When war broke out he buekled on
His sword, and said, "Goodby,
For I must do my duty. Dad;
Tell mother not to cry;
Tell her that III come back again."
What happiness and Joy! 9
But no, he died for Liberty,
My one and only boy.
The days are long, the nights are
drear,
The anguish breaks my heart;
But oh! I'm proud my one and only
Laddie played his part.
For God knows best, His will be done,
His grace does me employ.
I do believe I'll meet again
My one and only boy.

Highlanders Killed in France,
December 28, 1916.
Oh, there's sometimes I am lonely,
And I'm weary a. the day
To see the face and clasp the hand
Of him who is away.
The only one God gave me,
My one and only joy,
My life and love were centered on
My one and only boy.
I saw him in his infant days
Grow up from year to year,
That he would some day be a man
I never had a fear.
His mother watched his every step,
Twas our united joy
To think that he might be one day
My one and only boy.

No Sunday Funerals Requested.

On and after Sunday, April 2lst 1918,
we urgently request that no funerals
be planned for Sunday, except in cases
of actual necessity. The reason for
this request is, the time of the pastors
is already fully occupied each Sunday,
and funeral on that day means an
added obligation on an already over
crowded day. Another consideration
is that Sunday funeral means no
weekly rest day for the undertaken.
We trust that the public will receive
this request in the same spirit in which
it is made.

IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN GROWTH OF HOGS
Problem of Exercise Is Difficult
to Solve in Winter-Go0d
Plan Is Outlined.

Exercise is one Of the most impor
tant factors in the growth of hogs.
Hogs that are confined in a small lot
do not develop sufficient stretch and
frame, points out Ray Gatewood, in
structor in animal husbandry in the
agricultural college.
1.-THE problem of exercise" said Mr..
Gatewood, us more difficult to solve
In winter than in any other season OF
the year due to the fact that hogs
should be kept off the pasture for the
good of the pasture.
Exercise can best be provided by
allowing the hog free range on field
which is fenced hog tight and which
has not been planted to any crop. Stalk
fields in which cattle are running make
desirable place for stock hogs. Be-
cause hogs are likely to remain III
their sheds too much in the winter
they should feed some distance from
their sleeping quarters. This forces
them to take a certain amount of ex-
ercise." --.-
