We ak Of society. 1t means a differ

who speaks Of 1t. Society is not the big
unit in the eyes of God. Man is the big
unit In the eyes of God.
A good man in hell would cause 1t to
cool down and in six months time he
would be raising Strawberries
My objection to organized b is that II
loses man In the combination. German
society Is SO accurate and that
they have the greatest mechanism In the
world. They have lost men In the ma
Modern methods are immature and de-
fective ways of getting at the thing. we
want. We degrade man to make society.

than to live in the lap of luxury like a
poodle dog.

William Howard was born at Long
Sutton. Lincolnshire. England, April
20, 1847, and died at his home in Cres-
co, Iowa, December II, 1916. Mr..
Howard grew to manhood in his native
land, and on November II, 1868, hewas
united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth
Walton, also of Long Sutton, and for
10 years they labored together amid
the old surroundings. At last the fever
of emigration fastened upon him, and
with his wife and family he set sail
for the land of promise-America, and
arrived in Cresco, May 2, 1887. He
took up farm life and only retired from
that activity some six years ago when
he came to Cresco to live. Mr.. How
ard was a member of the Baptist
church in England, but has never iden-
titled himself with any church in this
country.
Seven children were born into the
home, two of whom died in infancy.
Those living are, w. w., Mrs. Lizzie
Eddy, Mrs. Anna Barker, all of Cres-
co; Fred of Cornell, Mimi, and ]. w.
of Postville, Iowa. In addition to the
children mentioned, he leaves faith
full and loving wife, 16 grand children
and one great grand child, and large
number of loving friends to mourn his
departure. Mr.. Howard has never
been sick during his life, his wife new
er having known him to be
sick in bed before his last
sickness. His heart was in bad
condition and he slipped away very
quietly in the early morning.
The funeral was held from the home
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in charge
of Rev. Will Kirwin, pastor of the
Methodist church, and interment was
made in Oaklawn cemetery.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to return our heartfelt
thanks to all the neighbors and friends

SEED CORN FOR 1916.

Grown in northwest Iowa near the
Minnesota state line. While this lot
lasts you can buy it for $500 per
bushel. I know it is the best of seed
and suitable for this county, and it
is your place to know the same thing.
l tested carefully before buying, and
under the supervision of an Ames
graduate, and l will give you the
same privilege. Just say how many
bushels you need, take a sack home
and use ten days for testing, and then
if entirely satisfactory pay for it.
That is the safe and only way you
should buy seed corn.
This does not come through any
seed house to me. personally buy it
from the farmer and can furnish the
growers name, his postoffice address
and the legal numbers of his farm.
It's just as important for you to know
where your seed was grown as to
know if it will terminate property.
I have in my possession a personal
letter from Ames Agricultural college
endorsing my methods in the seed
corn business. There has been corn
sent from the south this fall to the
north, and next spring you will have
plenty of chances to buy same for
northern grown corn from various
seed companies. Kindly bear in mind
that l am going to do this right
and want you to know it's right be-
fore you pay one cent. You may use
ten days for testing and that will give
you plenty of time. This is splen-
did chance to secure good seed at half
of what you will have to pay in the
spring. So far as I am concerned
this lot is all can supply at $500
per bushel.
Corn is medium yellow and all on
the ear. See this seed at my store.
