way was not brought to Fowler
as was announced last week.
There was a misunderstanding
some way as to funeral plans.
The body was taken to Indiana
where the deceased's father and
mother we're buried. Some time
before Mr.. Galway's death he
wrote to Mr.. Waters and Mr..
Way of Wilburn telling them of
his condition and that there was
not much show for him to get
well and he gave them instruct
ions regarding the funeral ar
rangements in case of his death.
He named his pail bearers and
told what part of the Fowler
cemetery he wanted his body
lain, The people had no more
word until they received tele-
gram announcing his death.
They supposed the plans would
be carried out as they had been
made known. Mr.. Way waited
until last Thursday and then
telegraphed to know what was
wrong. A reply came back stat
ing that the body had been taken
to Indiana. Fowler Gazette.

Motor Car License

Topeka, Dec. 26.-It doesn't
cost but $3.50 to get motor car
license after next week. Charles
Sessions, secretary of state, is
sending notices out of the county
treasurers today that after jan
uary l they need collect only
$3.50 for each motor car license
until next June when the price
goes up to FIVE dollars again.
Under the mpr car license
law the license year runs from
July / to June 80 and the license
fee is fiYe dollars year. But
provision was made that there
could be a reduction in the price
for the licenses and tags after
one-half the year had passed.
All those who get motor cars
for Christmas presents will have
to pay five dollars for their tags,
unless they wait until after the
first of the year. And if they
wait there is possibility of
being "pinched" for operating
car without a license.
The same rule for the reduced
price of the license tags applies
to motorcycles and those who
buy pop-pops after January / are
to pay only one dollar for the
license and tag until July / wher
they must obtain new tags and
licenses and the new, ones will
cost two dollars.
The motor car business ha.
been very slack for the last tev
weeks and it probably will re
main poor until spring opens up
During the fall there was mucl
trading of old cars for new one
and many people bought ney
cars because many agents wer
offering inducements in the wa
of reduced prices or additions

business going and get the ne,

stored IN the state house before
July so that on that date The
tags can be sent out for all ap
plicants who have paid the fees
before that date. The licenses
will all be written and everything
ready to go out the day the new
tags are in effect. The tags
next year will be the same size
and shape as those used this
year but there will be different
color and possibly the figures
1914 may be stamped on the tags.

was delight to the committee who
had arranged the program. The
committee and those who took part
deserve much credit for the way the
performers we're trained.
The Good Fellows of the League
and Sunday School delivered pres
ents and Christmas dinners to about
forty boys and girls, who were de-
lighted with the gifts and it is need
less to say that they will keep up
this practice for the years to come.
The Boy Scouts enjoyed couple
of hikes during their vacation and
fine bunch of boys they are. They
are receiving invotations to take
part in the different entertainments
of the town. We want all the boys
out to each meeting in order that we
will be able to show the folks what
we can do.
All any normal boy of this land
wants is a chance aad he will make
good and all we ask is that we have
the support of the older folks and we
will be help to our town to make
it what it ought to be in the years to
come.
There were twenty more people
out to Sunday School last Sunday
than there was a year ago but this
might not indicate an increase of in
terest as last year might have had a
stormy Sunday. We are hoping to
make the attendance much larger
the coming year. If you are one
that ought to attend, why not begin
the first of the year and keep it up
all the year9
The College Gospel Team is with
us this week and they had packed
house on Sunday evening and the
outlook for the week is that they
will have good audiences. Their
talks Sunday evening on "Why am
Christian" reached into ones soul.
We want every man, woman and
child in this community to hear
these men during the week. These
meetings are being held to reach
men and get them to seek God and
not to make Methodist of them
but to get the heart right and then
60 to work where they can do the
most good. This to us seems to be
one of the fine features of the Meth
odist people. "They can say seek
God and get right at heart and then
choose your church home" We do
not know of more fair proposition
or a broader vision of real Christ
ianity. Come to these meetings you
are welcome.
Below we print A Morning Resolve
by Bishop Vincent. We hope our
people will make this practice dur
ing each day of the coming New
Year. 81 will this day try to live
simple, serene and sincere life; re-
pelling promptly every thought of
discomfort, anxiety, encouragement
lmpurity and selfseeklng; cultivating
cheerfulness, magnauimity, charity
and the habit of holy silence; ex-
ercising economy in expenditure,
carefulness in conversation, diligence
in appointed service, fidelity to ev-
cry trust, and a child-like trust in
God. And as l cannot in my own
strength attain this means of wisdom
and power, make humble and firm
resolve to seek all these things from
my Heavenly Father, in the name
of His Son Jesus Christ, and through
the mystic and mighty energy of
His Holy Spirit.
This Church welcomes strangers.
