practicing physician of Cambridge,
was called by death in the prime of
his young manhood on Monday even

suited from an undiagnosed condition
probably due to the inhalation of
smoke and hot air at the fire.

Barker residence tomorrow afternoon

in the Union cemetery at Cambridge.
DR.. Hixson is survived by his wife

swer Gods Summons.

A, W. Kenfeld breathed his last at
$40 O'Clock yesterday morning after
being confined to his bed for period
OF two weeks. About three months
ago he was taken sick but recovered
and it was thought he had regained
his usual health. The disease which
deprived him of life-cancer of the
liver-had become too deeply rooted
to be eradicated. He was 81 years OF
age.
Funeral services will be conducted
by Rev. Goodell of the Methodist
church tomorrow afternoon at
O'Clock at the family residence.
Amos W. Kenfeld was born in
Belchertown, Mass, in October, 1843.
He left his native state when a young
man and engaged in business in New
York. He had also lived in Wyom.
ing, Minneapolis and Chisago City.
From the latter place he came to
Princeton in April, 1909, and rented
the old Cater farm, where he remained
until his death. His wife and two
sons survived him-one son lives in
Minneapolis and the other in Massa.
chusetts. He also leaves one sister,
who resides at Belchertown, Mass.
Mrs. Henry Newbert Of Princeton is
a sister of Mrs. Kenfeld.
Mr.. Kenfeld was good and pro.
gressive citizen and was we'll liked by
everyone who had made his acquain-
lance during his short residence in
this village. He had planned to move
next November into. a cottage which
he purchased from the late G. 81.
Chadbourne, and prior to his illness
was engaged in making improvements
to the property. It is to be regretted
that Mr.. Ken6eld was not spared to
enjoy longer residence among the
people who had begun to like and
respect him.

Val Sausser's Annual Corn Roast

Val Sausser gave his annual corn
roast on Sunday and about forty OF
his former neighbors were in atten-
dance. Everyone carried basket OF
provisions to the picnic and Jim
Hartman was selected as corn
rooster. He proved to be frst-class
rooster, otherwise he would probably
have been roasted himself. It took
five bushels of ears to satisfy the
appetites of the assembled guests in
addition to the chicken pie and other
good things. There are different YER
sions of the number of ears which Mr..
Hartman consumed, one person esti-
mating the total at so and another
at five. Jim's figure, however, is two
dozen, and this is probably nearer the
mark. A jolly good time was passed
and it could hardly be otherwise with
such hospitable people as Mr.. and
Mrs. Val Sausser as entertainers.

HeJp the Poor Editor.

My friend, help the editor in his
wild-eyed search for news. When
your friends come to see you, IL you
are not ashamed of it, tell him;
when your wife gives tea party II
you have recovered from the effects
of the gossip, drop in with the
news; when a baby arrives fill your
pocket with cigars and call; if you
go to a party steal some of the good
things and leave 'em with the item
in our sanctum. If your wife ticks
you come in and show us your scars
and let Us tender sympathy through
the paper; if your mother-in-law
has died don't be bashful about 1t,
give all the commonplace news. In
short, whatever makes you feel
proud, glad, lonesome or sad, sub
NIT it to our 24-karat wisdom and
see our matted locks part and stand
on end with gratitude, which will
pour from every pore like moisture
from the dew-besprinkled heart.

Just for Comparison.

Since the Modern Woodmen OF
America was instituted twenty-sev-
en- years ago last January, it has
paid to beneficiaries of deceased
members a grand total of 6,OOO,-
600. If this sum was all in silver
dollars and they were piled one on
top of the other it would make a
stack of silver dollars 127 miles
high. The society is now paying
death losses at rate OF more than
$4,000 each month. This means
$16S,0O0 a week, $4,000 a day
$1,000 an hour, SIC a minute. OF
that every time ones watch ticks
four times day and night. Sunday
included, this great society is drop
ping a silver dollar into the lap OF

ceased member. Great, indeed, are
the wonderful things which can be
accomplished through the cooper

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Items of General Interest i'm Our
City Schools, Reported by
Superintendent Richter.

An exhibit of the drawing, pen
manship and manual training work
together with a few special features
from the grade work will be made
Friday afternoon and evening in
the high school building this week
and on Wednesday afternoon OF
next week on the West Side of the
work of those grades. This exhibit
will contain the sewing work, weav-
ing, woodwork, water color and pen
ell drawing, and in fact, a sample
of all the work that has been done
in these departments, and of every
pupils work. We hope to have all
represented. We intend to have
the exhibit open in the evening in
the high school building so that
those who can not come in the af-
ternoon may have an opportunity
to see the work in the evening. A
number of the fathers who are en-
gagged in shops and other lines have
expressed a desire to see the work
but can not do so at the regular
time, so we have attempted to &C
con!modate them.
Rev. Schneider, according to our
announcement, gave the morning
talk last Wednesday morning. He
emphasized the matter of making
use of the facts gathered in school
life, and pied for more concreteness
in our school life and preparation
for a life's calling, urging upon all
the necessity of choosing a profess
sion or a life calling early.
The ball team won from the Wau-
kon team last Friday with a score

The monthly report of attendance
shows improvement over the former
month in both attendance and in
hardness. Since a reporting system
was established three months ago
the hardness has been reduced from
81 the first month to 30 the month
just closing. We still have too
much hardness, much of it caused
by careleSsneSs, not so much on the
rart of parents as on the part of
children failing to get to their grade
in time. 1t is an important matter
and effects the moral development
of the child as we'll as forms habits
of carelessness in observing business
engagements in later life.

SO. 900 Profit on Iowa Farm.

A grain farmer of Poweshiek
county. Fred McCulluch by name,
cleared $4,000 last year on his
farm of 325 acres. There was
nothing estimated or taken for
granted in arriving at these figures.
Each field had separate account
and the record was posted daily.
This is net profit for one year oil
$3.50 per acre. And yet, with
such opportunities as these open,
Iowa is reported to have lost III
population during the past decade
We advance the opinion that the
reason is going to be brought to
the surface, and the further OBJ
servation that it will not happen
again very soon.

TWINS BORN AS ONE.
Perfectly Formed Body is Found
Within That of 7-MOnth.Old
Boy. First Case in Medical
History.

A case which in many ways eclip-
ses that of the Siamese twins was
brought to light when little George
Petzinger. 7-month-old son of Mar
tin Petzinger, 5000 Elbridge ave-
nue., Chicago, gave his life that
science might benefit. He died fol-
lowing an operation at the Norwe-
gian Tabitha hospital, Francisco
and Thomas streets, where it was
found that a child about seven
months advanced was in the process
of formation in his abdominal cav
ity.
Six doctors, besides those who did
the work, were witnesses to the OPP
Grafton, which was supposed to have
been for a tumor.
Doctors who have not seen the
embryo body extracted from the
boy were unwilling to believe that
such thing happened, and many
said that If really a fact it is the
first time in the history of medical
science.
The only medical term found to
fit the case at all is fetal inclusion.
But for the perfect formation of the
child it would have been classed as
dermoid tumor. which may occur
in either sex, and in which forma-
lions of different parts of the body
are perfect, but the entire body new
er IS completely formed.
The first thing that attracted the
attention of the surgeons was the
feet. Closer examination showed
that the inner child was perfectly
formed in every particular.

MEMORIAL DAY ORDER
Commander of Iowa Department
Urges Observance of the Day on
May 80 i'm General Order.
FLAG DAY TUESDAY JUNE 18th
Requests the Reading of LincOln's
Gettysburg Address at Each
Place Holding Memorial
Exercises

NJ. Mcdonald, commander in chic
of the Grand Army of Iowa, has is
sued his general orders respecting
the observance of Memorial anC
Flag day. The order follows:
Memorial Day: The commander
In chief has in fitting terms called
attention to the obs of Mem,
orial day and Flag day. Memorial
day is solemn day to the members
Of the Grand Army of the Republic;
it becomes more sacred as the years
are passing. The number of graves
is increasing, while the number to
observe the day are decreasing. Al
this time, let us remember that as
we stand before some grave, we not
only strew flowers there, but that in
the act there is symbolism of our
love, our tender remembrance, and
our fraternal appreciation for all
the sacrifices made and patriotism
shown by all the defenders of our
flag and nation. 1t has become SO
universally a custom for posts to
attend service in a body on the Sun
day preceding Memorial day that
it hardly seems necessary to recon-
mend it. Lincoln's Gettysburg adj
dress should be read at Memorial
day exercises and a souvenir copy
is enclosed To the veteran outside
our ranks, | would say that for over
forty years this organization has
been true to its trust, to the memory
of oul comrades and to you. We
have administered to the widow and
orphan as we'll as to needy COM
rades. May l not appeal to you in
the name of that comradeship
which, whether you will or not.
must bird us together in bond
nothing but death can sever. l ap-
peal to you to join us and properly
wear the badge acknowledged the
world over TO be one of honor. There
is not community in this depart
ment in which post exists but has
felt the quickening influence of that
loyalty to home and country which
saved the union and made this re-
public a world power among the
nations of the earth. Justly proud
of the achievements of the past,
devoutly thankful for the bless
ings vOuchsafed to us during
these four decades, we turn to our
comrades of the old line, who still
are not of our membership and ur-
gently remind them of duties long
privileges and associa-
lions not highly priced and press
upon their attention the honor of
worthily wearing the badge of our
order.
Flag Daytime 14th-has been
adopted by the Grand Army of the
Republic as Flag Day. Let every
comrade who is the possessor of a
flag. display it on that day and re-
quest his friends and neighbors to
do the same 1t should be an object
lesson to those coming after US and
no harm can come from intoxicating
devotion for the flag that represents
all that we are as nation, and
what it has cost to maintain it.
Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, rufie OF
drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky!
Hats off,
The flag is passing by!
