In Memoriam.

After a lingering illness of many
months, Mrs. d. ]. Conrad passed
from earth to heaven April 6, 1918, at
Memphis, Tennessee, in the 82nd. year
of her age.
Like as a shock of corn cUmeth in
his season, so she came to her grave
in full age and peacefully entered in
to "that rest that remains to the people
of Cod"
Many years of her personal intimacy
and loyal friendship between her and
that of the writer. prompts this feeble
tribute to her memory.
As a Christian worker, she was es-
teemed and honored. The house of
God was her second home, she attended
all the services with marked regularity.
The bible was her guide thro life. She
loved it, studied 1t and obeyed its teach.
ings.
In the Sabbath school she was an eff
ficient worker, for many yeasrs taught
class of boys who grew up to man.
hood under her teaching and training.
Truly her life could be sumed up in the
one word Christian. +"
Altho she had crushing. sorrows, ye
no murmur or complaint ever passed
her lips. Patiently and quitely she ac-
cepted her sorrows as from her God.
Believing "He doeth all things WELL"
She was quiet and'geDtle in disposi-
tion, tender, and loving. "To know
her was to love her," In all the rela.
tions which she sustained to others, she
was model. This was especially true
of her as mother, and grandmother.
She was always kind neighbor, a
faithful friend. In her last sickness
she was tenderly cared for by the.loving
hands of her three daughters. "Her
children arise and call her blessed. "
To that grand daughter whom she
loved and reared almost from infancy.
May she emulate her Christian example
and may her mantle" fall upon her.
Her pastor, who loves and cheIlshes
her memory with deepest affection.
paid ber this beautiful tribute. She
was always such a comfort and inspira.
tion to me in my abors.
She was laid to rest in the Som
erville cemetery under a mound of
b ,autiful flowers, embllms of her pure
life.
ASLEEP in Jesus! peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest.

The senior boys enjoyed party to

rill d. Lipsky gave them the trip throu
which was enjoyed by all. On arriving
the party did some driving through
the city. Later a suite of rooms were
engaged at the Peabody hotel. Then all
enjoyed delicious dinner there. Every
member Vt the party Jack Bowers,
Max Franklin, Merrill D. Lipsky, Car
Teton Pierce and William Wilkinson,

The party was accompanied by Mr.. G.
G. Foskett, and Mr.. E. S Routon. Sat-
urday before returning the party enjoyed

companied by the lady instructors

yers, farmers and teachers; in fact
men from all walks of life are being
urged to volunteer for this service.
Just how important it is can be seen
by the assertion of one worker in France
who said that the leadership of "
hut in France has bigger possibilities
ofnational service than most of the
bank and college presidencies and big

Garden Notes.

The Falcon family had their first
strawberries from the home garden last
Sunday and the fast English peas on
Monday, both earlier than usual. Some
others had strawberries earlier but we
have no dates at hand. The peas men,
toned are the earliest we .have heard
of. And we have three other paintings
to follow these, so that we should have
peas daily from now till June or july,
Several have asked US how early egg
plants can be transplanted. Ours have
been insthe rows ten days now and are
getting started to growing, with few
warm days recently and the good supply
OF moisture. In fact, we think that it
is safe now toplant any of the tenderer
vegetables that we plant. We have in
the open now okra. pole beans. butter
beans, peppers, egg plants, sweet po-
tatoes, and in fact every thing that we
plant for spring and early summer gar
den.
Ii has been asked several times this
spring If the Lookout Mountain pota-
to would make a spring crop if planted
early. This has been tried and it
makes big vine. .butlno potatoes when
planted early. Don't plant this potato
until midsummer.
IL you plant paper Of celery seed,in
a well-prepared row and cover very
shallow and shade until seed sprout,
the little plants will grow fast and
when carefully cultivated will give the
best celery that one can get, There is
no comparison in the quality of home
grown celery and that we buy. And 1t
is not SO much trouble as great many
think. Bleaching il is easy enough and
takes no greater amount Of work than
other things. In fact each thing grown
in the garden has its peculiar habits
that must be catered to IL the plant Is
to do Its best and ell take some pains,
but celery very little more than the
others. 1t Is now time to plant. It

Congress
May Reject Peace,
Start HoLv War

LONDON, March 5.--The often reit-
Grated statement of English correspond
ents that anything may happen in
Russia at any time, and that nothing
need cause surprise, may possibly be
illustrated by the developments there
pending the ratification of the Russo
German peace treaty, according to re-
ports appearing here to-day.
1t is said that section of the Boil
sheviki is in no wise pleased with the
shevik Premier, and is inclined to join
the Left Social Revolutionares, the
war spirit of which, according to "Thc
Daily Mails" Petrograd correspondent,
predom;nates and constitutes formid
able opposition to the peace party.
This war party, it is said, advises
that the petrograd governmental in
stitutons be removed into the interior
of Russia, from where they can con-
.inue ths fight against the Germans.
II is suggested that the Congress of
the Councils, called to meet at Moscow
March II, to consider the ratification
pretext for evacuating Petrograd, un-
der the excuse that it is necessary for
the governmental departments to at
tend the congress.
Lcnine May Resign
Opposition to the Germans is said
TO be greater in the Moscow and pro
yincial councils than in Pctrograd
Berlin despatch received in Arn-
stcrdam to-day forecasts the carly
resignation of Leninc and Trotzky, the
Bolshevik Foreign Minister, owing to
their increasing unpopularlty.
Reuters Pctrograd correspondent,
telegraphing Monday, says:
1T seems improbable that the peace
treaty will be ratified by the Congress
Of Soviets at Moscow March r.
"The delay of q fortnight granted by
the Germans for ratification consti-
tutes an opportune respite for the
Soviets. which probably will be utilized
IN the organization Of Red army and
the development of means Of defence.

Opinion IN Japan
Is Diuided Over
Siberian Question

LONDON, March "a Reuter- dis
ratch from Toxic under date of March
says:
Public and press opinion is radically
divided on the question of Japan's in
tervention IN Siberia. One Of the
strong political elements, which is also
commercially powerful. urges Japan to
remain inactive, insisting that the talk
Of German menace through Siberia
IS merely mares nest, and opposes
the mobilization of men and resources.
"Another including the best elements
in Japan, is daily and more loudly de
manding action. The leading news
papers in the capital belong to this
side. The newspaper 'Kokjmin.' which
is regarded as frequently expressing
the views of the Premier, unequivocal-
~ asserts to-day that the government
is running the risk Of irreparabe loss
if it longer delays action against Ger
many and the Bolsheviki in Siberia
which must shortly come under THEN
complete control"
