Electric Lights.

Electric light is now cheaper. The
last argument of other lighting sys-
TENS is gone and they can no long
er offer even the claim of economy.
With Mazda Tungsten Lamps, cleo
trio light becomes at once a greater
luxury and also much cheaper. The
distinctive feature of the Tungsten
Lamp is the metal filament, which
gives a greater quantity of clear,
white light with about one-third
the electricity required by old style
lamps giving the same candle pow
er. 1t will pay you to investigate
this new lamp whether you are now
using electric light or not. We would
like to tell you about these new
lamps. Upper Iowa Power Co.

Representative Henry, chairman
of the house rules committee, now
proposes to broaden the scope of his
resolution changing the date of the
inauguration of the president, so as
to abolish the short session of con-
gress and to provide that hereafter
congress shall meet in January in
stead Of December. Under this plan
congress would meet soon after the
biennial election and members would
not have to wait the better part of
a year before taking their seats, and
the short session of holdovers from
December to March 4 would be done
away with.

Mrs. Stella May Hutchinson.

Stella May, daughter of F. p. and
w. M. Mcintosh, died May IA, 1911,
at her home near Metz, Vernon coun-
| ty, Missouri. The deceased was born
September 4, 1878, near Davis City,
Iowa. She was united in marriage
to Miles Hutchinson in 1902. TO
this union were born three sons and
one daughter. The four children,
with the husband and one brother,
survive her. She united with the
Camden Baptist church in 1895, and
lived a faithful and consistent chris
tan until death. She was a kind
mother and loved by all who knew
her. She leaves many relatives and
a host of friends to mourn her I'M
timely death And whose hearts 60
out in sympathy to her bereft fam
lily. Funeral services were conduct
ed by the writer at Davis City. The
text was from the 23rd Psalm, first
to fourth verse. THE Lord is my
shepherd; l shall not want. He max
eth me to lie down in green pastures.
He leadeth me beside the still wat
ers.
"He restoreth my soul. He leadetn
me in the path of righteousness for
his namesake.
Yea though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death l will
fear no evil, for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me-"
Sister Hutchinson having put her
confidence in God by giving herself
in obedience to his commandments
early in life brought her into touch
with the teaching of this lesson. She
then could say, THE Lord is my
shepherd; / shall not want" Jesus
has said that if you ask anything in
my name l will do it. Relying upon
these promises the second verse of
the text she could claim in full, be-
cause the Lord had provided for her
and her husband in their home, and
giving them a peaceful and happy
life together. While she through re-
pentance was made dead to sins and
alive to Christ, she triumphs over
death in the flesh. She could say,
Though ! walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, will fear no
evil" With this scripture in her
heart she passed away. After services
the body was followed by sympathiz-
ing friends and relatives to the Ham
llton cemetery where it was laid to
rest, there to await the final resur-
rection day. Cyrus Deyoe.

ter herd is one of the largest herds
owned by private individuals in the

eminent is so DESTROYS Of preserving
this herd that they offered the SER
vices of government veterinary in
case any of the, animals became i'll.
Howard Eaton, who is negotiating
with the Singmasters for the pur-
chase of the herd, is the man from
whom Mr.. Singmaster purchased the
seven animals which made up the
original herd. When they were pur-
chased seven years ago they were
valued at $3.50 a piece. They have.
increased in numbers and value until
now there are twenty-three animals
valued at more than $1,000 each.
They are penned up in an eighty
acre park and subsist on grass dur
ing its season and on corn fodder
through the winter months.
A herd of sixteen elks share the
park with the bison. The first of this
herd was purchased by Mr.. Singmas-
ter fifteen years ago.
