OBITUARY

Amanda Licey Lyons was born IN

came to Ohio with her parents, John
and Katherene Licey, when she was
four years of age, settling on a farm
near River Styx. She was next to
the youngest in family of eight chill
dren, two of whom, one brother and
one sister, have preceded her in death
She was married Jan. 18, 1871 to Free
ling H. Lyons of Montviile, in which
township they have resided ever since
There were born to them seven chl-
dren, three sons and four daughters,
all Of whom with the husband survive
her. She led quiet but industrious
life, enjoying her home better than
anywhere else. She was a loving
mother, always doing her duty to her
family and friends. On March 5,
1915, she fell and broke her right
limb, the shock from which she never
recovered. Although being sble to
be around the house some on crutches,
she was in very poor health. Every
thing was done that loving hands could
do, but she was relieved of her suffer
ings at $3.50 p. M, Nov. II, 1915, the
immediate cause of her death being
acute bronchitis and heart trouble.

BLANKETS WILL BE COSTLY


With the first blast of wintry wealth
er comes the state wide announcement
that wool blankets will probably cost
more within a short time because of
the war.
The immense amount of wool used
by the warning nations abroad is said
to have sent blankets soaring in many
parts of the United States. If 1t con-
tinues, the higher price will probably
become more universal.
There seems to be comparatively lit
tie in the way Of clothing and domes-
tic necessities the war hasn't affected
or at least is given credit for doing so.

TALKS ON THRIFT
(American Bankers Association)
EXAMPLES OF REAL THRIFT

"Our people should be taught to
be more thrifty and saving, and
this to a large extent would solve
the question of increased cost of
living."-G vernon Brewer Of
Mississippi.
Miss Anna Barrett, IA, who lives
near Grand Forks, recently won the
North Dakota pork-producing contest
by making a profit Of $156.22 on a
single litter of pigs. She attained the
championship in competition with sew
eral hundred boys and girls through
out the state. She put the money into
the bank and will re-invest it as op-
portunity offers. Her motto is not
"Pigs is pigs, but "Pigs are money"
From 18 cents to a half million dol
lars is how Edward Ulseth's capital
has grown in a few years. He is a
Norwegian who arrived in Calumet,
Mich, with 18 cents in his pocket.
He applied for job at a grocery store
and found the grocery about to throw
away tubful of spoiled butter. Us
seth asked for and was given the ran
cid butter, which he proceeded to
sweeten by mixing it with milk,
having invested his capital of 18 cents
in that commodity. Then he turned
salesman and sold all his butter, real
izing enough to keep him going until
he got work at his regular trade as
carpenter. He saved his money and
became a contractor. Now he has
thousands invested in real estate, rail
roads and copper stocks.
The garden season is at hand again
so that there is special interest in the
story of a Worcester, Mass, youth,
who at 20 years of age, has to his
credit $4,000 made from his vegetable
garden in half an acre of land in the
rear of his fathers house.
He started in at 13 years of age
and was not very strong or healthy at
first. But his efforts were rewarded.

greenhouse. The next year it was
necessary to add Is feet to his so foot
greenhouse because shipping fine vege
tables 10 Boston was so profitable.
Now this youth has, it is said, ST.
500 in the bank and a greenhouse and
stock which are estimated at $1,5OO
more. Many young men at 20 are
wondering what they can do to earn a
good living. Here is one who began
badly handicapped, but who has his
business, health and working capital
we'll established.
There is a man in one of the New
Jersey suburbs of New York city who
has built there an average of 20
houses year for the past eight years.
This builder started as a wheelwright
and carpenter in Syracuse, N. Y, han
dicapped by the fact that his "book
larnin" was very limited. But he
was superior workman, and it was
not long before his skill and industry
were rewarded. He was made fore
man in the shop where he worked.
Then he studied nights and with the
aid of his good wife prepared himself
for something better. He became es-
pecially adept at figuring interest and
he made up his mind that it was bet
ter to receive interest than to pay it.
When he had saved a little capital
and had learned all there was to know
about house building, he looked around
to see where houses were most needed.
He thought this was in Bergen county.
So Re began there. He seemed to
know instinctively what home-seekers
wanted and he built SO well and at
such a fair price That he had good
luck from the first. Part of the profit
from each house he built went into
his bank account and later into good
permanent investments. Now he is a
well-to-do, a respected citizen, bor-
ough officer and a director in the To-
cal building and loan association. His
English is not perfect yet, but his
"John Hancock" on the back Of a
check is unquestioned by any banker
within a radius Of a good many miles.

General Secretary Treasurer Jerre L.
Sullivan of the Hotel and Restaurant

stopped over in Denver to visit his three
local unions while on his way to the
American Federation of Labor conven-
tion at San Francisco. He was billed
to address a joint meeting of the Bar
tenders. Cooks and Walters unions last
Sunday night, but owing to the lateness
of his train in arriving the meeting was
called off and he addressed the three
unions separately. He was accompanied
by his wife and daughter, Mrs. Sullivan
insisting on coming via Denver to spend
few days in in this city after the
many pleasant recollections of her for
mer visit here when the a. F. of L.
held its convention in this city.
The genial Jerre Is a Denver product
and one of the many able labor leaders
and national officers that this city has
furnished labor's cause. He at one time
carried a card in Walters Union No. Il
and worked at the Royal, Creamery and
other restaurants that were the bullwark
of the union catering establishments OF
their day. However. that is twenty
years ago. when the unions of his or
carnations were young, but he boasts
today that he received his union train

Sunday evening he addressed Bar

ing. speaking for an hour on matters that
vitally interested the large number of
members that are expecting to be de-
prived of their means of earning a live
lihood in this state after the first of
the year. He predicted that the refresh
ment question in this nation will event
ually be solved by the example and
method that it is handled in European
countries. where taverns, beer gardens
and similar drinking places are legiti-
mately conducted and are properly regu-
lated and patronized by the most re-
spectacle of citizens and their wives
Mr. Sullivan has travelled over Europe
and related many instances that he had
observed of this industry being better
conducted than is the case here. He
stated that it was his opinion and OBJ

servation, that the conduct of many sa.
1oonkeepers themselves and the methods
they used were responsible for their own
undoing. He was very strong in his
denunciation of lawlessness and rowdy-
ism and impressed upon the members the
necessity of keeping this element en-
tirely from the catering business. He
complimented members of the Denver
union, the orderly and efficient manner
that it was conducted and the showing
it had made and regretted that many
of the members may be deprived of their
present positions, but urged them to
maintain their organization and not give
up the fight.
On Monday evening he visited both the
Walters and Cooks unions, being warm
ly greeted by the members, first visiting
the Walters at their Curtis street home
He instructed the members what they
should do to advance their interests. He
spoke especially against the Cafeterias,
which We're depriving many walters and
waitreses of their chance to make
living. and stated that means should be
employed to enlighten the people and
especially the business men on the NUN.

He related his experiences in Denver in

Petitions for the recall OF Gov. George
W. r. Hunt, on the alleged ground that
his administration is extravagant and
incompetent to conserve the peace and
dignity Of the commonwealth, were
placed in circulation last Saturday by
II. +. johnson of Mesa.
To those who have followed the
events following the strike Of the cop
per miners in the Arizona fields, il is
evident that the recall OF Governor Hunt
is not socght on account OF his extrav-
sgance and incompctency, but n move
on the part of the operators to coerce
the governor into doing their bidding in
their vanton atemp TO drive the West
crn Federation Of Miners from Arizona.
The movement against the governor
was crystallized in open demands for
his recall when. in an address recently
at Clifton. Governor Hunt spoke in IA
Vor Of the cause OF the striking copper
miners % that district.
The governor has fatty refused TO
place the state militia at the beck and
call Of the operators. while at the same
time he has stationed companies in the

statement; when the employees have

that they will do 50 now.
The miners statement as relates to
