IN MEMORY OF LIEUT.. FRANCIS
EARL BOAZMAN
1901 -JG12

I391-191S
In the valley of the eternal rising
sun,
God is gathering his frowers one, by
one;
Transplanted in His garden beyond
the sky,
It pleases God they shall never die.
One by one God is gathering His
flowers
From this storm-tossed world of ours
No torrid sun, no frigid snow
Where Gods flowers ever bloom and
grow.
And Jesus is the great warden
Over Gods sacred, angelic garden;
He sendeth Heavens dew in showers
To nourish Gods holy, immortal
flowers.
If life's winters seem long and
weary;
| If storms seem dark and dreary,
Life's mortal storms will soon
abate-
Let us bow and patiently, reverently
wait.

You asked me if I knew Sallie had

Listen Uncle Sam, one of my best
friends died this morning here in the

WILSON MESSAGE
CLEARS OUTLOOK,
SAYSLABOR HEAD

London, Friday, Oct. 25.-Arthur
Henderson. leader of the labor
party in the house of commons said
today that his first impression OF
President wilson's note to Germany
was that it would assist materially
in clarifying the situation.
1T is of the highest Importance
that the German people should be
encouraged to look, not for a tenn
porary cessation of hostilities but
for a permanent discrediting and
destruction of the militaristic and
arbitrary system that has involved
them and nearly the whole world in
unprecedented suffering and loss of
life" he said.
IF the German people are hon
estiy seeking peace" he continued, !,
they should do all in their power
Immediately 10 provide such effect
i've political safeguards and consti-
tutional guarantees for the future
world peace that no section of their
population will be in a position, II
so disposed. to influence resump-
ton of military effort. AS Presi-
dent Wilson has clearly shown the
best safeguard against future war
is the reduction at least to virtual
impotency of all the forces upon
whom rests the direct responsible
jty for the horrors of the present
struggle"

AS packing house products have
been selling on a basis of $l650
for hogs, the announcement today
Of the new basis for November re-
suited in a big jump of prices for
pork, lard and ribs.
While the new price basis prob
ably will mean an advance in the
price TO consumers of pork and
pork products, such as ham, bacon,
and lard, it was explained in a
summary of the conference issued
here that the peace talk with its
vision of a corn market flooded by
low priced corn from Argentina
and South Africa, had reduced the
market price of that cereal from
25 to 40 cents a bushel. The con-
sequence of this, the summary said,
vas q near panic among hog rails
ers, who saw similar declines in the
prices of their market animals and
therefore rushed their stock to
market

approved proposed increases in eX-
press rates to become effective un-
less another method of giving the
American Railway Express com
pany added revenue is worked out
with the railroad administration.
The commission suggested that a
more scientific method of providing
added revenue for the express com
pany would be TO change the con
tract with the railroad administra-
ton to give the ex%ress company a
larger proportion OF transportation
charges.
In view Of this suggestion il is
probable that the railroad admin
istratiOn and the express company
will take up negotiations which
may result in cutting the proposed
increase about in half. Meanwhile
the new rate will not go into effect.

ST. QUENTIN LEFT
IN RUINS BY FOE;
MUST BE PAID FOR

Paris, Friday, Oct 25.-Desper-
ate destruction Of property and
documents of historic nature was
carried out by the Germans at st.
Quentin, according to report
made to Premier Clemenceau by
the municipal authorities of that
city.
Ancient city documents which
had been walled up under control
of the German command and plaC-
ed under seal were found to have
been removed or burned. Evidence
showed that this occurred after the
inhabitants had fled from St Quen-
tin in March, 1917.
In stripping every factory in the
city the Germans carried off all
models and designs and even the
accounts of the various companies
were removed. The municipal au-
thorities ask that an allied or neu-
trail commission visit the city soon
to establish the falsity of the state
ment made by DR. W. S. Solf. the
German foreign secretary, that the
city was destroyed by shells from
the allied artillery. Such a visit
would also, they say, establish that
the German depredations were &C
tuated by determination to crush
the economic life of France.
The report asks that the armis
tice with Germany, when arrang-
ed, will secure the return of all the
people Of the city from occupied
districts of Germany and that Ger
many be compelled TO pay an in
demnity and supply workers, ma
terial. machinery and furniture to
enable the city to rehabilitate it
self.
