No one will make a mistake in voting
for him for the office of Commissioner
of Agriculture as against J. ]. Brown.
Again Commissioner Price is charg-

use his Office to help that organiza

and J. J. Brown wants the office OF
Commissioner of Agriculture. How

In one of the voting precincts in
Montana recently, a voter stopped to
ask w. C. T. u. woman something
about who to vote for. Another man
laughed at him and said: at appears
to me you wouldn't want to go to the

The other grinned good-humoredly,
was silent awhile, and finally drawled
in half-eomplaining voice: "Well,
sir, it just looks like I got started
wrong in life. The very first day /

she just simply nursed me and wash

IN MEMORIAM
Amanda Bullock Zewadsasi

Amanda Bullock ZewadaAd
We do not speak OF our personal
friendship and love for our beloved
dead. Ever since we became ac-
quainted with her, we have laid the
most beautiful flowers at her feet,
flowers that spoke of our love; our
recognition of her sanity life; our
appreciation of her wonderful powers
of endurance to accomplish a task
undertaken; our faith in her per-
formance of every known duty. Flow
ers that spoke to her of cur admira-
ton of her wifehood and motherhood.
But we speak of her as our CO.
worker, as one of the most faithful
women we have ever known; one that
when given task to perform, we
could dismiss it from our minds,
knowing that it would be done with
the utmost care. Gracious and gentle,
yet always firm when necessary. Our
beautiful offering of white carnations
that rested on the sacred door of her
abiding place, spoke to her weeping
friends of her pure life, and our great
love for her as member of our mis-
sionary society.
When God breathed into man the
breath of life, he endowed him with
all the attributes essential to meet
the life which God would have one
live. We need not enumerate-sufice
il to say that our beloved sister pos
sessed them all. Christian in spirit
and life; a loving wife; a mother than
whom none better; gentle in manner,
she fulfilled her mission, and went to
her heavenly home on the 5th day Of
October, 1916.
Well could she have said: "These
works of faith and labors of love,
these shall be my spices and per-
fumes. Enveloped in these, I would
lay me gently down, and sleep sweet
" in the beloved Jesus"
