In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance of my beloved
brother. John Thomas McGaha, who de-
parted this life December z, 1918.
When | sit alone in the twilight
And the past am living DER,
can see the form of my darling brother
Glide in at the open door.
lie takes the vacant chair beside me.
Lays his dear, sweet hand in mine.
My arms stretch out to embrace him,
To reach him they vainly try.
My heart is torn with anguish.
Why is it when we are happy,
And our lives with true love is blest,
That the cruel hands of fate should
enter.
Now the days are sad and lonely,
Tears oft fill my eyes
When sit and long
For our boy to come home
God, who knows best, has called our
darling to rest,
Yes, dear brother. we hope to meet
And in heaven with joy to greet you,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Gone but not forgotten.
By his devoted sister,

Secretary of Agriculture Houston, ad-
dressing the Governors, suggested that
State governments ascertain Immediately
what farming lands might be available
for use OF returning soldiers. He cautioned,
however, against throwing these men in
discriminatory into agricultural pursuits
without previous experience or adequate
training.
He also urged States to establish strong
centralized agricultural departments, to
define more clearly the functions of land
colleges, to continue promotion of asricul-
tural extension work, build better roads
and promote campaigns in rural districts
against preventable diseases.
Considering the uncertainty Of the fu-

THE people of this community
know that our association for more
than s. years has exerted its entire
energies to encourage home building
in Omaha, to which city it has con-
fined the placing of its loans. During
the last 80 days we have closed loans
on city property aggregating about
100000 and the prospect is that we
shall continue to loan at about this
rate throughout the summer.
"Our association has sold to its
stockholders and others $500, 900

the last great drive Is nearing 4 sue

zation can resume its policy of pro-

OF HOMES OWNED
People Here Solving Own
Housing Needs by Buying

The national housing committee
has addressed 4 letter to the sesfe-
tary Of the Omaha real estate beard,
inquiring about housing conditions In
this city, and asking what were the
community's greatest needs In ..hs.s Re
spects
II IL . peculiar fact, but Omaha
people are solving, in a large way,
their own housing needs and prob

Of the population and commercial i'm
portance of Omaha in the United
States where more families live in
their own comfortable and modern
homes.
The "Own Your Own Home" cam
paign, which Is now in progress here,
will add largely to this condition.
In the larger cities OF the east,
where typographical features confne
masses of the population to limited
areas, there are the problems OF over
crowded tencments, and where realty
values are fabulous these human hives
are made to return vast sums annually
in rentals with very little outgo for
upkeep and repairs.
No Tenements Here.
There is not tenement district in
Omaha that can compare in slovenli.
ness or lack Of modern improvements
or sordidness of surroundings with
what are considered the fairly decent
tenement conditions of the east. Here
the poorest tenant has great advan-
tages over those of the eastern cities.
1t is only by comparison that per-
sons in Omaha can realize the reason
able realty values here.
In most eastern cities OF the popu-
lation Of Omaha it would be impos-
sible for the man of average means
or earning power to acquire 4 home,
within easy reaching distance of his
work in the center OF the city, for
5000 or $4,000, and especially with
the yard surroundings, the boulevard
and park systems, such as this city
possesses. This should be considered
in the present Own Your Home"
campaign. This is the worlds cham
pion residence city.

DEATH OF MRS. BLOUNT.

Mrs. Louis Blount died at her
home in Johnston, S. c., Saturday,
November 9th. Mrs. Bluont had
been ill with pneumonia for several
days. Her body was k7cvght TO Al
beville on Sunday afternoon and
taken to the home of Mr.. J. D. Mil
ler. Services were held there Mon
day morning at II o'clock, conduct
ed by Rev. J. L. Daniel, of the Meth
odist Church, after which the inter-
ment took place at Melrose.
Mrs. Blount's death, following so
soon after the death of her hus-
band, is very distressing. She was
desperately sick last week when he
died, but it was hoped that she
would recover. She grew worse on
Friday, however, and the end came.
She and Mr.. Blount were both very
young and apparently had many
years of enjoyment here, but in a
little while both are taken. Two
small children are left without either
father or mother.

CONSERVING LIVE STOCK.

Looking to the conservation of
live stock, meats. and leather" the
State Council of Defense has inau-
garatcd a movement to prevent the
killing of so many live stock on the
railroads of this state. In letter
sent out, it is stated that the an
nual drain in South Carolina from
this cause is about sixty thousand dol
lars, and that the losses from this
cause in the South are excessive, be-
ing double per mile the losses in the
West, which is a stock country, and
treble the losses in the Northeast.
1t is suggested that in those towns
which have no ordinance on the sub
ject an ordinance be passed prohibit
ing stock from running at large, and
