Mrs. Charlie Runals.

The funeral of Mrs. Charlie Runals,
widow of the late Eli G.. Runals, was
held from st. Matthew's church this
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Mrs. Runals was one of the old
pioneers of Kenosha county, having
come here ..in 1876. She was born in
Allegheny county, N. Y, in 1916, and
was therefore 81 years of age at her
death. She was married to Mr.. Run
ais in 1916, the year before coming to
old Southport.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Runals became
leaders IN social and church life in this
place at once and remained such most
of the life of Mr.. Runals. He was
known throughout much of the north
west and was an active business man
here for more than fifty years. He
owned and operated the Runals house
in the early days and operated it until
it burned down, built the Odd Fellows
hall and several other buildings about
the city. After the Runals house fire
the family was moved to Willow Brook
farm, where Mrs. Runals passed away
last Sunday. Miss Lily Runals, the
we'll known singer and Frank Runals
are the only relatives of the immediate
family to mourn the loss of a mother.

James Michael is the champion long
distance bicyclist of the world.
He recommends all wheelmen to take
Paine's celery compound.
His experience is that of thousands
of others. With the opening OF the BIZ
cycle season many a young person and
hundreds of older people who have de-
termined to take up bicycling as a
health giving exercise find themselves
really lacking the proper snap" or
stamina to begin on. Their bodily
condition prevents so spirited exercise.
They would like to ride, but they are
out of sorts, run down by winter of
work or indoor life. Many who are
really sick, who have suffered from de-
bility or wasting diseases for long
time until they had begun to think their
troubles had become chronic, as moth
ing gave them relief, would turn to BIZ
cycling for relief But this splendid
exercise, like any other, requires
strength to,undertake. The blood is
out of order, the nerves are deran ged,
and natures food for both is needed.
All such persons will find to their
immense joy. that Paine's celery COM
pound, taken now, will make them
we'll.
Paines celery compound works won
ders in June. If you have labored un-
der the load Of repeated headaches,
neuralgia pains and days of nervous
debility, now is your time to get we'll.
Michael is today the most phenome-
nal rider in professional ranks. AS far
back as 1894 he was undisputed cham
pion of Great Britain, and in the fol-
lowing year he went to France and
scored % straight wins against the
picked riders Of Europe. He has de-
feated such famous men as JacQuelin,

WE have heard a great deal OF criti-

playing at the head of the procession,
thus interrupting the ceremonies of

insult or Dissertation was intended, it
probably being thoughtlesness on the
part of those in charge. This is a
good time to call attention to it so that
it may not occur again.

WHEN Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr., said
that he would rather be in hell with Sir
Moses Montifore, the Hebrew philan-
thropist, than in heaven with some
good men he knew, he made an asser-
ton that was startling; but as re-
Duke to those who are so narrow
minded dis to think that heaven is es-
pecially reserved for believers in their
creed alone it was good enough to ex-
cu8e its sensationalism.

THE CROP BULLETIN.
It has Been Too Cold the Past Week For
Good Growth.

The following bulletin, based on the
reports of the directors of the several
climate and crop sections, is furnished
for the information of the public:
The past week has been generally
unfavorable for crop growth, being
much too cool in all districts east of
the Rocky mountains and too dry in
the southern states, while excessive
rains in New England have retarded
farm work in that section. On the
Pacific coast the conditions have beec
very favorable in Washington, but rain
is needed in Oregon. In California the
weather has been generally favorable.
The eastern portion of the cotton re-
gion is suffering to some extent for
rain. but the crop is clean and is gen.
orally doing well. although backward.
The most unfaYorable reports are from
North Carolina and Tennessee, and in
the latter-named state a considerable
area will be plowed up and planted to
corn.
The week has been unfavorable to
corn throughout the principal corn
producing states, being much too cool
for germination and growth, while
complaints of poor stands are quite
general. Planting is nearing compile
ton in the more southerly states. EX-
cept in Kentucky, where the outlook is
less promising than it was few weeks
ago, the conditions of the past week
have been favorable to winter wheat.
The crop is now heading as far north
as Nebraska and Illinois, and harvest
ing will begin in Mississippi by June
10. Some wheat has been cut in Vir-
ginia, and harvesting continues with
good yields in Texas. Spring wheat
has been injured by frost in the Da-
kotas, some being killed in North Da-
kota In Minnesota the early sOwn is
doing we'll, but the late sown has made
slow growth. Over the southern por-
tons of the winter wheat region the
conditions have been more favorable.
In Wisconsin the week has been
cold and dry, with frosts on the 18th,
10Th and 31st. Ice formed in central
and west counties, but special reports
indicate damage to fruit and other
crops comparatively slight. Corn
planting is about completed. Oats,
barley and spring wheat look fair.
Winter rye is heading and promising
we'll.

He has just returned from Europe
and is now ready to join the racing
men on the Pacific coast, despite the
large amount of work he has gone

Michael has made cycle racing
careful study and is in position to
give excellent advice, not only to rae
ing men, but to Wheelmen and athelets
in general. In reference to his own
methods the following letter will inter
est everybody:

After the exertion of my record rides
while with the Morgan q Wright team
in the south last winter, during which
I lost somewhat in weight, on account
of the unaccustomed climate, was adj

satisfaction that I was impelled to use
it again to brace up from the effects of
the two usually rough ocean trips that
have taken during the past month.
