Edna Lucille LOOMS

Edna Lucille, the little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Perry Loomis, was born
in Lyons April Fl, 1916, and died
March %, 1917, aged IL months and
2 days, death being caused from con-
WILSON'S, her sickness lasting only
about two days, when death came as
a relief to the little sufferer. The
funeral was held from the home in
Lyons on Sunday afternoon, where a
great many gathered, old and young,
to pay their last respects to one whose
stay on earth had been so brief. A
very impressive sermon was given by
Rev. E. o. Coontz, who took his text
from the eighteenth chapter of Mat
thew, the fourteenth verse. "Does
Jesus Care" and "Safe in the Arms
of Jesus" were most beautifully rem
dereG by Rev Coontz and Mrs. Carrie
Rooney, with Viva Mulcahy at the or
gan. The heart-broken parents have
the sympathy of the entire commu-

She is Gone! But not Forgotten
The little crib is empty now,
The little clothes laid by.
A mothers hope. fathers joy
In deaths cold arms doth lie.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where our darling baby sleeps.
Lord! give us strength our loss to bear
And lead us in the heavenly way;
And may we meet our darling there
In realms of everlasting day.
Card of Thanks
We wish to thank all our kind neigh
bors, relatives and friends for their
kind words Of sympathy, to Rev. E.
0. Coontz for his words of comfort,
also to wooden mill employees who
gave the beautiful floral offering, to
the members of the A. G. church for
flowers given, and to all others who
in any way contributed deeds of kind
ness, in this, our heart-crushng be-
reayement.

THE BEHEADING OF SIR WALTER
RALEIGH.

Sir Walter Raleigh, the celebrated
adventurer, was beheaded 299 years
ago. IL was he who introduced the
potato into Europe and the use of to-
bacco among his country-men. The
Salanum tuberosum, which is the
scientific name of the tuber which is
now a staple article of diet in nearly
all civilized countries and which, since
the outbreak of the war has gained
tremendously in importance as an ar
ticle of food, especially in the central
empires, is supposed to have been ma
tive to Chile and Peru. When Amer
lea was discovered the vegetable was
grown in all the different parts of the
continent from Chile to New Granada
In 1885 potatoes were brought from
North Carolina and Virginia to Ire
land on the return of the colonists
sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh, and
were first cultivated on Sir Walters
estate near Cork The tubers became
so popular in the Emerald Ise that the
common variety of potato is now
usually called Irish"

THE HOUSE OF GOLD.

Solomon thought lot Of his golden
temple, but never in the worlds his
tory has there been such a quantity
of gold under one roof as is stored in
the United States subtreasury in Wall
street.
The gold of England has been flow
ing in our direction for several years,
and 1t seems to be stored nowhere to
the extent II is in that one building.
We are informed that a corridor in
the basement has been set off by steel
gates and the gold is stacked up like
bricks awaiting the hands of the ma
sons In one pile is i 200 tons of pure
gold. Each brick is worth about ST.
600 and the pile is worth more than
5000 900 ,000-which is considerable
money to be in one pile. In a neigh
boring vault are S6,000000 silver dol
lars and overhead so many gold GER
tiflcates that a miser," according to
a Wall street writer, allowed to run
them through his fingers, might easily
die of ecstacy before he finished with
the yellow certificates contained in a
single one of the many steel cham

NEuTRALS GROW RICH.

Just how the war is enriching some
of the neutral" countries may be
judged from the reports of the ten
leading banks of Christiania, Norway.
During the first half of 1917-follow-
ing the entry of the United States into
the war-the deposits received by
those institutions amounted to $751;
100000 or 43 per cent more than for
the corresponding months of 1916.
New corporations numbering 2SS were
organized in those months with COM
bined capital of $24,OOO,O00, while
ninety-seven old corporations in
creased their capitalization by s16,-
100000 Neutrality is a good thing for
some of those little nations-but Uncle
Sam has his weather eye upon them,
II they get to sending too much food
and fodder across to Germany the
supply will stop altogether.

WHERE BOLO'S THOUSANDS
WENT.

What became of that s50,000.00o
Bernstorff received and used in
America?
Well, the natural assumption is that
it was put to work and that some Of
it is still working.
Want to see it work? Watch the
pacifist movement Watch the pro-
-Socialist-pacifist propagandist

Watch the American Bolsheyiki OPP
crate. camoufaged under various
high sounding peace organizations.
When you read about Bolo Pasha
and his s1,70O,O0O fund to corrupt the
French press, keep in mind that there
are a lot of Bolos at work right here
and now.
Breeding disloyalty is the work Of
The Bolos. Preaching peace at the
hours when every word spoken for a
premature peace is giving aid and
comfort TO the arch-enemy of perma-
nent peace.
Every utterance for premature
futile, ineffective peace. peace short of
destruction of Prussian militarism, is
blow at freedom and democracy in
Russia, in America and in the entire

The Power of Sincerity.

Though a man must be sincere in
order to be great, he need not be
great in order to be sincere. What
ever may be the size of our brain, the
strength of our powers, the talents of
any kind with which we are gifted
sincerity of heart, or belief, or life is
possible to us all. 1t is of itself q
kind of greatness which, in spite of
many other drawbacks, will make it.
self felt. The honest, upright man,
who lives openly, fearlessly, and
truly, processing only what he feels,
unfolding only what he believes in,
pretending nothing, Disgusting nothing,
dcceiving no one, claims uncon-
sciously a respect and honor that we
cannot give 10 any degree of power
or ability welded with duplicity or
cunning. If we could correctly di-
vide the world into the sincere and
the insincere, we should have a much
truer estimate of real worth than we
generally obtain. 1t is the fashion to
gauge people by what they believe,
rather than how they believe it. Yet,
important as is the former, the latter
is much more so.-Exchange.

BIG GUNS ARE STRENGTHENED
One Hundred and Seventeen Miles of
Steel Wire Is Wound Around a
Twelve-lneh Weapon.

No fewer than 11S miles of steel
wire are wound on a 12-inch gun that
weighs 1914 tons, says a writer in the
Mitigate Monthly. In appearance, this
wire, which is of the same quality as
piano wire, resembles tape; it is one
quarter of an inch wide and one-tenth
of an inch thick. 1t is tested to q
breaking strength of IL tons. The
wire unwinds from u reel as the gun
barrel revolves, and tension of about
80 tons to the square inch insures me-
chanical accuracy In wrapping it round
the gun.
Various parts of the gun receive diff
ferent thicknesses of wire. AT the
breach of a Pinch gun, where the
chief strain comes, there are 90 lay
ers, which give thickness of nine ana
half inches of wire, but at the muz-
zle there are only IA layers. Over the
wire the gunmakers shrink on steel
rings at white heat. When they cool
they contract and grip with immense
force. The rifling of the barrel is an
automatic process-an example of
wonderful mechanical ingenuity. When
the gun is finished experts test the ac-
curacy of the rifling with plastic gutta-
percha.

GERMAN MONEY EMPLOYED.

over s2OO,OOOOOO owned by German
subjects in the United States will be
seized and invested in Liberty Bonds.
War materials, especially cotton,
worth many millions of dollars, will
be turned from German ownership to
Uncle Sam to use in prosecuting the
war Very probably the German sub
jects will get their principal back in
time but their financial loss will be
tremendous. Germany is a bankrupt
nation unless she wins the war She
can borrow nowhere except from her
own subjects. and these have the
choice of Smelling out or having their
property taken away from them. For
many months the safest place for
money of Teutonic investors was in
the United States. an enemy country.
Uncle Sam has changed all of that.

STRONGHOLD or THE BEAVER
Largest Colony in Existence Making q
Last Stand in Businesses of
Southern Rockies.

Far up in the Businesses of the
southern Rockies, hidden in one Of the
most inaccessible hooks that remain
In this country today, what is proba-
bly, the largest existing colony of beav-
er, has established itself for a last
stand.
The beaver was once one of the most
abundant of our American animals. but
the ease with which he was trapped
and the value Of his fur soon drove
him far on the road to extinction. Soon
only the most stringent of protective
legislation was able 10 save him, but
now he seems 10 be coming back, "
and wherever he finds favorable To-
cation he increases rapidly.
There is no better place in the world
to study the interesting habits of this
little animal than in that little hidden
mountain valley just south of the Col
orado line which the Mexicans have
christened "Lagunitas" and the Ameri-
cans call Beaver Lakes" The valley
nestles against the very backbone of
the continental divide, 10000 feet
above sea level, and from every side
II is approachable only Y long and
toilsome forest travel, except in win
ter, when it is not approachable at all.
The hollow in the mountains crest "a
dotted with irregular rows and minia-
ture ranges of hills, two and three
hundred feet high, that make up a
most bewildering topography.
In among these hills the beaver have
built them a city. The landscape is
ideal for the building of their dams.
and by throwing barriers of stick and
mud from hillside TO hillside they have
created dozen big lakes, some of
them half mile long. Along the
shores of these lakes are built the
beavers lodges. There are probably a
thousand beaver in this community,
reigning in undisputed supremacy over
their mountain domain. They are shy
brutes, but very early in the morning
and just at sunset you can often sur
prise them cutting the quaking aspen
on the bank with their chisel teeth or
plastering away industriously at one
Of their elaborate dams.

FIRST ATTEMPT.

The first attempt to cross the At
lantic in a modern airship came to a
failure seven years ago, when Walter
Wellman, Melvin Vaniman and their
four associates, were picked up at sea
by the Bermuda steamship Trent, after
their aerial craft, the America, had
been caught in a storm and blown
from it's course. Previous unsuccess-
full attempts had been made to cross
the ocean in balloons, but the Well
man expedition was the first to try the
feat with an airship. Melvin Vani-
man built another airship some time
afterwards and was killed when it ex-
ploded Wellman had the distinction
of sending the first wireless message
ever dispatched from an airship in
flight and of being the first wrecked
airman to be rescued by a ship at sea-
The America at that time set a new
record for time in the air in any aerial
craft, except drifting balloon,
seventy-one and half hours.
What's the use of elections anyhow?

GOING NORTH TO GET
ACQUAINTED.

The Southern Commercial Congress
has been in session in New York City.
A few weeks ago the International Dry
Farming Congress met in Peoria The
country is getting acquainted. TAX
ing the Southern Commercial Con-
gress north for a session promotes a
better understanding of the purpose
of the Congress and its economic in
fiuence beyond the South. Taking a
dry farming Congress to wet farm
ing State, so to speak, is educational
and points out new opportunities for
men of small means unable to secure
land in territory of high values. It is
a good thing to move aroundS and
shake hands.
