A North Carolina jury has de-
cided that when hazing results in
the death of the victim it is to be
regarded as manslaughter and the
perpetrators are to be punished
accordingly. Three prominent
young men of North Carolina have
just been sentenced to a term of
years in the state prison for caus-
ing the death of one of their
schoolmates and their sentence
should exort a SOLDERING influence
on hazers everywhere. School
authorities who find themselves
unable to stop . practice which
sometimes results in death,
should allow the law to take it's

HOT wFATHER
 OPPORTUNITIES

Now that the summer is at its height and merchants everywhere are adjusting their stocks for the fall campaign, you will find 1t ex- ceedinglv profitable for you to read through the various adver- tisements in THE FARMER
 When Summer days are hottest the merchant usually has his mind in the direction of Au- tumn.
 Stock inventories bring to light many lines that while wholly de- sirable must be disposed of with out loss of time.
 These goods are reasonable. It is not considered good storekeep- ing to carry merchandise over from one season to another.
 Merchandise must be sold while there is a denand-not when 1t isn't seasonab1e or desirable.
 Therefore, prices are lfbera1ly reduced to effect rapid and com prehensive c1eaFances.
 It is really surprising how many desirable things can be picked up at this season of the year.
 The stores that advertise must naturally have the best induce ments to offer, for advertising creates business and the busy stores are those that have the Hveliest attractions
 Then turn to our advertising columns.

.ELKs PAY TRIBUTE
TO DEPARTED ONES
IMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL SERVICES
HELD-ADDRESs BY N. E.
KENDALL.

Amid banks of flowers and streams
OF smilax, and in an atmosphere OF
love, harmony and quiet beauty, the
Ottumwa lodge No. BAT B. P. o. Elks
paid tribute to their departed brothers
yesterday afternoon with services
which were most appropriate and i'm.
pressive. The beautiful lodge hall
was decorated abundantly with chrys.
anthemums, roses and carnations, with
slreamers of green connecting the
chandeliers and touching the chairs of
the exalted ruler and esteemed officers.
The services opened with the process
sjonal by Mrs. ]. G. Stevens. A
double quartet, composed Of the ladies'
quartet, Miss Edna Brown, Mrs. e. R.
Mitchell, Miss Martha Hoglund and
Mrs. John Hughes, and the male quar-
tct, ]. J. Trenemann, James Swirles,
Il. r. Mitchell and E. H. Mather, sang
Nearer My God to Thee" Exalted
Ruler L. T. Crisman then led the open
ing ceremonies, the entire lodge par
ticipating. Mrs. ]. w. Hughes then
sang Beyond the Dawn" with tender
pathos which comforted the hearts of
all present.
The ritualistic responses by the Of
ficers followed, after which the
lodge united in singing the opening
ODE. The invocation was then
delivered by Rev. Jonathan Lee, after
which the ladies' quartet sang Abide
witt, Me-" Senator !. F. Weber then
delivered beautiful eulogy, touching
the memories of the departed broth
ers. After pilot Me- by the male
quartet, Congressman N. E. Kendall
Of Abba, gave the address. Mr.. Ken
dali said in part:
1--WE are sometimes inclined to spec
ulate on the dispensations of divine
providence. But we should be mad
indeed if we undertook to analyze the
DEGREES of the overriding wisdom. He
Is an infinite being; We are finite-and
finite minds canont hope to compre-
bend the infinite. Whether death has
been in the fruition Of time or prema-
turely, we mourn and are comforted
in the assurance that the great God,
the ruler of the universe, who notes
each sparrow's fall, has ordered our
lives and decreed our deaths.
1T is the kindly word, the generous
deed and the thoughtful consideration
of the human soul that is of value to
the whole community in which we live.
There is nothing in our life that is
worth while except to serve others,
and this was impressed upon us by the
life OF the master. A man is entitled
TO the success he earns, and whether
it be in literature, medicine, law or
political greatness, his worth is in
variably measured by his contribution
TO his fellow men,"
After the close of Mr.. Kendall's ad-
dress, Miss Edna Brown sang Gounods
beautiful my Redeemer'' with exquis-
lite tenderness and sympathy. Exalted
Ruler Crisman then led the closing
ceremonies, after which the double
quartet sang "My Defense is in God"
The lodge members then united in
singing the doxology, and the service
was closed with Rev. Mr.. Lees bene-
diction.

@. Our church has bonded indebt-
edness of $4,000. These bonds are
owned by members of the church. The
coupons of these bonds are payable
December 1. Some church members
give the interest on the bonds they
hold to the church, that is they some
times place the interest coupon on the
collection plate, with no memorandum
attached as to the giver of such
coupons. The question is how are the
trustees of this church to collect the
coupons since the law provides that,
if exemption of the tax is to be claim
ed. a certificate must accompany such
coupons stating ownership Of the
bonds from which the coupons were
detached? We do not know who the
owners are.
A. If your church wishes to claim
the exemption of tax which, as a
church, you are entitled to, there is
only one way out. Find out the owner
