OBITUARIES

Margaret NJ. Alt was born in John
SON county, Iowa, February %, 1s41,
where she made her home until she
grew to young manhood. At the age
of % she was united in marriage TO
Daniel P. Roberts and to them seven
child rem were born, three boys and
four girls, two of these children died
in infancy and the other five survive
their mother.
In the early '80's Mr. and Mrs. Rob-
erts and family left their home in
Iowa and came to this county which
has been their home ever since Be-
fore coming to this county Mrs Rob-
erts was a member of the United
Brethren church but there being no
church of that denomination here
she united with the Methodist
church and her life as, conscienti-
Gus christian has always been consist
ent with her profession and hsr life
in Christ will always be remembered
and appreciated by her surviving lov-
ed ones
Mrs. Roberts had been in poor
health for the last several years but
she bore her suffering patiently and
while her loss is deeply felt by the
family, yet death came as a relief
from the ills of life which she had
borne.
She is survived by her aged hus-
band and five children who are: G.
w. Roberts, of Iowa, Mrs. Cora Chap
man, of Minnesota, Miss Sarah Rob-
erts, Vance Roberts and Mrs. Alice

bered as kind hearted woman by
many of the older residents of this
county and all join in extending sim
cere sympathy to- the surviving hus-
band and children.

but good neighbor and well liked
by all who knew him. The funeral
services were held at Utica, Kansas,
March 9Th, and the body was buried

that the hide brings more money now
than the whole cow was worth 25
years ago. Likewise a calf at six
months age now sells for more than
the former value of two cows, hair,
hides, hoofs, horns and all.
Considering all this, we may ex-
pect footgear to cost a heap of good
money-to say nothing of matrimony
and alimony. Low shoes come fhigh"
and high shoes come higher vet, in
every respect, and poor father has
no idea what the limit will be, but
everybody keeps right on ''a-workin"
him.
Yes, there is that tale also that
goes with the DR.. Hyde case. 1t has
been thrice told, already, but it seems
that the public of Kansas City and
against the expense of another re-
turn date. Well, we don't have to
read the stuff
The mule-footed hog is not a very
recent invention, but the only sam
pie this writer has ever seen was a
porker which Chester Mason was
taking to market one day recently.
Judging from appearances that pig
let should make pretty good eating
but by the time the product gets
back here with the packinghouse
brand on it the price will be out of
sight.
Perhaps the term "mule-foot'' may
be little too suggestive for the sup
er-sensitive feeder but considering
the h C of we can't afford to be too
blamed fastidious about our s'eats."
There is no telling what may happen
soon now that the President is gett-
ing tired of eating crow. But then,
perhaps we should be willing to eat
little crow if that will keep US out
of war.
The murder of the Austrian Crown
Prince, two years ago, was the cause,
for at least furnished the occasion, for
a war which has ragged ever since,
in men, and still the wholesale muir
der of men, women and children goes
on. Every one of those victims had
the same right to life that the Prince
had. Most of them were just as good
citizens and probably some of them
were even more useful than the VIC
tim of the original murder. And,
after all this, the Crown Prince is
Just as dead as he ever was.
To be mistaken for a muskrat and
then plugged in the head with shot
gun certainly is hard luck and lacks
all the glory of death in war, but that
is what happened to an eastern man
the other day. 1t seems strange that
so many of mans inventions find
their greatest use in the destruction
of ma1.
1t is all right to ginger up little
once in a while but the man who
bought thirty pounds of it in one
order from a grocery peddler certainly
went the limit. However, it proba-
bly, was bone-dry ginger and the
buyee may have a special use for it.
1t beats all how the people will buy
from a man whom they have never
seen before, and may never see again,
a lot of stuff they have never seen,
and may never see, and in needlessly
large orders. And yet, if that same
stuff were offered at the same price
by the home merchant, many of the
same buyers would hardly look at 1t
or perhaps at most order only = quar-
ter pound as trial sample.
Moral; If you want the business
go after it and stay until you get it.
However, there is another side to the
story. Many people would never
have same good and useful things if
they were not urged to buy them.
