bleau, Missouri, January 10th, 1889,
and passed away at her home in Po-
cassel. okla, ON Oct 10th, 1915.
Her death was caused by pneumonia
contracted from Spanish influenza.
On October 7th 1905, she was mar
ried to Dave Davidson, at Bolivar
Mo. To this union were born two
children, Gomar age u, and Muir

has always meant so much to them
She was converted when but II
years Of age, at Hopewell Missouri
and united with the Baptist church
of which she remained a faithful
and consistent member until her
death. Her religion was a part of
her everyday life and she was new
er known to neglect her religious
duties in giving of her time and
means to the support of the church
she loved SO well.
In her own home her religious in
nuence was brought to bear upon
the members of her family. Having
been born and reared in a home
which was governed by the highest
and nobest principles of Christian
living, she brought before her own
children those same principles OF
christian citizenship, and young
though her children are, the fruits
of her labor could already be seen.
In her life she was obedient to
Cod true to her home in the noblest
sense of the word and loyal to her
friends and associates. In passing
away, she leaves a heritage far great
err than all the wealth Of the world
the heritage of true christian life,
and devoted wifehood and mother
hood

home Thursday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. Luton, Of Pocasset The
burial was in the Pocasset cemetery.

KELSEY IN FRANCE
DOES GREAT WORK FOR FRENCH
ORPHANED CHILDREN.

w. !. Kelsey, of Oskaloosa. former
professor at Penn College is making
remarkable record in child rescue
work in France so much so that his
effort is attracting public comment
The Stars and Stripes. official news,
paper publication of the EXpeditionary
Forces in France has the following in
its issue of June %:
w. l. Kelsey, secretary of the Y NJ

in the orphan campaign. He makes
collections at the Y. NJ. C. A. meetings
and has box for donations in the
canteer
Up to last Sunday he had gathered
enough for the support of two children
for year and, at the regular Sunday
night meeting. he explained the
scheme and, before departing, the
gathering contributed a round 500
francs for q third.
The Stars and Stripes tells how tC
adopt an orphan. as follows:
"A company, detachment, or grouT
of the A. E. F., agrees to adopt a child
for a year, contributing 500 francs
($S7.12) for its support. The children
of French soldiers so seriously Grip
pied that they cannot work, or refuge
from the invaded districts, as specified
by the adopting units.
The money will be sent to the
Stars and Stripes to be turned ovel
to a special committee of the Ameri
can Red Cross for disbursement. A
least $50 francs will be paid upor
adoption and the remainder within
! four months thereafter.
Photographs and the history o
each child will be sent to its adopt

child's whereabouts and advised
monthly of its progress. The Rel
Cross will determine the disposal o
the child. It will be maintained IL

DISTANCES TO GERMANY.

While the German capital city of
Berlin is about 500 miles from the
lattle front where the fighting is now
n progress, the German border line
much closer. In fact, down near
he Swiss border, the allied armies
ire already on German soil.
From Amiens through Belgium to
he nearest point on the German from
Ter Is $50 miles. From Rheims to
The border is 10 miles, but from
3aderviller to the important city of
Strassburg is only 40 miles.
Nomeny and Arracourt, held by
he Allies, are on the German border,
while below ST. Die the battle line
rosses the boundary into Germany,
md American troops are now en-
renched there.
Up in Belgium it is only 80 miles
between the British lines running
through Newport and Dixmude to the
Holland border. In this narrow
strip is the important fortress of

LIBERTY LOAN AND BANKS.

The effect of the Liberty Loans and
he War Savings Stamps on savings
banks deposits has been watched
With keen interest by economists and
inanciers. The experience of Eng
and was very encouraging; in the
year 1916 the English small deposit
yrs purchased billions of dollars of
var bonds and at the same time in
,reaser their deposits in savings
banks over S6O,O0O,0O0.
The belief is entertained that the
result in America has been very sim
liar to that in England, and that de-
spite the purchase by the American
people of some $4,000, 100000 of Lib
erty Bonds and $5OO.000,0O0 of War

Full reports have been received
from the savings banks in New York

posts for the last year of only $4,000
900, but an increase Of 21,252 deposit
ors The loss in deposits is insignia
cant; the increase in the number OF
depositors very significant With
increased cost of living and other war

on the road and indications were that
the march would be made in record
time. During the first night heavy
rain storm washed out the roads and
the next morning it was found inn
possible for the cavalry to proceed.
The general sized up the situation
and ordered his infantry to proceed.
Squad after squad splashed along
through the mud, until finally fair
sized path was formed. over which

The sight of the infantry wading
through the mud reminded a cavalry

knead the dough for bread. He voiced
his thoughts to his comrades and inn
mediately they took up the expression

CLOSED FOR A WEEK
RED CROSS WORKERS HAVE A
FEW DAYS RESPITE

Work on our last quota of surgical
dressings has been greatly delayed
because a part of the material has not
come. About 5000 drains have been
made and between 1000 and 5000
tampons are ready to send. But the
cellu.cottOn for the pads is still on
the way, somewhere" and the larg-
Ell part of our quota of 1900 pads is
yet to be made.
We have decided to close the work
room for a week, giving some of our
faithful workers IA chance to attend
chautauqua.
We hope by that time, our material
will have come, also cooler weather,
and we can go to work with more en-
ergy. The good news coming from
over there" brings both joy and sor-
row, for this good news must mean
that our men are being wounded and
are dying.
How many of you Oskaloosa women
really feel you are doing your part in
preparing the necessary dressings for
these wounded men? How many hours
week are you giving to this work?
Ask yourself, women of Oskaloosa
mothers, sisters, wives, friends of our
soldiers over there fighting for us:
Am | doing my part?" Am | stand
! ing back of these mem" One of the
woman writer's over there says in an
| article in a recent paper:
Hundreds of soldiers with whom
| talked showed me pictures of theii
women at home. They said loving
| things, proud things, but the women
they were the proudest of, were those
who were doing some kind of rea
war service. my sister Elizabeth is
| the head of the Red Cross canteen al
| the union station in my town. They
| feed hundreds of men every time
troop train goes through
my wife is pretty busy these days
with the children and her surgical
dressings classes"
"These are the things the men like
| to think of their women doing while
they are away. They see the womer
workers in the canteens of the Rec
Cross and the Y. NJ. C. A. in France
| They see nurses and women ambu
lance drivers working regardless o
WEAKNESS, careless of danger. The!
| see all around them unselfish, cour
ageous service. The spirit is in Tho
air over there, and the men like tc
| feel that their women at home are
like that too"

THOSE coLoREp TROOPS.

When a farewell supper was being
attended one of the big punches OF
Mahaska county boys who are leaving
for the war, there were five colored
boys present, and as a mark of respect
to them, Rev. d. w. Brown, of Shorter
Chapel A. NJ. E. church was called up
on for q toast.
Rev. Browns himself "a soldier of the
civil war was equal to the occasion II
every way. He made a splendid five
minute talk. and brought the whole
assembly of nearly 200 men TO theii
feet when he said:
When the colored troops were
first called into the Civil war they
were few in number, poorly equip
ped and ignorant. The rebel lead
ers laughed them to scOrn. But
when their numbers increased and
they became broke TO shell and
minnie ball, the Rebels were glad
to seek shelter every time they
: saw a black cloud approaching.
And believe me when we get
enough colored men in the big war
across the water, the Kaiser and
his other butchers will make a
bee line for Berlin. and will stop
there only long enough to get
breath and a glass of beer"
Rev. Brown seems 10 have a splen
did conception of the fighting qualities
of the colored men when aroused in
cause that is right. A dispatch from
London supports his statement wher
it says:
London-0fficers from the front
bring astonishing reports of the
work done by American Negro
troops brigaded with General Gou-
raud's army east of Rheims Their
specially is the bayonet, in the use
Of which they excel all others.
They prefer cold steel and they
have piled up a score in killing
Germans which breaks all pre-
yious records.
French officers are delighted
with their prowess. and they
will welcome fresh Negro drafts to
work alongside their own Afri-
rams '..f's .H.'....
