York City's sup
ply.
Twenty deputies have been sup
piled in in Duchess county to pre-
vent raids of farmers upon their
neighhors to compel them to hold
back their product. This followed
an attck upon one man, who was
severely beaten while the deputy
sheriff who accompanied him was held
prisoner tied to a tree. Massed
farmers are reported to be patrolling
roads in several counties up state,
selling milk and dumping 1t. In
some places farmers are raising
funds to build cooperative cream
cries.
