In the spring of 1881 they moved
to Audubon county and located one
mile north of Hamlin where they con-
tinued to reside until April, 1900,
when the husband was called home.
Mrs Sizer was so mum attached to
the home place that It was her wish
to spend the remainder of her life
there. In order that her desire might
be gratified, her two sons and daugh-
ter, Clara, staid with her to keep up
the home she loved and to care for
her as long as she lived. Here In this
home she died April /, 1915. aged 81

live Christian life of faith in her
God, her personal savior and the home
beyond. Almost her last words were,
II shall soon be home" Mrs. Sizer
was woman who devoted her life
largely to her duties as wife, mother
and home-keeper, not forgetting to
cultivate kindly feeling for all peo-
pie. She was also one who got close
to the heart OF nature and loved the
outdoor beauties. During the past
months she has longed for the coming
of April with its birds and returning
verdure. Just as she was entering
into her favorite season she passed
into that eternity where all Is spring
time.
Among the bright days Of her life
that stand out from the others was
that of her seventy-ninth birthday,
when fifty of her near relatives came
from far and near to spend the day
with her and to do honor to one they
loved. During the last years Of hef
life she was almost helpless because
of physical infirmities, yet through II
all she was always cheerful and was
never known to complain of her own
troubles. Thus has lived and passed
away the life of q good woman whose
memory will ever be cherished by
those hiatt loved her.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church Tuesday afternoon
lat 2 O'Clock conducted by Rev. ]. H
Freedline of Guthrie Center, and a.
sisted by the local pastor, Rev. Jack
son Giddens. y

THE PRESIDENT PLEASES
GRAIN MEN WITH PLANS
Cooperation and Carriers the Only
Requisite for American Success
He Says.

Baltimore.-President Wilson deliv-
cred speech almost devoid of poll
tics before the National Grain Dealers
convention here Monday. Discussing
ways in which American commerce
can be expanded, he told an audience
of $500 people that through the new
tariff commission, the trade commits
sion, the federal reserve act, the ship
ping bill and similar measures, he ex-
pected business men in this country
to open up a new era for the nation.
Every effort was made by the pres
ident to keep the visit to Baltimore
nonpartizan, but when he entered the
Lyric theater for his speech he was
greeted with a four-minute demonstra-
ton which kept him bowling again and
again. A band playing Dixie and 9TH
er popular tunes added to the din of
the cheering and handclapping.
The theater was packed with grain
dealers from all parts of the coun-
try, and their friends. Many visitors
were turned away. American and
Maryland flags were used in the dec
orations. The president spoke en-
phatically, and several exclamation
points, usually missing in his address
ses, were found in the official copy of
his speech.

MOVIE SCENARIO
kidnaper of Edward cudahy il
Omaha Sixteen Years Ago,
Movie Writer.

st. Paul, Minn.-In an ordinary
back yard, surrounded by barking
dogs and yelping pups, nationally
notorious character is writing what
may prove to be an international sue
cess in the motion picture field.
The national character is none
other than Pat Grove, kidnapper OF
Edward Cudahy in Lmaha 16 years
ago. He is writing a motion picture
scenario at the home of Thomas 10
bin in st. Paul.
Tobin hired Grove, once the win
ner of $4,000 in ransom, to feed and
take care Of 40 dogs at 81 a day and
board.
With the noise of the dogs ringing
in his ears, Pat was spurred on to
write scenario that would be a
world beaten, one that would incorpo
rate his own exciting past, and be the
success of the season.

SAID TO HAVE MADE PROPOSALS
TO ENTENTE CAPITALS, BUT
GETS NO ANSWER.
HAS SENT TERMS TO ALLIES

ACCOMPLISHMENTS of Cabinet
Ready to Resign If the En-
tente So Wish.

Athens.-The Greek government is
said on the best authority to have
telegraphed definite proposals to the
entente capitals which, if accepted.
will mean Greece's entry into the
war. If the uncertainty of the rela.:
tions between Greece and the en-.
tente powers continues it is regard
ed as not improbable that Greece
may declare war on Bulgaria on her
own account.
Semi-official efforts of the cabinet
to ascertain from the entente min
listers here statement as to the de-
sires of the allied governments have
been fruitless. The ministers were
given to understand that as many as
three members of the Greek cabinet
were ready to resign if the entente
wished. The sole reply was that in
structions had not been received
