When the hem at the bottom of
trousers wears and begins to break,
open the hem and baste a strip OF
sateen so that the edge just covers the
break. Stitch 1t on carefully, press well,
then turn up the hem again just enough
to hide the strip. Fasten as before and
press again. This shortens the trousers
slightly; but if done very carefully
when they first commence to wear there
will be no noticeable difference in the
length and they will last must longer.
BY using braid this method will also
answer for mending the hens of dresses
that show wear.

Comrade Lantz Mustered Out.

Mrs. Marie L. Basham, Department
President of Iowa, w. r. c., and Ma
tional Instituting and Installing Officer,
has been called upon to suffer severe
loss in the death of her beloved father,
Mr. Lloyd Lantz. Comrade LantZ, who
died at Bushnell, ILL.,, was 20 years of
age, and had been great sufferer from
heart trouble for many years. He was
very prominent in all Grand Army af-
fairs, and had a splendid record in the
war. He enlisted in Co. X, 59th Ind,
and served three years. His sturdy pa
triotism and loyalty caused him to re-
enlist as veteran in Huntsville, Ala,
in 1853, and he served until the close
of the war.
Many beautiful tributes were paid to
his memory. His funeral, which was
conducted by the Grand Army of the
Republic, was one of the largest ever
held in the history of Bushnell, and the
floral offerings were numerous.
Mrs. Basham, despite her great sor-
row, has gone Loyalty on with her work,
just as one might have expected she
would do. While the Department of
Iowa has had many efficient Presidents,
none have excelled Mrs. Basham in
their ardor and industry. The Depart
ment of Iowa has given $3.50 during
Mrs. Basham's year to the Memorial
University, and 1000 new members
have been initiated into the work of
the w. r. c. during the same period.
Mrs. Basham's term has just closed in
a whirl of enthusiastic patriotism, and
her sore heart has the solace of know
ing that her work has been well done.
One of the greatest events during her
whole administration was the two mem
orable occasions at Mason City and
Dubuque, q where TCommander-in-Chi

President w r. G.; Mike Mcdonald,

ever made by any Commander-in-Chief.
There was great enthusiasm in every
Department south of the Ohio River.
The campfres beat everything in the
past that were held as campfires during
annual meetings of the different De-
partments. Great ovations were given
him, not only by the comrades of the
Grand Army of the Republic, but by
the boys who wore the gray. The
Southern Departments are stirred up
with great enthusiasm by his visit, and
he did great work in making a visit
to them. We had with US the National
