avenue, Friday afternoon, Nov, "a,
at about O'Clock, William Henry |
Winpler, aged IS years. Mr., Winkler
bad been critically i'll since aboui TWO
weeks ago when he suffered a slight
stroke Of paralysis. For several years
he has been a sufferer with asthma;
but he was a very energetic man and
was generally thought to be Of very
sound constitution.
Mr.. Winkler was born in Knautt-
Kleberg, near Leipsic, in Saxony,
July Is, 1929. He came to this
country at the age of 20 years and
after a year or two in New York and
a few months in st. Louis he came
with his brother, the late J. F E.
Wlnkler, to Lexington, where he has
lived more than fifty years. Not
long after he came to Lexington he
married Miss Elizabeth Wilker, who,
with their six children, survives him;
Annie (Mrs. John Daehler) and
William f., of Los Angeles, Califor-
mia; Julius @ of Lexington; Elizabeth
MRS j. w. HomeD, Los Angeles
Laura, this city; and Minna (Mrs'
II. H. WesseudorD, of Los Angeles
Besides these Mir. Winkler is survived
by sister in Germany, Mrs. Wallen
berg.
Mr. Wlnkler was a cabinet work
man and followed this trade until thc
organization Of the Winkler Furnitur,
Company in 1880, when he wa
elected its president, which Office il
the company he held cyn'inuousl
until his death. He was very activ
man, and when he had nothing to d
in the Office he was accustomed eve
after he became an old man to flo
employment in the mechanical dc
partment of the factory.
The deceased was a member of th
German Evangelical church Of th
city and Of the Masonic lodge. Il
was man of high integrity, goc
citizen and a valued member Of I'll
business community. The manufa'
turing concern with which his nan
is identified is one of the most 10
portant institutions OF Lexington, ar
its success was promoted by h
business sagaciGy and energy.
The fuaeral service were held at Il
German Evangelical church Tuesd
afternoon, at 2 o'clock, conduct
by the pastor Rev. H. M. Lissa

Dragged Roads.

MS daily route. On this route, route
40 ] , the practice Of dragging the
'otds has been tried a little more
lhan a year, so that the results in all
seasons have now been fairly tested.
Not quite fairly, either, for it takes
some time for a properly arched road
way to be established by any plan Of /
or bookkeeping. The |
testimony Of this carrier, Mr.. Mar
shall, is that the dragged sections Of
roads are so much superior to the
other sections that it would be easy
for driver to tell at night precisely
the place where he was passing from
dragged to undragged roads or vice
versa He says that after or during
the hardest rains only thin layer 90
the road surface is rendered sloppy
where dragging is practiced, and ruts
aud holes never find place where
dragging is faithfully used. On the
contrary he says that the road arch
becomes more firmly established
month after month, and while it
never becomes possible to dispense
with the drag, the time required to
care for dragged road becomes less
and less.
Mr.. Marshall says that the men 90
his route who drag the roads along
heir lands are Ferd T. Bates, K P,
Long, W. NJ. Small, Dan Shull, Henry
B3rtz and George Galloway. Some Of
these men are clreful to drag the
roads after every rain as sOon as the
surface begins to be "mealy." Other:
attend TO the matter little less
reg larly but all Of them have fine
roads adjacent to their farms. Thest
men are doing fine missionary work

AMENDMENTS TO CONSTITUTION
OF ASSOCIATED STUDENTS
AT WHITMAN COLLEGE,
Executive Committee Increased by
the Addition Of One Member
Debate Council Provided,

AT special meeting of the associat-
ed students of Whitman college, held
yesterday, two important amendments
were made to the constitution of the
association. The executive committee
which has control of all students af-
fairs, was increased by one member.
By the new requirements this member
must be chosen from among the girls
of the institution and will fill the Of
amendment meets with great favor
among the girls and there has long
dent body that the girls should have
representation on the body which
manages student affairs.
A council which Will have sole charge
of debate and oratory was created by
another amendment. Formerly the
literary department has been in a
chaotic state for the want of some
body authorized to set the times and
choose the questions for debate and
manage debates and oratorical con-
tests
The council will consist of three
student members and two debating
coaches. The regular election for these
officers will take pace when the other
student officers are chosen in June but
a special election was held yester-
day to elect members for this year.
The only students eligible for the non
or were those who had taken part in
some debate or Oratorcal contest
against another college. There are now
nine students at Whitman who hold
the varsity "W'' for debate. They
are Louis Sutherland, Gaius Green
slade, Roy n. Wolfe, Harold Ellis, r.
v Perringer, Heber Ryan, Walter
Eells, James Gilbreath and Edward D.
Baldwin. The election resulted in the
choice of Greens1ade, Baldwin and
Sutherland Greenslade received far
the highest number of votes cast, get
ting 80; Baldwin, second, with "a;
Sutherland third with Al, and Gilbreath
a close fourth with 46.
