mofher7
Each days sun Of briiiiance and
warmth brings with 1t sorrow, sick
ness, hunger and want for the other
half" md unusual indeed Ia the day
on which some heart gripping case Is
not brought forcibly to the attention
OF the Associated Charities.
! Entreated on all sides for aid for
families brought face to face with
want for the necessities Of life be-
cause they have felt the grip Of the
taxney hand ef death, the dasAb bling
blow Of sickness or the parg OF de-
sertion, the Associated Charities must
turn a deaf ear to these supplioations
for bread, shelter and sufccAxe from
pain, II the people OF Richmond do
not rally to fts support.
With all nature gay, birds singing
their blitheeomA lays, more fortunate
men, women and children fresh, bub-
bling and buoyant AZ the sound OF the
gladstone summer song of life, the suf-
fering and want OF the INDECENT and
Il but aocentuated and at.
tenuated. The contrast Ia enough 10
emt,itter them against the inscrutAbie
fAt~sy- yet they struggle braveiv on tu
make both ends meet and keep body
and soul intact. Battling against In
surfnountAble odds. held down by the
clutch aud pank OF pain In their own
bodies or those of their loved ones,
they must needs solicit aid and their
eyes instinctively turn toward DIR.

cold. bleak winter months, when the
mercury hovers around the freezing
point and the ground IL fnantlsd with
snow. their confidence 10 well placed
and their suffering assuaeed to the
fun capacity OF the organisation. With
the coming OF the brighter, sunny
months the number or cases on the
rolls OF the Associated Charities IL but
little diminished, and DIR. Buchanan
is hard pressed to dstermine tho most
urgent cases. but a few of which he

REV. ABRAHAM JACOBSON DEAD
Prominent Minister, Farmer and
Legislator Passes Away Sunday
Morning After Brief
Illness.

Citizens of DEBORAH and the vi
entity in which he lived were shock
ed on Sunday to learn of the death
Of Rev. Abraham Jacobson at his
home in Springfield township be-
tween nine and ten o'clock that
morning. During the past winter
he has not been in good health, and
during the past two weeks was con-
fined to his home, yet he was not
supposed to be dangerously i'll, and
his death was entirely unexpected,
in fact some of the family were not
at home at the time. The imme-
date cause of his death was heart
failure.
Abraham Jacobson was born in
Telemarken, Norway, in 1886, and
came with his parents to America
in 1S4S, settling in. Muskego, Wis.

Officials of the census bureau say
that it may be several months before
the final official figures taken from
the count will be available, and that
the advance figures are the most
accurate estimate taat can be made
before that time ''Of course, we
don't like to brag," said one of the
men who helped compute the fig
ures, "but you will find that our
estimates for this year will be very
close to the final count" The bu-
reau declines to give out estimates
for the rapidly growing communi-
ties OF the Pacific coast.
