Emily Stuart Lawrence, sabetha, Kansas.
There are friends whom our hearts hold
most dear;
There are voices that JOIN. Heavens chorus to
That once charmed with their melody, here.
There are loved ones who gather around the
With the hosts that the Savior adore.
Whose lives were SO closely entwined with our
That they left us bereft evermore.
There are fathers and mothers, whose wonder
Made life Oh, so sweet loag ago.
There are brothers most dear, in those man
And sisters twas Heaven to know.
There are dear little forms that went out from
And left them to ache evermore
For one warm loving clasp, such as granted
The pain from the heart, sick and sore.
There are husbands and wives who left sorrow
In the homes they had gladden. for years.
There are dea- ones whose courage no hard
ships could quell,
Who never struck colors to fears.
There are friends. lend only friends with no blood
Us close through life's smiles and It's tears,
But tried, true and faithful, more precious
than gold
They are ours through Eternity's years.
Deaths gate closed behind some of them long
And some have but lately passed through;
Some long have rej1iced Heavens glories
70 know;
To some, all these glorles are new.
Some friends in moment were hurried away
By the Storm Kings terrible breath,
And some, through long years OF suffering lay,
And went willingly, gladly with DEATH
Some went when Life's morning was bright
That Hope shed o'er the years yet TO be.
And some tarried long, till the burden of days
Grew heavy, ere they were set free.
God lent these dear friends, to be here for a
time.
To brighten and gladden. our way;.
But they left us to go to SUMMER CLINE,
And long, oh, so long, is their stay.
Oh, It's meet that day of remembrance We
Each year, as the years hurry by,
For those we have laid In the church'yard to
And for all who there quietly lie.
'Tis meet by each mound to plant flowers to
Through the long summer days. ana to fill
The air with the sweetest, most precious per.
That nature and love can distil.
1t is meet that we gather with beautiful flowers
On their low resting places TO lay;
That we sscredly keep for these loved ones
of ours,
Year by year. Memory Day"
A day to recall many pleasures we knew,
In the days, or the years OF their stay;
To think OF their lives, ever faithful and true,
. comforting Memory Day"
A day to read gladly, while Memory turns
Leaf bv leaf her own book, and to say,
ITO hor or our dead, while the lamp OF life
burns,
We will keep Memory Day.
Let us meet then. ere Winters first token
appears,
While Autumn still holds her mild sway
And ever. through each OF the oncoming years,
Keep, as sacred, this Memory Day."
Let US thank God for each dear life we have
known.
And that, in the land far away,
When our life.work is done, we shall find all
our own,
And hold one long Memory Day."
There the sweetest OF all TO remember, will be.
The plan OF salvation for aye,
And the wonderful love that has brought US
to see
Heavens long blessed Memory Day."

TRUNK LINE SETTLED
State Highway Commissioner Selects
East Road North to Saginaw
County.

State Highway Commissioner Rogers
met with the County Road Commits.
sioners Wednesday, and definitely set
tied the line of the trunk road running
north from this city, selecting the east
road running north on Shiawassee street
to the town line road between Rush and
New Hayen townships, and then due
north to the Saginaw county line. The
county commissioners at the meeting
decided to recommend to the board of
supervisors that a county road be built
from Henderson east one mile to con-
meet with the trunk road, solution of
the entire question satisfactory to prac.
iically every one who has taken an in.
terest in the friendly controversy. The
state will have to construct new
bridge over the Shiawassee for this
road on the town line near the McAvoy
farm.
In this connection the Owosso I'm
provement Association at the Tuesday
luncheon went on record as favoring
the expenditure during the coming year
of at least fifty per cent of the money
which the supervisors may decide to
raise for the building of the trunk lines
through the coanty. This good sug-
gestion and should be carried out, with
the trunk lines built it will be a COM
paratively easy matter to build county
roads to connect with the same and in
the course of three or four years much
can be accomplished toward providing
first. class roads leading to the several
business centers of the county.
To hurry forward the construction of
the trunk lines it has been suggested
that short time issue of county bonds
could be provided, thus making it pos
sible to raise yearly sum about equal
to the levy of last year for the county
roads. If there are no legal obstacles
and this plan could be adopted good
roads for a large share of the county
would be assured much quicker.

Advertise Now.

just now the large mail order
houses are sending their catalogs
into the country districts by the
hundreds of thousands. Adver-
tising always pays when it is
judiciously done. The season Of
buying soon will be on and the
catalog houses are wisely doing
their advertising precisely at the
psychological moment to get the
maximum returns.
Chicago mail order houses
alone will have sent out before
September 1, fully 5000 tons OF
catalogs. Merely to offset this
stupendous publicity campaign
the local retailers of the country
must expend liberal sums for ad-
vertising in their local papecs
and in other ways. They really
can get the business that belongs
to them at a smaller expenditure
for advertising than can the mail
order houses. But to do so they
must begin in season and keep
everlastingly at it. What will
happen to them if they do not is
suggested by the fact that the
1918 sales of one Chicago mail
order house are estimated at
800, 900, 900, an increase of about
$13, 600 over it's sales in 1911.
Energy expended by the local re-
taller in any other way than in
advertising and improving the
service he gives his community
is unlikely to pay as good returns
as those two methods. ds.-Ameri-

circuit Court.

The case of Mrs. Dora Packingham
against the Eastern Michigan Power
Co., ct al, was put over the term in the
circuit court Saturday, when the attor-
ney for the plaintiff asked permission
to amend the declaration as the alle-
cations in it did not correspond to the
testimony given. The change will be
that Packingham came to his death by
receiving an electric shock when he
came in contact with a fellow EN-.
ployee who had hold of scantling that
was touching a cable. 1t is stated that
the defense in the case will be that the
shock was not strong enough to have
caused death, but that Packinghsm
threw back his head when slightly
shocked and a quid of tobacco lodged in
his throat choking him to death.
The case of William Britton VS. Ed

TIGERS BAT OUT
TRIPLE VICTORY
Eddie Zimmerman's BarnstOrm.
ers Now Down Rivals in
Three Contests.
MAPLE A. c. WHITEWASHED

The Newark transformers captured
three games yesterday and Saturday,
winning two on the Sabbath and one
on Saturday. They met the Maple
A. C., in Kearney yesterday morning
and humbled the West Hudson ag-
gregation to the tune of 10 to 0. At
Columbia oval, in the afternoon, Ed
die Zimmerman's transformers trim
med the Forest Hill A. c., to the
tune of 16 to IL. The afternoon game
would have been much closer had
the teams backed their pitchers in
good fashion.
Tigers defeated a team picked from
the Elizabeth Singer League, by the
score of to 2. Al Shack did the iron
man trick. After working for the
Franklin Sussex County League Club
against Warwick on Saturday, losing
by score of 3 to 2, he shut out the
Naples yesterday morning AL en-
deavored to slow up the Forest Hills,
but after going five innings, found
the task a difficult one. Shack was
driven from the box in the afternoon
and was relieved in favor of Schmidt,
a local semi-pro. Billy Morgenroth
worked the Saturday game for the
Tigers.
Les Whelan pitched for the Forest
Hill club and did well until the fifth
inning, when hits coupled with d.
sastrous fielding on the part of Davis
the second baseman. enabled the
Tigers to pile up six runs.

BENDER AND PLANK
ARE MACK'S HOPES
Brunt of Battle Must Fall on
Broad Shoulders of
These Two.
BUSH is LIKELY TO SHINE

"Chief" Charles F. Bender, Edward
Gettysburg Plank. Joseph Bush,
Carroll Brown and Robert Shawkey,
these are the pitchers who bore the
brunt of the battle for the Athletics
during the American League cam
paign of 1913. They are the fingers
whom Philadelphia must depend on
to capture the worlds blue ribbon
event
1t must be admitted that this staff
does not look as good as the Giants
twirling corps. McGraw's youngsters
are veterans in comparison with
Mack's fledglings, and Mack's veter-
ans are older than McGraw's vets.
Chief Bender is the twirler to whom
the Quaker City fans are looking to
perform the hero role. This win be
the fourth worlds series in which the
chief has figured-his third against
New York The redskin ally of the
Mack schol outpitched Mathewson
in the post-season series of 1911, even
though Mathewson wrested the first
battle away from the Mackmen.
1t will be remembered that this
proved a costly victory for Big Six.
He had to work so hard for victory
that he was compelled to rely on his
curve ball almost constantly, and it
was predicted after that first days
that he would not come through with
another victory. Again last year
Mathewson's defense was ragged and
wretched, but he did not exert him
self as much as the year before in
his effort to win one game. He had
learned his lesson, and he improved
as the series went on, instead of de-
teriorating.
1t Is almost certain that Bender and
Mathewson will be the twirlers in
the first game Mathewson has the
harder test, for he faces a better hit
ting combination than his red-skinned
rival.
Eddie Plank and RUDE Marquard
are likely to hook up in the second
days battle. a tussle OF southpaws,
If that takes place, the RUDE will
pitch his first game away from home,
but McGraw figures out that the
RUDE beat the Red Sox at Boston
last year. and is no longer afraid of
strange crowds.
The other twirlers on the Philadel-
phia team most likely to draw the
honor of starting a game are Bush,
Brown and Shawkey. in the order
named There is also a possibility
that Houck may get into the fray,
but it is figured out that Bender and
Plank must stand the brunt of the
battle

feated Pittsburgh and finished an
excellent third. Pittsburgh was a
disappointment, coming under the
