GIVES CHURCH ALL
Deacon Hanchett, Of LaPorte City,
Lives Simple Life In Order to Give
His Wealth to BenevoIences and
Missions.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo Aug. 16.--Dr. j. A. Earl,
pastor of the First Baptist church,
went to LaPorte City yesterday after
noon to make pastoralsvisits among the
members of his parish who live In the
neighboring city. One of the most In
teresting characters and one OF the
most stalwart Christian gentlemen
among the membership Of this church,
is Deacon David Hanchett( now walk
Ing down the western slope Of life,
with the snow of the accumulated
years whitening his hair Deacon Han
chett's wife died last fall and since
then he has been making his home
with his daughter, Mrs. G. w. Ravlin.
Deacon Hanchett has always been
simple and economical in his liv-
ing. He does this not because OF
any penuriousness, but because
he desires to give as much as
he can to the cause of Christ. The
object upon which he best likes to
lavish money is the missionary cause.
The first hundred dollars he ever had
was given to missions, and in the
early days his gifts for work in for
eign lands and for numerous benevo-
lent objects were such at times that 1t
was necessary for him to mortgage his
farm. Last year Deacon Hanchett's Of
ferings for missions alone amounted
to $L500. He often gives nearly all
OF his income to the church and to
charities, not combining himself to a
tenth. Because of his liberality in
furthering the work OF the church and
bringing cheer and comfort and con-
ISOLATION into the homes Of poor people,
this veteran of the Cross goes very
shabbily dressed.
Deacon Hanchett has three sons who
are doctors-one at Council Bluffs.
one at Sioux City and one at Salt Lake
City. Another son Is a prominent law
yer in Aurora, Ill.

officials are in receipt Of bulletin rel
alive to rural mail service in which It
outlines the position of the govern
ment relative to its employees in this
department Of the service and their

ment will not harbor anyone who con-
tracts debt on the strength Of his or
her position and then neglects pay
ment, without sufficient excuse. On
the other hand, the department will not
be used as collection agency and no
attention will be paid to the commune

pleasing and showed that the crop of

Try This Fine Roasf.

is much neglected. To get it would be
unwise for a small family. as the bone
is large, but for one of average size 1T
is much less expensive than the So
called best cuts" and much more uni
formlv tender. The rib roasts are not
as profitable for family whose mem
bers dislike fat or gristle, and most
little people do both, and the porter
house and sirloin have the tough biz
at the end, but the aitch roast gives
large slices of tender meat, and, over
and above. abundance of clear fat
which is better than lard for many
kinds OF sauIing and drip frying. Much
of this should be removed and rendered
