such fools as we poor mortals be.
But is he the rufian that you pic
ture him to be? Those deep, dark
turFeys that cross bis brow were
caused by anguish and sorrow and
not BY malice aforsthought. Is your
pity all for the prostrste man? Fate

Ed SUPERINTENDENT
Former Head Of Mexico Schools is
Elected by Board to Fill Pry-
Or's Unexpired Term
HAS BEEN ON THE BOARD
A. H. Whitney Was Elected to Fill
Vacancy on Board Caused by
Hawthorne's Election

L. B. Hawthorne has been elected
Superintendent of the Mexico Public
Scools to fill the unexpired term of
Herbert Pryor, resigned.
This decision was reached by the
School Board Friday afternoon late
and at the same time A. H. Whitney
was elected to fill the vacancy on the
board, due to Hawthorne's election to
the SUPPLEMENTARY.
Mr.. Hawthorne was elected Super
intendent Of Schools in 1906, following
the death of Superintendent D. A.. Nc
MILAN. He remained at the head of
the schools for 10 years and upon his
resignation to take charge of the Arc
tic Ice Co. in this city, Herbert Pryor
was chosen to succeed him.
MI. Hawthorne is a graduate of
Depaw University and Missouri Uni
versity. Since his resignation from
the SUPPLEMENTARY he has been a
member of the board and sin close
touch with the school work.
When he was at the head of the
Mexico Schools he was recognized as
one of the leading educators in the
West and Mexico is indeed fortunate
to secure his services again. He will
place a manager in charge of his ice
business and devote his entire time to
the schools.

would thus appear in both columns.
These amounts, however, are small.
We can say definitely that the total is
more than $4,000, whereas our quota
was to be only $7,7OO for the Y. NJ.
C. A. Just about the time the cam
paign started, we took on $1,000 more
for the Y. W. C. A., making our total
quota $500 for both organizations.
We have passed both quotas by about
$1,5OO.
The above amounts include the sub
scriptions from the Missouri Military
Academy, $1S9.S5, and the Mexico
High School, $172.OO, but do not in
clude the contribution made by Hardin
College, about $1,25O.O0, as an insti-

If anyone doubts the correctness of
these figures the books of our compa-
ny are open to them. Not only the
books that | have kept, but the books
that have been kept at the station,
Which | have never examined, the
daily reports that car men have made
and the accounts at the banks at Mo-
limo and Santa Fe, and all the vouch-
ers and checks showing to whom the
money has been paid.
| will state further that in the
above expenditures there is not a dol
lar of interest on debts we owe, o a
dollar of dividends on the sixty odd
thousand dollars that the stock-hold-
ers have in the enterprise nor any
taxes. That no stakeholder of the
company nor officer of the company
received a dollar for his services. In
fact, no stakeholder Of the company
has ever received any compensation
for his services as officer of the COM
pany, except that we paid ]. D. Bates
a salary of seventy-five dollars a
month while he was manager Of the
company. That, by the way, is the
highest salary ever paid any employee
Of the company.
Our taxes for this year amount to
over seven hundred dollars, now due,
and we have no money with which 70
pay them. We owe about fifteen hun
bred dollars to banks, now due, and
they want the money. There is a
mortgage of ten thousand dollars on
the road, past due, and about eighteen
months interest due, which we cannot
pay. We have been notified that we
must pay these mortgages this spring.
The Rust estate has about twenty
three thousand dollars in the road.
He is dead and his widow wants her
money out of it. Some Of the local
owners of the road have been carry
ing a load of debt due to their invest
ment in it that is very embarrassing
to them; and for myself, all that I
have in the world is tied up in the en-
terprise.
The statements herein made are
the unvarnished truth; and any state
ments that may be going the rounds
contrary to what is herein set forth
are absolutely false.

MAY A OLDER MEN
General CrOwder Says Too Many
Young Men Should Not
Be Taken

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. - Increas-
ing the draft age from 81 to 40
or as years is one of the probabilities
of the future" according to Provost
Marshal General Crowder in his ccm-
prehensive report to the Secretary of
War.
The draft of the older men should be
mainly for skilled labor, but also to
distribute the burdens of the war.
There are plenty of young men for
the first line fighting Crowder has
shown, but he also points out there is
a danger of "injuring the coming
generation" by taking away too many
of the 'aggressively patriotic young
men,"

SAILING

We are aware that the above list is
not complete. Many deposits were
made at the bank and the deposit
slips not turned over to either &. A.
Shannon or j. W. Million. The differ
ence between the total of cash sub
scriptions, $7,856.91, as appearing
above, and the amount of cash depos-
tied up to January 8, 1918, at the Mex
leo Savings Bank, of $S,660.06, is the
amount of cash which we must credit
to miscellaneous deposits and to So
~licitors in different territories whose
lists have not been handed to either
the chairman or the campaign mana
e We are sorry not to be able to
give specific credit to additional So
l%icitors whose labors were just as
productive and as periodically given
as any whose names appear.
We are all doubtless gratified, how
ever, at the total result. By adding
the cash received to the $1,757.25 up
paid subscriptions, we find that the
total is $1O,417.S1. This total will
suffer perhaps a slight reduction be-
cause of the fact some subscription

charge that l have falsified the ac-
counts of the railroad company so as
to show that it is losing money, and
give an excuse for discontinuance Of
operation. This charge, like most of
such charges, is vague and hardly
worthy of a denial, but for the infor-

Dear Friends: / am enclosing a
check for $1.00 to pay for the Ledger
for 1918. We are all well and like
the valley. We have had no zero
weather this winter, one snow and
some sleet. 1t has been raining here
for two weeks and the roads are
awful.
The N. P. R. R. branch is complete
from Dixon to Poison, Mont, and
most of the freight and all the grain
goes out and in wei the new road.
The town Roman is growing fast;
there has been near 100000 spent in
the public schools this year, and for
lights, water and street improvements.
The farmers all feel better since they
know what to expect from their stock
and crops.
The different war organizations are
busy all the time; the ladies are patri-
otto as we'll as the men, but all are
anxious to end this awful obstruction.
With best wishes from my wife and |.

American troops be sent abroad as fast
