MRS. MAXWELL IS BURIED.
Widow Who Leaves Four Children
Had Been Ill Long Time.

The funeral of Mrs. Laura Maxwell,
who died Saturday, was held Monday
afternoon from her home on W. Breck-
enridge street. Services were conduct
ed by the Rev. Richard Gentry and
burial was in Elmwod Cemetery.
Mrs. Maxwell is survived by four
children, three girls, June, Opal and
Lenora, and one son, Oscar. Her hus-
band has been dead about ten years.
She has been afflicted with tubercu-
losis for the last two years and has
suffered a great deal during that time.
Her friends say that she made hard
fight against her physical handicaps,
for the sake of her children, and there
are many who are sorry to learn of
her death. The Ledger extends sin
cere sympathy.

TEACHERS GETTING RAISE.
Most Rural School Boards Are Giving
More Money For Next Year.

Seven more rural school boards have
re-employed their teachers for next
year with an appreciable increase in
salary and many others are contem-
plating taking similar action, accord
ing to County Superintendent Offutt.
The seven from whom Mr.. Offutt has
heard recently are: Miss Merle
Jones, teacher of Eller Scholl, who
has been re-engaged with an increase
of SIS; Mrs. Ben German, teacher of
the Canada School, whose salary has
been raised $40; Miss Nola Hanna,
Beaver Dam teacher, who gets $15
more; Miss Mable Cook, Carter School,
who has a SIS increase; Miss Ruth
Rouse, Dye Schol, who will get an
increase of $25; Florence Kirkpatrick,
Washington School teacher, and Selby
Swift, McClintic teacher, both of
whom get an increase in salary.
Mr.. Offutt says that, contrary to the
opinion that many persons in the
county have, the school boards and the
patrons, as whole, are anxious to in
crease their teachers pay, and are
willing to do SO as soon as it is pos
sible. When they find they have
enough money they will do it willingly
and cheerfully. Audrain County is
progressive along such lines, he says,
and already ranks high in the matter
of teachers salaries.
The county superintendent has re-
ceived many applications for positions
in the schools from teachers outside
the county. This he takes as an indi-
cation of the fact that this is consid-
cred a desirable place to teach.

trary thing like that. If somebody
would only write to Mr.. Edison to in

that way, he could sell several of them
right in Mexico. Well box car is
just like that. You head it toward

you don't watch out, it will roll right

the Yardmaster gives you that "Bless

Yesterday Mike Murphy was watch
ing a gang of Italians unload a car
of cinders. While they were at that,
the Italian boss pinched his finger be-
hind lever, and Mike semed greatly
pleased and surprised at the know
ledge of English and the flow of ell
oquence manifested by that poor ig-
norant hyphenated American. Mike
says he learned two or three new ex-
pressions himself.
w. N. Jones is here too, but the
strike still keeps on keeping on. Mrs.

she went away, but now that she has

MEXICO MEMS CLASS
WINS FROM COLUMBIA
Contest Closes Sunday With Local
Church in Lead by Only
81 Points
WEEKS MEETING ENDS, ALSO
"a Additions Came as Result of Rev.
Gentry's and Clare Harding's
Services.

The Mexico Mems Bible Class of the
Christian Church won by 81 points
the attendance contest in which it has
been competing with the Columbia
Mems Class of the Christian Church
when the final count was made Sunday
morning, The largest assembly of
men which ever gathered for any pur-
poseID Mexico was present in the
auditorium of the Christian Church
here Sunday morning. There were
374 on time and A tardy. The Colum-
bia class outdid the one here however,
by having a total attendance of 5S3,
Of which number 535 were on time.
The Mexico class was 433 points
ahead befoer the last day of the con-
test, Sunday. But on account of Col
umbia's lead at that time the victory
came to this church by only a small
margin. The contest has been run
mig six weeks, and has been spirited
throughout. The attendance in the
two Bible classes has risen from 116
in the Mexico class and 83 in the Col
umbia class, which were the respec-
tive attendances on the first day of
the contest. Mexico has lead every
Sunday except two.
Columbia, as the loser, is to give a
banquet to the men Of the Mexico
class, but plans for it have not been
worked out as yet. 1t is expected
that it will be given in the near fu-
ture.
