his examination at Washington was sent
TO the camp at San Antonio, Texas, Tor
training. Several weeks since he con-
tracted case OF measles which developed
into pneumonia. His parents were ad-
vised by wire when his condition became
critical but before his father, who had lert
10 be at his bedside, had gotten many
miles he received telegram that his son
was dead. He retraced his Journey back
home and the body followed some two
weeks after, owing no doubt to the bad
conditions OF the roads from heavy snow
drifts and freeze outs. Services were
held Wednesday morning in the high
school auditorium, conducted by Rev A.
r. Snedenger, of The M. E. Church, Boil
iyar. assisted by Prof n Z. Mcdonald,

fully carry off what we are conserv-
ing. Cannot this thieving be stop
ped ? Dogs are no pleasure or use.
Besides, il is a crued wrong to have
such an outrage on ones premises.
Won't someone please have dog
thieves stopped and oblige a tax-pay-

Girls Basketball.

The Shepherd College basketball
girls played a series of three games IN
PENNSYLVANIA on February /, 2 and y,
1918. On the first of February they
played Waynesboro High School. The
first half of the game was very close,
but the thought of taking home at least
one victory spurred the girls on. In
the second half Lucille Ewers shot four
field goals, Olive Cooper coming up
with three. When the timer called
time the score was Is to ) in favor OF
S. c.
The second game was played on the
Chambersburg High School floor.
According to the old saying, IT'S a
poor team that can't win on its own
floor we had decided at the end OF the
first half that they were not poor
team. Itfell to our lot to lose, for at
the end of the game the score was Is
to 7 in favor of c. H. S. However, the
S. C. girls proved as good losers as
winners and resolved to show the Z. II:
S. girls how we can play basketball
when they come to Shepherd College.
The third and last game was played
at Penn Hall on February 9. We had
heard from everyone that Penn Hall
had a team that couldn't be beaten, and
we soon found out, for we were defeat
ed by a score of 81 to 6. Their girls
were larger, swifter and better shots
than our girls. Every one can look
for an interesting game when Penn
Hall comes to ). &. -.

A Tribute To A Mother.

On account OF the unselfsh love and de-
votion necessary to the success OF their pro-
fession, perhaps, teachers appreciate more
fully than any other class OF people the loyL
and companionship OF mother. II this be
true the fuller appreciation probably leads to
a more intense feeling OF grief in the loss OF
a mother. Along with this consciousness OF
loss there comes, however, the blessed mem
DRY OF mothers resignation TO an All-wise
Fathers will, so that even in death as in
lie the mother continues to help in all our
greatest needs.
Knowing that one OF our most devoted CO.
workers, Miss Louise Rightstine, has just
sustained an irreparable loss by the death OF
her mother, we, the Public School Teachers
OF Shepherdstown District, desire TO bear
witness to the beautiful and helpful life which
this mother lived in her home and in the
community and thus publicly TO extend our
sympathy to all the bereaved family and es-
pecially to Miss Louise, who will miss most
this devoted lie.
Resolved, That a copy OF this simple mes
sage of sympathy and appreciation OF the de.
parted one be sent to Miss Rightstine and
that it also be given TO the papers OF the
town for publicat ion. ......
Signed, THE COMMITTEE.

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer E
Hoyle, Of GAINESVILLE, Md, took it
flight to the kind Father who ha,
loaned her to us for the brief periot

Let no hopeless tears be shed,
Holy is her narrow bed
Death eternal life bestows,
Open heavens portal throws.
And no peril waits at last,
Her who now away hath passed.
Safely, safely gathered in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin.
God hath saved from weary strife,
In its dawn this fresh young life,
Now it waits for us above,
Resting in the Saviour's love.
Jesus when this life is done,
Join us to Thy little one,
And in thine own tender love,
Bring us TO Thy ranks above.

More About Wheat Flour.

As the days 90 by the supply OF wheat
in cur gamers grows shorter and the de-
mand from our allies for wheat flour grows
more intense. The demand upon us now
reaches 30 million bushels a month, and
this must all be taken from the supply
we had saved tor our own consumption.
Thus we are called upon 10 use not more
than TOPPER cent of our accustomed amount,
and IN tact we are called 10 buy one
pound OF substitute for each pound OF
flour we buy. A comparison OF this sac
rlfice with that made by our boys IN the
trenches is small indeed, and we ought to
meet It with freedom which has charac-
teriZed all demands made us by the gov
eminent up 10 this time. Jefferson coun-
ty is pledged TO loyalty in this matter and
we are not going 10 prove slackers.
Hoarding is violation of The law and
is not TO be tolerated under any form or
circumstance Equal distribution with
cut hope OF the future must prevail.
A modification OF previous rules permlts
the sale OF wheat flour TO farmers to the
extent of 70 per cent of their accustomed
purchase il they have and are using SUD-
slItutes IN the home. They are not re-
ouired to buy pound for pound OF substi-
tutes.
DIR. |. X. Trotter will be in Shepherds
town this coming Friday, February ION,

food orders, and all interested are urgeo
10 be present at that time.

In sad but loving remembrance OF ouI
dear mother, Alice Jones, who departed
this life one year ago, February Is, 1917.
One year has passed, but o we miss her,
Friends may think the wound has healed
But they little know the sorrow,
That is within our hearts concealed.
How we mis- you. darling mother,
How in vain for you we weep,
But we know you're home with Jesus,
He has given blessed sleep.
The last farewell was spoken,
One year ago today.
Our hearts were crushed and broken,
When you, dear mother, passed away
We miss thee in our homes, dear mother
We miss thee from thy place,
We miss thy kind and willing hands,
We miss the sunshine OF thy face.
In memory oittimes l see you mother,
You whom / loved so dear,
The vision grows so clear,
Sometimes ! feel you must be near.
