IN MEMoRIAM

In loving remembrance OF nv moth
or, Mas. ANNIE MORDERS SIZE
GEL. BY her daughter, Marguerite.
Just four years ago, dear mother,
You left mo here on earth alone;
Our Savior took you home 10 heaven
Left me hers on earth TO mourn.
You are gone but not forgotten,
For your memory fingers now
In the heart OF your dear BABY,
Though years OF suffering stamps
her brow,
In my sad and lonely moments,
Often dol think OF thee;
But know dear mother
That some day thy face shall see.
May your spirit guide me, mother,
Guide my footsteps, guide them we'll;
And when my life on earth Is ended,
Take me with yon home 70 dwell.
--------4----
In loving remembrance OF my dear
daughter, ANNIE MORDERS SIZE
GEL, who departed this life Dec. 20,
1914.
just four years ago, dear Annie,
When ! alone beside you prayed;
Little did ! think my darling
That In my arms you'd pass away.
Your well-remembered footsteps
We are listening for 10 vain;
Our eyes grew dim from watching,
And our hearts are sad with pain.
Past her suffering, past her pain,
For she has galned eternal rest;
She Is sleeping, peacefully sleeping,
Pillowed on her Savior's brest.
Farewell, farewell, Annie dear,
Life Is SAD without you here;
But may we meet 10 heaven,
Where oil Is peace and Joy MY
dear.

DESTROY MoH0PLY FOR

Why not squeeze the water out
of these land values and throw the
land open TO cur boys by taxing
land values and exempting all inn
provements from taxation? That
would help not only the boys, but
the struggling f2~roers already on
the land, whose taxes increase in
proportion as they make the land
productive and ~seryiceable.
The government has two obvious
duties to these two million young
sters: destroy land monopoly; and
destroy the transportation, storage,
and marketing manopolies that suck
the vitality out of agriculture for the
benefit of the few who own our rail.
roads, srain elevators, cold storage
warehouses, and banks. The first
can be accomplished by the taxation
of land values; the second, by pub
lie ownership Of transportation, stor-
age and marketilig facilities.
