Obituary Of Mary Foss

Mary Sophie Jacobsen was born in
Schleswig Germany, Sept. 25, 1S46,
and came to America with her par
ents In 1858 and settled at Moline,
III. She was united in marriage to
Henry Foss, Dec. IL, 1868, in Moline
and TO this union four children were
born, Henry c. of Adair, Mrs. Ida
Wahlert and Charlie both of this city
and all were present most of the time
during their mothers sickness, one
daughter having died at the age of
five years in Moline.
Besides these she leaves to mourn
her departure sixteen grand child
rem, one brother, Chas Jacobsen of
Adair, two sisters, Mrs. Geo. Meyers
and Mrs. John Schlater, and her
grief stricken husband who has been
blind nearly three years and is past
81 years of age, and one adopted
daughter, Nora, whose mother died
when she was born and was a sister
to Mrs. Foss.
Mr.. and Mrs. Foss came to Iowa
in 1885 and moved to a farm six
miles east of Extra where they re-
sided until the year 1907 when they
moved to town and have since re-
sided.
Mrs. Foss was most devoted
mother and wife and a life long
christian. One of her greatest COM
forts was the bible and she trusted
in the Lord for everything. She was
baptized and confirmed in the Luth-
eran church when sixteen years of
age and has been firm believer and
good worker for the cause of her
Master since.
When she fell about five weeks
ago on the icy walk, as she was on
her way to see sick friend, she
broke her hip and was carried to her
home and made as comfortable as
possible and everything done to make
it pleasant for her. She said she
would give her care to Gods keeping
and IL it be His will that she be TAX
en- she was ready to answer to Ills
call.
II was thought by the fri ends and
the re latiNes that she was getting
aloEg hiCely and she would socE be
able to ST. up until Monday about
midnight when she took with sew
ere attack of heart trouble and pass
ed peacefully away.
1t was indeed a shock to the
whole community when they learned
of her death on Tuesday morning
and she will be missed and mourned
for by all but 1t is doubly sorrowful
for the lonely husband who is left
behind and so afflicted.
During Mrs. Foss' sickness she has
read the daily papers to her husband
as was her habit when she was well.
The funeral services were held in
the Christian church Thursday after
noon and the body laid to rest in the
Extra cemetery. Rev. Linkletter hav-
ing charge of the services.
To the bereaved family and rela-
tives the community extends their
deepest sympathy.
The relatives and friends from out
of town who attended the funeral
were Mr.. and Mrs. j. Fl, Stanton and
little daughter Hazel of Valley juno
ton; Miss Edith Schlotfeldt of Coun-
Gil Bluffs; Mrs. VIM. Wahlert and
children of Anita; Mr. and Mrs. Erp-
est Winklemann, Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Winklemann and Mrs. Geo. Peters of
Adair.

The manufacturers of suit cases
are looking for improved business
conditions in Iowa. We noticed quite
a brigade coming up from the North
western depot the other evening. At
the head of the procession were two
very heavily loaded suit cases and
from the way the two young lads
hung onto the straps, one would
judge they imagined they were strap
hangers in a street car. Unfortunate
ly the handle had broken. The pur-
chasers should demand of the manu-
facturers a better grade of leather
for the handles.

Last Saturday a farmer entered
VIM. Bailey's barber shop. dotted his
coat and hat, seated himself labor
iously in the chair and demanded of
the ever polite barber to be shaven at
once. II was noticed when he came
in that his manner of walking and
the way he carried his head was not
his usual custom but nothing was
thought of it until he had admonish-
ed the artist with the razor to be
very careful in shaving him as he
had the hoof and mouth disease. The
effect of these words was magical
upon htose within hearing distance
as they simply melted away. On see

he called to them and assured them
that IL they would come back that
no harm could come to them as he
only had the tooth ache and corn
on his toe.

Am AggressiYe Campalgn.

The determination OF the Republi-
cans to hold their convention the week
before the Democrats hold theirs fore
shadows q forceful and aggressive
campaign. In choosing June Ia as the
date for their convention the Demo
Gratis thought they had forced the Re-
publicans to meet later, but the Re-
publicans have no need to await the
publication Of the Democratic plat
form to procure an issue.
The Republican party has always
been the party of action, the atiirma-
tive party, and the Democratic party
has always been the party OF criticism
and negation. And so IT will be next
year. The record Of this administra-
ton affords all the issues the Republic
cans desire, or need. They will meet
az Chicago and attack the Democratic
administration in no uncertain terms
and will put before the people posi-
tive and constructive program regard
ing which there can be no doubt.
A week later the Democrats will
foregather in st. Louis and devote
themselves to their customary pastime
criticism of the Republicans.

The New Apportionment.

The new apportionment plan, pro-
posed by resolution of the Republican
National Committee adopted in Decem-
Der, 1913, since approved by the Re
publican organization of twenty-five
states and now made final by action OF
the committee, provides in effect for
two delegates for each senator and one
for each representative in Congress,
and in addition thereto, for one dele
gate for each Congressional district
which cast not less than $500 Repub-
lican votes either in the 1908 or 1911
election.
In effect, this will reduce the dele
gates in the next national conven-
ton from 1918 to 9S5. The changes
in detail are as follows: Alabama
loses eight delegates, Arkansas three
Florida four, Georgia eleven, LOUIS.
lana eight, Mississippi eight. New Mex.
leo two, New York three. North Caro-.
lima three. South Carolina seven, Ten.
nessee three. Texas fourteen. Virginia
nine, Hawaii six, Philippines two and
Porto Rico two, making a total reduc.
ton of ninety-three.
With convention consisting OF 9S5
delegates, 494 votes will, Of course
be necessary to nominate.

gated that task, along with others OF

A glance at the personnel of the
committee shows 1t to be entirely rep
1esentative-not of the so-called "old
guard" not of the "Progressives"-
but of the entire party, this being an
entirely logical outcome OF the entire
absence of factionalism which char
acterized the entire meeting of the ma
tional committee.

and generosity and devotion exist.
and you know that they abound and
give to your life its highest beauty

the world IL there were no Santa
Claus. There would be no child-like
faith then, no poetry, no romance TO
make tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment, except in
sense and sight. The eternal light
with which childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.

prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus.
