The death angel has visited the home
Of MIR. and Mrs. William Morris. and
claimed for its victim their darling
daughter, Rebecca. twelve years old,
who died SATURDAY. April IL, 1917. She
was i'll only short time with pneu.
monia and God released her from hei
pain and took her to live with Him.
So weep not loved ones. weep not foi
her. for our loss is her eternal gain.
We cannot realize now. why one SO
young and with such bright prospects
should be taken just in the bloom OF
youth. but we feel that Christ selects
the ones for his city just as we would
pick boquet of choice flowers.
Farewell dear Rebecca thou hast
left us.
Here thy loss we deeply feel.
But it was God who has bereft us.
He can all our sorrows heal.
He will all our troubles bear.
He indeed will help US.
If we trust him in despair
He alone our sins will bear.

ITO The Farmers of Garrard County,
! have been recently appointed BY
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
and the fiscal court of your county has
ratified the appointment as County
Agricultural Agent of Garrard. APP
preciate the honor of being selected to
serve in one of the richest counties in
the state and ! earnestly desire to do
all that can for the farmers of the
county. My work is purely advisory
and there will be no attempt made to
push the work upon anyone who does
not feel in need of it.
| | am deeply aware of the fact that
upon the farmers of America rests the
sponsibility for successful termina-
ton of the war. This President Viii.
son has very clearly brought out in his
recent address and hope that Garrard
County will play no mean part in the
furnishing of food stufrs to the world.
! earnestly hope the farmers will en-
courage their sons to join the Boys
Agricultural clubs which are now be-
ing formed IN order that even the boys
of the county can do their bit" for
America.
The Government requires that
spend the greater part of my time in
the county visiting the farmers on their
farms. On Saturday of each week how
ever will be in Lancaster and would
be glad to meet the farmers of the
county who do not understand the
work and talk things over with them. 3"

CLEAN UP DAYS.

Ii is earnestly urged that every one
remember that the City Cleanup days
begin this week and continue turnout
next week and if the trash il not haul
ed away by that time it will be taken
as tastes the city wagons can do il.
Be sure to put all trash in barrels or
receptacles of some kind, as that will
give the wagoners an opportunity to
work faster. They can pour the refuse
into the wagon, or else carry IT OF in
the containers. All householders should
observe this rule as the city only
pledges itself to haul trash away free
of charge when it is arranged in
receptacles. BE sure ard have the con-
talnors on the street on the days named
so that the wagons will not have to
double back over the same ground to
take away trash. While the citizens
have heretofore responded to the call
to clean up thoroughly it is especially
urged that they will make an extra eff
fort this year to make our town both
clean and beautiful. The reason of this
$ that an official tour of inspections
will be made Of the city afterward to
see how the order to clean up has been
obeyed. SO each one should see that
his premises are free from trash and
old tin cans and rubbish of all kinds
The Civil; Department of the woman
club is very much in earnest this year
and every nuisance will be reported to
the health officer who will cooperate in
having hogs moved out of town, stables
and out houses cleaned.

Seed can he sown In the hotbed before
the snow is OFF the ground. and the
plants will have from four to six
weeks start when warm weather comes
IN the spring. by this means the vege-

PREPARE FOWLS FOR MARKET
All but Likely Looking PuIlets Want.
ed for Winter Eggs Should Be
Separated and Fattened.

The early-hatched chicks are near
ing the marketable stage. All but the
likely-looking pullets. which II is de-
sired TO retain for early winter lay
ers, should be separated from the
flock and prepared for market. To
fatten them so that the muscles will
be soft and teLder, they should be
confined in small pens or fattening
crates for two or three weeks before
they are killed and sold. Chickens
weighing from three TO four pounds
each. that are thrifty and of good
breeding, should make most profitable
gains.
Fattertns crates are usually made
@ feet long, u 10 20 inches high and

The Stats on the bottom are placed
three-fourths inch apart, to allow the
droppings to fall through. Care should
be taken not to have the first bot
tom slat at the back fit too closely
against the back or the dropplngs will

have captured Tucker Jibbey. and that
means fuckers father; and my IA
ther-well. when II comes to the
worst. my father always does what I
want him to. It's his one weakness"
For one little instant Smith felt the
solid ground slipping from beneath his
feet Here was way out, and his
quick mentality was showing him that
II was a perfectly feasible way. As
yerda Richlander's husband and Jo-
siah Richlander's son-in-law. he could
fight Dunham and win. And the re-
ward: ohce more he could take his
place In the small Lawrenceville
world, and settle down to the life Of
conventional good report and ease
which he had once thought the acme
Of any reasonable mans aspirations.
But at the half-yieldlng moment n
word Of Corona Baldwin's flashed into
his brain and turned the scale: at
did happen In your case CIV
ing you chance to grow and expaSd.
and to break with all the old tradi-
tions and the break left you
free to make of yourself what you
should choose" 1t was the reincar-
mated Smith who met the look in the
beautiful eyes and made answer.
"No." was the sober decision; and
then he gave his reasons. "If l could
do what you propose, shouldn't be
worth the powder II would take to
drive a bullet through me, verda, for
now, you see, know what love means.
You say have changed, and have
changed: can imagine the past-and-
gone ]. Montague jumping at the
chance you are Offering. But the mill
win never grind with the water that
Is past: I'll take what Is coming to me,
and try to take II like man. Good
highland good-by." And he turned
his back upon the temptation and
went away.
Fifteen minutes later he was in his
Office In the Kinzie building, trying In
vain to get Colonel Baldwin on the
distance wire; trying also-and also
In vain-to forget the recent clash and
break with Verda Richlander. He
was juggling the switch of the desk
phone for the twentieth time when a
nervous step echoed In the corridor
and the door opened to admit William
Starbuck. There was red wrath In
the mine owners ordinarily cold eyes
when he flung himself into chair and
eased the nausea of his soul In an out
burst Of picturesque profanity.
"The jig's up--defnitely up. John."
he was saying. when his speech be-
came lucid enough to be understood.
1--WE know now what Stanton's other
