THE WIMBLEDON NEWS?

The editor Of the Times-Record has
tried to be courteous to Editor Steffen,
of Wimbledon. We invited him to have
a Wimbledon section in our booster
paper in November which was one of
the prize winners in the statewide
contest. Instead he fatty refused and
got out the thing he called Ibis own
special" Another masterpiece of
news ink daubed on paper was the last
court calendar which he executed"
While we deplore controversy, 1t
is not reasonable that an uncalled for
attack should not be resented. We are
not concerned about what the Times
Record has been or what it has done
in the past. At the present time it
is turning out as good work as can be
found in the state. That the subscrip-
ton list is growing at a gratifying
pace attests to the way the paper Is
being received throughout the county.
Mr.. Steffen should remember that

OUGHT 70 Be DOING TIME

The clock, methinks, is a disgrace,
Although it seldom shirks,
It holds it's hands before it's face,
And then runs down good works.
It beats the seconds, strikes the time,
And has a shameful trick
OF showing impudence sublime
While running on on tick!

Gone. but Not Forever j"

Little Ralph. one of the beautiful twin babies. that came to bless the home of Mir, and Mrs. Mark John- son on October 9. 1915. was trans planted to happier cline Septem- Der l6. 1916. How strange are Gods works. yet how tender. Little Ralph stay on this earth was short, yet God spared him to en- twlne himself around the hearts Of not only his parents. but every one that knew him. All of his lit tie life he seemed the emblem of purity and love, and he was never happier than when he was being cuddled close in some ones arms. and his mouth was ever ready for the shower of kisses his loved ones pressed upon his lips.
 Little Ralph budded in this life to blossom in Eternity. Heaven is made up of babies snatched from their mothers arms, and God has planted the fairest flowers there to bloom and make heaven the sweet CT. Beyond the shadows, above the dark storm cloud, in that sinless realm, dear friends. you'll press your darling to your heart again. God gave you two precious souls and he claimed little Ralph that you might be parents to an angel, and as you press little Ray to your bosoms. God will help you to to raise him pure and innocent that he may inherit the Kingdom. and some day. he with little Ralph and form an unbroken chain around Gods throne God wept with those who weep and while we shed tears of sympathy. we can only say with the bereaved parents: Little Ralph. our hearts are broken How we miss our precious dear: Aet we know our little angel,
 Would not have us shed a tear. We know you're a link of the fam
 fly chain.
 Added to those who have gone
 before.
 So eoodby darling, dwell with Jesus
 Till we meet to part no more. In the arms of our Savior. we leave
 you to rest.
 Gntil God Himself shall come: To link us there to dwell with thee
 In that great Eternal Home.
 We'll plant the flowers on little Ralphs shrine at Pleasant Hill and We know that he dwells with Jesus beyond the stars, and we hear the angel voices saying, Yes, you'll meet again"
