FIRST WARD LEAD ALL
OTHERS IN FIRST DAYS
VICTORY LOAN DRIVE

When it was decided that Mexico's
quota in the Victory Loan would be
S149,750 the officers decided to ap-
portion this amount equally to the
four wards, makingsthe amount to he
raised in each ward, 1880. With B.
G. Reavis chairman of the men work
ers III the first ward and Mrs. E. A.
bearing chairman of the women, this
ward went cover the top" subscribing
S38. 900. 1t was the only ward that
reached its quota.
This amount was subscribed
through the workers, at the banks and
through the post office. The fact that
it had oversubscribed its quota did not
stop its subscription to the loan and
the sales r still progressing.
The other wards were not so for
tuEate and workers are endeavoring
to at least reach their quota.

MEXICO GOES OVER
TOP SATURDAY EVENING

Mexico went over the top in the
Victory Loan drive Saturday by
s13, 900. The quota was $149,75O and
late Saturday evening the total sales
showed s162, 1000. Friday it was found
that the city was about $4,000 be-
hind in the subscription and the VIC
men workers together with a numocr
of the men, put forth an extra effort
TO at least reach the quota by the end
of the week. The above was the re-
suit. The Ledger is glad to announce
this fact as Mexico and Audrain coun-
ty V have failed to subscribe their
quota in any of the drives and the
workers who gave their time and
money to this cause can not be praised
too highly.
In all of the school districts that
have been worked they are oversub-
scribing or meeting their quotas and
it is almost certain that the County
will go over sometime this week.
Over at Moline Saturday night City
Sales Manager R. R. Wagner, Cadets
Harrison and Purdy of the NJ. NJ. a,
made talks in interest of the Victory
Loan and the latter two gave a de-
Tiphtful entertainment, Harrison
gave several vocal selections and
Purdy several readings which were
much enjoyed. Moline over subscrib-
! ed its quota of $4,55O. Parties from
the Sneed, Ellis and Long Branch dis
tricts who were at this meeting pied
ged their quotas If these quotas
could not be reached these men agreed
to stand good for the amount not sub
scribed to make up the quota.

/. ERA IN MESSAGE
Wilson's S Cable to Congress
Stirred Street Into
Active Buying.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

s. New York. May eO.-President WI.
sons message stirred Wall Street to-
day as 1t has not been stirred since
the Mckinley days. Old tiIieis cOuld
hardly credit the news as II came out
on the tickers telling of the business
ike and compromising propositions
OF the President They realized i'm
mediately that a new era in trade
mad dawned. and turned to buy
stocks and cancel selling orders with
enthusiasm.
Oils caught fire first, Ohio Cities
Gas advancing more than five points.
railroad equipment shares, and
nnaily Standard Rails and iIIjustrials.
moved up.
The close was strong and active,
with the market reaching for new
high prices all along the line.
Tho theory that IL was profes-
sional reaction on Monday proved
correct The test came today. and IL
troved the market was sound. The
curb was in a bad way, but the
revival in oils saved 1t, and even
there the close was with an ad-
Vancing tendency.
The rise of Ohio Cities Ger was
engineered of course. by a pool. but
1t was based on very substantial in
formation The company has quiet
ly acquired acreage in all the inn
portant fields of the country and is
now representative tt the whole
United States.
Rails did not respond vigorously
10 the Presidents suggestion that
the railroads would be turned back
by the end of the year. The reason
IS that ii makes a difference how
they are turned back. II there is nc
provision for pooling and financing
OF equipment and fair rates. they
will be in bad shape. With proper
legislation they will be safe from
receiverships.
End of the Marine mystery was
announced after the close Like al
mysteries il was none at all. The
whole truth has been told all ths
time by the directors. but Wal
street refused TO believe. II ha:
been profitable mystery for those
IN close touch with the manipuIa.
tors of the stock. American Inter.
national rose to a new high record
as serenely as IL II had succeeded
in selling about all its Marine stock
At present levels the Marines are q
very questionable investment.
