city. Four children survive their father
in the persons of Blanche, Maurice,
Lyle and Francis, all at home. Mr..
Birks mother, Mrs. S. F. Adamsony and
a sister, Mrs. J. A. Lane, both Of Iowa
City, are living. Mrs. Adamson was
here at the time Of her sons death.

things along and shortening the most
terrible war ia all history. This loan
must be oversubscribed. The respon-
