Though '.shut-in" for several years
Mrs. Byrns had wide acquaintance
and many friends who were benefit
ted by her CHEEKY philosophy and the
keen interest she felt in all that con-
cerned them and theirs. She read a
great deal, was well posted on all the
happenings and news of the day and
her spirit was youthful and her face
expressive of kind and beautiful
thoughts.
A few days before her death Mrs.
Byrns came across the following poem
in the Century:
"OLD"
(By Gladys Briggs Cluff)
l am lonely,

Trimmed with wrist frills of yellow

Nobody comes to see me but the years,

comes to see me but the year,.
In commenting on the heartbreaking
expressed in the poem. Mrs.
Byrnes said: II have not had to sit
with only memories for company here
in Delta. for the people have been so
kind in coming often to see me that
I have not been lonely and my room
has never been without flowers

lease during a recent trip to the east.

dred acres in spuds this year. He
had a big record breaking crop. He
is not selling his potatoes in New YoPh
lat a fancy price, owing to the small
Weld in all parts OF the country. He
says he can afford to retire on the
profits he will make from this single
crop. Such a combination of big acre
age, big yield, and high prices, do not
come often to any OF US. We know &

forty thousand dollars on a siXty-acrp
