ERNEST A. CODD|NGION.
Former Sup't of the Alma
Schools Died Monday
At HIS HOME IN DETROIT
Funeral Service Held Today at His
Former Home City, Morenci

Ernest A. Coddington was born in
Morenci, Lenawee county, Michigan,
in 1866 and died in Detroit August 3,
1914.
Mr.. Coddington grew to manhood in
Morenci, where he graduated from the
public schools, later going to Olivet
College where four years were spent
and diploma received. Not satisfied
with the education acquired at the
above educational institutions, Mr..
Coddington took postgraduate work
in the literary department of the Uni
versity of Michigan. Following his
studies at the u. of NJ, Mr.. Codding-
ton accepted the superintendency of
schools in various Michigan cities,
coming to Alma about the year 1896
as superintendent of our city schools
for the ensuing two years. Upon the
United States securing possession of
the Philippines, Mr. Coddington en-
tered the educational department of
the government, later becoming super
intendent of publication in the Agri-
cultural department of the Philippine
government.
In November, 1908, he was united
in marriage to Miss Kate Carpenter of
this city, who with her husband spent
the next three years in the govern
ment's island possessions. Owing to
poor health occasioned by the island
climate, Mr.. Coddington resigned his
position in 1911 and returned to Mich
igan and has since made his home in
Detroit.
Besides his wife, Mr.. Coddington
leaves his mother, two brothers and
one sister, together with a host of
friends to mourn his untimely death.
Funeral services will be held this
afternoon at Morenci and burial in the
cemetery near that city. Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Bahlke of this city are in
attendance at the funeral services.

alma has developed wonderfully;
she is splendid little city" is the
way in which Mr.. o. J. Stillwell. who
was superintendent Of the Alma pub
lie schools twenty-five years ago,
characterized the city where he spent
ten years as head of the schools. Mr..
Stillwell is residing at present with
his wife in Ogden, Utah, and until re-
Gently was engaged in buying and i'm

ness he has enjoyed considerable sue

is a sister-in-law of Mr.. Townsend
Ely, he motored from Ogden to Boston
and shipped his car to Liverpool, Eng
land.
For a year Mr. and Mrs. StillwelI
motored through Europe, visiting ev-

toured through all the countries of the
British Isles, and then passed through
France, Belgium, Germany, Holland
and continued on through all the ma

unusually impressed by the beautiful
chateau country" of France While
in Ireland he observed quite closely
the attitude of the people of Ulster,
though at the time that he was there
the Ulsterites were just beginning to
ship in arms. Mr.. Stillwell is abso-
lutely certain that these strong mind
ed Irish will fight, and fight their
hardest to defeat the measures of the
Home Rule bill. The carnage of war
seems to have no terrors for these
men.

Last Monday the Wright House,
which for the past few months has
been under the management of Mr..

carpets, and a general and complete
overhauling of the house is now under

An eye test that costs but five cents
and is worth the price aside from the
value of the test is a moving picture

age program without your eyes ach-
ing or feeling dry and tired and with
out feeling an inclination to open and
close them frequently, and If an hour
later, or the next morning, your eyes
feel perfectly smooth and easy, there
is nothing much the matter with them
If, however. after such program your
vision is dim, your eyes feel dry or
irritated or burn or itch or ache or
feel overworked, try this prescription:

to lessen the stress or strain and
