The deceased was born in CORTLAND

and grew to womanhood. On June
80, 1898 she was united in marriage to
Herman Poehler, her surviving husband.
Their union was happy one, and the
couple would have celebrated their
silver wedding on the last day of this
month, had she lived. Four children
were born to them; of these, three are
still living, Bernhard c., 10, who was
graduated from the New Ulm High
School with the last class, William, j.,
IA, and Esther, II; the fourth child,
Lydia, died in her infancy.
Mrs. Poehler's health had been good
until about three years ago. It was
then she began to all and in spite of the
best of medical care she did not recover
from complication of diseases. In
January she went to Florida, but the
change of climate failed to restore her
health. She longed for her children
ard her home, so Mr.. Poehler, during
the latter part of April, went to Florida
and brought Ter back to CORTLAND.
The return trip was quite strain and
she, came back very ill. She rallied,
however,. but. soon thereafter suffered
a paralytic stroke and an attack OF
pneumonia. Friday, June 7, she breath:

Besides her mourning husband and
children she leaves two sisters, Sophie

her brother, August, and Mrs. Minnie

Frederick H., and August, all Of Court.

large number OF relatives and trends
who deeply mourn her loss.
Mrs. Poehler had always been a de-
voted member of the Lutheran Church
at CORTLAND, taking keen interest ir
the welfare of the congregation. Ir
the community in which she lived she
was highly respected. This became
quite apparent last Monday when the

President Approves the
Timely Injunction Sent
BY Redfield to Chiefs

President Wilson has set the stamp
of his approval upon timely injunc-
ton addressed by Secretary Redfield
to his bureau chiefs. It is to be cir
culated, posted up, and made guild
ing rule in the transaction Of all war
business. It should be golden rule,
a precept always to be needed:
"Forget how things were done be-
fore the war; eliminate red tape.
We must learn with Germans that the
war won't watt Delay is the kaiser's
ally" s.~p..-.-. 81. ~.
Heads Of department bureaus are
not alone insisting upon doing things
this year as they did them last year
and the year before that. The "busi-
ness as usual" pleasure as usual"
aud my own interests arst' advocates
are just as guilty as the tape-bound
bureau chiefs, All such are playing
Germany's game Of delay.
1t is the business Of each individual
to bestir himself to help win the war.
1t is the business Of all to realize that
everything is changed, that nothing can
be done this year AZ it was last.
We must do the things the war de-
mands, and do them now.

curry, one of the most deadly OF pol
sons.
One Of these drugs might be picked
up for the other, in the dark or even
in the daytime, If the label was not
carefully read by the one seeking to
take the medicine. This has resulted
in an innocent father killing his child,
or perhaps his wife, or in some cases
himself.
Another great mistake is to change
drug from one bottle to another
without altering the label. It is often
done in dividing up the contents Of
rare drug with neighbor. The one
receiving the unlabeled bottle depends
upon his memory, which often fails
him, and fatal mistake results.
A very short time ago knew Of q
generous doctor dividing up a rare
drug with one of his colleagues, intend
ing to label the bottle he kept for him
self. He neglected to do so, and not
long after he wanted to use the drug
and picked up what he believed to be-
the proper bottle, but which proved to
contain an agent active in its power to
destroy tissue. This he dropped into
his eye and only escaped Having his
eye destroyed by a narrow margin.
Now this is quite common mistake,
and people have been made blind by
this carelessness. Drugs that are most
useful are, as a rule, most dangerous,
and should always be kept under lock
and key and plainly labeled. At pres
ent we are being robbed enough Of the
members of our families during the
war, 80 that we should have no pa.

OF tho dollar you'll find
There is many a kind
While you seek 1t, as men have to do:
And you shouldn't neglect
Some care to select
Tho kind 1t is best to pursue.
There's the dollar that works,
And the dollar that shirks;
There's the dollar that loves to assist:
There's the dollar that Stacks
And just stands in it's tracks,
When 1t ought to get out and enlist
There's the dollar that thrives
And the one that contrives,
An indolent fancy to please;
The dollar that hopes ,s''
And the dollar that gropes
In tho haunts Of improvident ease.
3 There are dollars that roam;
There are those that stay home,
They are built both for Joy and regrees
And success will depend,
More or less, in the end,
On the kind OF dollar you get.

Shot by Own Trap.

Alfred Mier, an aged farmer, who
resides alone on his farm near Ben
netts Corners, nine miles southeast of
Berea, O., set a trap for the thieves in
his barn by running wire from the
door to two revolvers. He had been
missing tools from the barn. Recently
he forgot his trap and stumbled
against the wire. One Of the revolv-
ers was discharged and the bullet en-
tered his leg just below the hip. BE
was taken to a Cleveland hospital in .

PROMOTE AMERICAN
FLYERS WITH FRENCH
Those Actively Engaged In Aerial
Fighting to Get Commissions
in United States Army.

Nearly 800 American youths are
either flying at the front in the French
aviation service, or are finishing their
schools in France.
They are all volunteers and were
recruited chiefly from the ambulance
services, where they were formerly
drivers on the French 'front.'
They are entirely separate and dis
tinct from the hundreds Of American
youths who are In the aviation branch
Of the signal corps of the United
States army and who are receiving
their training in various schools
taken over from the French army.
It is expected that all Of these
Americans now officiating with tho
French army will be taken over by the
American expediuonary force under
the command Of General Pershing,
soon after the first Of the year. e
Those who have been actively en-
gagged in aerial fighting for some time,
like the members Of the Lafayette
Escadrille and score Of more other
Americans attached to various French
units, viii probably receive captain
cies in the United States army.
Others. who have only been at the
front for a short time, will be made
first neutenants, and 1t is expected
that all the rest-practically every
man holding brevet from the French
schools, will be made q second leu
tenant in the United States army.
This will be q marked promotion,
as in the French air service the men
automatically become corporals when
pupils at the flying schools, and then
sergeants when they receive their
brevets as aviators. Their next pro-
motion to sublieutenant may come at
any time or never.
Raoul Givas Lufbery, the American
ace, with IS German machines off,
cially to his credit, is only a sublieu-
tenant in the French service, step
above the ordinary beginners, who are
sergeants.
william Thaw of Pittsburgh, who
was in the Foreign Legion during the
FIRST year of the war and then entered
aviation and organized the American
EscadrilIe, as the Lafayette unit was
first called, has been made first lieu
tenant In the French army. 1t is be-
lieved that both he and Lufbery viii
receive commissions as flight-ma3oge
n the United States army. ss=s

PENROSE WILL
ATTACK SCOTT
Senator Says That He Will
Discuss the Congressman;
Beidleman Favored

Senator Boies Penrose yesterday
followed up his announcement of
opposition to the Lieutenant Gov
ernor aspirations of Congressman
John r. X. Scott, of Philadelphia, by
endorsing Senator E. e. Beidleman,
of this city, and announcing that he
would take the stump against Scott.
The Public Ledger says of it to-
day: "a fight to the finish for state
control of the Republican organiza-
ton, with the candidacy of Repre-
sentative John r. K. Scott for the
nomination for Lieutenant Governor
as the objective of attack, was pro-
jected yesterday by Senator Penrose
and upstate leaders with him."
The North American, which is Bit
terly opposed to Scott, says: "Sena-
tor Penrose yesterday indorsed the
candidacy of State Senator Edward
E. Beidleman, of Harrisburg, who
announced himself Monday as a
candidate against Scott. I expect Mr..
Beidleman to make an aggressive
fight and be nominated with great
ease" Senator Penrose said yester-
day. I'm fact. a good many people
think Mr.. Scott will not be pressed
as candidate. Later on as the cam
paign develops, 1 expect to have
more to say, but now l am content to
let the situation develop. AS far as
my duties in Washington permit, /
will pay visits to different parts of
the state, and already 1 have some
tentative engagements. How far I
will go through the state will depend
on conditions at Washington and the
developments of the campaign.

of Mr.. Scott as candidate"
Speaking editorially the Philadel-
phia Bulletin says: "The announce
ment of Senator Beidleman, of Dau-
phin county, that he is a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Lieutenant Governor Is the opening
signal for a general contest in the
state over this office between the
Penrose men, as supporters of Bel
dleman, and the Ware -Brumbaugh
forces as hackers of John r. K.
Scott. The opposition to Scott is by
no means based solely on factional
grounds. Many Republicans en-
phatically oppose him because they
do not consider him personally as q
type of man who should occupy this
office, with the possibility that an un-
expected vacancy might make him
