The death of Mrs. A. G. Ross at
Long Beach, California, was mentioned
in our last issue. The body accomp-
anied by Mr.. Ross and niece and Mrs.
A. L. Brooks of Audubon arrived in
Usage at noon on Monday. MIR. and
Mrs. Win Darr joined them at Charles
City.
The body of Mrs. Ross, together with
the bereaved husband and niece, was
taken to the elegant home of her uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. S. w. Hastings
where they were entertained while in
the city.
The funeral service, held in the
Methodist Episcopal church Tuesday
afternoon, was in charge of the pastor,
Rev. F. w. Court, and the sermon was
delivered by DR.. E. J. Lockwood of
Cedar Rapids who came in response to
the summons of his friend of many
years, since he was the pastor of Mr.
and Mrs. Ross twenty years ago. DIR.
Lockwood preached a sermon which
impressed his hearers with the kind
ness, love and sympathy that was in
heart for the bereaved husband and
niece and plainly showed the high re-
guard that he had for Mrs. Ross, at
whose house he had always been well
come when both were residents of Usage.
The choir was led by Mrs. A. L. Brooks
dear friend and neighbor of the Rosses
at Audubon, who is blessed with u
most beautiful voice.
The day was very cold and disa-
greeable, yet an extra large number of
old friends, acquaintance and neigh
bors gathered to pay last tribute to
the departed and show their high re-
gard for the bereaved. The floral Of
ferings were profuse and beautiful.
The Usage chapter of the P. E. O..
society was organized at the home of
Mrs. Ross some twenty years ago. OF
course the membership has seen many
changes in that time, but a large num-
Der of the ladies were in attendance in
body and among the many floral of
ferings was a beautiful design from
them. Also from the organ club and
the missionary societies.
Following the service at the church
the body was laid to rest with the
other members of her family in the
beautiful Gage cemetery. Usage News

The first step towards amending the
Constitution to provide for an income
tax was taken in June, 1909, and the
following month both Houses had af-
tirmed the resolution, and it went to
the states. 1t has taken the states
three and half years to affirm the legis-
lation, and the legislatures of three
states, New Mexico, Wyoming and
Delaware entered into a race for the
honor of completing this important
fundamental law. Congress will now
pass an act putting the expression of
the original solution, and the approval
that it has received by the states, into
operation. Senator Summons estimates
that one percent income tax will
yield 800. 5000, 600 annually to the
treasury, and he and other leaders of
tariff reduction find good deal of
pleasure in their assurance that this
amount will provide for the slack in
national revenue which will be pro-
duced by lessening the tariff on iron,
steel, wool, etc. An income tax was
provided once before in the German
Wilson tariff law, but it was declared
unconstitutional, and hence it has al
ways been an open question whether
that tariff law would have been sue
cessful had it retained the boosting
support of an income tax. Democratic
statesman are congratulating themselves
over the sixteenth amendment. 1t has
been declared a piece of luck
equal to the gold discoveries following
the election of President Mckinley,
which made certain-if there had been
any previous doubt, of the efficiency of
a gold standard for our monetary sys-
tenn.
The people of the nation hope the in
coming administration will be able to
use this amount to the advantage of all.

Something About Easter.

Easter arrives this year on March 90.
Not since 1918 has it arrived earlier in
the year. In that year it came on
March %. Not until after the year
2000 will it come so soon again. Sixty
seven years ago, respectively, Easter
came on the same date that it does in
1913. The next year when Easter pays
an early visit will be in 1910 when it
will arrive March "a.
The latest Easter of the Nineteenth
and Twentieth centuries was in 1859,
when it fell on April "a. In 1S49 and
1906 it came on April %. Last Easter
was April Z. AS Easter is the most i'm
portant of all the movable feasts of the
Christian church, it determines all the
rest. Hence, this year Ash Wednesday
comes February 5, Ascension Thursday
May and Pentecost May II.
Easter can never come earlier than
March %, and the only time it did or
could do this, from the year. 1901 to
1000 was in 1918. That was made pos
sible by having full moon March 81,
and the following day being Sunday.
That coincidence does not occur more
than once in century, and it is only
then that the feast of the Ascension can
occur in April, and then April 80.
The rule provides that Easter shall
be the Sunday which follows the four.
teenth day of the calander moon which
falls upon or next after March 81.

Ed. L. V. Finster, foreign mis-
sionary, will give two free stereopticon
lectures in the Adventist church at
Audubon on the evenings of Feb. "a
and 25, beginning at o'clock.
Ed. Finster has labored in China,
Japan, Australia and the Philippines.
His lecture and his stereopticon views
will be chiefly on his work, and the
places and people he visited in the
Philippines.
Ed. Finster has had a grand ex-
perience and his lectures are greatly
appreciated where he goes. The people
of Audubon and elsewhere are invited
to be present to hear these lectures.
Don't forget the date.

Cat Sucks Child'S Breath.

George Cross of Glenwood says he
did not believe that cat would suck
the breath of a child until the other
day, A stray kitten came to their
home and they concluded to keep it as
a pet for their child of 2 years, but
now they think not. Something mys-
FERROUS caused Mrs. Cross to awaken
and to her abject horror she found the
kitten with its nose and mouth in
serted in the child's mouth, sucking the
little ones breath. The child was
black and blue in the face and nearly
dead. The cat was quickly thrown out
and the child soon recovered, but pro-
badly ten or fifteen minutes more and
the life would have been ended.

Another Twist at the Liquor Problem.

The assurance of the passage of a
law prohibiting interstate shipments of
liquor, where the state laws forbid the
sale of intoxicants, will relieve the
national government of the charge
urged against it for a great many
years, that it is the protector of blind
pig" In the prohibition state like
Maine. the enforcement of the law will
make it impossible for the several
hundred Kitchen bars" and unlicensed
saloons that thrive year after year in
Bangor, Portland and other cities, to
secure their stock. The same is true of
sections of the south, and in Iowa,
Michigan aud other middle western
states where local option prevails. The
drug store trade is said to be reached
by the new legislation. The bill in the
House caused wide division of Mem
bers, but wholly apart from party lines,
the opponents claiming that the feder-
al government could not consistently
relinquish its power in the matter to
the states. Illinois Congressman lined
up fifteen to nine; Iowa aside from
absentees was solid for the measure,
while Wisconsin cast a majority vote
in opposition. Michigan and Indiana
Congressman favored the bill. The
Webb bill in the House and the Ken
yon bill in the Senate are not radically
different, and a conference Committee
will adjust the views of the two
branches of Congress, so that the new
law, having been already approved in
principle in each Chamber, is assured.

during that period there has been a

CUSTOMER JUST WANTED
THE EGGS ELIMINATED

In the South they say it is GUS
tomary for walters to ask when
breakfast is ordered, How will
you have your aigs?"
One morning a man had ordered
some cakes, rolls and coffee, says
the Chicago Record-Herald. When
the waiter asked How will you
have your aigs?" the man replied,
you may eliminate the eggs this
morning.
The negro looked at him and
went to the kitchen. Returning
shortly he said: "Eh-say, mister
how did you say you would have
your aigs?"
The man replied. az have said
you could eliminate the eggs"
Back went the negro to the kitch-
en-, but returned pretty soon and
said: "Say, mister, we have got a
splendid chef, who has worked in
most of the largest and best places
in the North. and he says he dun
have no tools to Intimate any aigs."

forts were captured, wrote common
datory articles about their brother
servians and their goodness in
helping them.
AS soon as news came of Ad-
rianople's fall, all kilograms and
news omitted mention of Servia' s
aid, and not single word came
from Bulgaria about servia's army
and its valuable assistance. No,
not a word. '.~.@ aiA ir..
"The reason that the minister OF
war was called upon to give in the
Chamber of Deputies full details
and facts in regard to the Servian
army in Adrianople was to show to
the world the real facts in the cap
ture of that city.
THE statement of General Mi
Josh Bozanovich, Servian Minister
of War reads in part:
"'Our army, under command of
General Stepanovich, in front of
Adrianople, consisted of 47,S6S
men, including the officers, and be-
sides that, forty officers and 971
sub4officers of artillery. The army
was maintained at the expense of
the Servian government.
THE Servian army had instruc-
lions to attack the best part of Ad-
rianople. 1t not only attempted,
but took, ditch by ditch, until all
had fallen into our hands. Both of
our divisions did their full duty
with great courage, resulting in the
capture of 1900 Turkish soldiers
and 800 officers. | am informed

city, gave himself up to the TWEEN

losses were 453 dead, 1917 wound

o o o . o . O Q O . @ O o o @


The lot of the Balkan woman Is
probably the hardest in Europe. AS
is general throughout the Near
East, she Is the sole worker in and
mainstay of the family.
The one joyous period of her
life is when she marries, for then,
at any rate, she is allowed to play
prominent part in the proceed
ings.
A Servian marriage feast lasts
any time up to week. Often
enough 1t begins on a Monday
morning, and it Is only with the
greatest difficulty that guests are
persuaded to go home on the next
Sunday night.
The primitive life and hard con-
ditions of Servian and Bulgarian
women were described by former
resident in Servia, who said that
men generally married women old
err than themselves. Said he:
"Courtship in Servia is not CARR
ed on by the young couples, but by
relatives, who act as Intermediates
for the matchmaking rather.
"The betrothal party always car
ries large bunch of flowers, and
the father brings with him a large
cake made of wheat and poppy
seeds.
"The party march into the kitch-
en- of the girls house, their first &C
ton being to stand by the door.
This is to act as a reminder to the
prospective bride that there is no
escape for her.
After much bargaining and
drinking by the men (the women
are excluded, the marriage is ar
ranged and the mans father hands
to the brides father the wheaton
cake with money and flowers on top
of it. This is the betrothal con-
tract.
"By this time it is thought that
the girl is entitled to take par. in
the proceedings and she is called
into the Kitchen. She kisses the
hands of her prospective father-in-
law. and is then entitled to consii-
er herself an engaged woman.
THE wedding feast is so expen-
sive business that the poorer
peasants have discovered roman
tic way of saving money. This is by
kidnapping the bride. by arrange
ment, and carrying her off to
church, where the priest is in wait

And the Dividing Up Of
Present Ones.
THE MATTER OF PUNCTUATION
Seems To Govern the Cues
tiOn Of Division-Au.
thOritieS Differ.
EFFECT OF THE PUNCTUATION

When Texas came into the Unit
ed States II was the common belief
that eventually it would make four
States.
For several years there has been
talk of dividing California into two
States, and this has been revived
since the Jap complications have
arisen.
Recently there has been much
serious discussion of a proposal to
divide Florida into two States, and
the public men and newspapers Of
that commonwealth have been
moved to express well-deiined opin-
ions on the subject.
Strange as it may seem, it has de-
veloped that on the punctuation of
the provision of the Conctitution of
the United States relative to the
formation of new States may de-
pend, eventually, the decision of
the question as to any one or all
three of the States concerning
which division has been suggested.
The Constitution provides that
mo new State shall be formed or
erected within the jurisdiction of
any other State, nor any State be
formed by the junction of two or
more States, or parts of States,
without the consent of the Legisla-
lures of the States concerned as
well as of Congress"
This provision is copied. pune
tuation and all, from the Constitu-
ton as it is printed in the Iowa
Official Register. But the ques-
ton has arisen as to whether a
comma, colon, or semicolon
properly is used after the word
STATE" at the end of the clause
within the jurisdiction of any 9TH
err State,' and before the word
NOR" The Worlds Almanac uses
the comma, but Judge Charles o.
Andrews, of Florida, discussing the
question, uses semicolon; while
the Constitution as it appears in the
revised statutes of Florida carries
semicolon, and the semicolon is
used in the Federal Statutes Ammo
tated. OF course the original copy
of the Constitution will govern. and
the fact that Kentucky, Tennessee
and Maine were cut off from Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Massa-
achusetts. would indicate that the
comma is correctly used. However,
West Virginia was cut from Vir-
ginia and it has been insisted that
it was invalid because the Legisla-
ture did not approve it. but the new
State does business just the same.
The effect of the punctuation is
obvious. A semicolon at the point
indicated would forever preserve
Texas, California and Florida as
they now are; but doubtless their
own Legislatures never would con-
sent to their division even if not
guarded and saved by a semicolon.
