In MemOrium

In the passing from this value
tears to the great beyond few have
gone over more cherished and dearly
loved than Clarence Langford who
fell asleep in the Lord on Friday
night, November 9th.
His friends were legion for his
generous, loving heart made all he
knew his friends, from his highest
employer to his hunlest coworker
He was generous to a fault, often
denying himself that he might help
others. His place will long be missed
in this world.
Nursed faithfully by his loving sis
ter through a long spell of sickness
which he endured with the greatest
patience, his whole thought was
anXity that his sweet mother who
for many years has been a helpless
invalid should not be troubled, often
sitting the weary means of pain that
she might not hear them. He passed
away in the full communion of the
Catholic church and was laid to rest
on Saturday evening last, just as
the ,sun was dropping away in the
West. We laid him to rest close be-
side his brother while a crowd
thronged his grave and covered it
with beautiful flowers.
Loving, afflicted mother, your boy
is safe, with the everlasting arms
under him and the dew of perfect
peace forever on his brow. His
memory will be sweet to US all as
long as life lasts.
A FRIEND.

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
Calotabs, the New Nausea
less Calornel, Breaks Up a
Sever Cold Overnight.

last found a quick and dependable
remedy for colds and grippe. One
Calotab on the tongue at bed time
with a swallow of water,-that's all.
Next morning your cold has vanished
and your liver and entire system are
purified and refreshed without the
slightest unpleasantness or interfer-
ence with appetite, diet or work

that calomel is the best medicine for
colds, bronchitis and la grippe and
the first medicine to be given in
pneumonia and acute fevers. The
new calomel, Calotabs, is purified
and refined from all of the sickening
and dangerous effects and with the
medicinal virtues vastly improved.
Calotabs are sold only in origina;
sealed packages price 35c. Your drug
gist recommends and guarantees
them and will refund your money if
you are not delighted.-Adv.

Apalachicola Again Answers
Call of the President of u. S

Apalachicola, Fla, Nov. 13.-Apa-
lachicola, or her citizens, have again
como to the front in their demonstra-
tions of charity and patriotism. Hav-
ing answered the call for the first
Liberty Loan, they responded to the
Red Cross drive with the munificent
sum of $1700- Then Franklin county
volunteered SO many sons for service
that she was exempt for two drafts.
Now, 5000 is taken of the second
Liberty Loan, and when the commit
tee was notified of the Armenian and
Syrian relief, the thought Of solicit
ing again gave them pause.
Mr.. Fred Sawyer was chairman OF
the committee, and was ably assisted
by Mr.. Benedict M. Murphy, Mr.. Geo.
Marshall and Mr.. Harry Marks. Sat
urday, the 10th, being the first day of
the drive, bright and early process
sion Of automobiles tourned the town.
The cars were draped in Greek and
Armenian colors and bore signs to
the effect that the occupents were
out in answer to the Presidents proc
lamation.
Mrs. Will Sawyer and Mrs. Harry
Marks were chaperons to the ten
young ladies, who, in Syrian cos
tunes, occupied the cars. These
young ladies made a thorough can

MYSTERY NEAR 0sSIAN
HOME OF ANTON BECKER rs
SCENE OF MYSTERIOUS
HAPPENINGS.
Home Entered, Articles Stolen, and
Warnings Left, Written on
Scrap of Paper.

Monday afternoon Ossian's mar
shall and mayor and A. F. DIESEL
were summoned to the Anton Becker
home, three miles south of town. On
arriving there they were told that
some one had entered the house on
the previous Saturday, while thu
family were in the garden, and took
Mr.. Becker's watch chain, his daugh-
ter Edith's necklace and some mo-
ney, all of which, including $1.00
were found later within ten rods of
the house. A ham was also stolen
from the cellar, it is believed. The
incident was discussed by the family
AID nothing more was said about it
until Sunday morning, when one of
the children picked up scrap of
paper in the yard, in which was
wrapped $1.00, and on the paper was
written the following:
Il will be in your cellar some 9TH
er day. So / leave $780,"
Monday morning another note was
found, on which was written:
Ibid you take that $1.00? If so,
bring it back inside of an hour or
will be in your house and show YOU"

note on Monday morning. Mr.. Beck
er's boy shot two woodpeckers, and a
little later the following note was
found:
Il heard you shoot. I will face
you soon."
The finding of this note frighten-
ed the family and they rang up the
mayors office, who with marshal and
A. F. DIESEL, motored to the farm.
On leaving the farm this 1ote was
found:
81 heard you ring and I'll be gone
for today"
The next note read as follows:
Il seen all you did. The mayor is
gone. I'll face you in ten minutes"
The fifth note read:
"You needn't watch for me. 1
come tonight"
The sixth note read as follows:
Il will be at the Fred Gerleman
home tonight, so you needn't sit up.
I'll show him if he is going to stick
up to you. I'll stick his house on fire
tonight and make him pay $780,"
Fred Gerleman is a neighbor of
Mr. Becker's and was active in Mr..
Becker's behalf. The finding of the
note naturally caused him great anx-
iety, and it is needless to say that
Fred did not sleep any that night.
The house was not burned.
No other writings have since been
found. The mystery remains to be
solved, and this afternoon Sheriff
Ellingson was called out. What his
opinion is we do not know.

Something About Iowa Coal.

Sixteen thousand men are employ
ed in the coal mines of Iowa, produc-
ing, annually, eight million tons of
high-grade bituminous coal, which is
worth, at the mines, approximately
$14,000,000. Iowa ranks eighth in
the United States in the production
of bituminous coal. approximately
$S,000,000 is invested as capital
and more than Sill, 100000 in wages
is paid out every year. Iowa mines
more coal than the states of Cali
fornia. Georgia, Idaho, Utah, Mon
tana, New Mexico and Oregon COM
those are all coal-pro-
ducing states. And there is enough
coal in Iowa to keep these mines
working for $500 years.

What the High Heel Does!

Advertise UnoolIectible Accounts.
