Seldom has there been such
genuine sorrow in Marion and
all over Crittenden and Livings-

known, as there was last Sunday
when il becam e known that Hen

The shock Of his sudden taking
away was felt by his many
friends as well as his family.
He was stricken with paralysis
Friday afternoon while engaged
about some farm work. his son
Walter being the only person
with him. They were on the
wagon together and nothing
was noticed or known of his
being i'll until he fell off the wag-
on. His son summoned help and
put him on cot and carried him
to the house where he fingered
until Saturday night at 9 O'Clock
when the death angel came.
The funeral was preached al
Sloan Monday at noon by hi.
pastor Rev. Royster and the in
terment was at the Love grav,
yard at 2 o'clock, and was at
tended by one of the largest
crowds ever seen on a similal
occasion in the county. Their,
were many and beautiful fora
offerings, attesting the love an,
respect in which he was held.

KINDNESS PAYS
Views Of An Operator In Regard
To Kindness and Gentleness
OF Manner.

The duties Of the telephone
operator have been so widely
talked on that ! do not hope toI
give many new points on the
subject, but merely to state my
views on some Of the many good
ones given.
Kindness and gentieness of
manner seem TO me the greatest
things 10 bc practiced under any
and all conditions existing in tel
ephone work. This one trait
alone will do more 10 offset any
BAD quality the operator may
have, such as inability toanswer
calls quickly, stupidity or possibly
an unpleasant voice. If she is
unfortunate enough to possess
any of the bad qualities mention
ed. the fact is completely over
looked by the sweetness of her
manner.
The girl at the switchboard has
more opportunities for making
friends than in most any other
business. One never knows the
good a cherry word or friendly
voice may do until one is espec-
tally depressed and everything
seems TO be having a tendency
TO do exactly the wrong thing.
You feel grouchy and everybody
looks as though they were frown-
ing at you. You suddenly remem-
Der some telephoning you must
do and in answer TO your call you
hear a polite and CHEEKY. Mum
Der Please?" The effect is so
uplifting that you at once begin
TO feel better. Surely you are
some one Of importance. else
why such immediate and kindly
attention? And there is every
chance in the world that you
leave the telephone in a self sat
isfed frame Of mind.
! have been stating the effect
OF kindness on the subscriber
alone. But what Of the girl at
the board? She possibly has had
hundred petty annoyances since
coming to work, or things may
be going wrong generally, and
when she hears a gruff impolite
call she is sorely tempted TO ans
wer in a like manner but instead
the Soft answer that turneth
/. away wrath" is heard at the OPP
poeite end Of the wire and a good
effect is almost instantly percei-
: we'd.
The operator has the feeling
' which merely obeying the rules
se. down can never give her,
that of being tempted and having
' overcome the first feelings OF
anger. And each victory wor
only helps her to gain a greater
The good that has been don,
to the subscriber is probably only
= nomentary, but the effect on the
operator is of far greater impor
lance. She is learning the great
, ness of the word Kindness
4. which is after all the only tru,
politeness.
The things we do each day g
to make up the sum Of our lives
y so let us strive to do or say on,
more kindly thing each day unit
sharp words are never heard an,
v kindness has become our secon,
nature. Then the reward right
earned will be ours.

Horror To War.

sociated for some years in the
execution Of trust to promote
international peace and our dut-
les have involved a continual
survey of the efforts to that end
throughout the world.
We wish to say to all friends
of peace that the dreadful war
now raging affords no just cause
for Encouragement, no discredit
to past efforts, and no reason to
doubt that still greater efforts in
the future may be useful and
effective.
The war itself is teaching the
gospel of peace through a lesson
so shocking and so terrible that
thelmost Indifferent can not fail
to attend and understand it.
Not only have the destruction
of life, the devastation and the
suffering in the warning countri-
es passed all experience, but the
cessation of production, the clos
ing of markets, the blocking of
trade routes, the interruption of
exchanges, have affected indus
try and caused ruin and poverty
in all the peaceful countries of
the world.
The universal independence
of nations has been demonstrate
ed and the truth forced upon
every mind that the peace of all
nations is the vital concern of
every nation,
To cast our weak protest now
among the tremendous forces
that are urging on the great con-
flict would be futile; but the
end of this war will come before
long and then the great question
will stand for answer:
Shall the lesson be forgotten:
the sacrifice lost?
That question the kelligerent
nations only will have the pow
er to answer; but every one in
the world will be entitled to be
heard upon it, for it will be @
question of civilization, the most
momentous of our era.
1t seems incredible that after
this the stricken people will sc,

E. J.

The film was shown yes- terday afternon at trial exhibition at the Odeon theatre, and the photography is excellent. the scenes shown-many of them-are thrilling.
 But about Mir. Wolfsohn. He is an American citizen and had little trouble in getting passports out of Germany. Reaching England, he was stopped in the usual manner, but when his captors learned he had only recently left Berlin he was placed under arrest. his valuables taken from him and he was placed in the ,prison for the detention of "alen ene- mics"

 Th~e is no doubt but the appointment of Henry F. Beaumont, the well-known young business and advertising man, will be made permanent, also, as he has been virtually in charge since the first of the year and under his hands the associa- tions internal management, or service departments, have been wholey reorgan- ized, while many other forward steps have been suggested and executed by him.
