On the green hillside where the

And plant sweet forget-me-not

say he is dead,
And hnger about his flower-strewn

Though they heap on his casket
six feet of cold clay
They cannot conceal those sweet
dark eyes from me.
All we say of him-all that we

Is that he was lowly and good.

With a smile on his face and
love in his heart.
Going about as his Saviour went,
Under the pressure OF Gods intent.
From jesus hand he never with

His own. He led him, his brief
life through.
Now in the calm OF the summer

We kneel by his grave and weep
and grieve.
Kneel in the dismal void. crying.

Why did you take him? We
loved our boy"

THE POOR FARM
Financial Showing of Audubon
County's Poor Farm for the Year
OF 1011.

The total amount received for
live stock and grain sold from the
county pocr farm during the year
1911 was s1616O5.
During the same time the total
expenditures of the farm were
$.6o2...5
This would seem to indicate a net
loss to Audubon County of $1O37.2O
in conducting the farm during
1911. But this conclusion is incor-
rect as appears below:
At the beginning of the year 1911
the inventory value of all live stock.
produce, implements, tools, house
hold goods, etc., on hand was
$4654.50. At the end of the year
the inventory value of all of the
above items on hand was $517O,
showing a gain of s515.50.
This should of course be deduct
ed from the loss shown above, and
leaves a net loss of S512.70 for
the year, to which should be added
interest on the money invested
AS an offset to this APPARENT loss,
there is to be considered the in
crease in the value of the property,
due to rise in land values, which is
no small item. 1t isrfatio vgbyp
no small item. 1t is fair to assume
that this increase in value would
at Least be equal to the interest ON
the money which the county has in
vested in the farm.

cording to a statement issued by the pub
fishers tonight, have started movement
for a nationwide strike OF newspaper press
men. This and charges by the publishers
that the pressmen were ausing misleading
statements in efforts to gain sympathy
were the principal Developments to-day in
the situation.
Although policemen remained on guard
al newspaper Offices and many newsstands
and accompanied distributing wagons about
the city. to-day was the quietest since the
trouble between the publishers and press
men began More papers were distributed
and sold to-day, and the publishers said
they expected normal conditions before the
end OF the week.
The statement issued by the publishers
says in part:
The newspaper strike in Chicago shows
evidence Of approaching dissolution TWO
body blows were given TO the effort to tie
IN the entire industry when the mailers'
union, by a vote of nearly 100 to s, re
fused 10 so on a sympathetic strike and
when the electrotypers' union. despite ap,
peals from members of the stereotypers'
union, declined even TO vote on the propo-
sitiOn.
James j. Freel. president of the Inter
national Stereotypers and EleCtrotypers
Union. continued his efforts TO force the
members 10 resume work and to call OF
their strike. called in defiance of his spe-
citic orders.

amount was voted; in other cities they
were told that the unions would not as

many misleading statements. They alleged

Association. at its recent meeting In New
York had started war OF determination
on union labor in the newspaper offices OF
America: 1t was also set fortn that iund
of $4,000 had been raised for this purpose,
and that the Chicago trouble was the nrst
blow in the campaign.
No such fund was raised and no such war
on unionism was contemplated.
Members OF the local typographical union
held a meeting TO consider the pressmen' 8
trouble late to-day. but adjourned until
Sunday without taking action. Interna-
tional President Lynch attended the meet
ing and urged them TO refrain from any
action looking toward a strike Mr. Lynch
