( the death of Mrs. August Schultz,

reatment and relief.
Mrs. Schultz had been a sufferer
Dr. several years and submitted to an
peration from which it appeared for
time that she would receive some
enefit, but change came which re-
ulted in her death.
Mrs. August Schultz nee lBugge, was
Orn in Germany, Sept. rs, 1850. In
he year 1875, she was married to
.ugust Schultz, who still survives
or. The year following, they came

vo miles west Of Kiron, where they
ave made their home for nearly for
u years. Last spring they left the
Id homestead in charge of one of
leir sons and moved to the Albert
herman place, two miles southeast

NATIONS LACK FORESIGHT

I DR.. Butler, president of Columbia
university wrote the following for
|circulation by the National Security
League in its nationwide effort to
AROUSE the people of the country to a
realization of the true meanings of
the war and the results of the con-
fiict on the life and ideals Of the ma
ton.
(By j. Nicholas Murray Butler)
The record of the last four years
shows that the free nations of the
world have sadly lacked foresight. Au-
tocracy knew what was coming, helped
to bring it on, and Systematically or
ganized and prepared for it. The free
peoples did not know what was com
ing, and they are now paying the
heavy cost of failure to forecast the
future and to be ready quickly and
effectively to meet it's problems.
Single Language Vital.
The war has brought clearly to view
the fact that national unity is endan.
gered, not only by illiteracy, which
fact has long been recognized, but by
diversity of language with its result
ing lack of complete understanding
have a homogeneous or safe basis
and cooperation. No country can
for its public opinion and its institu-
lions unless these rest upon the foun
dation of single language. To pro-
.tect the national unity and security
no American community should be
permitted to substitute any other Ian
guage for English as the basis or in
strument Of common school educa-
ton. Wherever another language has
been introduced into the common
schools, whether for conscious propa-
ganda or otherwise, it should be ruth
lessly stamped out as wrong against
our national unity and our national
integrity.
Mo time should be lost in making
adequate provision to teach English
to those adult immigrants who are
beyond the reach of the elementary
school and yet have cast in their lot
with the people of the United States.
A knowledge of the English language
and evidence of some real understand
ing of the history and meaning Of our
institutions should be required before
the privilege of suffrage is conferred
upon one who has grown up in an
other civilization than ours and under
another flag than the Stars and the
Stripes.

Little Known Of Shooting stars.

Our knowledge Of shooting stars ex-
tends into the oldest history Of human
ity, back into prehistoric times. Yet
today no one knows exactly what a
shooting star Is, or from where it
comes. An hypothesis proposed in 1875
and generally accepted today, Is that
meteorites are fragments broken from
small planetary masses by volcanic ex-
plosions, brought about by a sudden ex-
pansion Of gasses, steam and probably
hydrogen. The broken bits, after their
separation, are believed to arrange
themselves in swarms which cross the
orbit of the earth in accordance with a
definite law. Shooting stars, then, un-
doubtedly come from within our solar
system and are broken bits Of world
body destroyed by volcanic events.
Many meteorites have been found IN
Arizona. Popular Science Monthly.

|
ceremony took place at the Presbyte-
rian church on Sunday morning at
the usual morning service, when a
service flag containing thirty stars
for the members of that church and
Sunday school who are in the army,
was dedicated
The church was very appropriately
decorated for the occasion, asparagus
fern entwined with small flags and a
large American flag and small silk
flags of the allies being used.
The service opened with patriotic
anthem by the choir, after which
short talk was given by Mr.. Luce, who
has been occupying the pulpit during
the absence of Rev. Karr. Mrs. R. 0.

touching selection entitled God will
bring you safely to our arms again."

presented to the church and Sunday

young ladies of Mrs. w. E. Terry's
the boys in service. Mr. Sears Nc
Henry responded for the church in an
appropriate manner and Mr.. w. D.
Luney in behalf Of the Sunday school.
The names of the boys represented
were then read and as each name was
called relative came forward and
placed their star upon the flag. Mr..
McHenry read letter which had been
received from one of the boys, in
khaki which was indeed interesting
and appreciative.
The ceremony was brought to a
close by singing "The Star Spangled
Banner" by the congregation led by
the choir.
The flag is very beautiful emblem,
being made of satin and four feet by
six feet in dimensions, and is the work
