FUNERAL SERVICES FOR
G. O. sTERL AT THE HOME

Funeral services for the late Geo.
C. Sterl were held at the home on
Vine street this morning at 10
o'clock. The stores of the city were
closed In respect to his memory The
Rev. w. d. Ziegler officiated and
paid tribute to the services Mr.. Sterl
during his life in Abilene had rem
dered to the community, the state
and the nation.
It was over forty years ago that
George C. Sterl came to Abilene from
his home in Bolivar, Ohio. He set
tied here, confident in the future of
this city, and started his career as
clerk in the w. S. Hodge "Bee-Hive"
grocery. From this time on he en-
tered with all his youthful spirit and
enthusiasm into the great task OF
creating, In 1881 he became associ-
ated with Gus Zahner in the dry
goods and clothing business, eight
years later taking over the firm. He
sold out the dry goods portion of the
business and maintained for many
years a mems clothing store. In 1873
he married Miss Alice Belknap and
they lived together in happiness here
until her death three years ago.
During this period Mr. sterl be-
came a leading spirit for civic inn
provement and commercial develop
ment in the city He was for several
years president of the Abilene Ma
tional bank About seven years ago
he severed all active connection with
his clothing store.
When America entered the war
Mr.. Sterl was found always ready to
answer any call for his service. Red
Cross and Liberty loan campaigns
found him an eager and spirited vol
unteer and director. Jealous of the
city's records in the work, and al
ways happy in the knowle/se that
Abilene did its part and more Long
member of the library board, he
took care of the property and inter-
ested himself in its work
Mr.. Sterl was born in Bolivar, o,
December I, 1850 He is survived
by his aged mother, who lives in Ma
varre, Ohio; two daughters, Mrs.
Frank Parent of Inglewood, Cal. and
Mrs. Robert J. Bender Of Washing
ton, D. c.. two bothers, Alex and
Otto, and three grandchildren, Mary
Alice Parent. Nancy Sterl Parent and
Beverly Alma Bender.
During the recent summer both
Mrs. F. D. Parent of Inglewood, Cal, /
and Mrs. r. J. Bender of Washing
ton. D. G., we're here with their faith
er for several months. They were
here for the funeral and both will
remain short time. Mr.. Bender is
also here.
A wealth Of beautiful floral trib-
utes testified to the sympathy OF
MANY friends. The burial was in

the wife and mother gone before

The georgette crepe is of "a very soft
texture, but the manner in which the
styles here are brought about is the
most interesting feature Of this group.
Some of the new ideas have single
large button which fastens at the front
lust below the collar and which is very
novel. Cuffs are interesting.

Abilene Nearly TO Its Quota
Wheatland First Township to
Reach the Top-A Lib
eral Response.

The Liberty Loan Drive of Dick
inson county started with enthusi-
asm Monday morning and during
the first two days over one-third OF
the amount of the county's quota
was subscribed by the people of the
county. The first township to go
over its quota is Wheatland, which
had a quota of $36,95O and reports
$4,000 sold with more coming
Wheatland was also the first town
ship to complete it's quota in the
Third Liberty Loan campaign.
Abilene Is Coming.
Abilene is of course coming across
handsomely, and will reach its quo
ia in the three volunteer days. Up
to Tuesday night the sales to Abb
Iene residents amounted to $123,-
$50, while the quota is $1S5,4O0,
and will be reached by this even
ing.
However, the bank reports show
that up to Tuesday night only 3Ol
persons In Abilene had bought
bonds. In order to have an Honor
Flag. at least 20 per cent of the
population must be bond purchas-
ers, which means that Abilene
must have $50 bond purchasers If
It receives an Honor flag. On ba-
sis of FIVE to a family, there are
nearly 800 families in Abilene, and
only 3O1 persons have bought bonds.
This is not a matter of geography
but comes home to every individual,
and merely because Abilene reaches
its local quota should be no excuse
for any one not doing his patriotic
duty toward helping the Govern
ment at this time
In Noble township the entire
week is left open to volunteer sub
scriptions, and Center opened its
polling places for bond subscrip-
lions instead of making canvass.
1t is expected that this week would
finish the loan drive, and Dickin-
son county ought to reach its quota
in time to celebrate Liberty Day
next Saturday.
Trophies Are Coming.
On Friday, Abilene and Solomon
will have important events relating
to the Liberty Loan. The train es-
pecially of war exhibits, which is
being sent over Kansas, is due at
Abilene at 1925 Friday afternoon,
and remains until $3.50. 1t consists
of three cars loaded with cannon
bombs and other war material
much of which is direct from the
trenches. The train will be on the
Union Pacific and be parked cen

MEXlCANS ARE NOT DRAFTED
President carranza Denies Reports
That His countrymen Are Being
Molested by Americans.

Mexico City.-In reply to lower
house, which sought information re-
garding the statement that Mexicans
are being drafted and enrolled In the
American army, President Carranza
said that there was no truth In the
report that Mexicans are being mo-
Tested or unlawfully enlisted In the
American army, which was being or
ganized on account of American par
ticipation In the war.
He explained that the draft law re-
CURED all foreigners, including Mexi-
cans, to register and undergo medical

empted and that the ministry of for

$500 LIBERTY BOND AS TIP
Hotel Employee Gets Nice Present
From Old Patron of the Estab-
lishment.

Kansas City, MO.-Ten years ago
Joseph Bartlcs of Bartlesville, often
stopped ut the Baltimore hotel while
on business in this city. Among the
youths who served him was Alvin ].
Hawkins, page, who took liking to
the Oklahoma man.
AS the years went by Bartles con-
tinued to stop at the hotel, and Haw-
klns, now promoted, continued to look
after his every within. He was always
alert in making the Oklahoma mans
stay enjoyable.
Now Hawkins is superintendent Of
service at the hotel The other day
Bartles called and found his old friend
on the job.
IL want to give you a little tip"
Bartles told Hawkins, as he placed a
folded paper in his hand.
When the hotel man opened the pa
per he found $500 Liberty bond.

n day, In four years of war the indus
trial loss mounts up TO $4,000, 100000.
There Is no disposition on the part
of the allies to begrudge the expendi-
ture. 1t Is the highest price that has
ever been paid in history for anything
but the thing purchased is security for
the application Of these same forces
to peaceful aims In the future. II is
literally true that the men and money
spent In this war could have trans
formed the earth. They could have
established universal sanitation, uni
versal education, eliminated barbar-
ism and savagery, reclaimed all the
waste lands, established communion
lions by rail and steam with every
corner Of the globe, and brought the
millennium nearer by long stride
At least, the human race has ceased
to be awcd by the magnitude of any
project. In the hell of war. men have
learned that no task is too great for
them, and that is a thought worth car
rying into times of peace.

The plane was perceptlbly lower; II
almost seemed rs If Its suspicious
must have been aroused. II swept Off
toward home, pursued by the bursting
shrapnel that II lodged as II by
series OF miracles. But suddenly IL
seemed to culver, its tail went up, ana
1t began to dive steeply. The sentry
watched 1t eagerly through his glasses.
Was II n ruse to escape the shell, or
was II hit? Slowly the plane began TO

feet from the ground, when IL turned
on lis side and crashed swiftly to earth,
mile or so from the battery.
The sentry blew his whistle once
more, and the battery returned to its
work cheering and whistling. Every
one had seen the machine come to

But, as always, chlvalrous feeling for
