Dear Friend:
I am writing this for Mrs. Ohm.
and want to tell you Of her daughter
Lucile's death.
Lucille was accidentally shot on
Thursday afternoon about 4:15 p. m.
and died about six o'clock. She,
with Vera Ohm and Mr.. johnson and
Mr.. O'Kane were. out hunting near
Wolsey and Mr.. O'Kane turned In
answer tosa question she asked him
when he tripped and the gun was
discharged In some way and struck
Lucile's left limb. breaking the bone
and causing her to bleed to death.
They took her to Wolsey as soon as
they could but, all the doctors were
out of town. They telegraphed ev-
erywhere near and were continually
phoning for some ONE to come. but
1t was impossible to get doctor for
over an hour. But Mr.. and Mrs.

were simply lovely and very numer-
GUS. And she looked as natural as
IL she were sleeping. Could not have
looked prettier. Mr.. Ohm had CO.
ment vault made for her. and every
thing was done for her that could be
done to the last.
The large attendance ut the church

A PLEASANT PARTY

Mrs. Robert Curtis and her capa-
BILE committee were hostesses at the
Woman's Club party which was CIV
en- at the club rooms last Friday
evening. 49,
tened to the fine program, which
consisted of selected teadiugs. rec
stations and musical Numbers. There
were 80 many good thiAgs that 1t
b difficult to particularise. but we
really think the chorus, KAISER
Bill" was the hit Of the evening. Es-
pecially the thanks of the commit
tee are due to Mrs. Andrews and
Miss DeFleury for able assistance on
the program. Their readings were
very different but we'll selected and
most pleasing. The group OF young
Fpeople who assisted should also be
Remembered as giving . worth while
part of what altogether made most
enjoyable evening.
Refreshments of coffee and small
cakes were served early. but the
guests fingered for the social time
and games that kept things lively
until a late hour.
We believe the next club party Is
dated for the middle of December
because Of the approaching holidays
which will take some of the enter
tanning committee out Of town.

ENGAGED IN A NEW
MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISE

Emil Haeflinger one Of the enter
prising farmers Of Leroy township,
residing three and one half miles
northwest of the city. where he has
lived for the past fourteen years. has
Just entered the manufacturing bus
mess, and from present indica-
lions he will do a thriving business.
He has purchased machinery and
equipment for the manufacture Of
The Continental Fence Stay, and has
for his territory six counties adjoin-
ing Audubon county. Last week he
had some Of his finished product on
display and all farmers who have
seen the invention pronounce 1t as
Of extraordinary value.
1t is not only the proper thing for
farmers, but railroads in many parts
of the county have adopted the stay
as a permanent fixture and are using
1t, believing 1T to be feature that
will add many years to the life of q
wire fence.
Mr.. Haeflinger Is very enthusiastic
about the new stay and feels that he
has a commodity that will meet the
approval of the farmers. He has
left a sample of the stays at various
places in the city. among them at
this office. He needs no introduc-
ton to the people Of this community
for he has lived here about sixteen
years. He has made a splendid sue
cess of farming and his ability is OF
such recognized worth that he Is
bound to make a success Of his new
venture.
The Continental Fence Stay has
been on the market but a short time.
and has already won favor where
ever 1t has been put into practical
use. We are of the opinion that Mr..
Haeflinger will enjoy lucrative
business in the counties that he has
secured, and we are more than pleas
ed to recommend him as a man of
sterling worth and one who will go
to the limit to make good any claims
he makes for his useful invention.

favor of our church work by my
preachings, lectures, discussions in
the congregations, and among the
ministers, arousing a more serious
work for our Lord. home and abroad

up the war spirit among my Danish
