Sixteen of the girls worked

stayed with the job until the
close of the day. They were ac-
companied by two teachers,
Miss Rose Mills and Miss Jessie
Walker, who pulled maize the
live-long day.
Mr.. Rucker says some of the
girls did not fancy the job a
great deal but those who stay
ed the day out showed that
they had the nerve to accom-
plish that which heyhadbegun
and he thinks it a good indica-
ton of the undaunted spirit
that brings success to young
America.
Mr.. Rucker expects to use
some of these workers in his
fields on next Saturday and
then his harvesting will be
over. But, say, those girls are
workers." asserts Mr.. Rucker,

OLD COLONY
MEMBER DIES
Marie Bourmanse Who was Born in
France and Lived in Icarian
Settlement at Nauvoo,
Passed Away.

PENNINGTON. Iowa, Dec. Is
Marie Bourmanse was born in
France, August II, 1886, and died at
the soldiers home in Marshalltown,
Iowa, December II, 1917, aged
eighty-one years. She came with her
parents to America in 1853 and
landed in Nauvoo ILL.,. where she
married Isidore Ponte in the same
year. To them were born ten chill
dren; four died in infancy. She
leaves a sister six children o. l.
and e. L. Ponte of Pennington:
Charles of Creston; Leon of Denver,
Colo; Emma Loughridge and Marie
Thomas of Smithville, Texas; also
twenty-five grandchildren and eleven
great-grandchildren. Her husband
died twenty years ago. Since his
death she had lived with different
ones of her children until she be-
came an invalid, when she wanted to
go to the soldiers home and her
wishes were acceded to- Mr. Ponte
was soldier in the civil war.
Mrs. Ponte was a member of the
communlSt1c lcarian colony at Maui
VOC, Illinois.
Funeral services were held in the
Nazarene church in charge Of the
pastor, Rev. j. H. White. and inter-
ment made in the Pennington GENE,
terry.
A Frenchman, Etienne Cabot had
persuaded a number of his people to
settle with him in the Red River
country of Texas in 1848, and found
ed the town of Icaria This is said
to have failed because Of Cabot's ex-
travagant ideas.
In 1850 the colony found the city
of Nauvoo almost deserted. the Nor
mons having been driven out. They
purchased or leased the property and
moved in, forming an industrious,
peaceful body of people seeking to
live according to the Golden Rule.
Human nature, however, was so
strong in some that they took advan-
tage of the trustfulness of others and
dissension arose, division came, and
part made new effort near what is
now Corning, Iowa, calling 1t the
| Icarian community. Cabot died the
! same year at New Orleans. and
gradually the organization broke up.
The good people scattered to yari-
Gus parts and built up for them
selves, individually, homes and be-
came successful farmers and bust
/ ness people.

she has always lived still defies the
possibility of German shells and
