International News Service:

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, April 4.
Flags have taken the place of the
usual window curtains in some of
the private residences in this city.
The spirit of patriotism has invaded
the high school and every room in
the building has one or more flags
draped on the walls. The court
house is covered both inside and out
with flags. Business houses also are
displaying the national emblem.

Can Supply All Things.
The requirements Of an army are
great Until the many things need
ed by soldiers in the field are ex-
planned 20 the laymen by military
men he has little or no conception
OF what equipping an army means
Wooden socks must be had or else
infantry men cannot march. They
are the only kind Of socks discover
ed that will take up the moisture
and enable the soldier 20 keep his
feet in first class condition which is
essential 20 marching with a so
pound pack. The wool output from
the sheep herds Of Michigan will
assist in answering that question.
No end OF prepared foods must
be collected. SIichigan's canneries
are canning products with which she
takes high rank. Michigan. is the
premier bean growing state Of the
country. Beans are very important
as an army ration.
The place of Michigan's copper
and iron mines in industrial history
is we'll known. without them the
problem Of eqUipping and arming
an army would be almost beyond
solution. There are other mines in
the country, but none are so well
situated or so highly developed.
Leads i'm Four Branches.
The state leads in four branches
OF human activity essential of the
successful conduct of war-mining,
manufacturing, agriculture and
transportation. About One-half Of the
wealth Of the state is devoted 10
agriculture. So great and self-con-
talred are the resources of the state
that a wall could be built around the
state and it's population would not
suffer for years. Her 36,000.0OO
acres Of land, II intensively cultivat-
ed. would feed the entire man force
OF the nation.
That the men of Michigan are
not physically fit for the most part
that they are ''soft''-is untrue.
About $4,000 men of military age
are earning their daily bread in the
industries OF the state other than
farming by hard labor. AS half Of
the population lives in the rural
districts it is safe TO assume the men

DEATH INVADES
HOMES ATLATHAM

Unity and Latham, Nov. 14-Again
the pale charger, so unwelcome In
every community, has entered our
midst and gone into the home of Ed
Stowe, bearing away the soul of
sweet little Sarah Patience, second
daughter of Ed and Nancy Stowe.
She was truly sweet, good child,
and in her short life of eight years,
she had made many friends by her
loving kindness and gentle obedi-
ence, always having a kind word and
pleasant smile for everyone. Espec-
tally was she affectionate to her lit
tie brother and sisters, often being
called the "little mother" She
was sick but one short week, being
taken with pneumonia one Friday
night, and as the sun came up the
next Friday morning the soul of Sa-
rah Patience quietly left the abode
of clay and assembled back to God.
The bereaved have my heartfelt
sympathy in this their darkest hour,
and we would say to them, weep
not as those who have no hope"
Their little darling is through with
suffering, sorrow, pain and death,
and is now sweetly resting, watch
ing for loved ones to come. May
they each one be prepared to meet
her where there is no separation.
She leaves mother, father, one broth
er, four sisters and an aged grand
father and grandmother, number of
devoted uncles and aunts to mourn
her untimely death. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. L. A. Win
stead at the home, after which the
