RUBLES
POSTAGE BRINGS
LETTER HERE

Isadore Taylor of this city, received
q letter this week from a brother in
Russia which required three 10000
ruble stamps on it to bring it here.
In normal times $4,000 rubles equaled
$4,000 In American money but since
the sovieta took charge there theFas
BILE has deprecated materially, as is
evident.
In the letter his brother warned
him not to mail money as it was
pure luck the American money he had
sent him on a previous letter had es-
capped the mail thieves. He urged that
all relief be sent him through
the American organization in Russia
attending to that duty.
His brother recently lost a baby
because Of starvation. However, he
says, since the family has been send
ing him food through the American
Relief body they are not in such crit
ical condition.

MISS HOUSTON
RESIGNS FROM
MCMILLAN HIGH

Miss Mary Virginia Houston who
has been teaching in Mcmillan high
school for a quarter of century, will
retire at the end of the present school
year, according to an announcement
of L. B. Hawthorne, city superintend-
ent. "Miss Molly" as she has been
known to her students, has had many
students in her classes in recent years
who are children of former graduates.
Her decision to retire is regretted
by every one who knows her as she
has been a power for good in the To-
cal schools that is going to be impos-
sible for the school board to replace.
Four other Mcmillan teachers may
also leave the school this year it is
said. Miss Helen Wilkins is going to
be married to Carr Eubank, as an
nounced recently and Miss nellie
Hall will retire on account of the i'll
ness Of her father who finds it nee
essary to go to Arizona for his health.
Two other teachers are said to be
considering positions as educators in
Porto Rico.
With this loss of five of the four
teen teachers in Mcmillan High
school it is going to be very difficult
for the school board to re-adjust the
present staff especially as better,
ments that are greatly needed can
not be made with the present income
for maintenance. s

WILL
HAVE MORE
STREET SIGNS

Realizing the need of suitable
street signs to let the stranger COM
ing to Mexico know just what street
he is on without going to the incon-
venience of asking local merchants,
the city administration through the
Streets and Alleys Committee is
making careful survey of this SUBJ
ject.
Mr.. Vandegrift, the Chairman of
this committee is going thoroughly
into the matter and just as soon as
they are in a position to make rec
concentrations, an ordinance will be
submitted to the council.
Practically every street in the bus
mess district has no sign at this time
and but few streets in the residence
district are properly marked it is
said. The present administration is
making every effort to care for the
city's needs and just as soon as prae-
teal these much needed signs will be
placed

THIS AUTUMN

Work On the new Hardin College
building started Wednesday morn
ing. The contracts was let Tuesday
night to the Mccarthy Construction
Co., Of St. Louis for $1O5,178. This,
did not include the heating plant
which went for $8,972 to Eichler
Heating Co., of St, Louis. The total
cost Of the building will be $114,250.
Wednesday morning trees were cut
down and work started on moving
the conservatory building to its new
site as the new dornitory will be on
the east campus north Of the swim
ming pool.
The new structure will be fireproof.
In the basement will be a dining
room which will seat 252 students.
The first floor will be devoted to. class
rooms. The second and third floors
will be for students and will have the
most modern dormitory facilities with
accommodations for Sc students. There
will be bath rooms between each unit
Of two rooms.
Quite a little work will be done this
summer ON the present college build
ings andnany improvements made in

GRADE CROSSINGS
ELIMINATED IN
COUNTY SOON

The Audrain County court has
completed plans to eliminate all of
the grade crossings In Audrain coun-
ty that are today on the North Cross
State highway, as it passes through
this county.
Judge Naysmith of the Court stated
this week that the Burlington rail-
road had agreed to pay $4,000 toward
the $4,000 required to eliminate the
grade crossing at the edge of the s.
mile district east of Mexico where
the North State Highways crosses
it's line. This will largely decrease
the expense of the court in this I'M
proyement.
The Larabee grade crossing of the
Chicago & Alton, at the western edge
Of the county will also be done away
with. This will give this popular
cross state route free passage from
railroad crossing in Audrain county
and should be material argument in
favor of this highway being named a
primary road by the State Highway
department..
This viii leave all of the roads of
the county Of any prominence free
from grade crossings except the in
ter-county seat highway running
south from Mexico to Fulton which
crosses the tracks of the Atoms
South Branch several miles south Of
this city. AS traffic is light on this
railroad. there is less danger there
than at the other crossings.
