They Do Say.

Herv Richie, who has recently been
picking up cattle in the Cedar neigh
borhoOd, accompanied by Will Ander-
son, took four car loads of extra good
stock over to Chicago during the
week and the stuff sold up around the
top. The trip, so the boys are tell
ing, was the first time Will has ever
been beyond the confines OF Mahaska
county, and they say that he found
the state of Iowa and the town OF
Chicago bigger places than he had
supposed. He met with a lot of ad.
ventures that would tend to set most
anyone thinking. A crowd of friends
was at the train to meet the folks
when they returned home and hear
the latest about the aviation meet

WOOD.-Mckenzie North Dakota)
Gazette Mrs. Ella J. Wood passed
away at the home of her sister, Aug.
9, at 2 p. m For more than two
years Mrs. Wood had been suffering
from diabetes; for some time she
had long to return to Dakota to visit
brother Philip McWilliams and her
sister Mrs. c. D. Rogers and her many
friends with whom she spent her early
married life; she felt that the change
would do her good and give her new
life and vigor and for time she
seemed better but the dread disease
had too vital a hold on her system;
for two months she enjoyed her visit
although at times she suffered but the
end came suddenly and peacefully as
she was surrounded by her relatives.
A short prayer and song service was
held at the home of her sister, Friday,
Aug. II at IL o'clock. Mrs. Craven
and Mr.. King sang Beautiful Isle Of
Somewhere and Nearer Ny God to
Thee. Mr.. Vinton Craven read some
appropriate passages of scripture and
spoke of the loving cheerful service
which had characterized the life of
the departed and made an earnest
prayer. Only the intimate friends and
relatives were in attendance and ac-
companied the remains to the train.
Mr.. c. d. Rodgers took the body to
Oskaloosa, Iowa, for burial.
Mrs. Wood leaves a son Howard and
a daughter Leora, both of whom were
born in Francis Township, N. d., also
a mother, two sisters and five brothers
and a host of friends to mourn.

Proof of His Generosity.

The teacher had a class in English
literature before her. The subject for
the day was Gray's "Elegy." She had
asked the class to bring In questions
on the life of Gray These questions
were to be deposited in box which
was to be opened before the class and
each question read aloud. If no one
could answer 1t the one who contrib.
uted 1t was 10 be called on for the an.
swer.
The first slip drawn out contained
this:
"Givc a proof of Gray's generosity"
The teacher thought of what re.
cluse Gray had been and Of how little
interest he had ever shown in his fel.
lows, and she wondered how any one
could have received the impression
that he was generous.
Every one looked blank, and no one

wrote the question was called on for

Lettora and POSTAGE STAMPS.

strange IDEAS some people have
about postage" said the clerk who
opens the mail Yes. See this letter
here with three one-cent stamps on 1t
and stamped / cent due? That's a
case in point. The writer Of that let
ter thought that perhaps 1t weighed a
little over an ounce, little more than
would so for cents, and so he put on
a little more POSTAGE cent more
which he thought would cover it,when
the fact IS that It required an add
tional two cent stamp. OF course you
know that letter postage is not frac-
tional, but that it goes in multiples of
two. If letter weighs ever so little
over an ounce it requires an additional
two cent stamp. But not everybody
seems to know this, and so we some
times get letters like this one with o
little more postage for a little more
weight" New York Sun.

things all work one way, perhaps an

Today was the date for the resum-
ing of classes in the city schools and
the pupils assembled at the regular
hour, but Superintendent Lawson an
nounced to the pupils of the Eastside
school that they should return to their
homes for today on account of the
lack of fue'. The supply of fuel was
completely exhausted before the holt
days, and owing to some delay, which
could not be prevented, the supply
had not been replenished. To dismiss
school under the circumstances was
wise, owing to the danger of sickness
from exposure to the extreme cold.

been solved by the giving OF assist

These young men leave the farm be-
cause they are repealed by the nard-

soil when properly managed and the
