Italian finance 10 a haI test. We had
to meet the enormous extraordinary ex-
pendituro despite a considerable falling
off In revenue. The best plan consisted
in Increasing the forced currency and a.
the same time raising money by means
OF loans. our present duty Is to spend
money well, Just as our future duty will
consist in economzing. our history. af-
fording so many examples OF patriotic

count on the generous cooperation OF all
social classes. and we therefore trust
that everybody with fraternal solidarity
will contribute toward the accomplish

Mrs. Lillian M. Long, wife of Clyde

Bank, passed away at her home in
this city at Ills o'clock last evening,
following lingering illness. While it
was known that life could not be long

a shadow of gloom among her WIDE

Mrs. Long was taken with severe
attack of erysipelas which later de-
yeloped into tubercular trouble which
caused death. Sanitarium treatment
and the most skilled medical atten-

insidious disease, and for several
weeks life has held by slender
thread. Mrs. Long was about ~
wears of age. Previous to her mar

the Osakis public schools and was
