HOME GREATLY sADDENED
Second Child of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Duncan Claimed by Death on
Friday Last.

| The home of Mr.. Henry and Sarah
| (Beck) Duncan was greatly saddened
on Friday, Jan. "a, 1918, when the
angel of death entered and claimed
little Allen Marway, the second child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan. During his
| four weeks illness, with what was
pronounced to be inflammatory rheu-
matism he bore his affliction with
patience and remained conscious until
| the end came. Just few moments
before his death his attention was
called to some beautiful souvenir post
cards which had been brought in the
mail. He made an effort to admire
them, but said that he couldn't see
them. The attending nurse, realizing
that the time for his departure had
come, summoned all the members of
the family to his bedside, but the
spirit had taken it's flight before they
could reach him.
The deceased was born Nov. 10,
1902 in Paradise township and was
10 years, 2 months and days old
when he died. OF the family he
leaves to mourn his departure
his father, mother, two sisters, Helen
and Hattie, and two brothers, Bernard
and Lewis, besides numerous rela-
tives and large circle of friends.
Allen was of mild and genial dis
position, loved and admired by all
who knew him best The whole COM
munity mourns his loss and the fam
lily has the sympathy of host of
friends.
The funeral was held Monday, Janu-
airy 27th from the home in Paradise
township, where a large number of
relatives and friends gathered and fol-
lowed the remains to the German
Lutheran church in Denison. Rev.
Frese officiated, delivering an excel
lent sermon, full of comfort and con-
ISOLATION, at the close of which the
body was laid away in Oakland Gene
terry south of town.

Biarritz 1850 describes the empress
personally and discusses the fabulous
amplitude of the dresses she wore:
"All this stuff is supported by q

empress is greatly attached to this

full and inconvenient. She sticks to 1t

whom she simply replies that she does
not know how she lived so many years
without cage.
II can only find two excuses for this

are not hampered by skirts and petit
coats hanging on their calves and
thighs and impeding their movements,

The Pecan.

1t is interesting to record that the
first grating of a pecan tree WAS ac-
complished by negro slave. and it is
doubtful whether any other member Of
the black race has ever performed an
economic service to this country that is
so signal in its importance. In 1871
Antoine. the slave gardener Of TeleS-
phore j. Boman Of Louisiana. grated
sixteen trees of the variety that is now
known as the Centennial. He later
succeeded in grating | 10 other pecans,
and these were the only grated nut
trees in America before 1S6J.-Archi-

John Grelck, the late county clerk
of the court of Carroll county, who
committed suicide a week or two ago,
was found to be short $5,743.S5, &C
cording to the report placed on file
by George F. Poorman, expert account
ant, who was employed by the board
of supervisors to check up the office.
According to the report the greatest
shortage during the time that Grelck
held the Office was during the years of
1911 and 1912, although there were
some. irregularities dating from the
time he was first elected to Office. On
deposit in three banks in Carroll are
items aggregating $1,700 to Grelck's
credit, which will reduce the shortage
to something like 100000. Since the
suicide of Grelck, which occurred on
January 18th, many wild rumors have
been circulated regarding the motive
of the deed, and after a hurried exam
ination by the board of supervisors in
to the affairs of the clerks office, it
was discovered to be best to employ
an expert accountant.

amusement until the "Wee sma'
hours" Those in attendance from

Minister Defends X-Ray Gowns
and Slit Skirts, and De-
nounces Washers.

RoCKLAND. ME-, Sept. 27.-Rev.
Louis A. Walker, minister of the First
Unitarian Church of Rockland, is
hailed as the champion of the pre-
vailing style of dress by the women.
Notwithstanding threats of arrest by
police in other cities against wearers
of the X-ray gown and the slit skirt,
the Rockland minister says:
"To brand the wearers Of these
fantastic gowns as vulgar is an in
suit TO a large portion of American
womanhood. The immortality is with
those who see the suggestive rather
than with those who wear novel gar
ments."
Mr. Walker is sincere in his own
suggestion of binders for the men
who ogle women in modern garb. He
declares the proper censor Of styles
would be "a prim and ancient maiden
with ringlets."

PANAMA, Sept. 27.-The most i'm

GRAFTON of the Panama Canal took
place yesterday when the seagoing
tugboat Gatun, drawing twelve and a
half feet of water was successfully
passed through the Gatun locks and
last night floated on Gatun Lake.
Thousands of persons saw the test.
This was the first attempt made
to operate the locks on the Canal
and the result was highly pleasing to
Colonel Goethals, chairman of the
Canal Commission.
The upper lock flied in the fore
noon and in the afternoon the water
was admitted TO the middle and lower
locks, but It was not until 4:45 p. m.
that the water in the lower lock had
reached the level of that In the sea

At that hour the sea gate was

VIZ ASHINGTON, Sept. go
w If the German people
adhere to their apparent
determination not to take part in

will be a matter for sincere re-

can people. and In my judgment

Of industrial activity, In which
she plays so prominent a part.
This exposition celebrates the
completion Of the greatest work
Of many centuries The building
of the Isthmian Canal, cutting in
twain a hemisphere and shorten
ing the sailing distance between
European and South American
and Oriental ports, and the west
eru coast Of our own country, is
OF tremendous importance 70

these Germany stands in the
forefront. Her commerce viii be

America and the Orient. German
goods and German manufacturers
should be there to greet them. II
seems to me that this will afford
an opportunity which, combined
with the opening Of the canal it.
self, will never again be available
for those whose aim is the ex-
pansion of their national trade
and commerce.
In view Of the fact that this
country is enacting legislation
with respect to our tariff that
broadens the field of international
trade intercourse, il is especially
advantageous for Germany and
all other European countries TO be
represented at this exposition Our
new tariff, in nv judgment, will
be beneficial allie TO American
and to foreign trade and To com
merCe. and those who are domi-
nant in the field OF International
Industrial activity Will not fail to
see the wisdom Of being repre-
scented at San Francisco in 1915.

XXTASHINGToN. Sept. 10
Wv The exposition to be held
at San Francisco in 1915
will be an international affair to
celebrate the completion of the
Panama Canal.
II is an event Of world wide
significance and Importance. The
United States undertook the her
culean task and carried II TO COM
pletion, not only for the benefit
our citizens would derive here
from, but in a broad and humani-
tartan sense, 10 aid the commerce
and intercourse of the whole
world.
The minor differences at pres
ent existing in connection with
the rate OF charges through the
canal should not interfere with
any nation participating in the
celebration of this great achieve
ment. Especially has il been
disappointing TO see that Germany
has RETAINED thus far from par
ticipating In this great exposi-
ton.
We have a large commerce with
Germany, consisting alike of i'm
ports and exports. The very large
trade between these two nations
II profitable TO both The increase
OF this commerce both In selling
and buying will be of mutual add
vantage.
Everything should be done to
promote this increased commerce.
II is believed the present reduce
tion OF tariff duties will benefit
both the United States and Ger
many. 1t would seem TO me a
wise policy on the part OF the
Government of Germany when
the United States, through great
reduction Of custom duties, is in
wiling increased trade and COM
merce with all nations, TO avail
Itself Of the opportunity to share
in this Increase between this
country and other nations.
In addition to these material
advantages accruing alike to both
countries, there is a strong senti-
mental reason why we would be
especially pleased at German par
ticipation In this exposition. We
have among our best citizens
many Germans and descendants
OF Germans, who viii always en-
terrain affectionate feelings for
the Fatherland.
II would be gratifying to this
large class OF our citizens TO have
Germany take prominent place,
a place where she belongs, In this
great exposition and the celebra-
ton Of the completion of won
derful waterway through which
the ships of Germany In the flu
ture will pass.

this peculiar situation should ap-

for much that makes such an &C.
casion profitable and memorable.
They are master minds in the
control Of the machinery OF com
merce and stand in the front rank
Of the arts and sciences. I shall
be much disappointed il Germany
should officially decide not to be
