5, 1929, and died at his home in
Bloomington, Wis, Feb. 6, 1915,
aged 50 years, II months and one
day.
The days of his youth were passed
in the Buckeye state, and there he
obtained his early education and con-
victions on various subjects.
In 1850 he married Sarah Jane
McConkey. The union resulted in
ten children, four of whom died in
infancy, and two Mrs. Alwilda
Kirkendall and Sherm) passed on after
attaining me turity. The four living
are Roxie (Nlrs. Edgar Marshall, }
Rilla Mrs. James Briggs of Suther-
land, Iowa. Augusta MRS. Peter
Thornton of Rossville, Iowa., and
Grant, at home. Mrs. Tubbs died in
1891, and in 1892 Mr.. Tubbs mar
ried Miss Clarissa Fairbanks. This
union resulted in one son, Roscoe,
who is still at home One brother,
A. @. Tubbs, is a resident of
this city. In 1855 Mr.. Tubbs
came to Dane County, Wis, with his
fathers family, and bought some
land. But he sold out and returned
to Ohio, in a short time. He re-
turned to Dane County two or three
years later and bought farm, but
sold again and returned to Ohio, re-
manning in that state until 1872,
when he again came to Wisconsin
and bought farm on Blakes Prairie.
He lived On this farm until 1887,
when he leased it to his son Grant
and bought house in this village,
which he had since occupied as his
home.
Mr.. Tubbs early united with the
Christian church He was man Of
strong convictions, but scrupulously
honest in all his dealings. As a
farmer he was proud of his vocation
and always was striving to improve
the quality of the output of the farm
Born near the border line, across
which was the institution of Virginia
slavery, he was in a district of in
tense agitation on the slave question.
The prejudices he formed against
slavery and in favor of the Republi-
can party remained with him through
life. He was an intense partisan
of John Brown, William Lloyd CARR
son, Fremont, Lincoln and the other
early chapions of freedom for slaves.
Later he was just as ardent in his
support of Grant, Garfield, Mckinley
and Roosevelt.
Funeral services for Mr.. Tubbs
were held at the Congregational
church Tuesday afternoon. Rev.
Dahlberg preached the sermon. A
large number of friends gathered to
pay last tribute to an old resident,
who had made a good name in the
community. Nav he rest in peace.

THE PETITION.

A petition, asking the postoffice
department TO continue the Sunday
mail service to this village, was
circulated for couple of hours on
Canal street Saturday afternoon.
Nearly all the business men on the
street and enough others to make a
majority of the men of the village
signed the petition. This was for
warded to the department on account
of one sent in by those opposed to
Sunday mail. There is little likeIi-
hood of the mails being stopped, as
Jublic sentiment and convenience de-
mand its retention. Any mail posted
here Sunday morning arrives in Chi
cago Monday morning. For proof
of this fact ask any merchant in town
the postmaster of this city, the post
master at Glen Haven, or the station
agent at Glen Haven. A false rumor
has been circulated persistently, stat
ing that this is not the case.
Les Boorman was up from Bagley
Saturday.
DIR. and Mrs. II. H. Hancock visit
ed Lacrosse Tuesday and Wednesday,
and DR.. Hancock attended a dental
meeting.
The high school was dismissed
Thursday and Friday, and Prof. Bray

an Iowa lady. Ben is welcome to
the community.

Rohemia,s Lace Industry.

Bohemia's great industry, that of lace-making by hand, is not shown by the returns of declared exports to this country for two reasons. In the first place the bulk of the laces is bought by the visitors at the various cures and personally carried home, and, secondly, those obtained by the representatives of the few large Ameri- can firms that annually send buyers there are for the most part shipped first to London, then from London to the United States, presumably that all possible secrecy may be thrown around the fact that supposedly real Belgian, French and Italian laces are, in truth, Bohemian, for, in addition to the typi- cal Bohemian faces, fine valenciennes, malines, cluny, etc. are produced, as are also fine Italian laces which are shipped in large quantities to Italy for the tourist trade Some of the finer Bohemian faces bring as high as S20o yard. There are some 30,000 per sons employ ed in this work, which is entirely a home industry and confined exclusively to the mountain districts. Men, women and children all make laees; often children as young as six years are skilled workers,

FOOTBALL IS HIT BY WAR Most Popular Sport in Germany suf fers From Lack of Leather
 and Players.

Football, the most popular sport in Germany, has suffered great limita- tions on account of the war, not only because many players, and particular ly home celebrities, are at the front, but also because sporting goods are hard to get Since all leather is be- ing used for military purposes, very little of it is available for footballs. Several makers of footballs have agreed, however, to furnish footballs for the next few months at prices about thirty per cent above former fig ures. This slight increase Is not in proportion to the actual cost, but 1t is the desire to enable players to keep up the healthful exercise. This sacrifice on the part of the football makers, which affects IA firms, is highly appre ciated. Bladders for footballs have also increased in price, as all rubber has been confiscated.
 The German sporting goods indus try has kept up with the demand of the ever-growing German athletic en- deavors, and has reached a degree of perfection that establishes independ- ence of England in this respect.
 So far the American manufacturers of sporting goods have not appeared on the German market

To Prevent Colds.

In order to prevent attacks of d spring cold and grippe care should be taken not to come in contact with per sons who cough or sneeze or show signs of having a cold. Grippe is very easily communicated from one member of a family to another or can be tran sferred in a crowded car or room Keep out of poorly ventilated rooms. Seek pure air, both in the day time and on retiring. Get into the sunlight. Germs cannot live in pure oxygen and sun light Exercise in the open air and pro- perly clothed will keep one healthy and add years to ones life Leave alcohol in any form alone. IL is responsible for many ailments and lowers bodily resistance and is actually responsible for many cases of grippe Be fresh air crank and sleep in a bedroom with the windows open but Ouf of danger of a draft.

Care should be taken to regulate the diet. Plain. good food. properly pre- pared is the best diet for young and old. Rich, greasy and dried foods should be barred. A man who would not under any consideration allow his horse, his dog or his cat certain things because he knows they will cause dis temper and other ills will allow his children to sit at the table with the grownups and consume incredible amounts of the identical things that the elders are eating. Too much meat and too hearty foods are given to young children with the result that the doe tors income is increased Make the child eat plain nourishing foods Be ware of too much meats, omit fried foods. rich and sweet pastries.
