MRS. HELEN MOSES
PASSES AWAY
Her Demise was Due TO
deart Disease.
Remains will be Brought to This
City for Interment,
Wednesday.

Mrs. j. W. Myers. of south of
the city, received message Mon
day from Indianapolis TO the ef-
feet that her sister, Mrs. Helen
Z. Misses died at her home in that
city. Monday morning. The deeeas-
cd was national president of the
Woman's Board OF Missions and one
OF the most prominent religious
workers in the country.
For number OF years the de-
ceased was a resident of this city.
She was formerly Miss Helen Tur-
ney, and was widely acquainted in
this city. She was born in Columbus
and when small girl her parents
moved to this city. Later she re-
sided in Topeka. Kansas, Chariot
tesville, Virginia, and finally in
Indianapolis, Indiana.
The cause OF demise was neart
, disease. with which she had been
a sufferer for a number of years
tder death was very sudden and
she was able to attend to house
hold duties until a few hours be-
fore death occurred. She was tc
have been in Columbus the latter
part OF this month TO attend the
national convention OF the Churches
OF Christ.
Mrs. Myers left Immediately fol

for diminishing the operating ex-
of the city. The boards convened
at 3 o'clock and were in session
until after FIVE.
The session was principally a
CAB fest there being no action 10
take but simply to lay plans for
a terrible slaughter of expenses.
In the future. Economy" "Econo-
my, was the cry OF all present
that expenses surely must be cut
even though many inconvenience
may result
The body calculated the exact
amount necessary to run the city
for the next year, figuring the ex-
penses which are absolutely neces-
sary. 1t was determined that after
the water, light, salaries, sinking
fund amount and library guaran-
tee are paid there will remain only
a few dollars in the treasury with
which to clean the streets and er-
feet various other improvements
which are most essential at times
to a city's prosperity.
The service board is apparently
in worse straits in a financial way
than any other body. This board,
according to the figures OF the city
auditor, has spent $4,000 already
this year and there are score
of improvements that are now un-
der way that must be completed
which will require enormous expen-
ditures. This board started out the
new year by increasing the salary
list by few hundred dollars a
month. In the street cleaning and
sewer department where one man
had previously superintended the
work the board saw fit to put on
a second superintendent at a sal
airy of $40 per month. A regular
park superintendent was employed
and his salary raised to $75 a
month. The records go to show
that the park superintendent has
employed more men in his depart
,ment within the past several
months than has been employed by
the street superintendent.
Member Issleib was of the opin-
ion that park improvement should
be discontinued and recommended
that the services of a park sup
erintendent be dispensed with dur
ing the winter months. Service
board member Harry Krause sub
mitted figures showing that the
city's expenditures so far this year
do not much exceed the expendi-
lures OF the same months a year
ago.
The two hours OF talk resulted
in the assembly coming to this
conclusion. That the health, services
and safety boards make out an
| itimized account of the expenses
absolutely necessary to run thell
respective departments through the
year and submit a report of the
same to council at its meeting next
Monday evening. After this is done
more definite steps will be taker
on the economy question.

Additional Editorial.

The Fargo State Fair management
a better and bigger fair than
ever for this year, and judging from
the premium list just issued and the
announcement on the next page of this
issue, we are forced to conclude that
such is indeed a fact. The fairs held
at Fargo for the past two years have,
each in turn, proved that the Fargo
Association means to give the people
the best show that money, push and en-
ergy can command, SO: that when they
something better than ever
for this year, we feel no, hesitancy in
saying to our readers, that they will
see something novel, instructive and
amusing during the week of July 20-25
at Fargo State Fair, and our advice to
all is, to arrange their affairs so that
they and their families may enjoy a
week of thorough recreation at Fargo
during the Fair.

Too Much Furniture.

Most people have far too much fur
n1ture in their houses, and certainly
the majority Indulge in too much tex
tile fabric. Too many curtains, too
many antimaccassars, too many mats
n cushions. All these things col.
lect and hold dust. and curtains shut
out fresh air and sunshine. Carpets,
especially in the rooms we sleep in.
I would abolish.
The bedroom carpet is a snare, and
the sooner it makes it's final exit the
better for the family health. That
great artist and critic, William Nor.
r1s, once said: "Have nothing in your
house that you do not know to be use.
tul or believe to be beautiful. This
Is counsel many women might take
to heart, thereby making their homes
much more healthy, a very great deal
more beautiful, and undoubtedly far
easier to keep clean and orderly"

Many Have Been County Officials, Es-
P~eciaIIy In Western Part Of State.
The appointment of Mrs. Levi Coop.
er as Probate Judge of Mitchell coun.
ty by Gov. Hoch and the discussions
that resulted from this appointment
nave developed the fact that nearly
every kind of Office in the state ex-
cept state Offices has one or more
woman occupant.
Mrs. Cooper is the only woman in
the state who is serving as probate
Judge. However there is one woman
county attorney in Kansas. Miss
Gala Heir,line is serving her third
term as county attorney Of Seward
county. .
Western Kansas has had several
women county attorneys, but the Gus
tom never appears to have become
popular in the eastern part of the
state: In Norton csunty Kate John
o has just completed a term as coun.
ty treasurer. There are half a dozen
or more county registers of, deeds in
the state and probably thirty women
county superintendent of schools.
So far as is known there are no
women In Kansas serving as clerks Of
the district courts or county commis-
sioner. However, several have served
as mayors of cities. Ia several in.
stances there have been women candi-
dates for state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, but they were not
elected.
The Socialists at their recent con.
vention in Topeka nominated a Girard
woman for state superintendent in
spite of a strong speech made against
1t by her husband.

and bookbinding, and in regard to the
latter work has turned out some really

Like Queen Alexandria, her mother,
Queen Maud, is very skillful with her

Sometimes Has Beneficial Effect on
Overwakeful Brain.
Reading in bed, like, most luxuries,
can be overdone, in fact there seems
to be only m excuse for this fas.
cinating way of ending the day. Ger
tain people find that their worries &C.
cumulate in their brains after bed
time; their nerves are at high ten
sion and their minds are actively at
work trying to solve problems that
should have been left behind in the
city. .
Going to bed with the brain in such
a state means that with nothing to
distract the thoughts, hearing nothing
and seeing nothing in the darkness
imagination has full sway, e1d hours
of wakefulness may be tie result.
Such a man, we think, will iud half
an hours reading in bed a great help.
With careful attention paid to the
quality and position Of the light so
that without Pickering it shines over
the shoulder and directly on to the
page the much maligned habit Of read
ing in bed has sometimes a very
beneficial effect on a tired and over
wakeful brain.

The taxes in Italy to provide war
