Are You Work. ng Right?

Look over your farming operations and
see if you are working right on the main
chance. In other words, see if your head
is level enough so that you are doing that
best suited to your farm, personal tastes
and markets A mistake on the main

cases of neglect or failure in carrying out
details would be if the main business was
rightly mapped out. Many farmers are
trying to do to much business, or spread.

The creamery has been of decided adj
vantage to the private dairy in teaching
and leading the way toward better prac-
tees. 1t has taught US to skim the milk
before it has spoiled, and to stop churning
before the butter is spoiled. BY following
up the same line there is no reason why
the private dairy should not make just as
much for it,

One Of the coumopest and most stupid

A good way to hold grain for higher
prices Is to put a share of it into thrifty
young animals. If you have good stock
and feed well, the grain thus stored will
neither shrink in quantity nor depreciate
in price. 1t will cost you nothing for
storage, nor for hauling to market. Try

thus prevents the formation OF wrinkles. 1t
gives the freshness, clearness and smoothness

In Memory.

The large audience which crowded
to its utmost capacity the Methodist
church yesterday afternoon in attend
ance on the funeral services of Miss
Lou S. jerks testified to the esteem in
which the deceased was held by the
community.
Her life story was one Of duty faith
fully performed, of work well done, of
kindliness, good cheer and true Christ
ianity. She was born in Harlem,
Ills. in 1856 and came with her parents
to Kansas in the later '70's. She filed
most acceptably positions in the county
schools and IN Enterprise and Abilene
schools for several years. Not being
teachingi the present year. she was at
Belleville during the past two weeks.
On the 9th inst, she was taken with
la grippe and confined to her room.
On Monday, the l4Jh, acute pneumonia
set in and at $50 on the morning of
wednesday she bTeathed her last, too
soon for any near relatives to reach her.
The remains were brought home
Thursday afternoon. She was a men,
Der of the Methodist church since her
18th year and died fully conscious that
her end was near and expressing her
self as happy in the contemplation of
meeting the One in whom she had SO
long found strength.
1t is never easy to put into words the
loss of a friend. 1t is difficult to
realize that friend is gone. to say
nothing of expressing the fact in fitting
phrase. Those who knew Miss jerks
intimately, and her friends were many.
will find it hard to thoroughly compre-
bend that one so strong and in the
flush of vigorous womanhood has been
taken by death. They, as well as the
scores of her former pupils who were
in attendance on the funeral services
know better than words can exnress
how kindly and true was her nature.
The aged parents, who have lost in her
the only child remaining at home.
have the sympathy of all in their
afiiction, as have the sorrowing broth
ers and sisters.
The funeral services, attended by her
friends from all parts of the county.
were impressively conducted yesterday
by the Rev. ]. S. FoId, an intimate
friend of the family, assisted by the
Rev. J. 7. Mayor. Reverentlt and
tenderly, in the early twilight, all that
was mortal Of the one so recently well
and strong WAS laid TO its last rest In
the Abilene cemetery; while to those
around the open grave there came the
thonght that like the soul departed the
inh 'ence of her life was in a spi era

The readers of the Sentinel are to be

prosperity in his venture.
The musical services at The
Lutheran Church were attended by
congregations limited only by the build
ing's capacity yesterday. The leader,
Mr.. I. E. Dewey, had given much care
to drilling the large choir and
orchestra, and the programs, for
both morning and evening, were
exquisite. It was, perhaps, the most
finished church music ever given IN
the city and the chOruses and solos
delighted the listeners. Rev. W. L.
SeabrOok's sermons were in the spirit
of the season and deeply impressed all.
The day will be long and pleasantly
remembered by all present.
