shadow over our whole community when
il was learned she had died Saturday
morning. for most of her life had been
spent among US, and every heart was
touched with sympathy for the aged
parents and devoted sisters. Although.
for several years, she had been in de-
clining health, unlike many invalids she
was pleasant, cheerful companion.
entering into the joys and sorrows of
others with sympathetic interest.
While those who loved her cannot but
mourn her loss il is sweet to think of
her where pain and sorrow are unknown
and where her frail body will suffer no
more. Sunday. when she was laid
away to rest in our little ''city of the
dead" to her loved ones it was day of
weeping yet they could but realize that
to her il was morning of JOY when
her tired ewes opened on the Great
hereafter, beyond whose portals friend
ships fairest flowers ever bloom un-
withered by the frosts and where her
many good deeds will be garlanded into
a wreathe of flowers that will never fade.
/ During her life she loved flowers and
in her death she was surrounded BY
them. AS the floral offerings were beau
tiful and profuse.

GOOD ROADS and GOODRICH

American motorists will reap an i'm
mense benefit from approximately
$3.50. 900, 900 expended last year on high
way construction, said Mr.. E. C. Tib-
bits. Director of Advertising of the B.
f. Goodrich Co. The big national
highways Of which we have been read
ing so much, are in my opinion. only
the forerunners of a network Of good
roads that will have a tremendous ef-
feet on increased motor and tire sales.
Automobile owners should not overlook
the important part played bv the Good
rich Touring Bureau in promoting more
and better highway building. Tire
owners will realize tremendous
amount of additional mileage per cas-
ing this season due to good roads.
While this big saving will come to the
tire owners individually-tire sales will
increase materially. nevertheless, on
account Of the new fields opened up and
the increased sale of automobiles.

Remember Perry Thompson, who
was a brother of Mrs. Opha Watkins
and kid in school in Oskaloosa along
in the nineties? He was a member
of o. H. S. class 'O2, but did not
graduate. He left school for other
activities and the present day finds
him at the head of an extensive studio
in Chicago.
Perry E. Thompson
illustrator and Cartoonist"
is the legend one encounters at the
entrance to the artist quarters at No
sos North Dearborn street and a busy
place it is. Mr. Thompson has a di-
versified following and he is finding
an eager market for his ideas, which
are snappy, original, artistic, and yet
in full keeping with the trend of the
times.
Last fall, October 1915, a new popu-
lar boys magazine was being organ

magazine of the Lone Scouts of

Going back to the time when Perry
was a kid He joined Company F and
went with Captain w. n. Heating to
the Philippines where he deported
himself in excellent, soldierly fashion.

about three years with the Chicago
Art Institute, working in the mean
while with the United States Express
Company by way of obtaining a meal
ticket and paying room rent.
Mr.. Thompson has been launched
upon professional work five years,
three of which he has been with the
w. D. Boyce Company as illustrator
and cartoonist and two as a free
lance" doing advertising and CONNER
cial illustration, and he is now in de-
mand
But Perry has a prolific pen and his
name has found its way into many
places He is a regular contributor
to Life" and has served numerous
news and cartoon syndicates. He has
been called to the field of the daily
cartoon work and comic illustration
but has SHE'D at the offers, however
tempting, because his aspirations have
been in another direction.
Something of Mr.. Thompson's work
has been seen in OskalOosa, at the
movies but we did not know it. When
you laughed at the animated car
tOons' shown on the screen you had
little idea that an OskalOosa boy was
contributing to your pleasure and en-.
tertainment. Mr.. Thompson was the
first American artist to develop the
animated film cartoon and he did
work for the Seligs and several others
OF the big film concerns. His success
in this field was as marked as that in

Perry is a busy worker. The Herald
is privileged to furnish a portrait OF
him at his studio engaged with his
pen. He has won a success that is
writing his name in high places and
old time friends and acquaintance
here are proud of him.

ed once and much of it the second
time. The replanted corn is up and
shows good stand generally. All
small grain, grass, potatoes and gar
den truck are doing well. Glover and
early potatoes are in bloom and oats
