INSTITUTE A BIG SUCCESS

The first Farmers Institute at
Gray came to glorious close at the
NJ. w. A. hall last night. a two days
program had been arranged and
each session was exceptionally we'll
attended. The people of Gray and
vicinity are highly pleased with tue
Institute and greatly encouraged by
the manner in which their efforts
last night closed by singing "God be
With Yoy Till we Meet Again." aLs
everyone left the hall feeling that
the attempt had been a success be-
yond all expectations.
The condition of the roads made 1t
impossible for many farmers to at
tend. Many of them planned to
come but were unable to reach Gray
in time for the programs.
The local people who appeared on
the program as well as those sent
from Ames, handled their topics in
a creditable manner. The discus
sions that followed brought out
many points of interest to the peo-
pie in this great agricultural Sec
ton of Iowa.
The committee in charge of at
fairs is to be highly complimented
for the great success that the Insti-
tute proved to be. We hear good
words spoken for the active part of
Rev. Lyles took in, the matter.
All of Audubon county will have
to take off their hats to the pro-
gressive people of Gray and vicinity.
They had undertaken big task and
now that they have made good all
ought to Join in rejoicing with them.

OLD PIONEER Is GONE

Adam Killinger an aged and high

miles northwest Of Audubon last Fri
day after an illness of short dura-

overcofe the ravages of the disease.
He is one of the county's oldest set

industry and ambitious habits. He
was pronounced by all an excellent
neighbor and a kind friend.
Adam Killinger was born in Ash

his late home near Audubon March

THE PUMP is REPAIRED

The pump at the city's deep well
is again In working order. Mr.. Arch
ibald Of Omaha with a large force OF
men. took out over q hundred feet
of rods and a number of other
changes were made that are calcul-
ated to do away with much of the
trouble that heretofore has caused
the numerous breakdowns. The
pump has been grinding away for
three days and prospects are that
much of the old trouble has been
eliminated. The mayor and city
council have done everything to get
matters in its proper shape. They
are only human and have no control
over the unforeseen circumstances
that arise from time to time. But
they are men of business ability and
render the city the best service with
in their power.

HAIL, EASTER MORN!

Again this busy old world pauses
long enough to take cognizance of
the most pathetic tragedy In all his
tory. Without the crucifixion and all
OF the sadness surrounding that
memorable event there could have
been no Easter, laden with hope and
promise.
The Christian world observes the
birthday of the Savior with 10y and
gladness because His coming was
ushered in with the glad acclaim:
Peace on earth. goodwill toward
men," We turn from the busy life
of Him who spake as never man
spake" and mingle with the busy
throng during the memorable pas
sion week, standing at its close in
the very shadow of the cross, catch
ing family the dying declaration Of
the worlds Redeemer as He prays
the Father to forgive His accusers.
II that awful scene had closed the
career of the Christ, then indeed
might His traducers have given some
excuse for their cruelty. II the sep
ulcher had remained sealed with the
Roman signet the historian would
simply have given to the coming gem
erations a mere statement that by or
der of Herod man named Jesus
Christ, wonderful in thought, speech
and deed, was crucified between two
thieves and Joseph of Aramathea
begged his body and laid 1t in q tomb
over against precipitous cliff over
looking the valley near the ancient
city of Jerusalem where 1t still re-
poses, protected by the royal seal of
the mighty Caesar.
From a human standpoint. wholly
oblivous Of an Omnipotent decree,
such would have been the fate of the
greatest moralist and teacher the
world ever knew. Without hope the
generations through all the centuries
that have come and gone would have
pleaded for deliverer from the
bonds of death and the incense from
million alters would still be as
cending to appease the wrath of an
avenging God.
But the grave was not to remain
sealed. Angelic hosts removed the
stone from the sepulcher and clothed
with life and immortality the con-
Queror of death comes forth to live
forevermore. The tender voice that
proclaimed to the weeping Mary the
mighty truth, He is not here, but is
risen" brought to the heart and con-
science of sin-cursed world q hope
that has been the sheet anchor of the
Christians faith through the centur-
