For Success In War.

For success in war the indispensable
complement of intellectual grasp and
insight is a moral power which en-
ables a man to trust the inner light, a
power which dominates hesitation and
sustains action in the most tremendous
emergencies and which, from the for
midable character of the difficulties il
is called to confront, is in no men so
conspicuously prominent as in those
who are entitled to rank among great
captains. The two elements-mental
and moral power-are often found sepa-
rately, rarely in due combination. In
Nelson they met, and their coincidence
with the exceptional opportunities af-
forded him constituted his good fortune
and his greatness. Captain Mahan' 8

OBITUARY.
Emerson Kinds was born in Manis,
Onondagua county, New York, the 18th
of April, 1919, and departed this life on
the 9th of September, 1897, at his home
in Otisco. He came to Michigan in
1910, soon after was married TO Miss
Louisa Hill who died about four years
ago. Together they started to carve a
home in the unbroken wilderness.
Four children were born to them, three
of whom survive him, Mrs. Cyrus
Beedy of Smyrna, Michigan; Maurice
b. of North Dakota; and John, who
resides on the old homestead in Otisco.
A few years ago after his marriage his
wife became an invalid and for twenty
three years he cared for her, never
losing courage but toiling on that his
children might be glad. Mr.. Kinds
was genial, kind hearted man, not
only in word but in deed, as many
could attest that are unable to attend
these last sad rites. His last illness
was brief but painful. When informed
by his medical adviser that his case
was hopeless he met the intelligence
with the same brave spirit with which
he conquered all other trials and dis
couragements.
Only the truth that in life he has spoken,
Only the seed that on earth he has sown
These shall pass onward when he is forgotten,
Only remembered by what he has done.

The Tumble Weed.

Tumble weeds spread themselves IN q
wholesale fashion. Instead Of sending
the separate seeds out into the world
with wings Or hairs to carry them, the
whole plant breaks off near the root.
when these are ripe, and goes rolling
along the ground before the wind. The
bare, sun scorched deserts of the great
west produce several tumble weeds. and
there are some in the prairie region. 1t
is natural that they should be most
abundant where there are no hills nor
trees to step them III their course. But
we have one tumble weed in the east
the cid witch grass, SO called maybe be-
cause it rides the wind like an oIa bel
dame In Septeinbe this grass spreads
Its head, Or panicle, with hairlike. pur-
pie branches, III every sandy field. When
the seeds arc ripe, tho plants are blown
ACROSS the iield, often piling up Ill aagses
along fences and hedgorows. AS might
be expected, the hair grass, which has
so effective way Of spreading itself, is
found throughout the United States
from ocean to ocean. Thomas II, Kear.
