in handling dogs I have only seen two

KEY TO BETTER CONDITIONS.
In an Article headed PAY Better
Wages" by Chas. R. Blaze, he says
he was born in the upper class, what
ever that means. And he further
says: 81 believe the working class is
getting a rotten deal" And further,
his father says unions shouldn't exist
because they destroy and kill. And
his cousins tell him he is a bum be-
cause he is interested in the working
class.
There are cases where there. is but
one sane individual in a whole fam
lily, and as he seems to be the only
one Of the family who sees that there
is something wrong at the base Of
human society, perhaps he is that
one.

the rich have so much with which
to help the poor, and when they de-
eide to give their mite they give the
cheapest thing on earth, advice. And
I am still wondering if Gertrude got

VETERANS CAN NOT HOLD
 .%0FFICE IN HOME GUARDS

Little Rock, July 13.-Civil war veterans may be merely honorary members of the Reserve Militia, and cannot hold offices in the Home Guards, according to an opinion rem dered Thursday evening by Attorney General Arbuckle.
 Gov. Brough's attention to the standing of the various companies of Home Guard was called by Gen. J. F. Gibbons, a member of the State Coun- cl of Defense. Gen. Gibbons in formed the governor that under pres ent conditions, the Home Guard was without power, and should the Ma tional Guard leave the state, there would be no organization that could be called into action, should emergen- cy arise. Gov. Brough then asked Attorney General Arbuckle if it was true that the Guard could act only as mob"
 Attorney General Arbuckle replies that the state laws provide for Re- serve Militia, to serve during the ab- sence from the state of the Arkansas National Guard, but that it must be formed with the same requirements as the A. N. G. This means that the age limit is to be from Is to 45 years.
 The only consultation the many vet erans who are now members of Home Guard companies, is that they may remain associated with their company in an unofficial way. Attorney Gen. eral Arbuckle states that the various units of the Reserve Militia, if Ar kansas is to have such an organiza- tion, must organize with the minimum number allowed for a company. With this number it will then be permis- sible to allow those who desire to as sociate with the company, but who are not eligible under the age limit, to become members and drill, but they cannot be clothed with the same au- thority as the full fledged members.
 In little Rock quite few officers in the Home Guard are civil war veterans, being chosen from both sides of this conflict. They have been the leading spirits in the organiza- tions, and will feel most keenly the barrier that is raised before them by the state law The legislature is the only body that could change this law, but as there is provision for a Reserve Militia, there could be no special session to permit the veteran to become reserve soldier.

MRS. FRED OCOBOCK DIED
MONDAY AGED AZ YEARS

The community was shocked and
grieved last Monday to learn OF the
untimely death of Mrs. Fred Ocobock.
Few people knew that she was even
ill. The fact is however, that she
has been in poor health for period
of fifteen years, but not until one
week ago last Monday did her con-
dition become serious. She went to
the Borgess. hospital in Kalamazoo
the following Thursday, and died on
Monday. Her condition was such
when she arrived there, that no oper-
alton was attempted.
Mrs. Fannie Ocobock was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Mcguire, and was born June 10th,
1869 in Almena township. Paw Paw
and vicinity has always been her
home. She was married to Fred
Ocobock on December goth, 1891, and
it is he now who will miss her most
Of all. Six years ago Fred's eyesight
began to fail, and he has been
practically blind for several years.
During all these years, Fannie has
tenderly cared for him, and been his
faithful companion. Her passing
will leave a vacancy now in his life,
that will be hard to bear.
Fannie Ocobock was liked by all
who knew her. Her quiet unassum-
ing ways, the strict attention to her
own affairs in life, marked her as an
ideal woman. She leaves besides her
husband, three brothers, John, Dell,
and Wallace Mcguire of Paw Paw
and one sister, Mrs. Maggie Lyle of
Oak Park, Illinois. A cousin, Mrs.
A. C. Gilbert Of Kalamazoo was with
her at the hospital. Fred and Mrs.
Wallace Mcguire were with her on
Sunday, also Mrs. Marion Rowland
of Detroit, lifelong friend who had
learned of her condition. The funeral
was held from the home on Thursday

vicinity for many years. She has
been in poor health for several years,
and has spent much of her time of
late with a daughter in Grand. Rapids
