The Great Lakes have always been great in water, and now they are great in commerce--so great that the record is amazing, even in these days of amaz- ing big figures. Last month, leaving the shipments to Canada entirely out of the reckoning, freight to the amount of 10, ,9gS net tons was shipped by water from our lake ports for American des- tinations. That beats last years Sep temberrecord bymore than 2,50O,O00 tons. The September shipments this year in- cluded 6,6S9,1 155 tons of ore and miner als, 2,S01 S6S tons of coal, 462, 934 tons of logs and lumber, 427,5O4 tons of grain and flaxseed, and 184934 tons of flour Freight to the amount of 9,251 ,220 tons passed through the Detroit river last month -- 7,06OOO7 southbound. Freight to the amount of 7,25O,159 tons passed through the canal at Sault Ste. Marie and the neighboring Canadian canal last month--our canal handling 6,3560SO tons and Canadas handling S94, ,O7O tons. Of this September freight, no less than 5,S65O15 tons were east bound. The $500" and it's Canadian neighbor passed along to this part of tba eountrv. hatweau Janu9rV and September 30, this year. 7O,O2S,7H bush els of grain, 3,954,247 barrels of flour, and 26, ,495, ,9S2 net tons of iron ore.

Obituary.

Mrs. BSidget Berry, an old and be-
loved resident Of this community,
quietly passed away at her home on
West South Srd St., Thursday morn.
ing, January 1s, after an illness Of
several months. During her illness
she was patient and resigned. She
was never heard to murmur or com.
plain, and always had the same sweet
smile and pleasant words for the
many kind friends and neighbOrs who
daily came to see her.
She was born in County Mayo, Ire.
land, Feb: 10, 1889, and married Mr..
Anthony Berry in 1858. Ten chill
dren came to bless their happy home,
six Of whom are now living. They
came to America 10 1884 and settled
In Abilene which has been her home

Rev. Father HOrgsn we're held at St.
Andrews church. Saturday morning,
Jan. 20. and after the delivery Of 30
appropriate sulogy, the deceased was
laid to rest beside her beloved hus-
band who died IL years before.
Mrs. Berry was lady Of great piety
a,tivs 10 the work Of Christian char.
ity and Of that modest retiring dispo.
sitIOn which fully carried out the
commandment Of the Great Teacher,
"Let not thy right hard know what
thy left hand dosth." Now that she
is gone and lives only in the memory
Of those who knew her, in the years to
come they win have no more pleasant
tecollections to place In the casket Of
the Jewels Of memory than that the
never falling blindness with which
throughous her life she always met
her friends and neighbors and the
genial vii which enlivsned her con.
versstion endeHred her 10 every one,
and gave her the ability to exercise
beneficial inhueuee over the lives Of

/ Algeciras, Jan. 19.--The delegates to-
the Moroccan conference held a pri-
vate session lasting two hours Thurs
day afternoon. The session resulted
practically, in an agreement on tlle
main lines Of plan for the repression
Of contraband entering Morocco. It
was feared that this question OF con-
traband might lead to Franco German
tension as to who would carry out
the repressive measures proposed, but
this situation happily appears to have
been averted. The only divergence
was statement made by the Moroccan
delegates that they could not permit
the repression Of or the hunting for
arms without first referring the matter
to the sultan.
. The delegates we're In accord upon
the need Of all the powers, assisted by
Morocco, passing laws penalizing the
introduction Of contraband. This fol-,
