There are those who hurl insult and rldicule at our President for his 'Watchful waiting" and lament at be- ing Americans, so ashamed they are at our "dishonorable delay in going to war"-when the country is in fact hardly prepared to quell a riot. There are those who pretend to belieev that disarmament and absolute helplessness to defend our country against those who are "watchfully waiting" with open mouths and glaring eyes for just a chance to step in and take posses sion, will bring peace" to the world. And there are those who blame the President for not being an ally to the Kaiser, by aiding him to starve the allies and prevent them from getting munitions to defend their homes (the Kaiser not needing to buy, though with the same right to do So).
 There are those who see in prepared ness only the making of firearms, sub marines, battleships and aeroplanes. While such things are absolutely es- sential, if we want peace with the world and mean to keep it, the prepar- edness which will count most after all, but which will be, perhaps, the last thing considered, is the prepared ness of our native citizenship and the mobilization of our home industries. The time has come when it is of vital importance to look to this fundamental work of developing our made in Amer ica men and women and our made-in- America products for their use. Why should our American women spend fortunes upon foreign made clothes and allow foreign dressmakers, tailors and milliners to decide what they shall or shall not wear? Where is the Amer ican spirit of patriotism and independ- ence? Why not patronize the tailors and dressmakers at home, set our own style. create our own values and be proud in doing so? If our women would just try for chance the sensation of pride that should thrill them when gowned in made-in- America silk, satin, lawn, 1aces, cloth, including the beau tiful hand-women homespunS which our southern women wore with such pride in the ffties!
 National patriotism would be stimulated

Obituary-AIrs. o Minnie l.. Woodward
Death has again robbed our city
of one of our most esteemed and
valuable characters, a beloved wife,
an affectionate mother, a devoted
sister and an energetic worker in
church, social and fraternity circles.
Mrs. Minnie Woodward died at her
late home on North East Eighth
street, Abilene, Kan, Sept. 3, 1916,
leaving her husband, s. F. Wood
ward, and two daughters, and one
son, Mrs. Irene Myers, Inglewood,
Calf; Miss Frances Woodward and
C. H. Woodward of Abilene to mourn
her departure.
Minnie Louise Hodges was born
in Lansing, Mich. January /, 1871,
and came to Kansas In 1879 with
her parents and settled at Wakeeney
and in 1889 she united in marriage
with Mr.. Woodward and in 1902
they came with their little family to
Abilene and have grown into the
activities of this community with
favor and esteem.
Mrs. woodward was a member of
the Lutheran church and active in
all public works. She was a mem
ber of the Fraternal Aid Union and
took active part in its work. Her
social and fraternal activity found a
wide range in the order of the East
ern Star Of which she was a past
matron and a worker of most eff
cient character. being tireless in
social and benevolent activities.
Mrs. Woodward was Of a strong
mind and positive convictions and
Abilene weekly reflector., 1916-09-07

when she saw a work to be per-
formed she threw her whole soul
into its performance. She was a
model wife and homemaker and the
sympathy of the whole community
goes out to the bereaved family. A
great loss has been sustained by the
whole community as shown by the
floral tributes and the large con-
gregation assembled at the funeral
services held at the home and at the
Lutheran church on September s.,
1915.
The church services were con-
Quoted by the Rev. F. S. Blayney of
the Presbyterian church, a long
time friend of the family and grand
chaplain of Kansas, who took as
text the beautiful passage from II
Corinthians, Chapter 1, verses 3-5,
and drew from it the consolation
needed in the hour of sorrow.
The Eastern Star then took charge
and at the cemetery rendered the
beautiful memorial services of that
order. The grand matron, Mrs. Will
son, of Salina had charge and led
the services in a most appropriate
and sympathetic manner. The Luth-
eran choir rendered appropriate mu-
sic at the church and the fraterni-
ties attended in a body, showing a |
tender regard for their departed
sister.
Thus was laid to rest worthy |
Christian woman and a long time |
friend of wide circle of friends
and neighbors. May the blessings Of |
God rest upon the afflicted family |
and all the wide circle of sorrowing
friends $50
