Our hands have clasped the last time ever,

This parting fills my heart with pain.
You ask, and freely forgive you;
The happy past / can't forget
And though l wander on in sorrow,

And wonder if Tn dead or living;
Perhaps I'll think the same of thee.

EYE WITNESS OF CYCLONE IN
TENNESSEE TELLS OF STORM

Mrs. C. A. Parks of this city re
ceived letter from her husband
who was at Lyersburg, Tenn, at the
1 time of the cyclone there. He says:
II heard a roaring like the rum
bling OF half dozen freight trains
coming towards the house Looking
out of a window | saw people run
ming like mad up the street. The
roaring noise became louder and up
'on going out on the back porch |
saw a great cloud of whrling smoke
dragging the ground and carrying
large trees and objects OF all kinds
Il went outside and started down
the street but hail, the size of my
fist, drove me back into the house.
1t lasted about two minutes and then
went out to see the damage done.
The first thing saw was four dead
people, three lying flat on the
ground, and one sitting up with the
whole side of his face caved in. One
little girl was dead and we discov-
cred that practically all the bones
in her body were broken. Most of the
dead and injured have been removed
but huge trees and buildings still
lay scattered over the ground"

Topeka State Journal: The state
board of health will investigate re.
ports of an epidemic of measles in
Herington. Reports received in To-
peka this week indicated thirty
deaths in the Dickinson county town
as a result of measles. Either re-
ports have been exaggerated or To-
cal physicians have failed to make
reports as required by law
Dr. ]. J. sippey of the state de-
partment will probably go to Her

cation Lexington papers this week
announced several deaths from mea-
sizes and news was given concerning
other serious cases. Should the in
vestigation show local physicians

IN making reports the state depart |
ment viii probably direct prosecu-
lions. The law is emphatic concern
ing the duties of attending physi-
clans and reports sent to the state
board do not convey facts given
thru the press. Reports for April
showed one death from measles,
with no report available for May.

THIEVES DRIVE AWAY FORD
CAUGHT IN OKLAHOMA

A Ford was stolen from the streets
of Harrington about $3.50 Saturday
evening Two white men and one
colored man sprang into the car and
drove away with it. They could not
make much Roadway because of the
muddy roads, so that they tried to
sell the Ford to a farmer near the
state line the next morning. The
farmer was thinking quite favor
ably of buying the car until he
asked to see the engine. The men
refused and Immediately drove
away. This aroused the suspicion of
the farmer and he telephoned ahead
to nearby towns.
When the thieves drove into Med
ford. Oklahoma, the sheriff of Grant
county arrested them. At first they
plead not guilty Yesterday they
we're brought to the county Jail here,
the two white men pleaded guilty.
The colored man will stand trial No
definite time has been set for the
trial.

CONSUMPTION Here Pleases Allies
That the CONSUMPTION system
adopted by this country is the only
sane system by which to recruit a
stalwart army, Mr.. Gaylord said, is
freely recognized abroad.
when the history of this war is
written said Mr. Gaylord there
will be pages devoted to acknowl-
edging the debt owed by Great Brit
ain and France to her women. They
realize what the conflict means bet
ter than this country ever can. They
have given freely of their sons and
are doing their part now while the
struggle is on.
THE Bible says For God so low
ed the world that He gave His only
hegotten son that those who be-
lieyeth on Him should not perish
but have everlasting life When this
history is written may it not be
said of the women of America that
they so loved Liberty that they, too,
gave their only begotten sons that
democracy should not perish from
he earth but would become univer-
sal everlasting.
THE war has brought about a
