CITY OWES THANKS
TO 7. |. MARSHALL
One Man Here Who Does Most of
Work in Getting Coal During
Shortage

One man in Mexico has been re-
sponsible, to a very great extent, for
the good management of the coal Sit
uation here during the crisis which has
been suffered since the coal miners
struck, and which will continue TO en-
list until the miners have gone back to
work. That man, according to those
who are in a position to know, is T. L,
Marshall, local fuel administrator and
superintendent of the combined rail-
roads in Mexico.
This city has not suffered the incon-
veiences during the coal shortage that
most of the cities around her have
suffered. The Power Company, whicn
supplies the city with heat, light
water and gas has been kept going
most of the time ,on coal that has been
obtained by Mr.. Marshall.
Monday when the supply of coal al
the Power Company became so Low
that heat and lights had to be discon
tinued for a period of four hours, MI
Marshall went to Moberly and ba'
sent here three cars Of coal, enough K
run the city that many days. Tuesda!
he went to Springfield to see about
getting more coal, and he has som;
hopes of getting a car or two for priv
ate consumption.
More times than one, f. r. Locke
says, the Power Company would hact
been compelled to close had not Mr.
Marshall stepped in and obtained Goa
to keep the fires going. His efforts
have been untiring, and the city d
Mexico should know that much of The
warmth and light they have been en-
joying during the coal shortage Is
due to the constant endeavors of thii
one man.

MEXICO ADRAIN COUNTY MISSOURI
VESTS OLDEST PAPER
.SUSPENDS PUBLICATION

The st. Louis Republic, the oldest
paper west of the Mississippi River,
which was. established as the Missouri
Gazette in 1908, suspended publication
today, December 4, and the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, which purchased the
competitive paper, took possession.
Republic subscribers will be transfer
red to the Globe Democrat.
With the Republics suspension Of
publication the st. Louis field is con-
sidered a good opening for another
morning paper. 1t is thought possible
that Hearst may establish a paper
there.
