GLASS GIVES "$1" TRUE RING
Counterfeit Dollar Is Detected by New
Appearance and Twenty-Year-
Old Date.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Everyone
here is on the lookout for what is said
to be the most deceptive of silver dol
lar counterfeits that has appeared for
long time.
The counterfeit is said to ring
true but examination of one of the
dollars disclosed that this quality
was given to it by the use of glass.
The real point upon which detection
rests is the new appearance despite
the date of 20 years ago.

WARNING TO FARMERS

The prosperity OF this community
is very seriously threatened. Men
familiar with the situation give warn
ing that there will be a very short
corn crop, with thousands of dollars
lost to our farmers, II great care Is
not taken in selecting and testing the
best matured seed corn for this sea-
sons planting.
In order TO help our farmer friends
in the only way we can help them in
this matter, we are printing In this
issue of the Republican special IL
Illustrated article which thoroughly
covers the subject.
This article describes the danger.
tells what brought It about, offers a
remedy Tor a preventative in tested
seed corn. and shows the farmer how
to make the test at no expense. Be-
cause we want to see every one of oui
country friends simply bullying with
prosperity now and all the time, we
urge them to turn to BE Sure to Test
Seed Corn" and read 1t carefully.

TESTING SEED CORN FOR
THIS YEARS PLANTING

Earl Maharg and e. B. Thomas,
two young farmers of the community
who have given seed corn perhaps
more study and consideration than
any other two men in the county,
have about 500 to 1000 bushels of
1914 corn. This they are testing
out and grading with the intention oil
putting It ON the market. 1t Is well
known fact that last years corn crop
will not be any good for planting.
The farmer who wishes to raise corn
this year is going to be compelled to
purchase his seed from this years
planting. In the furnace room at the
home of Harvey Maharg they have
fixed a place where this 1914 crop
is being tested, tipped and graded. A
Republican representative visited
them yesterday and was shown the
thorough manner in which this seed
corn was being prepared. He was
convinced in minute that the men
knew their business and were endea
voring to place on the market an ar
ticle that was practically proof against
failure. They have the interests OF
their neighbors at heart and are Of
fering the seed corn at very mod.
crate price. In another column of this
issue of the Republican will be founa
an advertisement regarding the SAT-
OF seed to which We call the attention
of every farmer.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
MRS. II. G. PING

Mrs. r. G. Ping died very sudden
ly at her home in the east part OF
town about four O'Clock Saturday af-
ternoon. For several years she has
been afflicted with heart trouble and
when an attack came Saturday. the
attending physician assured her that
she would revive as the attack was
not as severe as she had endured
many times before. Her husband.
feeling that his wife was out of dan
ger, went up town to look after his
duties as janitor AT the court house.
Before he left his wife was given
stimulant from which she seemed
to revive. He had been gone but ten
minutes when she took a spell of
coughing and died within few ma
utes. II Is thought that the coughing
resulted in the bursting of blood
vessel. which together with the i'm
paired heart action brought on instant
death. Mr.. Ping was telephoned and
he returned to his home at once ac-
companied by the physician.
The sudden death was a severe
blow to the members of the family
and a shock to those near and deal
to her. She was such kind, loving
wife and mother that her devotion to
the family circle had no limit.
God touched her with His finger
and she slept" the poet wrote. So
may we say of her life God touch
ed her with His finger, and she
slept" but not until a beautiful life
was lived, noble example of pat
fence, fidelity to truth and faith was
given. And now that she sleeps, men,
DRY takes up the harp of life, and
shifting the strings, finds that hervir-
tues melt into music. So it ever is,
when life is nobly and divinely liv-
ed. She was woman of strong Chris
tian character, patient and self-sac-
rifieing.
Rella Bradley was born in Ken
tuckey November %, 1S45 and died
at her home January %, 1916. She
with her parents mover to Des Moin-
es county Iowa in 1855. Here she
was united in marriage to r. G, Ping
Jan. 3, 1867 and resided there until
1880 when they moved to Pottawat-
tamie county and lived there until
TO- WhCh thCJ N1AAC W SAuua0Shs
The family has resided here ever
since.
To this union six children were born
as follows: Mrs. Berthe Lee. of APP
pleton, Mimi; Curtis s. Ping. Chas
A. Ping. Mrs vidas Fredricksen and
Mrs. Bessie Conkhite, allof Audubon.
Milo j. Ping died few years ago.
All of the children are married but
Curtis and they together with the
husband. two sisters, one brother
ten grandchildren and three great
grand children are left to mourn her
departure.
Mrs. Ping united with the s. d.
Adventist church in this city on May
Is, 1887 and has remained, a true
and faithful member until the time
of her death. Funeral services were
held from the church Tuesday after
noon at two o'clock. conducted by

OBITUARY OF MRS. BRYANT

The Silver City, New Mexico, Emf
erprise contained the following con-
corning the death of Mrs. NJ A. Bry-
ant:
Death claimed one of Silver City
most beloved residents Tuesday ar
ternoon at AIS O'Clock, when Mrs.
Martha A. Bryant, aged "A years,
passed to the great beyond. Mrs. Bry-
ant had been i'll but few days, hav-
ing been sliced with an attack of
grip early in the week. Her condi-
ton early became critical and due to
her advanced age, she was unable to
resist the progress of the disease.
Funeral arrangements are held in
allegiance, pending the arrival of a
daughter, Mrs. w. w. Smith, of Iowa
who Is expected to reach the city Sat-
urday. 1t will probably be held Sun
day afternoon at O'Clock at the
j. M. Kiner home, sol North Billiard.
The body will be taken to Atlantic,
Iowa for burial.
Mrs. Bryant was born January 4,
l1S42 and was, therefore, "A years
of age at the time of death. Upon the
death of her husband in Audubon,
Iowa, a number of years ago, she
moved to Silver City, where her
daughter, Mrs. ]. NJ. Kiner, resides.
With the exception of few years
spent in Audubon, after her retire
ment from business, this has been her
home ever since.
Upon coming to Silver City Mrs.
Bryant engaged in the photograph
business and although she knew little
of the art when she started in and
was at an age in, life when most
people are thinking of laying aside
The burdens of lie instead OF seeking
new ones, she became an enthusiast
lie student and soon her work attract
ID statewide attention. she became
i Photographic artist of unusual abil-
.ty and samples of her work were oh
exhibition in the large national con-
yentions of photographers.
Mrs. Bryant retired from business
about 1904 and had since divided her
time between Audubon, Iowa, and
Silver City, in each of which places
she had daughters. She is survived
py one son, Thomas Bryant. genera
superintendent of the Maytag Manu-
featuring Company, of Newton, Iowa,
and two daughters, Mrs. j. M. Kiner,
of this city, and Mrs. w. w. Smith.
of Audubon, Iowa. A son, Bert Bry-
ant, died two years ago in Portland,
Oregon.
Mrs. Bryant was a woman of un-
usual strength of character, and
bright mentality, possessing these
twin graces in almost undiminished
brilliance. up to the time of death.
She was lovable woman with fund
of wit and humor, ever ready at her
command. Like most people gifted
with the saving sense of humor, she
took life seriously and the world as
but q big stopping place to help peo-
pie on TO the journey into larger
and better life, She helped others by
advice and deed and, her charity was
broad and deep. With qualities such
as these. 1t follows that Mrs. Bryant
had the love and respect of all who
knew her. for but TO know her was
to love her" :.

slept" Sweet be her Sleep
