Is days, r..
The deceased was born in Berie,
Norway, June 26, 1918. He came
to America in 1849, settling at first
in the eastern part of the state.
From here in company with Hans
Stumble, a neighbor from the same
place in the old country, he came TO
Martell in 1880. These two men
were the first settlers in the town.
Mr.. E1ertson had been hale and
active, for one of his age, up to
within few months of his death.
He had left his home with his
daughter, Mrs. Gregerson, on the
old homestead, for visit with Mr.
Johnson at Wildwood where the
summons to his eternal rest came
to him and was obeyed.
Mr.. Elertson was man of infu.
ence in the community and was
always held in high esteem wher-
ever he was known.
He leaves two sons, Edward and
Matthew of this city and one daugh-
ter, Mrs. August Gregerson of Mar
tell. His wife died FL years ago,
and daughter, Lizzie, died three

The end Of the coal strike is in
sight. A common ground of agree

Three hundred and seventy-fve
reserved seats had been sold up to

without using chairs in the aisles.
1t is not the accustomed incidents
of life, the wonted events, that leave
deep impressions upon our minds.
Common experiences may be recall
ed with more or less mental effort,
or may be occasionally rehearsed by
association of IDEAS 1t is the
uncommon incidents that make dis
tinct, lasting, profound impressions.
These may be of the character that
do violence to the feelings, the SEN
sibilities, either in physical or men
tai injury; or they may be of the ma
ture that amuse by their oddly,
grotesqueness In either case the
impression is abrupt, unexpected.
In everyone's experience there are
CONSPICUOUS incidents that are like
beacon lights upon the islands of
the sea; or prominent landmarks
upon the landscape of memory that
rise distinct and luminous upon the
mental vision at the slightest glance
of retrospection.
In view of the high price of fuel,
present and prospective, people are
looking about for a substitute that
may take the place of wood and
coal in furnishing the necessary
amount of caloric. One device, the
suggestion of woman, that is re-
ceiving much favorble mention, is
a brick-or several of them if one
does not answer the required pur-
pose-Soaked in kerosene. These
are presumably to be put in the
stove and ignited. But there is a
device on the market which is prov
ing eminently practicable as furnish
ing the desideratum for which the
people are looking in this emergen-
cy. This is an appliance for the
burning of kerosene for fuel. The de-
vice transforms the oil into a gas
in the process of consumption.
The device may be placed in any
stove. A tank on a shelf supplies
the oil to the flame through a lead
pipe furnished with a stopcock.
The supply of oil may be regulated
according to the amount of heat re-
quired. One of these appliances
may be seen in operation in the res
taurant of M. E. Mellen, in the
building formerly occupied by the
telephone exchange.
