Earl Conley at the Congregational
church in Apollonia last Sunday after

known that the service was to be held,
the church was filled to overflowing by
friends who were glad to show their

by Rev. O'Beirne, of Ladysmith, a mem

repaired to the cemetery where the
usual military honors were paid. Many
from Bruce and the surrounding COM

more would have been there had a more
general notice been given. Earl gave
his life for his country-the supreme
sacrifice. 1t brings a great sorrow to

Only buildings that are absolutely
essential can be built hereafter, during
the period of the war, according to an
order of the War Industries Board. and
the State Council of Defense has been
asked to see that this order is enforced

and urges that no new building projects
be undertaken that can, with safety to
the public interests, be deferred until
after the war.
The Rusk County Council is request
ed, Immediately, to appoint three per-
sons as a county committee on non-war
construction projects. The chairman
must be member of the County Coun-
ell.
Contractors builders, material men,
school officials, farmers and all other
persons interested in building projects
should meet the issue in patriotic
way by deferrihg until after the war

testant, A. H. Mccormick.

is, and should be established as, the
last will and testament of said Ida j

be admitted to probate as such.

is entitled to his reasonable costs and
disbursements in this proceeding, to be
hereafter taxed and determined and
paid out of the estate of said deceased.

gan about July 9Th, 1915, and on the
