made suitable reply, declaring that he
had tried to do his duty and that he
never expected or desired compensa-
ton; but that he deeply appreciated
the kindly recognition and approval
Of his sneighbors and associates in the
company.

nah, Ireland, August LIST, 1887, came
to America in the spring of 1865 and
settled in Clinton County, Missouri
near Pittsburgh, where she was
married to John O'Day on the 18th Of
February, 1867. To this union three
children were born: Edward, John
H., and Thomas A., all of whom sur
vive her. In October, 1884, they
came to Bates County and settled on
the farm where they have since resid-
ed. Her husband preceded her to
the grave by about IS years. She
was the last surviving member Of q
large family Of brothers and sisters
who have gone before. Hers was a
life of yice-loving service to those
who were neaf to her by the tie
that binds" Not all Of her pathway
was lined with roses. the thorns oft
times sorely grieving her, yet new
er knew more patient and uncom-
planning spirit in the inevitable trials
that mortals are heir to. She was
brought up in the Catholic faith and
that she was true to the religion of
her fathers was most beautifully dem
onstrated in her desire to have a
Catholic priest administer the last sad
rites Of the church before her death
which was complied with. The
funeral services were conducted at
the home by Rev. Edward Walton of
Liberty, NO., a nephew of the de.
ceased, and pastor Of the Catholic
church at his home, who touched up.
on the tenets and virtues Of the Cath
ole religion in very forceful and
pleasing manner, a sermon, l doubt
not, was listened to with as much
minuteness as ever fell from lips of a
preacher, not only on account of its
tender references to the departed and
it's plain and positive teachings, but
because it was an innovation to this
community, many Of us never hear
ing Catholic preach before, and,
much to the surprise Of many, could
find no cause for criticism and in its
stead gave commentator. Burial
was made at Crescent Hill cemetery,
near Adrian, where large concourse
Of friends and neiohbors gathered to
pay their last respects.

the Christ who had conquered death

the inevitable and serenely passed

Death came vi ia minutes before

the home conducted by Rev. Smith of
Dayton and interment at the Norris
cemetery near Urich, Mo.
This was one Of the greatest shocks
our community has ever sustained,
coming as it did to Noble in the very
flush Of young manhood, having mar
ried nearly two years ago, and just
beginning that home building which
means SO much to the family and the
community at large, and then called
away, leaving to mourn his loss a
dear wife, father, mother and one
sister and a host of loving friends.
makes it almost impossible to believe
in the reality Of our loss.

GOVERNOR HAnNA,s RECORD

On March u. 1913. Governor
Hanna vetoed the tax commission
bill. The tax commission had
begun to make trouble for the
railroads. for the big foreign ma
chinery corporations. for Ger
tain favored banking interests.
with all of which Governor Han
ma was closely associated. At
their request he went the limit
with his powers as governor to
destroy the tax commission.
Were it not for the fact that the
supreme court held valid a pre-
vious law. he would have been
successful. Note what Governor
Hanna would have ACCOMPLISHED
in The interests of his wealthy as
sociates had his veto been final.
Over three million dollars worth
of untaxed personal property on
our Indian reservation would not
have. been placed upon the tax
list by the tax commission as it
is today. Over five million dollars

tricts and send them to the near
est city at rates equal to or below
those of the parcel post. The
supplies are unloaded at the en-
press offices and dealers can
come and buy or housewives may
get them, and the net proceeds
are RENTED to the producers.
The company is prepared to fill
regular orders for customers and
has planned to carry the business
to length not as yet contemplate
ed by the postotfice department.
We see no reason why the in
novation should not be good
thing for all concerned. The new
business ought to more than Off
set the loss of business the par
eel post entailed: it simplifies the
marketing problem for the pro-
ducers. and it ought to result in
a substantial saving to the con-
sumers. 1t is a much more
sensible and admirable way for
the express companies to fight
the encroachments of the parcel
post than the old method of lob
bying and pulling Congressional
wires to kill or restrict the gov
eminent system. The old plan
was foredoomed to failure, but
the new one will have the hearty
approval and cooperation Of the
public.

NEARING THE END

The national Democratic leRlS-
lature program took another step
toward the goal of accomplish
ment last week when the House
of Representatives passed all
three bills bearing on trusts and
mOnopolies. These are the Cow
ington interstate trade commits
sion bill. the Clayton omnibus
antitrust measures and the rail-
way securities bill. The measures
are now in the hands of the Sen
ate for consideration Amendment
of some or all of these bills in
the Senate is extremely likely and
perhaps desirable. but that they
will become laws with little
change in their essential features
is not doubted. Their final pass
age will mark the contamination
of the legislative plans of the
Administration for this session
OF Congress.

kNuDsoN FOR GOVERNOR

The impression Is beng Gre
ated by the friends of Mr.. He'll
strom that Mr.. Knudson was
forced into the race by faction
Of the Democratic party and that
he is not a bona fide candidate
f:r governor. There is absolute
ly no truth in this statement.
To settle the matter with all
Times readers regarding the fact
that Mr.. Knudson is a boLa tide
candidate for Governor here is
what he says himself on the sub
iect:
"Only ingratitude could pre-
vent appreciation of the efforts
of my friends in urging my name
for the governorshin of our
great commonwealth. 1t is very
worthy aspiration to seek to serve
the public in an official capacity.
On June oath the Democrats of
North Dakota will have an Op-
portunity to express themselves
as to whether or not they want
me for their standard bearer IN
the fall campaign. In the event
of my nomination. l would not
only consider it rare privilege,
but a duty to do everything in my
Eower to help the rank and file OF
the Democratic party realize their
ambition on Nov. 3rd."
Mr.. Knudson is eminently fit
ted for the office of Governor and
is unauestionably the strongest
candidate of the two we have be-
fore the people. A vote for Knud-
son next Wednesday will be q
vote for mighty good man.

worth of leased railroad sites
would not have been placed upon
our tax list by the tax commits
sion as it is being placed upon it
today. BY the end of its first two
years of existence. over thirty
six million dollars worth of un-
taxed property has been brought
to light by the tax commission.
Practically all of it belongs to
the wealthy corporate interests
back of Governor Hanna. The
revenue from this will amount to
over a half million dollars per
year. yet the head of our social
ed business administration did
all in his power to prevent the
people Of the state from obtain
ing this revenue. Let the people
remember these things when they
hear a business administration
talked to them.

PARCEL POST COMPETITION

Nobody wants to put the eX-
press companies out of business
The public will be very much
pleased if they continue in exist
ence as competitors Of the parcel
post, rendering adequate public
service at reasonable rates. There
are many avenues for business
still open to the express compa-
MES that they can handle to bet
ter advantage than the govern
ment can. and it is refreshing to
see that at least one company has
awakened to the possibilities and
started to develop what ought to
be a profitable new field of ac-
tivity.
The Adams Express Company
has organized an "Order and
Food Products Bureau" and in
the collection and distribution of
farm products is already proving
a strong competitor of the par
cele post. It's agents in the cities
where the system is underway

BUMPER CROPS

The June crop report of the
Department of Agriculture makes
mighty interesting summer read
ing. 1t bears a message of good
cheer to everybody. for it brings
the promise of abundant har-
vests: and that spells prosperity
for the merchant. manufacturer
and workingman. the butcher,
baker and candlestick maker, as
we'll as the tiller of the soil.
According to the June crop re-
port. 9OO.OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat-almost half of the aver
age worlds wheat production. and
new record for the United
States-is the prospective total
yield Of the farms of the country
this year. This enormous crop
will be 137.OOO.OOO bushels more
than was ever grown before in
the United States in any one year.
There also will be large yields of
oats and barley. probably second
in size in the United States his
tory. with a good gain in rye and
hay.
The corn crop of course is
still very uncertain quantity,
but if it proves anything like the
other cereals the horn of plenty
will be OVERLOOKING and the rail
way companies may find their re-
sources severely taxed to handle
the transportation of the i'm
menSe crops.
One of the most gratifying
things about the crop situation
is the fact that the new currency
law will provide every financial
facility for moving the crop
The tightness of money in the
west and south. the great aori-
cultural sections of the country,
such as handicapped the produc-
ers in previous years. will be met

ed will he provided in these sec
tlons by. the new federal reserve
system, instead of being piled up
