Miss Leona Lee HuCkIehefry

Again we are called to write in mem
DRY of one who has lived in our midst,
but now sleeps in the silent city of the
dead. 1t is of one who was young and
on whose cheek was no indication of
anything but perfect health of one
who was aspiring to great things in
this life and was making splendid
progress in her line of work, as a
teacher in the public schools of Louis.
lana. This was her third school to
teach and we are told that at each
place she taught successfully and
pleased the patrons because of her Sue
cess in developing their children in
book knowledge.
Miss Leona Lee HuCkleberry was
born at Sellersburg, Ind. March II, 1895
and met her death near Bogalusa, La.
November Il, 1914. by being thrown
from track motor car under the en-.
CINE of an incoming log-train. Thus
ended, instantly, the life here upon
earth of a splendid young woman; she
leaves a father, mother, two sisters,
one brother, several near relatives and
host of friends who mourn the loss of
one so useful as Miss Leona, but our
loss is surely her gain, for twas
whom she called lin counsel this past
summer in matters pertaining to the
church and her soul. After answering
her questions with reference to doc
trineS, rules and pollty of the Metho'
dist Church, she then told me her pur.
pose was to join the church, and on
June, IA, 1914, she took the baptismal
and membership vows and was ad.
mitted into full membership in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and thus
made her calling and election sure"
Thus you lived here among us and
now that you are gone we shall miss
you from our midst; but our thought
of you will be. that in heaven you have
found happy place at the SaYiour's

RAILROADS APPEAL
+. TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for
! Relief-President Wilson Di-
reefs Attention of Public to
( Their Needs.

l. 1QSlT NCeQS.
! The committee of railroad ex-
ecutives, headed by Mr.. Frank
Trumbull, representing thirty
Ave Of the leading railroad sys-
TENS of the nation, recently pre-
Sented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing
the difficulties now confronting
the railroads of the country and
asking for the cooperation of the
governmental authorities and the
public in supporting railroad
credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the
railroads be given additional rev.
enues.
The memorandum recites that
the European war has resulted in
general depression of business on
the American continent and in
the dislocation of credits at home
and abroad. With revenues de-
creasing and interest rates in
ereasing the transportation sys-
eems of the country face most
serious crisis and the metnoran-
dunn is strong presentation OF
The candle burning at both ends
and the perils that must ultimate
ly attend such confagration
when the flames meet is apparent
10 all. In their general discussion
the railroad representatives say
IN part: "By reason of legisla-
tion and regulation by the Fed
eral Government and the forty
eight states acting independently
of each other, as we'll as through
the action OF a strong public opin-
lon, railroad expenses in recent
years have vastly increased. No
criticism is here made of the gem
eral theory of governmental regu-
lation. but on the other hand, no
ingenuity can relieve the carriers
of expenses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmit
ting the memorandum of the rail
road presidents to the public,
characterizes it as "a lucid state
ment Of plain truth" The Pres
ident recognizing the emergency
as extraordinary, continuing, said
IN part:
"You ask me to call the atten-
ton of the country to the imper-
alive need that railway credits
be sustained and the railroads
helped in every possible way,
whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies
and | am glad to do so because
think the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and
the President is to be congratu-
lated for opening the gate to a
new world of effort in which
everyone may cooperate.
There are many important
problems in our complex civil
cation that will yield to co-opera-
ton which will not lend them.
