He was united in marriage Feb. 3,
1904. with Ella May Carey at her home
west of Edgerton. During the eleven
years of their married life they have
lived in their little home on the corner
of Canal and Main streets. In Septem-
Der, 1913, he suffered a severe stroke
of paralysis which kept him entirely
from work several months. Little by
little, however, tho at first scarcely
able to use his left hand and foot, he
forced himself by courage and deter
mination back to work with apparently
a renewed lease upon life. Those near
est and dearest to him were led to be-
lieve that all immediate danger had
passed. On Friday night, March 5th,
he went to bed in the best of spirits
and within one hour was stricken with
another and fatal stroke Of paralysis.
Altho every possible relief was given,
he died at o'clock Saturday morning.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Congrega-
tional church, conducted by Rev. Philip
E. Gregory. The remains were in
tered in Fassett cemetery.
Besides host of friends and rela-
tives, he leaves wife and little son of
six years, Rexford, also father and
mother, four sisters and three broth
ers-Mr. and Mrs. Wray Watson, Mrs.
H. B. Knapp, Mary, Ruth, Emily,
Roger and Ben, all Of Edgerton, and
William of SCISSOR, Ill.
This loving husband, father, friend
was called from life while yet on it's
upward journey. His silent fortitude
in the face of sickness and discourage
ment and his grim determination to
meet all obstacles with smile might
we'll be an example to many who with
far lighter loads weary and faint by
the wayside

Married.
PEASE-ELY.

In the presence of immediate rela-
tives numbering about thirty, including
both grandfathers, simple but eX-
ceedingly pretty wedding took place at
the farm home of Alex White in Porter
on Wednesday afternoon, March 10th,
when Frank H. Pease Jr. and Miss
Hortense A. Ely were united in mar
riage by Rev. w. H. Hooton of this

Obituary.
PAUL SPENCER WATSON.


Paul Spencer Watson was born in
Recall, Yorkshire, England, October
81, 1871. With his parents and an older
brother and sister he came to America
and settled in Edgerton in 1884. Here
he received his education in the public
schools, and at an early age began an
apprenticeship in the printing Office of
F. w. Coon. His interest in mechan-
les, however, led him in 1891 to change
his apprenticeship to T. L. Stillman's
wagon and repair shop on Swift street,
where he learned his life's trade and
became associated with his, fellow ap-
prentice, Marvin Marsden. Between
these two warm and what proved to
be life long friendship grew up. In
1897 they formed the partnership firm
of Marsden & Watson and opened a
bicycle shop in the James Croft block
on Fulton street. In 1898 the firm re-
moved to Swift street to remain one
year, when they permanently located
on Canal street. After eleven years
of successful partnership, Mr.. Wat
son bought the interest of the senior
member and has since conducted the
business alone under the name of Wat
sons Machine Shop.

Twenty-Five Years Ago.

Asa Hayes died at his home in Albion
on the 7th, aged 68 years.
Charles Olson, well to do farmer on
Albion Prairie, was assaulted and stab
bed by couple of his tenants while re-
turning from Stoughton. No less than
twelve gashes were cut in his head and

jailed.
A somewhat novel wedding took
place in Justice Smiths office Thurs
day. The invitations were issued by
Marshal Spangler and bore the official
signature of the judge without consult
ing the convenience of either party.
The bride hadn't time to prepare
trousseau or curl her hair, while the
groom came fresh from blacksmith
shop in dark suit and half frightened
smile, and the usual formalities OF the
service were dispensed with. There
was no wedding march played, no kiss
ing of the bride, no flowers, no love, no
nothing except straight business: Thus
it was that Dell Hakes and Bertha
Amundson began their married life.

Portland, Ore, Sept. lowing to
more favorable weather conditions,
the forest fire situation in Oregon to-
day showed improvement, although
several fires in the state were still
uncontrolled. Lower temperatures,
some precipitation and an absence of
wind were aiding fire fighters in the
national forests, according to the dis.
trict forester here. South of Mount
Hood an extensive area was still
ablaze today and a large force of
men was combating it. Several small

were being confined to given areas.
In Union and Wallowa counties nu.
merous fires were still burning. Re-
ports as to the progress of subduing
them were indefinite. Fires in other
parts OF the state are reported.

EDUCATING THE
FARM Err

What is called the Farm Bureau
Movement is now spreading all over
the country. Agricultural experts,
scientifically trained, are engaged to
offer advice and make experiments,
for the farmers of a county or other
area of territory. This work is ac-
complishing a great deal Of good. Yet
it is very big proposition for one
or two men to attempt to revolution
ize the farm methods of any one To-
cality.
A practical and progressive farmer
in another county. on being asked
what he thought of the results accom-
plished by the bureau in his neigh
borhood, said it was costing pretty
high for what the farmers were get
ting out of it. Yet he would not be
willing to have the work given Up.
The farmers have had an enormous
lot Of advice discharged at them for
the past ten years. The agricultural
colleges, farmers institutes, railroad
development services, the agricultural
papers, the United States and state
bulletins, are heaping up pamphlets
and addresses. More or less of this
advice is conflicting. At any rate
the farmer must get confused with
its multiplicity.
1t is not an easy thing even for
the trained expert, to go on a farm
that the owner has worked all his
life, perhaps his father before him
too, and give a correct opinion off
hand as to how the production of that
land can be increased. In some cas-
es the unscientiic owner would know
more than the scientific adviser
Facts and figures of definite things
done on certain land would probably |

aside the thousand things it can do
which no persons of moderate means

Always Tell

Always tell mother. She is willing

Willing to listen to tales OF despair.
Tell her when trials and troubles
assail,
Seek her for comfort when sorrows
prevail.
Take mothers hand when temptations
entice;
Ask for her counsel; seek mothers
advice.
Always tell mother. In mother con.
fide;
Foster no secrets from mother to
hide.
Train your thoughts nobly, nor let
your lips speak
Words that will kindle a blush on
her cheek.
Mother stands ready her aid to i'm
part;
Open to mother the door Of your
heart.
Always tell mother. Your joys let
her share;
Lift from her shoulders their bur-
dens of care;
Brighten her pathway, be gentle and
kind,
Strengthen the ties Of affection that
bind,
Tell her you love her; look UP in
her face;
Tell her no other can take mothers
place.
Always tell mother. When dangers
betide,
if need be, will die by your
side.
Though you be sunken in sin and !
disgrace.
Mother will never turn from you her

THE PROGRESS OF WOMEN
IN BUSINESS

| A salesman for a concern dealing
in lumber products made a statement
in conversation the other day that
will surprise a good many people.
He said in his travels he had come
across a considerable number of bust.
| ness firms in the lumber trade that
were employing women as managers
or in very responsible positions much
| above the grade of ordinary book
keeping and stenography. II was his
opinion that during the last few years
in many lines of business, women
have made a phenomenal advance in
the filling of places Of management
calling for executive ability.
At first thought most people would
say that the lumber trades were not
suited to women. Yet the close hab-
its Of observation possessed by the
female sex are vital to success in
dealing with any kind of material pro.
duct In the finer lines of wood work.
ing, women would be keen judges of
artistic effects, natural beauty, and
appropriateness of design.
Anyone who ever saw a few exec.
utive women run a church fair, a
public supper, or theatrical entertain
ment, must be convinced that they
have gifts OF management equal or
superior to those possessed by the
average men. Tact and insight of
human nature are very vital factors
in running any kind of business.
They would count in the supply of
wood materials and in thousand
other lines now or formerly held ex.
clusively by men.
Women ought to be encouraged to
enter these new lines Of effort. Ger.
tain professions, notably teaching and
stenography, are so crowded with
women that rates of pay are low. If
women would fit themselves with the !
technical information needed for bus.
mess success, they would improve
their economic position and relieve
the congestion in crowded employ.
ments. They would be in a more in.
dependent position as regards marri- /
age, and could pick and choose with
some sense of resources Of their
own.
