Sharon
AMIE j. EGGLESTON.

1t is with a deep feeling of grief
that. we record the death If Miss Anne
J. Eggleston which occurred at the
Sharon hospital on Wednesday, Feb.
Goth, 1918, grief because We have lost
SO young and fair life from our
midst, though we should not sorrow
for even that as it's silver lining and
death was her gain. She had never
been strong in health through her last
illness was of only about two weeks
duration, developing into tubercular
meningitis. Everything was done that
loving hearts and hands could do for
her recovery but 1T was not so to be
and her brave spirit took Its flight just
at sunset on Wednesday She pore her
suffering bravely and accomplishing
ly. There is a word of comfort for
those Of us who are left, in the assur-
ance that she is now where there is no
suffering and sorrow, for Amie's life
was as pure and undeflled as a childs.
The comparison is most characteristic
of her for she dearly loved children
and was always at the height of happi-
ness when with them. She loved to be
with and among them always taking a
keen interest in their work and play.
and delighted to do the kind little
things so dear to a child's heaIt She
was an active member of the Congre-
gational Church and a member of tie
choir, and was also teacher in the pri-
mary departm emit of the Sunday School.
She loved her class dearly and they
were just as devoted to miss Annie"
as they afectionately CALLED her and
they will miss her keenly though they
will have many pleasant memories OF
her kindly influences upon them as the
years go on. How many times the
writer has heard the remark, How
the children love her., anu we VINO
knew her loved her best can pay no
higher tribute than that, for children
seldom if ever, make q mistake IN a
PERSONS character and to be loved by
children is Indeed nigh praise Inc
funeral Was held from her late home
Oh Saturday p. III at three O'CLOCK ami
was largely attended. She rested i'll
beautiful white broadcloth casket
among a perfect bower of flowers given
by loving friends and acquaintances,
which spoke SO silently and yet so
deeply of the love in which she was
held by her f,iends Rev. W. A. Mack
ey was the officiating pastor, who dur
ing the service read that beautiful
poem Crossing the Bar" which was
one Of Amie's favorites. The song
Sometime Well Understand was
most beautifully rendered by the sweet
voice OF the singer, Miss Julia Davis of
Bethel, who was also close friend of
Amie's. She is survived by her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. d. n. EgRleston, two
brothers and two sisters. Miss Harriet
T. Eggleston aid @. H. Eggleston of
this place, Gerald d. Eggleston Of New
York city and Mrs. G. l.. Forte of
Pittsford, Vt, to whom the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community is
extended. In terment was in the Nor
tuary Chapel, Hillside cemetery until
spring, at which time she will be laid
among the flowers she loved so we'll,
as she was especially fond of spring
flowers. The bearers were H. B. Dakin,

CONSERVING GOLD.

While it is true that the purchas-
ing power of gold has steadily de-
creased during the past few years, it
is equally true that the metal is in
greater demand in world transactions
than 1t ever was. All nations, so far
as they are able to do so, are boarding
their gold and trying to secure more.
But with enormous doubts confront
ing them, and contracted ON a gold
basis, their boards must diminish
unless the yellow metal coinage is
Importantly supplemented by silver,
as it seemingly must be.
Right now the government of the
United States is urging it's citizens
to conserve the gold supply by using
paper and silver money instead of
withdrawing gold from the banks,
where it serves the purpose of a
reserve available for national financ-
ing. There is no sound reason why
this request should not be granted,
for most of us prefer silver and paper
to gold, anyway, and would not be
inconvenienced by the deprivation.

WILL RUSH AMERICANS TO FIR
ING LINE.

Entire unity force is to be the
watchword of the United States and
her allies in the prosecution of the
war.
American troops are to be rushed
to the fighting fronts in large num-
bers as quickly as possible and there
is to be perfected coordination In
naval, military, financial, food, war
industries and diplomatic matters.
The agreement between the allies
for unified action was reached at the
recent inter-allied conference in
Paris which was attended by an
American mission headed by Colorel
E. M. House and arrangements al
ready have been made for the United
States to carry out it's part of the
compact
In order that American troops may
be dispatched in constant stream to
Europe, the allied nations are to so
arrange their merchant shipping
that the necessary transports will be
available for the huge task

LESSONS ON THE LIBERTY LOAN

Now that the second Liberty loan
is an accomplished fact, we can look
back and estimate it's significance,
both spiritual and material, to the
United States. Boersianer, the an
alyst of finance, writing in the Jan
uary number of Hearst's Magazine,
tells us that it is the largest sub
.ScriptiOn in the annals of finance,
whether made by a government or
private firm. From the moral and
the financial momentum accumulated
as well as from the almost inexhaust-
ible resources of the country, he
finds it only natural that the second
appeal should have brought larger
response than the first; and he pre-
diets that the same forces will be
at work to make the response cllmu-
lative in every succeeding loan the
government shall ask. This author
ity brings out with force and clear
ness the contrast between our loans
and those of Germany, which are
paid, not in cash, but in promissory
notes. The effects of the latter sys-
tenn on prices of commodities and the
value of currency are such as to make
us modify, to a very large extent, the
apparent value of the German loans.
The financial implications of the
American response are most encour-
aging, though they might easily
have been lost sight of by people in
general, if it were not for such ex-
pert explanation as that given by
Boersianer's article.

NEW YEARS
CELEBRATION

New Years Day was gala day
in Parker. Nearly everyone for
miles around came to town las Tues
day to enjoy the program of sports
which had been arranged by a COM
mittee of citizens. For several days
previous a crew of men and teams
were employed in cleaning and grad
ing the principal streets, and on
Tuesday California and Arizona ave-
nues were in fine condition.
The principal race was a matched
race between Willis Jackson's gray
horse and Roland Nichols brown
horse, the gray winning by length,
with Joe Hargar as rider. The auto
races were exciting from start to
finish. In the five mile event there
were about seven entries. Bernard
Roberts won, time 13 minutes. One
car tipped over, with Mr.. Martin
and B. Film, but fortunately no one
was injured. The 6OO-yard race be-
tween John Ryder and Bernard Rob-
erts was won by Ryder There were
three one-quarter mile races which
excited considerable interest. In
one of the races the rider of horse
lost control of the animal and it ran
into the porch opposite the Parker
Commercial companys store and
knocked down the two-year-old SON
of Joe McCullogh. Fortunately the
child was not seriously injured, al
though for time it was believed it's
injuries were serious. Numerous
sports were indulged in during the
afternoon, and in the evening a free
public ball was given at Hosfelt's
hall

of the Bolsheviki government than
they were a month ago In fact it
seems pretty evident that Germany
is holding aloof from Russia S domes-,
tic quarrels and is merely Waiting,
to see what party or faction gains
the upper hand. 1t may be true
that some of the released German
prisoners are now enlisted inaythe
ranks of the BOlsheviki. forces in an
attempt to bolster up the authority
of the Lenine and Trotzky govern
ment, but there can be little doubt
that the way is clear for the return
of every German soldier to the serv-
ice of the kaiser whenever sum-
mOned. 1t is perfectly obvious that
Lenine would like to have Germany
underwrite the BOlsheYiKi govern
ment to the extent of keeping it in
control of the nations finances and
industry. But if Germany embarked
upon such a programme it might
lead quickly to serious situation
in which Germany would be required

RABBIT SKINS AND MEAT AD-
VANCE IN VALIJE

! 1t may be of interest to know that
a good market demand is developing
for jack rabbit and cotton tail skins.
Funsten Brothers & Co. of st. Louis,
Missouri, are offering from rs to so
cents pound for dried rabbit skins,
according to size, quality and con-
ditions.
In preparing the skins for market,
they should be removed entire with
the exception of the feet and head,
and should be dried fiat. AS five
or six dried Jack rabbit skins will
average a pound, the skins should
net approximately five cents each.
In view of the Importance of con-
serving and utilizing all available
meat products, it is important this
winter that considerable should be
given in organizing control cam
paigns to practicable plans of kill
ing jack rabbits in such a way that
they may be marketed. This may be
best accomplished by means of
drives and traps, the catch being
prepared and shipped to an avail
able market Local dealers may be
found who will handle the animals
so that the profits may go to the
people participating in the drives, or
to cover expenses incident to lunches
in connection with such drives.
