In loving memory of the late William
Fl, Horton, who departed this life one
year ago today, March 20, 1913. s
Just year ago we parted;
Joy was in his mild blue eye,
But the golden cord is severed
And our hopes in ruin lie.
The flowers we lay upon his grave
May wither and decay,
But fresh with love within our hearts
His memory will Away stay
HIS LOVING wIFT

Interior of Earth Seethes

ttnlleQ fTeSS LAY StTNlCet
Washington, Feb. 27-The interior
of the earth is hot, immensely hot, in
the opinion of Graove E. Gilbert. writ
ing today in bulletin on "Interpreta-
ton of Anomalies of Gravity" for the
United States geographical survey.
"The inner earth is the inalienable
playground of the imagination" he
said. "Once it contained the forges of
the blacksmith gods; or it was the
birthplace of our race, or the home or
prison of disembodied spirits. Later
Symmes followed from it vast hab-
liable empire, conclave like the world
of Koresh. Science now claims ex-
elusive title but holds it chiefly for
speculative purposes, and the freedom
of speculation recognized but two linn
itations; the inner earth is dense and
it is rigid. 1t is my own view that the
inner part of the nucleus is not merely
hot, but very hot"

Mrs. Richards, after which Mrs. Eyer
er gave an excellent talk on the re-
sponsibility of motherhood. She said
in part:
"My greatest happiness consists in
being a mother. 1t means much for
the good of humanity for mothers
to be content to remain at home and
give to their children the training
they need to become good and useful
citizens"

A BETTER DERRICK

Mr.. Farmer, in month from now

the time to get the necessary machin-
cry, such as hay derricks and hay
racks.
Before buying or ordering any kind
of derrick or stacker come and see
my swing derrick with the fitting
mast. Nothing like it in the coun-
try. You can move it over a 10-foot
bridge or through 10-foot gate
without the least trouble. 1t builds
higher and wider stacks with less
work than any other known derrick
or stacker.
