Delbelt Dale.

Tuesday morning at $3.50 word
was flashed around that Delbert
Dale was dead. Although Mr.: Dale
| had been sick 50 long and his lie
despaired Of the news came as "a
shock to his many friends who sun
clung to the thought that SO long
| as there is life there is hope.
Three years ago Mr.. Dale was al
| flicted with cancer on the neck and
ever since he has been battling with
the dread disease with all the medi-
cal science At times he was better
and the family and friends would
have hopes of his recovery, only to
be cast into gloom by turn for the
worse. Six months ago he returned
from a sanitarium in Colorado ana II
was thought at that time science had
conquered, and for a time he was
much better, but hopes were shatter-
ed again and for the past two
months it seemed that it was only a
question of time until death alone
would cure his ills.
Mr. Dale was one of our most en-
terprising and foremost business
men and ranchers before being
stricken and in his dealings he made
friends of all, and to know him was
to love and respect him for his man
ly and business PRINCIPLES, and MS
word was his bond among those with
whom he had dealings.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the home Wednesday after
noon at 2:3O, by Rev. Laney of Ivan
hoe, assisted by Rev. Webb, of May,
and attended by the entire commun-
ity who had loved and honored the
deceased and who could do SO little
to relieve his sufferings.
1t was beautiful and IMPRESSIVE
service. showing his patience and
long suffering and finally seeking re-
lief and comfort in the Friend who
never forsakes US, our Savior.
A loving and devoted wife, four
sons, two daughters and two broth
ers and two sisters, besides a large
circle of relatives and friends are
left to mourn.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity is extended to the bereaved
family in their deep sorrow.-May,
Okla, Bugle.

In company with four others, ]
took an auto trip one Saturday at

visited the old dam that broke in

'G|VES'U. S. CONTROL
OF CAR MOVEMENTS

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce has made a. unani-
nous report in favor of bill that
gives the government supreme con-
troll in the matter of emergency rail-
road traffic. The interstate COM
merce commission is empowered to
suspend, either upon complaint or
upon it's own initiative without COM
plant, the operation of any rules of
railroads regarding the movement Of
freight cars, and Is authorized to
make any rules its sees fit. The pro-
posed law would practically take
from the hands of railroad managers
the movemen. of cars. and is in
dorsed by the interstate commerce
commission, state railroad commits,
sions and various industrial and ship
ping organizations.
In its report on the bill the house
committee said some of the reasons
for the remarkable car shortage in
the past few months was the lack of
adequate terminal and yard facili-
ties, lack of cars and motive power,
holding cars for speculative purposes
and lack of ocean carrying space.
