Capt. Peter ]. S~chlosser, after a
long and painful illness, entered into
the eternal rest at the home of his
son, Henry, on Blake's Prairie, June
p, 1918, in his 77th year.
He was born in Oberwinter, Ger
many, May 80, 1843, one of a family of
eight children. The family came to
America in 1849, settling first at Ra-
cine, and after a three years resi-
dence there, moved to Lancaster, set
thing on a farm near that city. The
mother died in 1859 and the father in
1860.
Capt. Schlossers young manhood
was spent in the vicinity of Lancaster.
There he enlisted in Co. F, Seventh
Wisconsin Infantry, at the outbreak
of the Civil war, and helped the his
toric Seventh make eternal fame for
the Iron Brigade. He was in all the
fierce fighting with his regiment in
the early battles fought by the Army
of the Potomac. At the battle of
South Mountain he was wounded so
seriously that he was discharged.
Coming home he recovered and or
ganized Co. A of the 41st regiment Of
Hundred-Day Men, and as command
ing officer went with his men to the
front in 1854 to serve during the re-
mainder of the war.
He was married October 27, 1867,
to Miss Josephine Wilson. To this
union three children were born,
namely: Henry, Kitty and Charles
now DR.. Schlosser of Chicago. Kitty
Mrs. Frank Hickok-preceded her
father to the Better Land, August 2,
1914. The two sons with their moth
er, six grandchildren, two brothers
and many friends, survive to mourn
their loss.
Capt. Schloesser was for many
years widely known as one of Grant
cOunty's progressive men. Being tall,
strong and splendid in physical build,
soldierly III bearing, courteous and
genial in manner, he commanded es-
TEEN wherever known. 1t was with
a feeling akin to personal loss that
his old comrades and neighbors gath
cred to pay a last tribute to his mem
DRY. In accordance with his request
and the wishes of the family, the final
ceremonies were simple and Osten-
tatious. From the old home, where
he came back to die, the wasted re-
mains were escorted by his comrade
soldiers to the Dodge church. Rev.
Snow of the Bloomington M. E. church
spoke brief, impressive words. And
the singing-the march of years has
left unmarried the lovely voices of
Lille BARLEY and Sylvia Woodhouse,
unless that time has only given a
sweeter cadence. So tenderly was
rendered "Sleep, Oh Sleep On, Great
are the Blessings Thy Valor Has
Won"
The beautiful ritual of the Odd
fellows burial ceremonies completed
the services. The floral offerings
were appropriate and profuse. In
terment was in the beautiful Dodge
cemetery by the grave of the beloved
and only daughter.

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES.

X x X y x * x X y
Secretary of Labor Wilson has let
down the bars to immigration from
Mexico. In a department order eX-
emptions are allowed from the head
tax, literacy test and contract labor
provision imposed by previous regu-
l2tions. In a statement announcing
the order, Secretary Wilson says the
decision to permit the entry into the
United States of illiterates and other
Mexicans formerly not admissible,
was reached in order to assist in
meeting the present shortage in un-
skilled labor. Labor imported under
this rule can be used only in agricul-
tural pursuits, railroad section main
tenance and Ignite coal mining.
Coal dealers are required to give
preference to the threshing trade ov-
er the less preferred trade during the
threshing season. Dealers are eX-
pected to exert every effort to obtain
coal for their threshing trade from
the nearest available source. This
may mean the utilization Of lower
grades of coal for steam purposes,
particularly in the northern part Of
the state. Use of coal from the north
ern mines that are not already ov-
erloaded with orders, will at once in
crease the national output OF coal and
enable the dealer to hold his higher
grade coal for the use Of domestic
trade.
Foundries and other users of old
scrap iron are running short of that
material these days. It is said the
War Industry Board has notified all
buyers of iron and other junk to CO.
operate with the government. They
must locate and report lots Of old
iron, unused railroads, old mines, IN
used bridges, old manufacturing
plants, etc. All households must col
lect all the scrap iron. The govern
ment needs the iron, and must Sc
cure same.
Built like a raft with passenger
compartments on both the top and
bottom so that the craft is always
right side up, and equipped with a
movable weight for stability, with a
s~elf-bailing device, a "non-sinkable"
lifeboat recently invented by Captain
William Jacobs of San Leandro, was
tried out by federal inspectors at Oak
land, Calf, with very satisfactory re
suits. The boat was launched in the
water bow first. 1t dived under the
water, righted itself, and then took
a normal position after the bailing
valve had emptied it Of the water. The
inventor claims that because of the
seIf-bailing device the craft cannot
sink.

OBITUARIES.
Effe WilheImine Pierce,

From December 10, 1899, to June 81,
1918, was the span Of life allotted Mr..
and Mrs. Fred L. Pierc6's sweet
daughter, Nina, whose untimely pas
sing brings deep sorrow to family and
friends. From the age of five until
she was graduated from the c. H. S.
with the class of II. she was an ant
and faithful pupil in the Cassville
public school. Two weeks after her
graduation she went to Chicago
where she had relatives, and obtained
employment. at Office work-with the
Chicago Tribune and the Peoples Gas
Company. In the last part of March
she suffered d severe attack of pneu-
monia and did not recover from the
effects. She was brought home to
Cassville on April 21st and each day
grew a little weaker and more tired
until at 2 o'clock last Thursday morn
ing she passed into the sleep that
knows no waking. She was patient
and cheerful during the weary weeks
when in spite Of the constant minis
tratiOns of loved ones she gradually
slipped from their tender care into
the unknown, leaving the blessed
memory of her blameless life to COM
fort the parents, brothers Everett and
Earl, who are with the A. E. F. in
France, and, Fred L. Pierce Jr. of Mi
not, N. D., and sisters, Ethel, now Mrs.
Roy E. Williams of Chicago, and Iva,
Luella and Vera at home. Mina's
classmates, Arthur Niemer, Adam
Greenwood and Herbert Bernhard,
and other young friends, Floyd Rech,
Willis Groom and Raymond Eckstein,
were pail bearers. The funeral was
held at the M. E. church on Saturday
afternoon, Rev. B. Falk officiating.

tremendous stresses will be imposed upon Industry. With
millions of men-the flower of the nation-fghtingi in France,
Labor sources will be strained to the utmost to keep furnaces
aglow and lathes whirring. The morale of this Industrial
Army is just as important as the spirit of the fighters. It
is imperative that nothing be done to impair or disrupt the
unity and energy Of the Workers. Strikes are being eliminated
by agreement. Every effort is being made to avoid any and
all disturbance of Labor. Quarrels between employer and
employee are being suspended for settlement after Peace
comes. All power must be devoted to the Great Purpose.
But one thing threatens to halt the hand of Labor
Prohibition. Always repugnant to the great majority Of
Workers, it is particularly resented at this time when every
ounce of his energy and strength is demanded. Whether you,
MI. Reader, believe in Prohibition or not is immaterial-
millions of men wearing the home rega1ia Of oyalty-overa11s
today believe that a glass of beer is beneficial and helpful
to them and they will not silently submit to its loss at a time
when they are called upon to undergo the added grind of
wars necessity. And millions of their fellows, who have
DOTTED shop garb for khaki, will resent this cowardly attack
upon their rights during their absence on the call Of duty.
Prohibition by Federal Amendment should not be at
tempted until after the war and certainly not without giving
these Workers themselves an opportunity of voting directly
upon the question.
