Close of a Beautiful Life.

Our beloved brother. William
Emmett Louis, has gone to his
reward. Brother Louis was born
May 21st, 1879, and died of
Bright's disease, Friday, Septem-
Der 18th, 1914, at 4::3O o'clock in
| the afternoon. He is survived
by his wife and little daughter,
Louise, also by one brother,
James Louis, of Utah, and his
mother. Mrs. |. A. Willen, this
county.
On December 2, 1905, he mar
ried Miss Hattie E. Lollar, whom
he had the misfortune to lose in
death the following spring. Then
in December. 1911, he married
Miss Mallie Granville Murray,
who is now his window.
Many beautiful traits of char
acter were displayed by this
good mans life. Thrown early
upon his own resources he was
ever industrious, dependable,
cheerful and worthy. For some
time he taught in the local schools
then took up commercial pur.
suits always showing that he
was above the average intellect
in anything he undertook.
And, although death ind or any
condition is necessarily sad, it is
a rich legacy left US, who love
him so we'll and appreciate him
so much, that he looked upon
life as a preparation for eternity
and that death was regarded as
the commencement of a superior
existence and superlative happi-
ness.
1t makes us glad in our grief
to have known him as devout
Christian and to be able to bear
witness that he remembered his
Creator in the days of bis youth
and was prepared to meet his
God.
We can not bring him back.
We can go to him. 1t was not
our brothers wish that we should
mourn over his return to his
Father. He wants us to be USE
full, happy, and good, and
"We know that each tomorrow can't
be sad,
So forgetting all the sorrow We have
had.
Let US told away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
just be glad"

RAISE SEED POTATOES
SUREST MEANS OF DEVELOPING
HIGH-GRADE rUBERS.
Uniformity of Size and Shape Should
Receive More Attention-There Is
Increasing Demand for Fancy
Table Stock.
(By WILLIAM STUART.)

The superiority of immature over
mature tubers for seed purposes is
not as yet recognized by the American
potato grower. The European grow.
ers, on the other hand, have long real
lied that, other things being equal,
larger crops can be produced from
immature seed than from mature seed.
Uniformity of size and shape is a
quality which should receive more
thought, and strains of potatoes giving
the greatest yield of fair-sized, shapely
tubers should be cultivated. 1t is par
ticularly important at present that
such strains be developed, because
there is an increasing demand for
fancy table stock to satisfy the re-
quirements of large and discriminate
ing class of consumers who are insist
ing on greater uniformity in size and
shape and are willing to pay more for
such potatoes.
The simplest and surest means Of
developing high-grade seed potatoes
is that of the tuber-unit and hill-selec-
ton methods. The tuber-unit method
consists in selecting from the seed bin
number Of the most perfectly
shaped tUbers of from six to eight
ounces in weight. When planted these
are quartered, as dropped, into four
equal parts This is done by splitting
the bud-eye cluster in each direction
from seed to stem end. In other words
the tuber is cut lengthwise. All tu'

CUSTOMER GOT "SHAMPOO''
Fair Manicurist Was Not Letting Any
Money Get Away, and Rose to
the Occasion.

A widely-known member of congress
who, on occasions, is more bibulous
than he would care to have his con-
stituents know about, wondered uE-
steadily into a popular Washington
manicuring parlOr one morning un-
covered his fevered head, and de-
manded a shampoo. The presiding
Venus of the place looked nonplussed
for a moment; then, with her best
company smile, babe him he seated
in a spindle-legged chair that groaned
a protest against the legislators two
hundred pounds. A girl friend of the
manicurist's, seated in a corner Of the
room, watched the proceedings with
interest.
The fair operative next wound a
towel around the neck of her patron,
and allowed the contents of brown
bottle to trickle from the bald spot
on the top of his head to the sparse
growth Of hair that bounded it on
three sides.

II guess there is some tar in it, :"
she confessed. "It's the very latest
preparation from Paris; good for a
cold in the head, too, which you seem
to have"
The girl continued to rub for ten
minutes after which she lathered the
congressman's pate with soap and
soused his head under the spigot at
the washstand.
"Best shampoo ever had" he re-
marked, passing her two dollars.
When he had gone, the manicurist
calmly poured out a spoonful Of the
shampoo lotion and drank it.
What in the world are you doing?"
cried her friend.
Taking cough syrup. Why?"
"But you used it on that mans
head!Y
