In Memoriam.

Notice was given last week of the death of
Rebecca L., wife OF George L. Hurrell, OF Gale
donia township which occurred Sunday morn
ing, Oct. 3ist. Mrs Hurrell spent all of her life
in Owosso and vicinity, making by her CHEEKY
face and kindly heart many very warm friends.
1t was hardly deemed possible that one SEEM
ingly so well and strong as she should be vic.
tim OF consumption; but the strong become
weak and frail before its dreaded power.
Through all the weary months OF suffering she
met her friends with true Christian fortitude
and courage, always looking upon the hopeful
side; yet when she realized that her days were
nearly numbered and her courage almost run,
she submitted her will calmly to that of the
Divine, and resting upon His promises, commit
ted her spirit TO Him.
Her many acquaintance remember her as a
kind and loving friend, faithful mother and a
true and devoted wife.
She was "a years OF age, and leaves hus
band, daughter, father and sisters to mourn her
untimely death. We extend to the bereaved
ones our sincere sympathy.

In the recent report of secretary of

In the recent report of secretary of agri-
culture to the President, he has recommend
ed that every foreign embassy be provided
with an agriculturist having definite knowl-
edge Of the workings of the agricultural de-
partment, SO that when specific information
is desired In the interests of the farmers In
relation to the agricultural products or fruit
productions of foreign countries 1t can be
readily obtained. Under the present sys-
tenn of foreign representation 1t is very diffI-
cult to obtain the class of information de-
sired by the department in carrying on its
investigations. Foreign countries are rep.
resented in the United States by able and
practical agriculturists, who watch and
report upon every experiment and move
made by our agriculturists and horticul-
turists.

The Greatest Discovery Yet.

sumption, Coughs and Colds, Experiment
ed with many others, but never got the true
remedy until we used DIR. Kings New Dis
covery. No other remedy can take its place
In our home, as In 1t we have certain and
sure cure for Coughs. Colds, Whooping
Cough, etc." 1t is idle to experiment with
other remedies. even II they are urged on
you as just as good as DIR. Kings New Dis
covery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has q record of cures and besides Is
guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.

Two reflections, too self-evident to be dig.
nified by the name Of deductions, arise from
perusal of these figures. Firstly, thedimin-
ution Of imports of foreign goods and the
substitution therefor Of home made OK home-
produced articles has not been, Is the dem
ocrats predicted. followed by an increase OF
price to the consumer; secondly, England
has not bought less from US, rs the demo-
Gratis said would be the case, in consequence
of our lessened purchases from her. To the
contrary, our sales to England are greater,
while our purchases are less. Which is to
say, we are spending less money abroad and
receiving more money from abroad under
the Dingley law than under the Wilson
law.-Inter Ocean.

1t is estimated by the officials of the
department of agriculture that this country
sends abroad annually in the neighbor-
hood of four hundred million dollars for
farm products. There is small doubt but
that many of these articles could be pro-
duced in the United States II the American
farmers had more definite information In
regard to the cost of their production and
methods of cultivation. Investigations
looking to this information are what the
agricultural department Is engaged In at
present, as 1t is the desire of Secretary VIII
son that as much of this four hundred
million as possible shall be kept at home.
Mr.. Wilson Is proving the most practical
and popular man who has ever been at the
head Of the department of agriculture.
"Uncle Jerry" Rusk, the first secretary of
agriculture, appointed by President Har-
rison, was genuine farmer and an able
secretary, but much of the work of the de-
partment was In an embryotic and expert.
mental state. Under Secretary Morton
much of the work remained at standstill
or retrograded-th beet sugar industry, for
instance. But Secretary Wilson has taken
hold of the work with will and has insti-
tuted more Investigations and experiments
In behalf Of the farmer Of the United States
than were ever thought of heretofore, and
they are bearing fruit too. 1t is predicted
by the friends Of the agricultural depart
ment that that branch Of the government
will, In the near future, be one OF the most
important and influential In the cabinet.
