Well do we remember when we
announced in these columns the ar
rival of this bright and sweet little
girl, who came to bless the home of
the parents, but little did we think
two years hence we would be called
upon to write the obituary of Little
Nina Cathaleen whose short life, has
brought sunshine and happiness to
the home.
To the bereaved parents whom
death has caused a cloud of sorrow
to fall heavily upon, we with their
many friends of Foster extend our
deepest sympathy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shofner for several
years lived in our midst, where Nina
Cathaleen was born and her short
life was spent. She now rests, in
the little city Of the dead at Pleasant
Ridge, in North Missouri, far from
the home of her birth, but sweet will
be her sleep.

From IN Old Scrap Book.
The earliest date on which Easter
can fall is on March %, and this only
in case the moon is full on March 21,
when this date happens to fall on
Saturday.
This combination of circumstances
Is very rare; it occurred in 1890, 1851
and 1917, and will happen again in
1890. 2076 and 2144. On the other
hand, Easter never falls later than
April q; this was the case in 1888,
and will only happen once in the next
century-namely, in 104S.

BAD EFFECT
ON BUSINESS

With the consoling thought that
when spring finally comes it will
probably come to stay, the people
of the Calumet region put up with
the cold weather and the four-inch
blanket of snow that covers the re-
gion.
Those who We're seeking an op-
portunity to display low shoes and
other spring clothes were disap-
pointed, for it was a case of back
to the overcoats" for them
The unreasonable weather Is hav-
ing bad effect on the mercantile
business. Just as the winter was
so warm that there was only a
small amount of goods sold. so the
spring is so mildly cold that very
little spring goods is being pur-
chased.
