: 4 s fs. 's9s
Mrs. Emma Ann Morgan, the second
daughter of Franklin and Clarissa
Smith, was born July 25, ls40, at
Otisco, N. Y, and there she grew to
womanhood. On January l, 1863, at
Preble, N. Y, she was united in
marriage to Willard Morgan. Three
children were born to them, one dying
in infancy. A daughter, Mrs. Charles
Willard, died in March, 1906. One son,
Herbert, of Cresco, still survives.
About four years after their marriage,
Mr.. and Ms. Morgan moved to White
water, Wisconsin, where they lived for
eight or nine years. In the fall of 1874,
they moved to Iowa and purchased q
farm at the south edge of Cresco where
they lived for nineteen years. In 1898,
they secured property and located in
east Cresco where they resided until
MIR. Morgan's death in April, 1909.
Mrs. Morgan contin ued her home there
for two or three years, but failing
health compelled her to discontinue the
home and reside with her son.
In early life, at about the age of
thirteen, she united with the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Hers has been a
life of true devotion to the church and
the cause of Christ. She had great
faith in God and with it q strong desire
to serve Him through the various
organizations of church activity. The
Aid Society, temperance, and mission
ary work received her most ardent help
and she continued her membership in
some of these organizations until God
called her home.
In failing health since 1906. an invalid
since 1912 when she received an injury
from which she never recovered, and
entirely helpless for the past three
years, she very peacefully departed
this life on Tuesday afternoon, August
20, 1918, age 70 years and 26 days.
She had::been a resident of Cresco for
A years.
She is survived by one sister. Mrs. o.
D. Millett. of Cresco, one son, Herb
ert, of Cresco, six grandchildren and
one great-grandchild, besides other
relatives and friends.
The funeral service was held at the
home of her son, Herbert Morgan, on

ing at 1890 O'Clock, conducted by Rev.
E. G. Copeland and interment was
made ut Oak Lawn.

How'd you like to have corn on the
cob for Christmas dinner? Easiest
thing in the world if you follow the
directions as given by an Iowa house
wife, who served roasting ears on hel
Christmas dinner menu last winter.
She just dried the corn on the cob
instead of cutting it off. Then, on
Christmas day. she got the corn out,
cooked it and it looked and tasted like
corn that wss gathered from the garden
that morning. ~.
The corn to be dried was selected in
the proper roasting ear stage. After
shucking. the ears were blanched n
boiling water from 8 to 10 minutes,
dipped in cold water and dried. The
blanching tends to set the milk in the
corn and gives it = better color when
dry.
: To dry, the ears were plased on
cheese cloth in tray. Care was taken
to see that the corn did not sour in dry.
ing. When the corn was dry it wa
placed in sacks for conditioning. Open
containers would have done Is well.
Then tight containers were used. For
protection against worms, the corn was
heated in the oven at 40 degrees F. for
Ave minutes q soon % taken out Of
the driers. The corn was dried in the
sun, but an electric fan would have
done just % well. ~, ,.Es4
Waenlthe corn was wanted for use, it
was soaked and cooked just % fresh
roasting ears.

With apple butter time coming and
no sugar, it might be . good idea to
remember that grandmother used to
make apple butter without sugar in
the days before the Civil War. In
stead of sugar, she used sorghum mo-
lasses. With an abundance of sorg-
hum in Iowa this year, it might be
utilized to save the surplus apples on
the farm.

portions ef apples and sorghum grand
mother used % she cooked the apples
and then added the sorghum after run

An Inspiring Service.

The 25th anniversary services OF Or.
P. E. Heimer's ministry were tittingly
brought to close on Sunday evening in
Mt. Tabor Reformed church at Rocky
Ridge with an inspiring service of greet
ing and fraternity. An overfowing au-
dience greeted the pastor which gave
zest to the occasion.
A letter of greeting was read from the
Lutheran pastor, Rev. W. o. Ibach, who
was unavoidably absent. Short addresses
were delivered by Rev. E. M Riddle,
pastor of the Progressive Church of the
Brethren of Linwood, and by Mrs. l.. U.
Messler of the same church.
Mr.. Newton Sharrsr spoke brief fra
ternal address for the Lutheran congre-
CATION and Mr.. John S. Long for the
Reformed. Both of these addresses were
full of the spirit of goodwill and friendly
regard.
1t remained for Miss Estelle Houck
very estimable young lady and member,
to present greetings for the young peo-
pie and in most beautiful and commen-
datory address did she do so, and at the
conclusion of which little Miss Rachael
Smith came forth and with few fitting
words she presented the pastor with
gift in money in neat package-a con-
crete token of respect and esteem in
which he is regarded by the young as
we'll as older people of the church and
community.
The choir of the Progressive Brethren
church of Linwood furnished special mu-
sic which was we'll received and much
appreciated. In addition to the Is men,
bers of the choir, 25 members of the same
church came along in automobiles.

The Spanish "Flu."

The epidemic now prevalent in all army
camps in the east known as the Spanish
Flu" is spreading over the country very
fast. The "Flu" is about the same as the
old La Grippe according to medical au-
thorities.
The Flu" has hit Thurmont, perhap s
one hundred people in and about town are
suffering from this disease at this time.
Physicians are very busy. DR.. M. A. Bir-
ely stated that when he was at his office
it was hard to get away, and when he
did get to the country it was difficult to
get back so many persons desiring aid.
Mr.. Chas, Shaw. super intendent of the
Union Manufacturing Co. stated that but
IL of his 45 employees reported for work
Monday morning, many of them quite
sick.

ed almost one half, the children suffer-
ing from severe colds. Miss Ruth Wright

Accidentally VaCCinated.

DR.. A. A. Lamar, of Middletown. went
to the Maryland University Hospital at
Baltimore week before last, suff ering
from badly infected finger, as the re-
suit Of peculiar accident. The Doctor
had opened vial of vaccine virus in his
office the first of the week, and tiny
fragment of glass fell into saucer. AS
the doctor reached into the saucer the
end of the second finger of his right hand
struck the tiny piece of glass and the
doctor felt the sting as it entered his fin
ger. He quickly applied strong remedies
including strong carholic acid wash,
and took every precaution against after
results. By Thursday of that week his
finger was greatly swollen and streaks
of red ran up his arm and he suffered
much pain. He at once went to the hos
pital, where they put him to bed. and at
once operated on the finger. The doctor
returned home last week.

The Meaning of Your SubScrip-
tiOn to the Fourth Liberty Loan.

What Is The Liberty LOan9
It's forts and it's ships and it's shining
guns.
It's squadrons that sweep the sea.
It's all of the circling band of steel
That shall keep all the homo shores free,
It's grub and it's warmth for the sailor
lad
Far out on the wintry foam,
For the brave jack tar, as he fights afar,
It. the good old Money from home"
What Is The Liberty Loan?
It's rifle and helm and it's bayonet,
It's shovel and shard and shell
For the soldier boy in the olive drab,
Out there on the edge of hell.
It's soaring wings of the whirring planes
That battle on high alone,
For the lad who is daring "Over there"
It's the good old Money from home
What Is The Liberty Loans
It's succor and life for bleeding world,
It's the glimmer of Peace at dawn,
It's the strength of mighty arm to strike
It's the CLEAN of the great sword drawn,
But more than all it's the pledge of love
To the lads whom we call "Our own"
To the boys on land, afloat, on high,
It's the good old Money from home"
