Elizrbeth Frances Woodland was

1916, being eight years and %
days of age. She was i'll for a
short while of that dread disease,
scarlet fever.
Elizabeth was the only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence
Woodland, with one little brother,
Harles, are left to mourn hep
early departure. She was the JOY
of her parents and her grand
mother, who shared largely in
her affections. She possessed an
intelligent mind and, being of an
affectionate disposition, she drew
many hearts. She attended Sun
day school, was a bright, attentive
pupil and was Gin her place
promptly. Her presence was like
a sunbeam, and we shall miss her
bright, sweet face in familiar
places, but we know she is in the
care of Him who said, Suffer
little children to come unto me
and forbid them not, for Of such
is the kingdom Of heaven" So
we rest in the assurance that we
shall greet this dear little one in
the home beyond the skies.-Mrs.

The Christmas Shoppers

See the Christmas shoppers shopping.
See them round the counters hop
ping,
Hardly stopping,
GayIy popping
Here and there and everywhere,
Picking bargains up and dropping,
Woolly lambs with ears a-fopping,
Dolls exceeding large and whopping,
Toys that last and games that
tear.
See them rush, their foreheads mop
ping,
As they hurry on their shopping,
Buying books for Tom and Willie,
Buying things exceeding silly,
Things that no one has use for,
Things that father must produce"
for;
With their endless lists clutched
tightly,
So that they may purchase rightly.
See them! Watch them, hipping,
hopping,
clipping, topping,
Never stopping,
Till they're dropping,
Worn with shopping,
And go homeward, worn and weary,
With sorry sigh, ooh, dear,
I forgot to buy a present
For my Cousins aunt-that's pleas
ant!
and I fear I made mistake
In those gloves for Uncle Jake.
P'raps a larger size he'll take!
I'll be happy when it's through,
For I'm tired out. Aren't your

How they come financial cropperS
Spending money that they need!
Do they like it9 Yes, indeed!
For it comes but once a year,
And they revel while it's here.

ARE HELD IN TURKEY
 BY NEW ORDER
Washington Is Indignant but Is Forced to Go Ahead With DeIiCaCy
 in the Matter.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-Word that the Turkish government has rescind- ed it's previous agreement to allow several hundred Americans to leave the Turkish Empire via Jaffa, has reached the State Department from Ambassador Ellus at Constantiuople.
 The ambassador was informed tha the Americans cannot be permitted to depart because of military neces- sity. It is not known what action may be taken in an effort to bring Turkey Co terms. The practical in- ternment of the Americans is a source of indignation to the govern ment. This is said to be an unprece' dented situation which will require most delicate handling.
 The exact number of persons af- fected cannot be learned The Amer ican cruiser Des Moines now at AL exandria. is due at Jafle shortly, where. after unloading Red Cross supplies, she had been. expected to take the refugees. It is understood now. however, that officers from the vessel will not even be allowed to land to investigate conditions.

IN UNITED STATES TO
 SOON BE ABOLISHED

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.--Officials of the Treasury Department who have had a hand preparing a report to Congress on the wisdom of abol- ishing the sub-treasuries have reach ed the conclusion that whenever Sec retary of the Treasury McAdoo rec ommends the subtreasuries will be abolished.
 There are nine subtreasuries in as many different states. That means that IS Senators will oppose any sug- gestion that these subtreasuries be abolished" said a treasury official today. "I do not believe that any special project of that kind can go through the Senate when IS Senators are opposed to it."
 The same official intimated that the report finally sent to Congress might be merely a description of the functions of the subtreasuries and not contain a recommendation of any kind.
