ALLEN ROBERT MONTGOMERY

Continued from First Page) ters felt a confidence and trust in him that is usually reserved for those of elder years.
 <Allan was clean in mind and
 - his young character re- f f SSeected, as by instinct, all un- clean habits and unclean thots, and sought those that are up- right and, worthy. Always in talking with him, one found his mind in a clean field, sowing seeds that could bear naught but good fruit.
 Perfect as is Allan's record at home, it is no less perfect at school. Puncutal, industrious, attentive, and respectful, that he should be beloved an trust ed by his teachers was inevit- able. Department card and grades show the high standard that must result from these characteristics.
 It was Allan's ambition to be- come an expert printer and ed itor. About two years ago he applied to the News office for the position of printers helper, a position familiarly known to the trade as printers devil'. From the first night he worked in the office, his success was as sured. The same qualities that had endeared him to parents and teachers and won their trust, soon bound him firmly to the hearts of the News force. His eagerness to learn and his anxiety to do and do we'll soon placed his work at a standard never before attained by boy helper in the News office, and that may not be attained again. He could not have talk en more interest in the work nor done more to aid the suc- cess of the buiness had it been his own. Except in summer, he could work only out of school hours and Saturdays, and yet he was advancing in the trade so rapidly that at the age of sixteen he would have drawn full pay as printer.
 In the News office, Allan en7 deared himself to the other members of the force as tho he were one of a family there. His absence is felt as tho one of the firm had been removed, and the burden seems heavier without his cheery smile and his presence,
 Allan was an ideal Boy Scout. He was all that the scout law perscribes:
 Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, I friendly, courteous, kind, obed- 1ient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
 It was but natural that he should receive the office of scout leader by the unanimous vote of all the scouts. None at present can fill his place.
 While one of the youngest members of the Barnes Boys Band, he was climbing upward by steady application, and must. eventually have become one of the leades. His presence will be greatly missed by all the boys.
 In the immediate family, Allan leaves to mourn his loss his father, MT. Allan Robert Montgomery, his mother, Mrs. Clara L. Montgomery, three brothers, Jay, Levi and John; and two sisters, Mrs. Etta Hill and Mrs. Theresa Wolf. The community as unit rises to ex- tend it's sympathy to the sor- rowing family, and mourns the loss of one beloved by all.

FLYING HIGH

In these days of flying machines it will soon be no novelty to sail off through the atmosphere. Flying may become common as driving an auto- mobile, who knows?
 But there's such thing as flying too high, whether in aircraft every day life. The higher you fly, the farther You may fall. The man who wants to live too fast is figuratively at least a Thigh fyer' and stands as great chance to fall as the real "dare-devil' flyer who loops the loop. It pays to live within your income and deposit it in a reliable bank like ours It will make soft place which to alight in case you take a tumble.

Enlisted Men Learning
Cook in N. Y. Hotels

American men have been too proud TO
cook. They have never been en-.
couraged TO become chefs because Of
the preference of consumers of food
for foreign cooking. As result, the
United States army and navy find in
war time a dearth of native born cooks.
The seriousness of the situation was
brought out yesterday afternoon at the
Exposition Of the National Hotel Men
at the Grand Central Palace by Claude
X. Mott, chairman Of the training
cooks committee and member also of
the exposition committee.
