TEMPORARILY DERANGED.
WOMAN FREEZES DEAD
Mrs. Josephine Mortemeyer Found
Dead in the Wade Pasture at 3
O'Clock Tuesday Morning
HAD WANDERED FROM HOME
Derangement is Thought to Be Due to
Worry Over Daughters Illness
and SOn-in-Law's Injury

Mrs. Josephine Mortemeyer, Of
Brunswick, Mo-, So years old, wa:
found dead in the Wade pasture, in
the northwestern suburbs Of the city
Thursday morning about 9 O'Clock
She had been frozen to death after
wandering aimlessly over the hills in
that vicinity. John Franklin Mar
shall and Robert Byers, two young
boys, discovered the body Tuesday
morning after following her tracks in
the snow for quite distance.
Mrs. Mortemeyer, who with hel
husband, J A. Mortemeyer, is from
Brunswick. She has been here the
past six weeks at the bedside of her
daughter, Mrs. Betty Howard, who is
quite i'll and is at present in the Hos
pital. Mr.. Mortemeyer discovered his
wife had left the house about l O'Clock
Tuesday morning. He Immediately
aroused the neighborhood in the vi
cinity of his daughters home, the
north end of Western Avenue, and
started a search. The body was not
found until the two boys, members Of
an early morning searching party,
came across her tracks and traced
them over the hills to where she had
fallen in exhaustion and frozen.
Mrs. Mortemeyer's departure from
home during the night is thought by
those familiar with the case to be due
to temporary mental arrangement due
to her daughters illness and the re-
cent serious injury of son-in-law
when horse fell upon him.
Besides her husband and Mrs. How
ard Mrs. Mortemeyer leaves the fol-
lowing children; Roy at Camp Fun
ston; Fred and Dewey at Brunswick;
Mrs. Tracey Padgett, Brunswick; Mrs.
Cora Braymer, Lenox, Mo-, and Mrs.
Bertha Hibler, of st. Joseph.
Mrs. Howard is the wife Of Martin
Howard who has been mechanist for
the Mexico & Santa Fe electric line.
Mrs. Mortemeyer was splendid wom-
an, beloved by all who knew her. The
Ledger joins the many friends of the
family in extending sympathy to the
bereaved.

A GENEROUS SUGGESTION
Governor Says One Obstacle in Way

In reply to the suggestion of H. P.

Allies and each farmer contribute of

following letter:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, State of
Missouri, jefferson City, Mo-, Janu-
ary 81, 1918. Mr.. H. P. Warden,
Mexico, Mo. Dear Mr.. Warden: am
in receipt of yours of the 29th inst. and
certainly commend you for such a gen.
erous proposition on behalf of your
self and the farmers of the State.
do not know what can be done in
regard to this matter, There are of
course several obstacles in the way at
present. The most important would
be to secure a ship to transfer the sup
plies, and the next thing would be OBJ
tanning coal for the ship. You know
there are $50 ships lying in New York
harbor unable to sail for want of coal,
some have been there for months.
However, / will gladly refer your
communication to the State Council
of Defense, the organization having
such matters in charge, and if they
think the matter can be handled un-
der existing circumstances, they
could secure these contributions from
their local organizations, and in this
way care for the same after securing
them. Faithfully Yours, FREDER-
ICK D. GARDNER, Goveronr.

said: "If | were you | believe I'd just
blot out that cloud" and extended his

painter exclaimed in great excitement;

wet?" "Oh, that don't natter

Mr.. Warden sent the Ledger the
following communication regarding
his plans:
Editors Mexico Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Feb. 5, 1918. -
Dear Sirs: In last Thursdays Re-
public Jefferson City dispatch gives
the undersigned the credit of sug-
gesting to the Governor a BACON
DAY." wherein the people of this
state, especially the farmers, might
have an opportunity to contribute of
their own product, in the name of
Missouri, substantial gift to our
hungry and suffering comrades in
France.
While such communication was
written to the Governor in all serious
ness, it was my idea that the use of
the name of any private individual as
sponsor" to the move would add
nothing to its success, and hence
should be left out of print.
The Mississippi Valley is the pork
producing country of the world. Our
State is in the heart of that great
section. 1t seems to me fit and becom-
ing that we should make a gift to our
friends of one of our staple products
and gift which is so vital to them at
this time.
There are many thousands of
farmers who have, this winter, put
aside few hundred pounds of bacon
for personal use the coming year.
These farmers are patriotic American
citizens. Many of them are poor, with
little or no money left to buy Govern
ment Bonds and Stamps after paying
rent or interest on the mortgage debt.
These farmers know that Uncle Sam
will feed our boys, and that our boys
do not need the gift. They also know
that "Food will Win the War;" and
that by giving food to the French we
are helping the fellow who is fight
ing with and for our boys and is try
ing to save the lives of our boys. They
know that America is now raising and
furnishing money to buy food for our
Allies that they may help us win the
war; that the greatest need is bread
and meat, and that when we give food
to our allies we are helping our Gov
ernment and doing what is pleasing to
our Government.
These farmers also know that our
battles are now being fought largely
on French soil and that it was the
French people who helped us with
their blood to gain our Independence
from a tyrant, more than a century
ago.
Knowing these things, there are
some who will not give pound of ba-
con or cent of money. But there
are tens, of thousands of Missouri
farmers who will experience very
great pleasure in pulling from their
private stock side or two of good
country bacon, turning it over to the
proper county official or representa-
tive of the State Council of Defense
for shipment to France, with the
thought of easily "getting by" with
the use of a few chickens, fish and
game in place of the bacon.
With such a gift, the patriotic
press and people of Missouri would
see that it landed at the right spot in
France. Such move might also be
emulated by other great pork produc-
ing states in the Mississippi Valley.
Very respectfully, H. P. Warden.
