Young Neither Called.

Mrs. M. C. Robinson passed awav
Wednesday of last week at Mercy hos
pital, Dubuque. Her death drew forth
expressions of profound sorrow and
sympathy. A few months ago her life
was crowned with the unutterable jov
of motherhood's priceless crown, but
she emerged from the valley of the
shadow" only to be denied an oppor-
tunity to shower her love upon her
newly. born infant son. After brave
struggle to regain health through wea.
ry weeks of pain, and anguish she went
to that better land where is known
emo sorrow, nor day, nor night"
To the heart-broken young husband
and father the community offers the
most sincere coincidence. His devotion
and sacrifice AMI loyal attention was
most unseIfish and entire, and with his
tears are mingled the genuine grief of
our people, and the tender solicitude
for the motherless, infant son.
The funeral was held last week at
Cresco, and interment was made in the
Catholic Cemetery.
Nature sorro S when mother dies,
No sorrow is rs great as this
Beyond the Clouds beyond the skies
She dwells in Heavens bliss.

OBITUARY..
FOSS.

FOSS.
Mabel Luretta, second daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. Henry Foss, was born at
Dorchester, Iowa. Oct, Z, 1898. She
passed from this life to her home be-
yond at ten minutes of seven, Wednes-

teen years. four months and eighteen
days.
She leaves to mourn her loss low
ing father and mother, two sisters,
Hazel and Lillian besides a host of
relatives and friends. ..
The greater part of Mabel's life was
passed at Saratoga. where she has al
ways been closely identified with the
Sunday School. She graduated from
the country school and commenced at
tended High School at Cresco, Sept.
1st, where she continued until the last
of Dec. when her health failed. The
last few weeks brought much bodily
pain and suffering, but with patience
born of grace divine, it was uncom-
plainingly borne. All that skilled phys
iclans and loving friends could do avail
ed nothing. The legacy she leaves her
family and friends is the memory of
her cheerful ways, her loving dispo-
sition and her unselfshness.

To those who so kindly rendered as
sistance during the sickness and death
of our beloved Mabel, and to her

WANT $4,000 YEARLY.
Forestry Board Will Ask Legislation.
for Itasca Park.

The state forestry board, meeting
at the capitol Friday, adopted the
recommendation of William T. Cox,
state forester, and will ask the legis-
lature for an appropriation of $12,-
900 a year for Itasca Park. The
present appropriation is $4,000. Mr..
Cox said the money is needed to build
roads in the park, protect game and
for better fire protection. The board
went on record as. favoring a soil
survey by some organization not con-
nected with the forestry department.
State aid to stimulate planting OF
wood lots and tree planting also will:
be asked Of the legislature. "There
seems to be an impression in some
quarters" said Mr.. Cox, "that the
service has gone beyond it's proper
field of activity to further the cause
of forest amendments. AS matter
of fact, the forest service has taken
advantage of favorable opportunity
to carry on it's educational work at

association was boosting for Amend

london, Doc. 21.-The coordination
of military movements in the eastern
and western theaters, which has been
observed since the beginning of the
war, is now shown in striking way
in the offensive movement of the al
lies in Flanders and Northern France,
where they are keeping the Germans
engaged and preventing them from

eastern area of war. The allies de-
clare they have gained in Flanders
and France during the past few days,
asserting their advances counterbal-
ance German advances in Poland.
Progress of the allies in the vicinity
of La Bassee, where the Germans had
clung tenaciously to their positions
for 80 many weeks, Is regarded in
London as particularly noteworthy,
as the German spearpoint in La Bas-
see region had presented an irritating
problem. The advance of the allies
thus far has been slow, but British
military critics expect it to gain i'm
