OBITUARY

George L. Bross, son of Christian
and Josephine Bross, was born Oct
81, 1869. He was one of family of
eight, one of whom, together with the
father and mother, have preceded him
in death. In early life he made a pro.
fession of religion, joining the Luth-
eran church, and later uniting with the
Methodist church and lived the full
measure of his profession, often re-
peating "My cup is running over" un-
til the hand of death was laid on him.
On Oct. 21, 1896, he was united in
marriage to Carrie Probasco. To this
union four children were born, one OF
whom, together with the mother and
wife, survive him.
On July ?, 1916, at the age of 46
years, s months and IL days, the
Master called him and he peacefully
stepped across the dark river OF
death to brighter world beyond. HG
leaves a wife, one son, two brothers
four sisters and host of friends to
mourn the loss of an affectionate hus.
band, kind father, loving brother,
and an obliging neighbor.

ed at the M. f. church at Danville by
his pastor, the Rev. Bender of Democ,

So the multitude goes like the
flower and the weed,
That wither away to let others
succeed.
To the life we are clinging to,
George too did cling,
But it sped from the earth like
bird on the wing.

NICKELS
NOW WORTH SIX cENTs-HoLD
ON TO THEMl-BIe BOOST IN
METAL VALUE.

The European war has boosted the
actual value of the United States s.
cent piece to six cents.
Since the war the value of nickel
has gradually risen. This increase
has been due to the great demand for
the manufacture of ammunition and
weapons.
When the world was at peace there
was actually about l IA cents worth
of nickel in every fivecent piece. The
metal value of the piece increased as
nickel became scarcer, until the
worth of the metal has increased
about 500 per cent and now makes
the value of the metal in the coin
20 per cent greater than its currency
value.

In effort to gain political advantage
from mobilization at Columbus, Cover
nor Willis has let himself in for some
very severe criticism. This, from the
Newark Advocate, is a sample:
"Two items of news from Columbus
are calculated to cause the light-mind
ed to smile and the iudicious to grieve
zone Of these items relates the vo
ciferous demand of Governor Willis
on the War Department that sleeping
cars be furnished the Ohio troops
when, if ever, they are ordered to the
border.
"The other of these items states
that Col. Hunter of the Regular Army
sent to inspect Camp Willis, found
whole companies and regiments OF
these same troops fed on mouldy
bread and other unfit food.
"The purchase of food and It's In
spection has, ever since the establish.
ment of Camp Willis, been under the
control of the Executive Department
of the State of Ohio, and 1t would
seem that our good young governor
would do well to remove the actually
existing beam from his own eye before
he busies himself about the mote that
may at some future time be in the eye
of the War Department.
"All those who enter the military
service necessarily have to suffer some
hardships and inconvenience arising
from the exigencies of the service and
probably expect to do so, but they do
not expect to be fed on unfit and un-
healthNul food.
Sleeping cars are great conyen-
iences and comforts and we hope that
it may be possible for all our state
troops to be moved in them to the bor-
der, but no ones life or health is likely
to be destroyed by making that trim
in day coaches If necessary but the
result of eating unfit food is liable to
be serious to both life and health
~ is a disgrace TO the state of
Ohio that 1t Is necessary for the Reg
ular army officers to intervene to pro-
tect our own state troops, In our own

own state authorities, from suffering

Chickg mauga in 1893, which caused

RIVER BRETHREN
TO EMIGRATE TO
SASKATCHEWAN
Canadian Who Won Bride at
Grantham, Will Take Colony
Back With Him

When Archibald Carmichael returns
to his home in Kindersey, Saskatche-
wan, during the next few weeks about
two score fellow-members of the River
Brethren sect will accompany him to
the valleys of the Canadian province.
1t is understood, with the view of es-
tablFshing another little colony of the
people of that denomination in Can
ada.
Mr.. Carmichael got into print about
a week ago when he came all the way
from Canada to attend the annual
Bible conference of the River Breth-
rem at the Messiah Mission, Grantham.
Pa. That was Mr.. CarmichaeIs os-
tensible intention anyway. His real
purpose, however, was developed a
few days later at the Dauphin county
marriage bureau when he and Miss
RoXanna Anger, matron of the Mes
siah Home, called to get a marriage
license. They were married a day
later.
In various parts of the Saskatche-
wan there are many little colonies of
the peace-loving River Brethren and
Carmichaers stories of the Canadian
land of promise have been so glowing
that the people in and around Gran
than have expressed a desire to Jour-
ney into the domain of England's big
lighting colony.
