FUNERAL OF
MRS. NAUCHT0N

Mrs. Helen Naughton died in St.
Johns hospital last Sunday from
heart trouble and her funeral was held
in this city from the Catholic church
Tuesday, Rev. FIR. Baker officiating
The deceased leaves a husband and
three children, son and two daugh-
ters, to mourn the loss of this good
mother and wife. Mrs. Naughton has
been a resident of Barnes county for
the past tWenty-one years and has
made an ideal home for herself and
family on the farm eleven miles north
west of this city. She had been hav-
ing trouble with her. heart for some
time and last winter was sent to Cal
ifornia to see if the change of climate
would not give her relief, but it did
not seem to do her any good and she
returned home this spring and had
been gradually growing worse until
she passed away last Sunday, We did
not know the deceased, but her friends
in speaking of her, said she was a
splendid woman and good home
builder. Such one will be terribly
missed in the family circle and among
the friends and neighbors who have
been her acquaintances during these
many years on the farm. The fu-
neral yesterday was one of the larg-
est ever held in this county, testifying
to the popularity of the one who has
joined that vast throng in the great
unknown. The pail bearers were
Messrs. Darby O'Malley, Chas. Nc
Bride, Frank Vandrovek, John Brady,
Richard Fox and Peter Clancy. The
family have the sympathy of the their
neighbors and friends in the great
loss they have sustained. Mr.. and
Mrs. Naughton were married "a years
ago the 9th day of July in eastern
Ontario. Five children have been born
from this union, three Of whom are
still living.

At the conclusion of this talk headed
by the Municipal band, the eighty one
drafted men and the guests marched
from the church to the Armory by
way of Fifth avenue and we want to
say that those young men certainly
showed up as a stalwart bunch of
clean Americans vino will do their
duty in the same spirit that the boys
now in France are doing. At the
Armory Rev. w. c.. Lyon presided
and first introduced Prof. J. B. Meyer
who led the singing of patriotic
hymns. Then Mayor I. J. Moe was
called on for a talk and responded
with some good advice and express
sions of good cheer to the boys. More
singing followed then MIS-. Frank
Ployhar was Introduced to present
the boys each with comfort kit CIV
en- by the Eastern Stars. Rev. FIR.
John Baker, who was to be one of the
speakers Of the evening was unfor-
tunately delayed at Jamestown on
account of No. 8 being late so that he
did not appear on the program. This
was a disappointment as he is fine
speaker. The principal speaker of
the evening was then introduced,
Lieut.. Hill, of the Canadian forces
The lieutenant has seen considerable
service on the western battle front
and has been severely wounded, so
that he is now out talking for the
Red Cross and his speech last night
was one of the best and most con-
vincing that has been delivered here.
He is a fluent talker, speaks from
first hand experience, and what he
said was the truth. He could not say
too much for the work of the Red
Cross and said that the boys would
realize what splendid institution it
was after they got over to France.
His speech was full of patriotism as
we'll as stern facts. He warned US
not to be too optomistic because we
were experiencing successes at this
time, and said that the ultimate end
of the war would be in favor of the
allies, we had yet lot of work to do
before it would end We wish we could
print all Of this speech-it would be
worth it, but it was too long for our
space, but we want to say that it was
a fine effort and those who heard it
went away impressed with what had
been said to them.

SOMEBODY GOT
BADLY FOOLED

Henry Uloth informs the Times
Record scribe that some thief stole
a motorcycle from the barn on his
farm north of town Monday and
intended making getaway with it
but could not make it work on account
of the fact that the switch on the
machine was locked and the hired
man, who owned the machine, had
taken the key with him. The ma
chine was found later half mile east
of the farm leaning up against the
mail box, the thief evidently becom-
ing tired of peddling 10 motorcycle
which would not run { Z wise under
the circumstances. Tht s ed man is
greatly tickled to think ~1 kept the
key and that he has r. & cred his
motorcycle.

that he began to scold Sammy as if
Sammy were to blame for all his trou-

Sammy Jays Tongue Is Sharp

A tongue that's sharp will often hurt;

But that sharp tongue sometimes helps

That's the. kind of tongue Sammy
Jay has-a sharp one. No one has a
sharper one unless it is Chatterer the
Red Squirrel himself And never are
those two tongues sharper than when
their owners happen to meet Then It
usually Is a question which is the
sharper.
Now, of course the Hood which orept
over the Green Meadows didn't worry
Sammy Jay IN the least OF course not.
It didn't worry anybody with wings.
But Sammy was quite excited by it He
never had seen such a flood before and
he did his best to be everywhere at
once, so as not to miss anything. When
he thought of Jerry Muskrat and Jerry's 8
house in the Smiling Pool he right away
started for the Big Hickory Tree on
the bank of the Smiling Pool to see for
himself what had become of Jerry's
hne house.
But as he drew near the Big Hickory
him over there. He forgot Jerry and
his house. You see, his sharp eyes saw
that there was some one in that tree
and that some one was acting in the
craziest way, pacing up and down. this
way and that way. Then Sammy caught
the sound of a scolding voice and
grinned.
