OBITUARY

Mrs. Henry B. zenk, nee Ger
trude .Noomen, was born near Orange
City, Iowa, October 81, 1890. She
died at the Bismarck Hospital August
II, 1917, of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Her family took up residence for
time in. Holland, Michigan, from
where the father directed his steps to
the neighborhood of Hull in this
county. Here he purchased farm
and on this farm the subject of our
sketch grew to womanhood.
She acquired her education in the
rural schools of this county and took
a course Of study at the Aberdeen
Normal School to complete her edu-
cation. Two years of her life were
devoted to the teaching profession in
this county.
In the year 1913 she was married
to Henry B. Zenk, of Hague, and
from this union issued two sons, the
first born named Noomen and the last
Willis. While humanity speaking
tsey are entirely too young to be be.
reft of mothers love they are the
greatest gift the mother could have
presented to the world. They are
strong and robust and in their visages
the sticken husband shall ever find
that solace and comfort which the
good Lord in His tender mercies
sends, like gentle rain, to the hearts
Of those that believe in Him.
Mrs. Zenk lived life of conse-
Grafton to her Lord and Master.
Every act, word and thought was in
communion with her God, am, n her
late illness and approaching death 1t
was her fervent praying for her
souls salvation, and her entire resig-
nation unto the will of God, that those
left behind, for the sorrowing bereft,
source of comfort that shall ever
prevail. She has not lived in vain,
this is the verdict of all those nearest
and dearest to her. Her life and
peaceful taking away will ever be a
sweet memory, as we'll as an admoni-
ton to those who knew her best.
Like fragrant rose in its bud,
plucked before it can fully unfold and
divine all that the world has in store
for it, so she left us, and like the
rosebud she shall ever remain young
in the mind of those she left behind
The funeral was held from the de-
ceased's residence at Hague on the
10th inst. The greatest number of
people in the history of this country
congregated to escort her remains to
their last resting place. The funeral
services were held at the church in
Hull, where hundreds viewed her last
remains once more. At the OBJ
sequies the Rev. DeBruyn, of Hull
and Rev. Barr, of Pollock, officiated
and directed words of comfort to the
bereaved family and friends. From
here the remains were taken to the
Hull cemetery and placed in a brick
vault. Later this will be covered
with an appropriate marble slab. The
Lord in His mercy grant her that
peace which this world can never
give.

Bryan replied that he had no doubt

Says Food Report
Rapid Decline in Potato Prices
Caused by Lack Of Dis

New York's produce market, espe-
cially that of potatoes, has "broken
down." according TO report in tho
Digest of the National
Agricultural Society. Lack OF system
in distribution and marketing is
blamed.
"The last week in June saw the first
signs of breakdown" says the Digest.
"The class Of citizens least able to bear
financial loss and who have whole
heartedly responded TO the call of
patriotism by increasing the country's
food supply have been hit hardest.
