YATES-TAYLOR WE'D
DING TOOK PLACE
THURSDAY EVENING

The wedding of Captain Carter Tay-
Ior, son of DIR. and Mrs. w. F. Taylor
of Mexico and Miss Frances Yates, a
Kansas City young lady, whose en-
gagement was announced in the Led
ger April 5, took place at the home of

ert Taylor, 5525 Wayne Ave-, Kansas
City Thursday evening.
MI. Taylor's family and relatives of
the bride with a number of friends
were in attendance. The wedding was
a prominent affair.
Captain Taylor has lately been dis
charged from the army where he SER
we'd in France. He was graduated
from Mcmillan High School and the
University of Missouri. He is a pop
ular young man and a favorite with
those who know him.
The bride is a charming young lady
with many accomplishments. She has
many friends in Kansas City and other
parts of the state.
The Ledger joins with the many
friends in extending them best wishes.

property clerk; the financial clerk;
four school teachers; one field matron;
one physician; one supervisor of farm
ing; one policeman; and one house
keeper, the two latter being Indians.
The schools are, of course, English
and take the children through the 3rd
grade. The children are then sent to
+; the Indian School at Phoenix, which
carries them through the 9th grade.
Attendance at these schools by the
children is compulsory. In this way
| the Indians will soon become an Eng
lish speaking people.
Each male Indian has five acres of
irrigated land, five acres for dry
farming and ten acres of grazing land.
A like allotment will be made to each
male child at his birth until the entire
land of about forty thousand acres is
exhausted, and after hat the Indian
boy will have to hustle for a living
the same as your boy and mine does
now Their chief product is wheat,
but they also produce some barley,
some alfalfa and a little cotton.
The Indian lives very largely on
beans, of which there are two variet-
les, both native, one a kind of lima
and the other a small white bean very
similar to the navy bean. They also
grow some fruits, pumpkins, water
melons and a little corn.
The Indians chief curse is the grey
water or Tizioin, or tulapi as it is var
iously called. This is a brew of corn
mixed with certain roots, and is :
very strong intoxicant. There are
few divorces among them and they
treat the children very humanely and
even indulgently. The family life is
becoming more pronounced from yeal
to year and the tribal life less al,
though they still have one tribal herd
of cattle and are always having night
meetings to discuss some real or i'm
aginary grievance.
All Of the school houses have shower
baths and all of the children are re-
quired to take a bath once a week.
The Indian is fond of horses and dogs,
so much so that the government has
had to limit the number of each which
he may own.
On the reservation are three styles
) of dwellings, the BEEHIVE, the rectan-
gular and adobe. The beehive housa
is made of sticks standing upright
and then bent together at the ton.
They are circular with no outlet fcr
the smoke. The fire is in the center
Mexico weekly ledger., 1919-05-01

and the family sleeps with their heads
toward the wall and their feet toward
the fire-of course there is but one
room. The rectangular is made of
sticks, too, but fiat on top with a grass
roof and an outlet for the smoke.
The adobe is made of mud and straw
and is rectangular with one or more
rooms.
On this reservation the number of
Indians is slightly on the increase,
which is not generally true as the In
dian is fast disappearing as a race,
This little Presbyterian congrega-
ton gave five boys to Uncle Sans
| Army in the late war and of these
two were killed at st. Mihiel. Their
names are posted above the pulpit and
a memorial service will be held short
ly in honor of their bravery and pat
riotism.
The two things which impressed us
most were first to see the children
singing and reciting in English, and
secondly when a special collection was
taken up to get funds to help build
a hospital in India,nearly every grown
| person, men and woman alike, gave
something.
These services as a whole impressed
us most favorably and too much credit
can not be given to DIR. Ellis and his
good wife for the wonderful things
they have accomplished with thess
people. They have most unsel6sh!y
devoted their time, strength and lives
to the civilization and Christianization
of these Indians, and in their declin-
ing years it must be a great s~atisfac-
ton to them to realize that the In
dams will soon be able to carry on by
themselves alone the wonderful work
which the Doctor and his wife have
| supervised thus far.
Very truly yours,
JOSEPH MCINTYRE.

MERRITT LLEWELLYN
DIES SUDDENLY

Robert Merritt LlewelIyn, 80 years
old, one of Mexico's prominent young
business men, was found dead in bed
at the home of his mother, Mrs. j. F.

was due to heart trouble and that the
end came between midnight and Z 4.

Robert Merritt Llewellyn was born
MAY 20, 1889. For the past year he
had been in i'll health but his conti-
ton was not considered serious and
his death came most unexpectedly
proving a great shock to the commun-
ity where he had a host of warm
friends.
Since leaving school he was asso-
ciated with his father, j. F. Lfewellyn
and brothers, Henry and Fred, in the
Llewellyn Drug Store on the West
Side of the Square. Upon the death
of his father, January &c, 1917, he
with his brothers took charge of the
business.

mother, a sister, Mrs. Abby Snoddy
and his two brothers. He was an eX'
ceptionally bright young man, de
voted to his business and held in tht
highest esteem by a wide circle d
friends. He was a member of thu
Presbyterian church.
The Ledger joins the many othe1
mourning friends of the family in ex
tending deepest sympathy to the be
reaved
