ESId May warner
Thou hast left us dearst Esta,
For the land where sorroww cease
Changed a life of loving service
For a realm of rest and peace
We shall miss thy gentle presence
From the home which love made
bright
With her thoughtful ministrations,
And a food of Gods sunlight.
But our love would not recall thee
For thy life was not in vain;
Few thy years. but large thy in
fuence
And our loss is heavens gain.
Why our Father sends this sorrow,
None now fully understand;
But wen see was loves own guild
ing
When we reach the better land.
So we'll learn from thee to trust
him
Whose is more than mothers
love
And look forward to our meeting
In that radiant home above.
IT'S the savior's hand has led thee
| On before rs FOR awhile;
| Nav the Holy Spirit guide US,
Till we greet again thy smile.

SCOPE OF SCOUT SERVICE.

Those manly youngsters, organized
as the Boy Scouts Of America, COM
mended themselves to the public from
the start, says a Southern editor. They
are called upon to render important
service on every large occasion, and
their willingness, discipline and eff
cheney have been remarked with COM
munity pride by observant citizens in
general.
The scope Of scout service is all the
while widening. As helpful to city.
state and nation as the organization
has been within the last six months In
Liberty loan, Red Cross and food con
servation campaigns, greater still will
be Its activities in this new year. The
scouts will be utilized by the federal
government in many ways.
The boys are always on their mettle
and they never tire Of duty. No trained
soldier could be more obedient to or
ders and none should be more loyal tc
his colors.
The wonder is how any city got
along as well as 1t did before the boy
scouts came into corporate being. Ant
the more the public sees Of them tht
more sympathetic will be its support

masters who instruct and lead them

government in the selling of War Saw

ident Wilson has made each boy scout
in the country his dispatch bearer on
his important messages to the people.
Boy scouts are the reliable aids
of the Red Cross and the Red Triangle.
These boys are In many cases doing
the patriotic service Of man.
Theodore Roosevelt says, "The duty
Of being a scoutmaster comes next in
Importance to being In active service"
Scouting makes the boy physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight" This is the type of citizen
ship this country must have.
The ravages of war weaken the ma
ton for generations. Scouting is the
best remedy for this weakness. Scout
ing is outdoor life and will keep one
young. 1t Is the best of recreation.
It gives a new slant on life. 1t opens
new world Of practical Information.
What is more splendid than the COM
panionship and loyalty of group OF
fine American boys? The busy man
makes the best scoutmaster. No man
Is too busy to be patriot.
Scouting is the new patriotism, based
upon loyalty to God and to country and
service to other people.

SCOUTS KEEN ON WAR WORK

A notable feature Of scouting In lSl1
was the pronounced recognition OF the
organization as an aid to the govern
ment in the conduct of the war.
Before the war. boys greatest
ambition was to be quarterback on the
football team or pitcher on the base
ball team or captain of the athletic
team" said Chief Scout Executive
James E. West.
To-day, 295, 78s of the huskiest boys
in America find plenty Of excitement
and satisfaction in being just scouts.
This Is because playing games Is
side issue in wartime, and scouting Is
a real job.
"When men are marching away to
battle for liberty, real boys are not
satisfied to play. When bridges, manu-
featuring plants, public works in every
town and city are in danger from for
eign foes, genuine fellows want to do
their share in protecting their homes.
with starvation destroying our
friends overseas and want threatening
In America, an American boy who Is
the real thing wants to get his exer-
else by producing food.
1.-THE Boy Scouts Of America are
happy because Uncle Sam did not pass
them by when he rolled up his sleeves
and began to gather his forces. The
department Of agriculture said, We
need you,', and In a month thousands
Of scout gardens were growing. The
treasury department said, We want
your help and in two Liberty loan
campaigns the scouts gathered more
than $125, 600 600 which had been over
looked by older canvassers, and are
now hard at work selling War Saw
ing stamps. The food administrator
said, I'd be glad Of your assistance
and a third Of a million scout homes
cut down on wheat, meat, sugar and
fats and began to spread the doctrine
Of food conservation. They are also
government dispatch bearers for the
committee on public information.
There's more fun in being scout
than in all the athletic sports COM
bined, for 1t Is real work-needed, ex-
pected and appreciated by the nation"

BOY SCOUT THRIFT SHOP.

The scouts Of Omaha have again
made themselves felt in the scout
world. They have started boy Scout
Thrift Shop" A cobbling class has
been formed and all the people Of the
community have been asked to turn
over to the boy scouts all old and dis
carded shoes.
Under the instruction of an expert
the scouts are taught to repair these
shoes, and they are then made avail
able at a nominal price for those in
need. Over 5000 pairs were turned in.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure catarrhal deafness and that is
by a constitutional remedy. Ca
tarrhal deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachan tube. When
this tube is in1amed you have a
rnmbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to it's normal
condition hearing will be destroyd
forever. Many Eases of deafness
are caused by catarrh, which is an
inhamed condition of the mucous
surface. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.

OBITUARY-W. F. CROSS

On last Wednesday, February goth,
w. F. Cross died at his home in Glen
coe township, after only few days
illness. On the Saturday before Mr..
Cross had gone to Ellis and returned
home in the evening helped with the
chores as was his custom and on Sun
day seemed to be in his usual health.
On Sunday night he was taken with a
chill and on the following Wednesday
died from what the doctors diagnosed
as uraenic poisoning. Mr.. Cross was
born in Davidson county, North Car
olina, April 5th, 1851 and on April
goth, 1876 was united in marriage to
Mary E. Feezor, three children were
born to this union, Charles c., Lillian
and Mrs Glass, all of whom survive
their father.
came to Trego county with his family
where he has lived until the time of
his death. He was a member of the
NJ E. church for twenty five years
and was a true christian in every
sense of the word. Frank Cross as
he was best known to his friends was
a man that every one liked for his
splendid integrity and sterling char
acter. He was a kind and loving hus-
band and father and will be greatly
missed by the community in which he
lived so long. Such men as Mr.. Cross
make the world better for their hav-
ing been in it and the deeds they do
live long after they have passed on
and the deeds which Frank Cross
left behind were good ones and his
life such that those who came in
contact with it were made better for
having known him.
On Sunday, February oath, the fun
eral was held and was conducted by
Rev. J. A. Westerman, of Ellis, who
used for his text Romans 8-24. A
large number of friends followed the
remains to the Ellis cemetery where
the fnterment was made.

STATE GUARD NOTES

Company A. has added a twelve
piece Band to its ranks, and the band
boys are earnestly memorizing pa
triotic and march music.
The Captain has received a letter
from the State Department, stating
that Home Guard Units could not ex-
pect financial aid from the State un-
til the legislature made provisions
for it; and urging members and cit
izens interested in the Guard move
ment, to impress on the minds of
our senator and representative, the
need of special session in the near
future.
The Company A boys unanimously
voted to maintain a Company Fund
to care for the current and minor
expenses; same to be raised by charg-
ing both Active and Honorary mem
bers a monthly fee of SO cents start
ing with February.
c. R. Hille was elected Company
Treasurer, and monthly dues are to
be paid to him promptly.
The Company is now equipped with
arms and ammunition enough for two
squads, besides forty wooden guns,
which will do very well for practice
but will do very little toward fright
ening I. w. WIS; therefore all citizens
of the county are urged to see that
there are no army rifles left idle in
the county as the Guards can make
excellent use of them.
A Guard Headquarters is being es-
tablished in the basement of the
Trego County State Bank, which is
being fitted up for armory purposes
and where business meetings, officers
school, Company Band practice, etc.,
will be held.

OAT AND BARLEY SMUT
DEMONSTRATE

Oat and barley smut can be effect
lively controlled by the new Dry Treat
ment. This is the most practical
method yet devised and can be used
easily by any farmer at small cost
The grain can be seeded the same
day treated.
A specialist from the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture will give dem
onstration of this new method of
treatment at Wa-Keeney, March 9th,
at 2 p m
Whether your seed contains smut
or not come and learn about this new
treatment, it may be of value to you
some other time.
1t is estimated that the annual loss
from oat smut in Kansas is a million
dollars. This is a time to eliminate
losses that can be avoided
