passing notice in the papers of
the county of which he was so
long an honored citizen. He was
born in Hawkins county, Ten
nessee on the second day Of
July 1925, and with his parents
came to Lafayette county in
1888. His father, Major Arthur
G. Young, belonged to the hardy
pioneer stock which built up our
great commonwealth in the midst
of the wilderness. He reared a
large family and lived on the
farm settled in that early day
until past the age of ninety
years. He gave to his sons
farms around him, and the
subject of this sketch resided on
his from the time of his mar
riage in 1916 to the date of
his death February s, 1914, a
period Of ~sixty-eight years. His
wife was Permelia A. Landlord,
a native of this county and the
daughter of another pioneer.
When they were married, he was
not yet twenty-one and his
bride scarcely eighteen years
old. They built their modest
little home, and for more than
sixty-five years they walked
life's pathway together, loving,
faithful husband and wife, good,
sensible parents, kind and hos
pitable neighbors. More than
two years since Mrs. Young was
called to the mansions above and

"W0uId 10 God your work had started
fifty years ago, was the comment Of
an Arizona consumptive In writing the
other day to DR.. Hoyt Z. Dearholt, ex-
eCutive secretary Of the Wisconsin
Anti tuberculosis association. Part Of
the letter follows:
Fine work, old chap! That decrease
in the death rate seems a remarkable
gain to me. | had not expected results
as soon as that, | have always laughed
at the authorities who claimed that In
ten years a case of tuberculosis would
be as rare as one Of smallpox is today.

at your, wonderful progress. | trust the
errors in statistics. If any. are all in
your favor. You inspire ne Would to
God your work had started fifty years

The letter contained a check for Red
Cross Seals, from the sale Of which the
entire support Of the Wisconsin work
is derived. Every seal you buy is a bull,

The September fire loss In the
United States and Canada aggregated
$l4 ,383,050, which was three millions
and a half lower than for the CORE
spending month OF last year. The
total for the first nine months OF 1914
was sits FOG, $50, compared with $17S.-
456,550 for the corresponding period
Of 1913 and SIT, 529, $50 for the first
nine months of 1912. The falling off
Is too slight to afford any guarantee

The cost TO Europe Of the Napoleon
&c vars in l&06-l506, according to Ma,
poleon's budgets, averaged about
eighty.three million dollars a year.
The net cost Of 22 years fighting
against Napoleon cost England some
four billion dollars. England could
easily spend that now within two
years, says Springfield Republican.
The comparisons are suggestive, not
scientific, because the wealth Of those
countries Is today SO much greater
than 100 years ago. But with the
much greater facilities in these days
for the swift mobilization Of a. coun-
try's economic strength for war, as
we'll as Its military strength, the. cost
OF campaigns has been enormously In.
creased relatively as well as abso-
lutely. Exhaustion, therefore, must
come sooner by far than In former

LITTLE STORY or esEosorE.

You have seen a stream that 10
bordered by a gas plant, its shores
b~lackened with coal tar. its waters
polluted with wastes. That stream
ia ugly and repulsiYe and ill~smelling
and barren Of life because the gas
plant throws away what 1t should save.
Germany, instead Of treating coal TAR
az a nuisance and a thing 10 get rid
Of, ever at the cost OF p~0llutiug the
streams, saves It carefully and from
1t obtains a thousand useful products.
Among them Is ~creosote, 500 900 900
gallons OF which she sells to the
United States as a timber preBerva-
tive The country which wastes It's
resources is the eager customer OF
the one which conserves its resources.
From Texas comes the cry that plants
which treat bridge timbers and cross
ties with creos0tc will have TO shut
down because Of the lack Of the pre-
serving material The war is a wall
between the thrifty German manufac-
and their market in the coun-
OF unthrtft. The gas makers and
the coke makers can 60 on wasting a
by-product and the wood pre-.
serving plants can stay closed. Or
