GOING To ENGLAND
DOCTOR MCLEAN SLATE FOR
HOSPITAL COURSE.

Lon FritCh has a communication
from Doctor MCLEAN, formerly of
Oskaloosa, in which he gives the
information that he is expecting to
leave for England soon for additional
hospital work in the orthopedic di-
vision of surgery. The Doctor is
evidently getting his share of school
ing, whether he sees service or not.

Dear Lon:-I think possibly | owe
you letter and will take the oppor-
tunity to congratulate you on the
acquisition of your new business, as
it is good shop and you will be

don't put too much potash in the
wash stuff.
If it is as hot there as we are
having here, everybody will have to
change their palm beaches" every
hou.
Tell Ted that as soon as he gets
into the service, his first job will be
to dry clean the Kaiser. With he
and George Cruzen both at it, it
should be an easy job.

What One Horsepower VIII Do.

An astute French mathematician has
found that in certain watches the mo-
tons exceed two hundred million Il
year in little equal jumps. In the
same time the outside of the average
balance travels seven thousand five
hundred miles. Yet despite this as
tonishing distance travelled by the ordi-
nary watch the amount of power con-
sumed is trifling. One horsepower is
sufficient to run two hundred and sew
enty million watches. This is proba-
bly, all the watches that are in exis-
tence. But if there should be more
there would be enough power left in
the one horsepower to run an addi-
tional thousand watches or so.-Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

OBITUARY.
Knickerbocker.

Mrs. Elnora Costello Knickerbock-
er, the eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Costello, died at her
home, one mile east of Mt Morris,
Thursday morning, Sept. 26, of the
dread disease which in the end, after
long suffering, claims its victim. Mrs.
Knickerbocker was born June 18th,
1857, lin Flint She had observed the
growth Of the city Of Flint, from a
small struggling town to the large
city it is now. Beneath the Reaper's
sickle has fallen one who was richly
endowed with every attribute which
could adorn and elevate the charac-
ter of woman. She bore her suffer
ing of the last illness with great pa
tience and sweetness, which will ever
be an example to those who so faith
fully attended her, her last thoughts
being loving care for the dear hus-
band and daughters who had so low
ingly watched over her for the past
year. The angel of death has taken
to his fold beautiful life, which left
its impress for good upon the world.
Deceased leaves her husband, two
daughters, Esther and Julia, and one
son, Francis, the latter being in
France, also her aged mother, two
sisters, one brother and host of
friends. The funeral took place Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock from St.
Mary's Catholic church, Rev. FIR.
Luby of Mt. Clemens, Rev. FIR. Hew-
elt, of All Saints church, Of Flint,
and her pastor, Rev. FIR. Ryan, offic-
iating. The church was filled to it's
capacity with friends and relatives
who carefully paid their last tribute
to a most Christian and beautiful
life. The great bank of flowers upon
which the remains rested was but a
minor evidence of the great love and
esteem in which the deceased was
held. Our heartfelt sympathy is ex-
tended to the husband and daughters
who will never look again upon the
face of their mother and consolor in
this world, but will share with her,
a reward in the world to come.

GERMAN CASUALTIES IN
FRANCCE.

Twenty bucketsfull of identified
ton tags were taken from the Ger
man dead who fell in the first weeks
fighting of the German drive which
opened on March 21, 1918, accord
ing to press report from Holland.
The Identification disks are about the
size of an American quarter, and it
is estimated that there must have
been $4,000 in this one shipment
The German casualties of the first
three weeks of the drive were esti-
mated at 100000. BY the end Of the
first week in September the total
German casualties in 1918, as esti-
mated from the most reliable reports
obtainable, had grown to more than
a million, killed, wounded, and pris-
oners.
