Coxen's Minina Claim.

he would like to be a prospector and,
with another young fellow as part
ner, staked out n claim in southern
California Riches did not come in
sudden PUSHES, as he had fondly eX-

claim to his partner and hied himself
back to the brighter lights and running

twelve or fourteen, and while walking
down a Los Angeles street the other
day CoXen encountered his one time
partner, whom he had not seen in all
the intervening years. Greetings over,
it came about that the former partner
still held the claim, had been working
it ull these years and was just about
as far along in the acquisition Of this

years before when they first staked
their claim. But there are worse

One of the first problems which the
equipment department was called upon
to meet in the production of Joan the
Woman" was the purchase of mate
rial Had Joan of Arc lived in the
present day it would have been an
easy matter indeed to have gone to
some Fifth avenue atelier and place an
order for 1000 hoopskirts OF 10000
dress suits. But Joan lived in France
in and around the year 1920, when
hOOpskirts were unknown and dress
suits were of silk. During the first
week of preparation the most discour-
aging results followed the effort to OBJ
tain metal mesh in sufficient quantity
to make the coats of mail. This mesh
greatly resembles the metal used in
ladies' handbags, and the proposition
was made to one company which man
ufactures silver handbags by the thou
sands to turn out mesh of a cheaper
and coarser grade The costume worn
by Miss Geraldine Farrar in the above
photograph is fashioned in part from
this mesh.

JOHN GARNER.

On last Saturday evening, the Goth
day of June, the entire community
was shocked to hear of the sudden
death of Mr.. John Garner. His death
was the result Of an accident which
happened the day before. He had
been sowing peas and by some way
was struck in the side by the handle
of the planter, but how is not def
nitely known, as he was alone at the
time.
He managed to get to the house,
when medical aid was called and it
was soon learned that his injury
was fatal, and at 2 O'Clock the next
day death released him from his suf-
fering.
Uncle John, as he was familiary
called, was born in North Carolina
the 25th of January, 1910. His
father being one of the early settlers
of this country. At the age of %
he joined the Confederate army IN
der Captain John Burrow, of the
43rd Mississippi regiment, and served
his country faithfully to the end of
the war.
On November IA, 1872 he was mar
ried to Miss Francis E. Buchanan,
who preceded him to the grave just
four years. Briefly told this is the
life history of one o fthe most ex-
emplary christian men we have ever
known.
His religion was no abstract theory.
He lived it and to him it was as liv-
ing waters. He was known far and
near for his deeds of charity, his
greatest pleasure being to assist the
needy, and to help those in distress.
Gone to his reward, but he will be
missed-missed by his friends, miss
ed by his church, and above all,
missed by his children, of whom there
are eight sons and three daughters.
In the presence of a large con-
curse of people he wa laid to rest
beside his wife to await the resurrec-
ton, when they will rise side by side
to enjoy al Eternity of bliss X
