by Justice Cation and her children
(three girls and a boy) turned over
to the manager of the Children's
Home, as the evidence in the case on
the following Monday morning, show

Mr. Business Man:

People are saying that THE
g GAZETTE is improving of
late. Have you been reading
it? Do you know that its cir
culation is mounting upward
each day?
No wise man neslects any
possible opportunity to increase
his business. The Gazette af-
fords you an opportunity to
increase yours. Are you avail
ing yourself of it? If not, why
not?
Possibly you may think the
Gazette can not be of use to
you. If you should say so, and
were right, then the several
hundred thousands of other
business men in this country,
who use their home newspa-
pers, as we ask you to use the
Gazette, are wasting their
money-a goodly number of
millions of dollars of it each
year-but we don't believe it;
neither do all those other,
business men.
Yours for Service

In sad but loving remembrance OF
GEORGE T. CRAVEN, who died
October 8, 1916, one year ago today
His we'll remembered footsteps
We are listening for in vain
And our eyes grow dim with watching
And our hearts are sad with PAIN
One sad year with all its changes
Since death strangely bade US part
But dear father all these changes
Cannot take you from our heart.
Can we help but feel so lonely
When his voice we do not near!
For no words were ever sweeter
Than the words he used to say.
