Obituary.
DONALD SIMPSON HAHN.

Donald Simpson Hahn, son of John b.
and Myra Ellen Hahn, was born at Ed
gerton, Wis, Jan. 9, 1897. Died at
Oak Park, ILL.,, June Is, 1914, aged II
years, months and days.
Together with his parents and family
Donald moved from Edgerton, Wis. to
Forest Park, H., about three and a
half years ago. On Oct. 26, 1911, the
family came to haywood where they
have since resided at 518 N. 4th Ave.
Donald was educated in the public
schools at Edgerton and haywood. He
was never strong boy physically, but
was very active and energetic beyond
his strength. He was full of life and
fun. He was great favorite among
the boys and will be sadly missed by
his many young friends and associates.
Donald was of a mechanical turn of
mind and was an enthusiastic reader OF
popular Mechanics" aud kindred mag
azines. He was particularly fond Of
electrical engineering and was just be-
ginning to plan his career in this field
of activity.
Donald was for some time member
of the Boy Scouts of Forest Park and
later of haywood. He also attended
the various Sunday schools of May
wood.
Donald was a very affectionate boy
and, with the true Scout spirit, was
never so happy as when doing some
thing for his father or mother or for
some other member of the family.
On the Friday before Decoration day
he went to GAINESVILLE, Wis, where he
stayed all night with his brother, going
on to Edgerton the next day, where he
expected to enjoy short vacation with
the rest of the family. However, on
the way to Edgerton he was taken i'll
and on Sunday evening, accompanied
by his little sister Esther, he returned
to his home in haywood. The next
day, Monday, he was taken to the new
West Suburban hospital of Austin,
where he was operated on for appendi-
citis. After nearly two weeks suffer-
ing, in which he made brave fight for
life, he died in great peace.
A few hours before death, at his re-
quest, he was baptized, together with
his little sister Esther by Rev. B. H.
Fleming, pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church of haywood. He as
sured his pastor that it was all right
and when apprised of the fact that he
had but short time to live, he bravely
said that he was not afraid to die. To
his mother he said little later: 'tMa-
ma, have been praying for you and
papa, for my brothers and sisters and
all, and God is right here with me. "
He said he never expected to live to
get back home again, but he has gone
to the Beautiful Home on High
where he awaits the coming of the rest
of the family.
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath
taken away. Blessed be the name of
the Lord.

CLOVER CROP IS A MINT
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT FOR AN
EXCEPTIONALLY HEAVY YIELD
GOOD SEED IN DEMAND.

H. o. White;-of firm Of D. A. White
& Sons, has just returned from q trip
inspecting the crops, of Polk and Yam
hill counties, covering the country from
McMinnville to Sheridan and the indie
pendence and Dallas districts. He re-
ports the crops the finest he ever saw,
and he has been over this part of the
valley many times. All grain is in first
class shape, and under proper weather
conditions will make the largest crop
in recent years.
Mr.. White, who is an authority on
the growing of clover, was especially
interested in the clover crop and re-
ports that it came through the winter
in first-class shape and stands very
heavy.
"Farmers were busy clipping it back
for seed crop, and the valley promises
the largest clover seed crop in its his
tory" said he.
"With q fair price, this crop should
bring in at least two million dollars this
season, besides the great benefit to the
land from growing clover, as it always
means extra large crops of grain the
following year.
"The farmers of this part of the val
ley are taking great care to produce
fancy seed, and many go over their
fields and pull out the weeds by hand
in order to insure their seed being
clean.
"Oregon clover seed has the reputa-
tion of being the highest grade seed
! grown in the United States, and the
farmers are doing their best to keep up
the reputation by producing the fanei-
est seed possible.
Zone farmer stated that he had over
1000 bushels of seed last season, and
that it brought him about $40 per bu-
shel, and he is certainly great friend
of clover as paying crop.
"While many held their seed and did
not obtain suchia govd price, there has
been good demand for all the seed
and those who still have it on hand
have had numerous chances to move il
at good prices that would have paid
them large profits if they had sold at
the right time, rather than speculate
on their crop.
Glover is bound to be paying crop
here, and if the farmers will select
their seed and only sow the very best
they will find it very profitable to
grow. OF course, those that persist in
seeding with the screenings will have
hard work in selling their seed, as in
these days of pure seed laws, only the
good seed is in demand. h"

lists were in full possession of SaltilIo
today. There was some skirmishing
even after the federals' main body
evacuated the city but today it was all
over. General Pablo Robles of General
Villas force occupied the central plaza
at noon Friday.
Before leaving, the federals dyna-
mited and burned the casino, theatre,
cathedral and most important business
and public buildings. They left behind
them, however, quantities of artillery,
ammunition and other military supplies,
which the rebels seized at once. They
were badly needed for the continuation
Of the constitutionalist campaign.

REBELS TO MEET HUERTA
ONLY ON BATTLEFIELD
oonstitutionalists Will Not Go to Nj
agara Falls While Huertistas Are
There, Says Vasconcelas.

Now York. May 23.-If Jose Vascon.
celos views are fairly representative
of the Mexican rebels, 1t did not look
much today as if the eonstitutionalists
would be represented at tho Niagara
Falls mediation negotiations.
Vasconcelos has been on financial
mission for General Carranza to Mon
treal. When the report gained currency
that the constitutionalist leader might
send an envoy to Niagara it was init
mated that Vaseoncelos probably would
be chosen. Today he was here.
The only place for General Car
rama or his representatives to meet
General Huerta or his representa-
tives," he said, when questioned con
corning the mediation proposition, "is
on tho battle field. SO long as tho
Huertistas are at Niagara Falls the
constitutionalists will not go there"
