Greeting and Farewell.

The blooming SO bright
That in April we knew
Has all taken flight.
And the flowers we view
In their splendid array
Are strange to the eye;
It's "howdy," today,
And tomorrow, goodbye.
But the new ones beguile
Like the old ones SO dear:
There Is room for a smile
Side by side with a tear,
And the world goes it's way
With song and sigh.
It's ''howdy." today,
And tomorrow. goodbye"

1T was with regret that we learned
of the action of the National Encanp
ment of the G. A. R.. lately held at
Atlantic City, compose q as it was
largely of ex-officers who are now
maintaining lobby before congress
trying to have themselves on the re.
tired list of the regular army, in re
iecting and turning down the claim OF
the soldiers and sailors Of the civil
war for a pension of one dollar ($1)
per day.
"The members of Cloutman post No.
50, department of Iowa. G. A. R., re
specially represent that in our opin'
ion and belief it was the men behind
the guns who endured the hardships
who received as compensation mere
pittance and whose bravery and eff
ficiency really saved the union, and
who in their declining years should be
relieved at least In part from the
struggle for obtaining the means for a
livelihood, by the government whose
life they saved by risking and weaken
ing their own.
Therefore be 1t resolved that in our
opinion it is the duty of congress to
grant each of the honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors who served In the
civil war for not less than ninety days
a pension of one dollar (s100) per day

HAEFNER GIVES
FIRST SERMON
FORMER PASTOR OF LOCAL GER.
MAN CHURCH BEGINS SERV-
ICES At MUscATlNE.

| Rev. John Haefner, formerly pastor
of the local German Lutheran church,
gave his first sermon in his new
charge, the Evangelical Lutheran
/; lions church in Muscat1ne Sunday.
The Journal Of Muscatine tells OF the
beginning of Mr.. Haefner's new
passionate as follows:
Pastor Haefner took for his text:
First Corinthians, chapter Kill, the
thirteenth verse: and now abideth
faith, hope, love, these three, but the
greatest Of these is love-" The minister
pointed out in his Introductory re-
marks the Importance of the day Tor
the congregation as well as for HIM
self on account of the change In
pastors He showed his new congre'
cation that at the root of everything
connected with Christian congrega'
ton lies the thought that we have no
abiding city in this world, that we are
only sojourners and that eternal life
is our goal. He showed that there is
nothing abiding and lasting in this
world unless it be faith, love, hope. He
compared his coming to this congrega-
ton to the coming of Eleazer to Meso-
patamia in order to win bride for
his master. Holy writ speaks Of the
church as Jesus bride, ministers are
only the servants of Christ, whose
duty it is to win souls for Christ. And
as Eleazer came with gold and precious
stones so he has come to his people
with faith, love and hope and he ex-
pressed the wish to be met by them
in the same spirit Faith or conf
dence. is absolutely necessary for
happy relation between pastor and
people, even in worldly affairs there
can be no success unless there be con-
fidence, but this faith must be rooted
in the faith of Jesus Christ; such faith
makes brothers and sisters OF men and
women, who are otherwise strangers,
and with such faith the pastor wishes
to approach his people and be ap-
preached by them Such a faith will
be the tie that binds together pastor
and people. But faith cannot %
without love and charity. The apostle
in the text gives classic and most
beautiful description of Christian love,
he certainly came to the Cor1nthlans
in love, and as Pastor Haefner assured
his people, that. he has come to them
his hand and heart full OF
that love which has it's source IN the
love for Him who has loved us first,
Christ the crucided, and he expressed
the wish that they would meet him in
the same spirit of Christian love. He
explained what Paul meant by the
words: "But the greatest of these is
love-" because love was biding beyond
coffin and grave. while faith would
pass into having and hope into seeing.
And finally the pastor said he comes
to them with a vivid hope. Hope, he
said. is a good thing, it makes a man
cheerful and winters blasts will pass
away. spring will be ushered in. So
1t is often in a congregation. He ex-
pressed the hope that the people would
he faithful to Gods house and word.
and he showed that the future would
be a bright one.

WILL INSIST ON RAISE.
Cerro Gorda County Officials Claim
Higher Salaries on Census Show

Cerro Gordo County Officials Claim
Higher Salaries on Census Show
ing Say Count is ecognized.
Mason CT y, Dec. ia good deal OF
interest has been manifest in this city
and county over the report from Des
Moines and published in large num-
Der of papers of the state, that the fed
eral census will have no bearing on the
salary of the officers of the county.
Cerro Gordo was among the few coun-
ties of the state that showed good
healthy increase in population. The in
crease of salary of the county officers
here ranged from So to $25 per month.
Since the Des Moines report was re-
ceived some of the officers have had
their legal advisers at work and their
report is that the federal census does
have legal standing in the state. SO
far as they have been able to learn
from an examination of the laws they
can not even see any basis for such
report that the federal census would
not maintain in the regulation of
salaries. In any event already a
m ovement is on foot to contest this
M after in the courts should there be
some technicality in the laws dis
covered.
