To see him come and to hear his voice.

For the sake Of those who At home wait.

Facing whatever may come his way;
Silent whenever the harsn condemn,
And bearing 1t all for the love OF them.

Doing, with courage stern and grim,

by special arrangement anu
through the courtesy of Maple Camp
Modern Woodmen Of America, Mana
ger Appleby has booked reel of l.
040 feet, featuring Robert Wilson OF
Missouri, in a true and realistic
nlm story of his part in the pres
ent war-not of bloodshed-but in
the fight against and conquest Of that
menacing monster OF the human
desh-tuberculosis. Wilson is one OF
the million members of the Modern
Woodmen of America. Discovering
that he is afflicted with this disease.
he takes advantage of the comforts,
care and cure of the Sanatorium
owned, maintained and operated by
that society free of charge to its
members. For several years that fra
ternal institution has thus actively
and effectively co-operated in the
world wide movement advocated by
the Red Cross and medical authorities
to stamp out the dread white
plague" and Wilson is the beneficiary
Of this Woodmen life saving station.
It is an intensely interesting and
heart gripping story Of the leave TAX
ing Of wife and children. Weak in
body and hopeless in mind he jour-
neys to the beautiful Rocky Noun
tain region near Colorado Springs,
Colo, where, in the rarifed climate
and constant sunshine, at an altitude
Of 1000 feet, he is destined to spend
nine months at the foot of Mount Ce-
dar in the care of the most modern
Sanatorium in the world. His exper-
fences in Chasing the cure" his alb
solute rest from all cares and labor,
his gradual return to health and
strength, his "hikes" among the frag-
rant pines and over the rocky trails
Of the U. s. forest reserve, leased by
and adjoining the Sanatorium, result
In his final return to family and
friends, victorious over his foe.
1.-THE Man Who Came Back" is a
thrilling and dramatic story, and alb
solutely true as we'll; indeed, his ex-
perience has been duplicated by nearly
1000 Of his fellow Neighbors, who
have already enjoyed the benefits Of
this justly celebrated institution.
This film is pronounced by compe-
tent authorities to be one Of the
very best in this highly developed
age of motion pictures, and is in
such great demand that it can be
booked for only one day and night

Obituary.
EDDY:

Rebecca Young was born in Alburgh,
Grand Isle County, Vermont, on No
vember 20, 1888. She was married to
Augustus Eddy of the same place IN
1855. They came to Iowa in the year
1856. She lived near or in Cresco until
the spring of 1911. Her husband passed
away on November Ia, 1904.
Six children were born to the union:
Austin of Erhard, Mimi; Alice Cuper-
nell, of Pasadena, CAL; Jennie Pike,
Of Alburgh, Vermont; Florence Bentz,
of Springfield, Mo-; William, of Cres-
co, Iowa, and Melvin, of Monona, Iowa.
She made her home with the latter son
during her last days surrounded with
every comfort and in great happiness.
Mrs. Eddy was good Christian,
good mother and wife. She was always
reaching out her hands to the poor and
needy and always doing unto others as
she wished to be done by. She united
with the. Congregational church in early
life and always lived in the true faith
which sustained her in life and accomp-
anied her through the valley of death
to the land of reality. She leaves be-
side her children and grandchildren,
two brother, George Young Of St. Paul,
MINI. and Sumner Young Of Canada, to
mourn her going.
A dear..sister and mother has gone to
that better realm where happiness new
er ends. On April first she fell, caus-
ing fracture of the hip from which
she was..not able to recover. She was
patient sufferer, always smiling, low
ingly, upon those who tenderly cared
for her. On the morning Of April ID,
1916 at 9 clock she fell asleep.
The body was brought to Cresco and
the funeral services were conducted in
the Congregational church by DR.. D.
T. Robertson, the pastor, and the body
was laid away in the old Eddy burying
ground, by the side of her husband.
The burying ground is on land which
she and her husband prompted when
they came to this county in 1856.

War Excitement in Barber Shop.

Mel Stiles, the barber, isn't touted
as very strong German partisan in
his war talk, SO when the other day he
made the remark that he would rather
shave three Germans than one English
man, it caused some murmuring over
the tea cups and checkerboards. Ed
Price and Fred Mason, two tried sons
Of Johnny Bull, heard of it and forth
with, with chips nicely balanced on
their shoulders, proceeded to the barber
shop to ascertain the why and where
fore, willing to back up the abused En-
glish with their lives, if necessary. In
response to their heated demands for
an explanation, Mel explained that If
he shaved three Germans he would re-
ceive therefor forty five cents, while
from one Englishman fifteen cents
would be all he could hope for, Neu-
trality was declsred At once and peace
reigneth since in the barber shop. lie
