MRS. FERGUSON PASSES
90TH BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY

On May 18th "Aunt? Betsy Ann"
Ferguson was 90 years old, and she
had anticipated having all her de-
scendants present, but owing to scat
tered conditions of same the idea was
abandoned and only few of the near
ones were there.
At the noon hour at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. G. B. Perkins, of
Rural Route No. 5, the guests assem-
bled in the dining room, beautifully
decorated with ferns and SNOWFALL,
to partake of typical ferguson
dinner. Instead of the usual "bless-
ing" the following letter from her son,
DR.. J. H. Ferguson, of Colorado
Springs, was read:
"May 7, 1916.
"To My Dear Mother: | wish /
could be with you next Thursday, to
hug and kiss you, but | will be with
you in thought. / need not say, God
bless you, for Goa has blessed you,
is blessing you and will bless you as
long as you live, and will bless you in
the Spirit world. AS l look back to
the days of my first recollection of
you and bring to memory the days
and months and years on up to this
Goth birthday, you have been a good,
kind and loving mother to all your
children, without prejudice or partial
ity to any of them; always looking out
for the best interests of each one
81 have and do appreciate your
great love, and love you dearly in
return. What / have done for you in
sickness and in health is nothing
compared to what you have done for
me, in bringing me into this world and
caring for me until | could care for
myself.
"What little good l have done in
this world is due to the noble thoughts
and strong healthy mind and body
you gave me while | was forming and
growing in your womb.
mo other could have done more in
this world than you have done. Every
child you have ought to be glad to
bow at your feet and worship you as
the noblest mother on earth.
81 hope you will enjoy the day and
live to have ten more birthdays.
With my soul full of love for you,
| am your son,

One of the. most attractive novel;
ties that, has been seen here lately is
now on exhibition in the display win
dow at LaaiInan's Drug Store. To
outward appearance it consists of a
marble idisc, on which lies an simita-
ton cigar and four matches Sudden
" without the least. apparent reason,
the cigar and matches end themselves
up, remaining in that position for if
teen or twenty seconds, when they fall
on the disc and stay there for a sim
liar period. when they repeat their
agile performance, This little device
appeals to all, and someone is gene
rally standing before the window, or
on the inside of the store, trying to
unravel the mystery that appears to
veil the performance.
Some of our best people do not
wait for the fourth Of July before
using the same brands of patriotism.

brought out on each side, but the

Father Morgan Addresses Monday
Club

Mrs. M. P. Cayce was hostess with
the Monday Club last Monday after
noon with a number Of invited guests
to hear Father Morgan give a talk
on Shakespeare. The occasion was in
celebration of the tercentenary of
Shakespeare. While Father Nor
gan's reputation as an orator is we'll
know, nobody expected such rare
treat in the deliniation Of the charac-
tiers of Portia and Shylock, from the
Merchant of Venice" as we were
given. He illustrated Portia as the
ideal club woman, and remarked that
there is no more beautiful sentiment
in English literature than the Mercy
speech, and Shakespeare had honored
woman by giving it to her. He
paid high tribute to the Jewish ma
ton. He gave several selections by
Shylock in the famous trial scene and
thrilled his audience by his fervor.
Everybody enjoyed the occasion Mrs.
Robert Forsyth and Mrs. Genevieve
F. Logan served punch and waters in
the dining room.

Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, April 27.-Higher prices
on wheat resulted chiefly from an in
crease of adverse conditions for seed
ing the spring crop. The close. al.
though unsettled showed anet advance
or x % &c to il SIC. with May at $t.14h
and July at S1.l56l.15M. Corn gained
&c to 7s61c. and oats &c TO Tsc. nj
provisions the outcome varied from
&c to Csc decline.
Crop prospects clearly had the lead
today as the dominating influence on
the value of wheat. A general rush to
buy. which took place at the opening,
was mainly ascribed to further rains
in the Northwest and to reports of
foods in the same section. A circum-
stance which meant much in deter
mining the probable amount of the re.
luction OF the spring wheat acreage,
one estimate made the shortage 3,000.-
900 acres as compared with last year,
and exclusive OF Il big curtatlment in
Canada.
Reports of large sales to the sea
board lifted corn. 1t was said that at
Kansas City in tho last three days l..
100000 bushels had been disposed Of

paying prices equal to 9Oc per bushel

commented upon that the balance OF

did not seem to be affected by this
movement in Pure Oil. inasmuch as
all of them with the exception OF

A market IN the glass shares at
tracted a good deal OF attention. and
all the various Issues in this group
were brought into the dealings. An
ong them the Window Glass Machine
stocks, both common and preferred,
absorbed the larger amount Of the
transactions, which enabled them to
swing into higher levels. The common
