Mrs. Windham was a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Hibbler. The
place Of her nativity. Warsaw. Ala.
Born in 1852-christened Mary Frances.
In her early life her parents removed
to Cooksville, Miss, where she was
reared in a home of love, refinement
and plenty. Her wishes we're antici'
pated and gratiied; her parents. sisters
and brothers were devoted to her, and
her friends were all who knew her.
Her educational advantages were su-
perior, all of which she improved. Her
alma mater was at Salem. N. G. An
accomplished musician, she pleased and
edited ali who came within the radius
of her charming circle. Hers was an
attractive personality; affable, humor-
Gus. entertaining, still she had decision
of character and her warm heart beat.

came the bride Of Mr.. Walter D. Wind

man of Hebron vicinity, and all these
years they have dwelt there and at
Cochrane. God blessed their home

Mrs. Windham was a good and loving

and training of her children. She made
her home comfortable and attractive

of her home loved and trusted her. She
was the light that ever drew them

gave her heart to God, and joined the
M. E. Church, South. The last years
of her life were years of service to the
Master; she delighted to attend the ser.

read her Bible with greater love and
understanding than ever before. She

A loyal friend, she greeted all with

''The loved and lost! Why do we call
her lost
Because we miss her from our on
ward road.

Looked on us all and loving her the
most,
Straightway relieved her of life's weary

How often u dearest joys are but
the prelude to the deepest sorrow that
comes to US like a bolt from a clear

sympathy with our friends, who, on

ralgia of the heart. The fatal stroke
suudered the brittle thread of life. as a
golden harp is silenced when its vibrat-
ing strings are %ruthlessly riven. Ply
stefan and neighbors rushed in but the
vital spark had fled, and the household
was plunged into inconsolable grief. Her
absent children and brothers were noti-
fled at once of the sad event. Mr.. and
Mrs w. T. Conner and daughter of Ma
con, and Mr.. and Mrs. j. Z. Hibbler of
Paulette were soon with the grief
stricken ones, while other relatives and
many friends went to the house OF
mourning to endeavor to assuage their
anguish of heart. Walter d., Jr. of

DRY FARM REPORT

Mr.. Faris came in from the More
land country Wednesday and brought
some samples of wheat and oats that
have developed rapidly in the past
fortnight, and give promise of a very
good yield. The grain stands from
twenty to thirty inches high, and
has fair-sized heads, and kernels lust
starting to form.
Mr.. Faris stated that the recent
rains seem sufficient to mature all
the grain that has not already passed
the stage Of bloom and milk, and
that the rodents have ceased their
activity to great extent. It seems
that the plants pass a certain stage
when the rich sap is not available
by cutting off the stalk, and then
they cease to cut it down. Alto
gether the prospects of the dry farm
ers is not so bad land in many in
stances 1T is quite reasuring.

RURAL TRANSPORTATION BY
THE MOTOR EXPRESS SYSTEM
National Council of Defense Sets Forth Advant-
ages of the Plan-Details and Suggestions for
the Greater Extension of the Motor Method of
Carrying Uncle Sans Mails and Helping Win
the War.

The heads of the several councils
OF defense and the county agents in
the numerous farm bureaus in each
state have received the following let.
ter referring to the rural motor
express, followed by q report made
by the highways transport commit.
tee:
The letter follows:
Washington, D. C.May1O,191S.
944 Munsey Building
Dear Sir: A new and unusual de-
velopment in highways transporta-
ton, Of particular advantage to the
rural population is described in the
enclosed bulletin. The purpose of
the council of national defense in
urging establishment of rural motor
express lines is the conservation of
food and man power, as we'll as the
furnishing of regular, convient and
economical transportation to the
rural sections.
To secure the extension of rural
motor express lines we have the CO.
operation Of the state council of de-
Tense, the federal, state and local
food administrator; representatives
of the employment service of the
department of labor and other or
CARNATIONS interested in improving
transportation facilities.
The highways transport committee
Is being organized to direct the work
in your state. An announcement
concerning the plan of this commit
tee will come to you direct from your
state council. In the meanwhile,
we suggest that you bring to our at
tention any local transportation sit
uations which the rural motor ex-
press may help to improve.
Very sincerely yours,
HIGHWAYS TRANSPORT COMMIT
TEE COUNCIL OF NATIONAL
DEFENSE.
The following Is acomplete report
following an investigation by the
above committee:
The transportation burden ON the
railroads and highways of the coun-
try has been tremendously Increased
by the war. There is a larger load to
be carried, Of manufactured goods,
raw materials, and foodstuffs. Not
only has production of manufactures,
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-07-19

raw materials, and farm produce in
creased, but it is now necessary to
transport much larger proportion
o fthese goods over long distances.
The burden is further increased
by the fact that We have removed
across the sea, 5000 miles away, a
considerable part of our population,
which must be provisioned and MAIN
tanned. These men were in our army
camps last winter. This year there
are other men in these camps, and
we must handle goods and foodstuffs
not only to these thirty new cities,
but to great population 5000 miles
away.
1t is absolutely necessary to utilize
to the maximum and to extend the
use fthe highways by the more eff
f1cient use of motor vehicles which
can operate Independent of fixed
lines or terminals, where conges-
ton of traffic is likely to occur.
The motor truck can help the rail-
road by reducing the short-haul load
and also act as feeder line in Sec
lions far removed from market.
Added to the increased loads Of
goods to be transported is the fact
that man power must be conserved.
Heretofore the farmer has done his
own hauling to market, but adoption
o fthe rural motor express will en-
able him to delegate his hauling and
to devote his own time to farm OPP
erations. An enormous waste of
time and labor of both men and
teams can be prevented by CONSOLE
dating the small loads from num-
Der of farms into a single load to
be carried by motor truck.
In many localities local food sup
plies are in need of development. A
better use must be made of agricul-
tural lands in the immediate vicinity
Of population centers. 1t improves
the business of the local community
and adds to the total food supply of
the country. The improvement of
marketing facilities thru the OPEN
ing of regular daily traffic to mar
ket centers and shipping points is
a most effective agency in encourag-
ing food production.
We have, therefore, three out
standing facts that demand especial
