A HUMANE MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT
by The Federated Press)

Il
Mexico City. In the spring of last
year in Mexico City three people dis
cussed the practicability of govern
ment kitchen from which to send out
breakfasts to underfed children in the
public schools. They were Jose Vas
consoles, then president Of the Nation
al university; Roberta Medilin. then in
the technical school department. and
Elena Torrez, head of the recent wo-
mans delegation from Mexico to the
Pan-American woman's conference al
Baltimore.
A petition was sent to university and
municipal teachers, asking each to con-
tribute one or two percent of his SAL
airy to the work. An initial sum was
raised, small room obtained and with
Miss Iorrez as manager, so breakfasts
were sent out May 9, 1921, to a school
in one Of the poor districts of the city.
Three weeks later nine schools were
being served with breakfasts for sos
children. ~sst>.r~
The work grew rapidly, beginning
with the primary schools, and extend
ing to the kindergartens and even to
the. factories. Until December of last
year it was financed BY one and two
percents from the teachers salaries.
In January, 1922, Vasconselos, becom-
ing minister of education, appropriat-
ed half million pesos ($225 ,000)
for the work for the coming year.
A large room with an adjoining Of
lice now houses the work. At 2 o.
clock every morning the cook appears.
By five o'clock the first truckIoads of
breakfasts are leaving the yard. There
are two large crusted rolls and pint
of hot milk with little coffee in it
for each child; $500 of these break
fasts are now sent out each day to 70
schools. The working force at head
quarters, under the direction of Miss
Iorrez, numbers y.
There are l53 primary schools in the
city. Children in each one of them
will be fed before the year is out. As
to the kindergartens. the seven schools
being served now are the only ones in
need, due to the fact that most of
the schools Of this type are in the bet
terrified sections of the city.
Beginning with the seven kindergar-
tens receiving breakfasts and extending
as fast as possible to the primary
schools, the meal of pint of milk and
.wo rolls will be augmented by a dish
# oatmeal for each child.
The work is not confined to the |
schools. At the present time 800 sup
oers, identical to the school breakfasts
are sent out to factory girls in the city.

CONSCIENTIOUS TEACHERS
MUST OPPOSE WAR

Milwaukee. = Responsibility of the
teacher in working for peace by in
stilling desire for it in the hearts Of
children and in impressing them with
the horrors of militarism, was stressed
by Mrs. NJ H. Fuldheim, representing
the Woman's Society for Peace and
Freedom, in an address before normal
school students at the No More War de-
monstration. Mrs. Fuldheim was for
merly teacher in the Milwaukee
schools.
If we are to teach our children that
it is sin to kill, we cannot, at the
same time, justify or support war, -
she said.

THE
THE LEDGER'S
PLATFORM FOR AUDRAIN
More permanently improved high

THE Mexico Ledger has been un-
der the management of R. M. White
and r. M. White & Son for 46 years
this month. During these years the
Ledger has grown in circulation and
influence following a policy of con-
structive ideals which has brought it
the splendid support of the city and
county. There are hundreds of fam
lies in Audrain county which have
taken the Ledger during the entire
time it has been under the present
management and many who have
been readers even previous to this
time. That we appreciate this sup
port goes without saying, and that
we will bend every effort to merit it
in the future will be our utmost effort
Following u policy to keep abreast
of the times and give Mexico a mod
r newspaper plant in every par
tieular we are installing an up-to-
date stereotyping room with the very
latest and best machinery. This added
equipment will facilitate our efforts
to give the public and the advertiser
better service. We want to express
our great appreciation for past cour-
tesies and solicit the patronage and
support of the community in our
work for the development and better
ment of Mexico, Audrain County,
Missouri and the Nation.

WE are glad to see the people of
Mexico taking a new interest in
Hardin College. The fact that the
enrolment of Mexico girls at this
famous institution of learning is the
largest in it's history is not only de-
served but testifies to what the
school has become under S. j.
Naughn's capable direction. Hardin
College was the first woman's Jun
Tor College west of the Mississippi
river. The University of Missouri
gives Hardin Graduates go hours
credit when they enter its doors, and
Hardin is accredited with 155 hours
at the State University. Hardin Coll
lege is essentially a Mexico institu-
ton and as such should have the
unqualified support Of the people of
Mexico and Audrain county. Presi-
dent Vaughn says he intends to make
every effort to have it become a big
part in the community life and his
desire along this line is worthy of
every consideration. Let Mexico
send our daughters to Hardin, which
merits such support, and show the
educational world we believe in the
great institution we have.

JUDGMENTS N
TWO CASES ARE
REVIVED THURS.

Revival Of Judgment in two cases
against the Wabash Railroad Conn
pany was made by the Court. One
case was that of Gillie Carter for
the sum Of $500 in the death Of her
husband who was killed by a train at
Benton City. And the other in favor
Of Myrtle Walker for $1,000 for the
death Of her husband by train at
Moberly. Both Of these Judgment
were made in 1912 but before being
affirmed by the Supreme Court, the
railroad went in the hands Of a re-
ceiver so it was necessary to have
the decisions revived.
In the case of Forecne Dickey vs..
the Wabash Railroad Company the
appellate filed bill of exception which
was approved by the court. This is
the last step in this court before it is
taken to a higher court. Mrs. Dickey
is suing the road for the death Of
her husband who was killed at
Thompson.
Three more divorces have been
granted in the Audrain County Cir
cult Court. They are: William
Stwart VS.. Dora Stewart, grounds Of
.desertion; Mary Charles Buckley VS..
Burns H.. Buckley, desertion and non
support; Ellis Melton VS.. Dora Nell
ton, desertion and infidelity.

THE standard Of living is some
thing we have all been hearing much
of in the past few years. AT one
time it was based upon more or less
stable indicators but today, human
nature in its restless state, has ma
terially changed all this. The stand
ard Of living hasn't changed. The
only difference Seems to be that a
lot Of US have established expensive
and luxurious channels through which
to spend surplus earnings of the
peak" times and have become i'm
bued with the ideas that they are es-
sentials. After all there are many
things we consider absolutely re-
quired for our comfort that aren't
really necessary. The sooner We dis
tinguish between these and the ma
terial necessities the better for us
