Bereft Of Daughter

Ruth Evelyn, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Vern Conner, was born August
%, 1912, and died at her home ear
GassleWood, August 20, 1914, aged
two years and six days.
II is said that death loves a shining
mark and in this case, as In many
others, 1t seems to be true. Little
Ruth was a lovely child, the sun
shine of her home, dearly loved by
her parents. In the loss OF this prec-
ious treasure the parents have the
deep sympathy OF friends and neigh
bors who can only hope that He who
gathered little children in His arms
has taken this one to that heavenly
home and that which has been lost
from the earthly treasury may he
found safely and securely kept in that
heavenly treasury where changes and
sorrow never come. The mind Is de-
pressed with the thought of hopes
blighted and possibilities unfulfilied
and yet would we say OF this little
child that she is not dead but rather
Christ hath taken her.
They have taken our little treasure
And a vacant place is left
That can never be filed again
When our dear child is laid at rest.
Our Lord saw fit to take her
To that home so full of love;
Ills the little lambs he calleth
To that mansion fair above.

Of THINE Enemy Hunger

In the older portion of the Bible,
says "Sharpshooter" in the CONNER
cial West, YOU will find among GER
the following. "A soft answer turn
eth away wrath" And in the more
recent portion you will find this ad-
vice: IF thine enemy hunger, give
him bread; if he thirst, give him
drink. For in so doing thou shalt
heap Goals of fire on his head" These
sayings are 1000 or more years old,
and yet it is doubtful if the practical
application of their philosophy has
failed once in all that ime. If you
doubt it, try it a few times in your
n~eighborhood,
When William, the war lord, came
to his high chair he found his neigh
bore sore al him for the deeds of his
grandfather William, and his war
rors. France on the west, Denmark
on the north, and Poland on the east
all had been robbed Of territory: and
in the vaults at Berlin were 81, O00,-
100000 taken from Frances pocket
while Bismarck e Co. had their rid
ing boots on her neck. So far as
I'm concerned, I'd rather have a
small farm with a clear title than an
empire with a cloudy one. But if |
had been elected to Williams place,
| would have set about quieting my
title to my holdings about as follows:
! would have said to France: En-
closed herewith please find my check
for 100000 coo tand odd ~francss
payment in full for forced loan of
1871, with Interest from date at 6 per
cent. Please acknowledge receipt
and oblige, etc" Then when the ex-
element from this had quoted down
a little, / would have made a proc
lamation to Alsace.Lorraine and to
SchleswiglH0lstein. 10 this effect:
ITO Whom This May Concern in
the Captured Provinces: l (So-and-
So Emperor of Germany, propose to
so rule you for the next three years
as to show how much pleasant
and profitable it is to live under Ger
mar rule than under the French or

ton as to whether you stay with us

wish. Idon't care to club people in

klNGCRAFT AT LONG ODDS

INVITATION

We extend to you a most cordial
welcome to call on US at the RumeIy
building.
We want you to get acquainted
with the new 1916 REQ and the new
1915 Maxwell.
We will be glad to show and ex-
plain to you how we can save you
from $4,000 to $4,000 on that new
automobile you are going to buy.
If some day, some one, in some
way, builds a better automobile for
the money than we are selling, we
will know 1t and will be selling it.
We can't afford to divert our time
and energy to selling anything but
the best on the market.
Ii is no crime to make an error, but
don't make an error in BUYING an
automobile that is not built right. It
is expensive business.
Without throwing any extra bou-
quets at ourselves, it amounts to this.
We believe the REQ represents the
highest automobile value sold today
at anywhere near this price, and we
are all of US proud to be mixed up
with such a big successful PROPOSE
ton as the REQ.
Let US give you a demonstration
before you place your order. We d

to do. so.

Golf Dangerous to

John Brock, former mayor of Wa

Of the Pacific coast region, has been
amply indicated, after all! 1t was
thought at the time by the uninitiat-

stress of Temporary alteration and
due allowance was made for his
frame Of mind, but scientific men
have now come forward to prove that
John was in advance of his time by
at least a decade.
Some high authority in a New York
medical formal has issued a word OF
warning to golists. He has discov-
cred danger in the pursuance of the
festive balls on the grassy plots and
