will ascertain their local farm labor
needs and where possible will take

Death Of Mrs. Emily Carney

The following editorial tribute to
the memory of the late Mrs. Carney
appeared in. a late issue Of the
Leavenwortb. Kansas, Times:
Many q former employe Of the
LAavenworth Times will learn with
genuiue sorrow of the death of Mrs.
Emma Carney, which occurred at
her home In Denver on Monday.
Back In the SOS and early SOS when
Emma Whittrock was head of the
business department Of The Times
she had the warm friendship of the
entire force. Emma" as all called
her, was the friend of every one con-
nected with the paper. From galley
boy to the proprietor of the paper
all consulted her on occasion and all
felt that she was interested in their
welfare. She was not ELUSIVE in her
friendships but in quiet, dignifled
way she gave all to feel that they
had friend in her. She had many
friends In the city who have always
been glad to welcome her back when
she returned for her annual visits
since she was married. 1t will be
with deep regret that they will learn
that she will return no more"
The Meeker herald., 1917-04-21
A Praiseworthy Movement
A Denver dispatch says:

- osctSsS' Ds.yDs
James r. Noland, secretary OF
state, has issued u cali upon all en-
ployes Of his Office to contribute one
per cent. Of their monthly pay to the
Soldiers Family Fund. The payroll
of the. office amounts to approxi-
mately 5000 q month, which means
about $50 a month for the fund.
Secretary NoIand's action was
quickly followed by similar calls
from Auditor Charles Leckenby,
Treasurer Robert Higgins and Attor-
ney Leslie f. Hubbard. 1t is not
unlikely that Governor Gunter will
make q similar suggestion to all
other detached state employees, mem
bers of boards and workers for the
various institutions. This, of course,
may be reinforced by request from
the Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, Mrs. Mary G. q. Bradford, to
all the state teachers to contribute
their mite.
Secretary Noland figured that ii
the young men of the state were will
ing to offer their lives on the alter OF
patriotism, then the state employees
who will remain behind can do no
less than donate a small part of their
monthly wage to the maintenance OF
the families OF those who will bear
arms.
