After the great tabernacle cam
paign we should come back to our
own churches with renewed vigor for
the services there. After so many
souls have been born into the king
dom there should be greater days
ahead for the Masters church. Re-
member that the church is for the
people, it's services are agencies Of
grace. May the new converts who
have signed up for membership with
us find a home among us and may the
older christians do their part in max
ing these feel at home.
Remember the get-together SER
vices tonight and Saturday night.
Come and let us talk it over together.

Mrs. Richard Meek.

Last Tuesday, April IL, death visit
ed the home of Richard Meek Of
Eden Prairie and called away his
wife, Mary A. Meek, who was 80
years, | month and 13 days of age.
Mrs. Meek had been sick and bed
fast since November, suffering much,
yet patient in her suffering, always
thinking of others before herself.
She often expressed a desire to de-
part from this life.
Mary A. Kemp was born at Wash
ington, Penna., Feb. %, 1886. She
moved with her parents to Cincin-
natl when child and from there to
Decatur county, Iowa, when a young
lady. She was married to Richard
Meek in July, 1860. To them were
born five children, Melvin of Rock
Island, Tex, George and David of this
place, Philip of Olympia, WASH, and
LAME Laney of Covington, Ind. These
with her husband survive her.
She united with the M. e. church
when a young woman. After her
marriage she united with the Eden
Prairie church of Christ. She con-
tinued faithful to the Lord, rendering
much service, with her husband, as
active members of the church and
leading all their children into the
faith of Jesus. Mrs. Meek lived and
died in the Lord, and rests from her
labors of life. We sorrow, but not
as those who have no hope.
The funeral services were held
April 10, 1916, at the Eden Prairie
chapel, where she so often worship
ped. VIM. ]. Campbell of Davis City,
gave an appropriate talk on the Res
direction. The body was inferred in
the cemetery nearby. Her husband,
though poorly, was able to be at the
funeral. The children, except Melvin
and Philip, were present, also her
brother, Andrew Kemplof Des Moines
and her sister, Mrs. Blair of Van
Vert. These, with large number OF
sorrowing relatives and friends, fol-
lowed the body to the cemetery
where they laid it in it's last resting
place.

Il. Il. Fetty.

Bert Lee Fetty was born January
Is, 1888, and died at his home five
miles south of Davis City, April 5th,
1916, aged 33 years, 2 months and ~
days.
He leaves to mourn his loss wife,
his parents and four brothers and one
sister, Oliver L., Lorn S., Norman L.,
and George o., and Mrs. w. A. Hine
of Braman, Oklahoma, and all were
present at the funeral. Three sisters
and two brothers have gone to the
land of eternal rest few years ago.
On Feb. 4, 1914, he was married
to Cora Hagan, and to this union was
born one child which died in infancy.
Their married life was only two
years and two months, but it was a
happy one and full of prosperity and
happiness.
He was sick only about thirty-six
hours and his death was shock to
the entire community. The cause OF
his death was a ruptured liver.
A person could possess no purer
character than he and no more OF
true friends than he. His friends
were numbered by his acquaintance.
Funeral services were conducted
at the l.. D. S. church at Andover
and interment was made in Andover
cemetery and the services were con-

enyied by all other countries.

MI. Cosson spoke of the distinct
contribution that Greece, Rome,
France, Germany, and England had
made to the race, but said he, Ameri-
ca has all of these fundamental prin-
ciples as beneficiary to her people
and makes her the melting pot of ma
tons, out of which loyal American
ism is created. Three great prob
lens before America are temperance,
equality and social liberty. He said
that the drink bill of the United
States was 2,5OO,0OO,0O0 and the
criminal prosecution resulting there
from was one billion dollars and the
cost of the association evils of the
saloon was $5O0,000,00O more; maxi
ing total cost to this government
Of 1000 That being $40
per capita and 5000 for every family
in the United States. He also said
state prohibition for Iowa was not
settled. as some would have the peo-
pie believe and cause them to suppose
it was not an important issue today.
Mr. Cosson also argued for woman
suffrage and said only by giving wom-
an the ballot, could we hope to have
equality in this country of boasted
freedom. He urged the securing OF
this equality for woman at the pri-
mary next June. He said that how
ever great our country, yet it is not
to be compared to the greatness Of
human beings and that the cause Of
humanity is our greatest consldera-
ton. That will be the abOlishing OF
wars and enthroning Of humanity,

TO GATHER MORE DATA
City to Submit Additional Arguments
in Support OF HarbOr.

Further information which it is
believed will convince the board of
engineers of the war department that
the Olympia harbor project is a
worthy one and should receive the
government aid asked, will be gath
cred by the tructees of the local
Chamber Of Commerce.
The engineers informed the board
Monday that in their opinion addi-
tional improvement of the harbor is
not warranted at this time, but gave
the city another opportunity to pre-
sent it's claims before June IL and
also offered to conduct a public hear
ing upon the project this summer.
The trustees, at a special meeting
Monday evening, voted to take action
at once to gather additional informa-
tfOn upon the chief points involved in
the improvement, and also to arrange
for the public hearing.
