Interment of Mrs. Ward.

Many in Oakland and its vicinity will
entertain q melancholy interest ia the
death last week at Cumberland, Mary
land, of Mrs. Frances Ward, Saturday
afternoon March 18th, 1917. The body,
accompanied by relatives and friends
from Cumberland. Keyser and other
points was taken to Piedmont for
burial in the family lot of the Piedmont
cemetery.
This brief writing is limo sense design
ed as an obituary or even a sketch of
the life Of this estimsble lady. but simp-
ly few observations from one who, in
his church relationship of Garrett
county, was privileged to know and
to revere her>fcr more than forty years.
Mrs. Ward was born in the year 1925,
and in most remarkably preserved
health with a clear command Of mental
faculaties attained the rare age of
ninety two years. Her memory was
rich as depository of events and oc-
currences covering long span in our
civil and religious government, lending
to her conversation the charm Of an
animated chapter from the history Of
far back time. She was an Episcopalian
literally versed in the practices of the
ancient church and cherised an unquali-
fled devotion and fidelity to its establish
ed doctrines. In a natural ordinance
of nature, many binding shadows fell
over so long journey, but none was
eyer permitted to dim or eclipse the one
Light of the World and in each afflic-
ton she sought strength and refresh
ment at the fountain of her Christianity
and bore up under the Christening rod
IN new born fortitude. The circle of
her acquaintance was very wide and
those in it, who knew her best, became
steadfast friends and admirers. Mrs.
Taylor Morrison, of Keyser, W. Va, is
one of her granddaughters.
The funeral services were conducted
in st. James church, of Westernport,
by the Rev. Mr.. Young of the Holy
Cross church, of Cumberland, assisted
by the Rev. MIR. Appleton of st. Mat
thews Parish. Oakland. Maryland. At
the termination of ritual, speculative
ly beautiful and surprising in solemnity
in an admissible departure from the
customs of this church as to funeral
sermons or orations but in acknowledge
ment of special blending of merit with
the occasion. Mr.. Young stepped to the
front of the casket and, battling against
deeply stirred emotions, paid timly and
impressive tribute to the life and loyalty
of this daughter of the church, mani
Testing the brightest qualities in the
closing hour, just as does the sun,
breaking through the clouds. display its
fullest glories in "a luminous setting,
He stated that, after an administration
of the last rites provided by the church,
just when the tide of life was in its
final throb. smile settled over the
face.
And, so it was, leaning upon the be-
levers staff and rod that had comfort
ed her, she bowed a submissive head
and passed the silent valley in peace.

From Denver.

LIMA A. DEsHoNG TRoGLER,
2905 W. Seventh Avenue, Denver,
Colo.-I am enclosing the where
withal to advance our subscrip-
ton two years. We arrived in
this city from our former home
in Mercersburg on the 18th of
March of last year, and, conse-
quently, have been here almost
a year. Before leaving Pennsyl-
vania | heard it said that it nev-
er rained in Colorado; but after
we landed here it just showed
and rained and the weather was
anything but agreeable until
May. AS far as the temperature
last summer was concerned, |
am sure it was just as hot as the
summers usually are in Pennsyl-
vania, although, Colorado people
claim that last summer was more
than ordinarily hot for this eli
mate.
Colorado is great Mecca for
tourists. 1t is estimated that
tourists spend not less than S5
millions of dollars in the state
every year.
Up to this time (January 23)
we have had twelve SHOWS in
Denver and we have had zero
weather during the last t wo
weeks. Withal, we do not have
sleighing SHOWS here like back in
Pennsylvania. haven't seen a
sleigh this winter.
One thing we do have-good
schools. Our twodaughters have
not missed a day of school this
winter, although there has been
quite an epidemic of grippe here.
The Health Departmentestimates
that there are 30, 900 cases.
Denver is a fine city, but old
Pennsylvania is plenty good
enough for me. l am always
glad when the day comes to get
the NEWS. | shall be pleased to
hear from any of my old home
friends any time they may feel
like writing.

FRATERNAL VISIT.
TWENTY-FIVE Members Of the Rays bill
Lodge, 20. O.. F., Spent last Sat.
urtay Evening ia This Ilace.

An event that afforded the
members of McConnellsburg
Lodge, |. o. o. F. much pleasure
transpired last Saturday evening
when they were visited by twen-
ty-five members of the Rays Hill
Lodge, and four members of
Harrisonville Lodge.
The visiting members came in
automobiles, and after being
guests of the McConnellsburg
Lodge at supper at the City Ho-
tel, at which a number of our
local members participated, they
assembled at the Lodge room on
Lincoln Way, where the usual
routine work of the Lodge was
disposed of. Adjournment was
then made to the Auditorium of
the public school building where
the initiatory degree was con-
ferred upon two local candidates
by the Rays Hill team, very much
to the pleasure of those who wit
messed the ceremony.
Rays Hill Lodge numbers about
seventy.fve members and has a
degree team of which it may we'll
be proud. The visit will have
much to do with bringing the
neighboring Lodges into closer
fellowship, and it will be inhuen-
tial in inspiring all the Lodges to
greater effort and appreciation of
the principles of the Order of
Friendship, Truth and Love.
The visiting members were:
C. R. Akers, Jesse c. Barton,
Bruce Barton, G. H. Barton, c.
H. Bottenfeld, E. M. Bryson,
Harry G. Clark, Jacob Clevenger,
Roy Duvall, T. E. Jackson, Earl

Some Obnoxious Laws.

Dear Editor:-I read with in
terest the article in the News
last week under the caption RE
peal Useless Laws" We as the
farmers of Fulton County would
be pleased if some of the laws
that we could name were erased
from the statute books. One
that is especially distasteful and
disadvantageous to farmers is the
Beef Act" a law denying the
right of cutting and selling beef
in small portions. This not only
works against the interest of
farmers, but against the interest
of the consumers. Many men
with large families and not too
great an income cannot well af-
ford to buy meat in large quanti-
ties. This disadvantage is espec-
tally felt in the markets of the
mining towns in our neighboring
county of Huntingdon. In going
into these towns with a load of
marketing, the farmer is con-
stantly confronted by requests
from men, women and children:
"Hey, John, Got any meat, to-
day."
Another law that might be
mentioned in this connection is
the law which seems to require
farmers to take out insurance for
the protection of their hired men.
1t has about come to that point
when farmers will inquire as did
the red man in the early days of
our history: Where are our
rights?"
Farmer.
