Everybody knows that rumors were
rife earlysslast year that negotiations
were under way for an engagement be-.
tween Princess Patricia, the second
daughter Of the kings brother, the
Duke of Connaught, and the king Of
Spain. AS is now apparent it was not
the kings fault .that.ssit did not take
place. Save for the religious obstacle,
which Princess Ena tripped over so
lightly, the match would have been
highly appropriate. Tho neither Of
them can be called beautiful, according
to the standard that prevails ontsida
the charmed, circle Of royalty, most peo-
pie would consider Patrieia, rather the
better looking Of the two. She has
certainly more brains and is much
more vivacious. She is Just two
months younger than the king.

Iustrious, virtuous and upright ances.

dustrious. virtuous and upright ances-
tors Such having been 70 large ex-
tent, the ancestry Of the laps, it is no
wonder that they have with such great
ease and facility appropriated the ben
etits Of modern civilization. The early
settlers Of this country had an Unborn
respect for the aged, and wherever the
old men and women went, wherever
they might be. they were .honored,
loved and obeyed. Another thing to be
placed to the credit of these early set
tiers, they believed in education. It
required great sacrifice on the part Of
the parents who raised such large fam
lilies in this practically settled country
to provide the rudiments of education
for all the children. 1t meant to length
en- the hours of daily labor and often
to cut short the supply Of food and
raiment, but they, like the early set
tiers Of New England, considered edu-
cation Of so much Importance that no
sacrifice was so great as to prevent
them from giving their children the
benefits thereon so far hs possible.
again, these early settlers taught
their children courage. There were In
dians and wild animals and snakes
and almost every other thing that
would naturally tend to cause children
to be afraid, which the children of the
old settlers of this country had to en-
counter. It became necessary often
for the small child to go long distances
through the woods alone; to cross
swollen streams without bridges, to
drive the team through the swamps
and miry places without assistance
and in all such trying experiences he
had nothing but his own courage and
ingenuity with which to guide, protect
and defend himself. But boys raised
up in that way make brave, courage
Gus men, and such are the bulwark oil
every country.
BrotherIy Love.
Again, these early settlers believed
in brotherly love. There was much
sickness throughout this uncultivatet
country, and epidemics of chills, fe
vers, and almost every other kind O.
a disease were frequently passing ovel
these communities. They had ne
trained nurses; they in fact had bu
few doctors. The old women of the
community generally supplied thu
place Of doctors, and almost ever,
man and woman was nurse. The,

settlers Were Patriotic.

0eIIiSrS WCTC FdtTiSttSs
Again, my fellow citizens, there Isl
one word always inspires an American
audience, the word patriotism Next
to goodness. with which 1t is linked,
it is the highest element Of human
character. The early settlers Of this
community were patriotic men and
women. They believed that the happi.
ness of their homes was united with
the cause of the country and that their
country's cause was a righteous one.
They believed that there is destiny
that controls nations as well as indi-
viduals. When we think of the careers
of men like Alexander, Caesar. Hanni-
bal and Napoleon, we are often led to
wonder If, after all, divine hand is
shaping things to mans advantage.
But as the ages go on, 1t becomes mora
and more apparent that such is the
| fact There is a great inspiration in
the thought that right will ultimately
prevail. 1t is a thought that ought to
be uppermost in our minds. Many OF
| the old settlers to whom / speak to-
day were boys and girls and young
men and women forty-five years ago.
There came at that time as you SO
well remember. crisis in the affairs
Of this country that tested the charac-
ter of it's manhood and womanhood
and tested the courage and patriotism
Of these young men and women; and
one of the proudest things that will

Mr.. Newell's Address.

L. F. Newell said in part:
Against my wish l have been put
on the program today for short ad-
dress. I will take you back to when,
in the spring Of 1916, my father, Will
liam Newell, then living in the great
Wabash Valley, twelve miles west of
Lafayette, Ind, concluded to come
west. He saddled his horse and start
ed, and after long, tedious ride, came
to Wapello county, and bought what
was then known as the Col. Chapman
claim, now the John Newell farm. He
then returned to his home IN Indiana
and loaded up his family, with what
few household goods he could take, in
Ia common two-horse wagon, then
known as the prairie schooner. He ar
rived here about the 18th of August,
1886, now sixty years ago. ! was then
small boy five years old l have liv-
ed here ever since. I have seen the
prairie grass, then called the blue
stem, broken up and put in cultivation
The log cabins, after their many years
of usefulness, have about all disap.
peared, and more modern frame and
brick buildings have taken their
places. The old log school houses that
we old settlers went to school in have
also disappeared and but few of you

time ways of hiring the school teacher
