END OF LONG LIFE.
Such was The Journey Of Mrs.
Sarah A. Miller, who. Died
in this Place Last Satur.
day Morning.
FUNERAL AND BURIAL AT CROCUs,

Last Saturday morning, October
rs, at about o'clock, Mrs Sarah A.
Miller, one of the best known women
in the South eastern portion of Adair
county passed from death unto life,
at the home of her son-in.law, Mr..
Henry N. Miller, this city. :.
The deceased was in her eightieth
year and had been active in business
affairs since she was a young woman.
By those who knew her well, she was
classed as as ga good business woman. "
She was a daughter of Nathan Nc
Clure and wife, her father during his
lifetime, being one of the most prom
inent men of Russell county, his home
being near the mouth Of Greasy Creek,
where Mrs. Miller and her brother
and sister we're born and reared.
When the subject of this notice was
quite young, she was married to Mr..
Jas P. Miller, noted fnancier, of
Crocus, this county, and it was here
her married life was spent and where
her children were born and reared,
The family had all the comforts OF
life, the husband dying ten or twelve
years ago.
The Miller home was known to ev.
cry body in Adalr and Russell county,
the deceased being classed as "a good
Samaritan as she never turned an
unfortunate from her door, but was
ever ready to furnish bed and succor
to the wayworn and weary. On &C.
count of the attention she paid the
poor, many persons in the Crocus
neighborhood will miss her kindly ad.
monitions, and affectionate donations
While she was woman possessed
of plenty of this worlds goods, she
did not boast, and to the outward
world she was a plain, unassuming
woman.
She loved her children, and if mis-
fortune came to one of them it also
i came to her, and she was ever ready
ITO restore loss to one of her offsprings
- 10 the writer's knowledge, she
leaves six children, Mr.. n. B. Miller

Ballard and Mrs. Henry n. Miller

est, and who is almost heartbroker
On account of the death of her beloved
mother. All the children were with
tbs mother before the end came, and
their faces pictured that they were
soon to lose their dearest friend.
The deceased often talked of her go
ing away, but when she considered
hat she would leave her children in
comfortable circumstances, and being
at peace with her God, she could have
syuly said: 81 would not live Away,
] ask not to stay"
The funeral and burial took place
at Crocus last Sunday afternoon, con
Quoted by Ed E. j. Barger, the
speaker paying high tribute to the
Christian character Of the departed
She had been a member of the Church
of the Diciples for many years.

and sustain the heartbroken children

TRAINING COURSE
PROVIDED NURSES
FOR CHILDREN

In order to meet the immediate
need for public health nurses In con-
nection with the program for ''Chil-
dren's Year." the National Organiza,
tion for Public Health Nursing is
condensing the usual four months
training course to ten weeks. The
plan is as follows:
after ten weeks intensive instruc-
tion students will be recruited for
communities wishing them by a COM
petent public health nurse employed
in each State as supervisor, who will
then place them in established
schools or associations for public
health nursing for eight weeks Of in
struction, observation, and actual ex-
perience. During, or at the end OF
this time, they will be given two
weeks OF intensive instruction in the
principles of public health work. in
social problems, and in special
branches of community work. After
their respective communities to work
under the constant supervision and
instruction Of the State supervisor,
supervision carried on by means Of
visits, letters, and reports. This
plan, while safeguarding the COM
munity against the blunders Of mex
perienced workers, will enable the
nurse to render actual service in the
Children's Year program at the end
Of her first ten weeks training"

WIDER DRAFT AGE
SFINDFAVOR
ON CAPITOL HILL

Secretary Of War Bakers announce
ment that he intends to recommend
extension Of draft age limits came
today as welcome news to Congress
men favoring such action.
Thus far nothing had been revealed
officially, however, to indicate what
limits he vouh suggest. Baker is
known to believe strongly in lower
ing the draft age to nineteen or 20,
but he has been Ioath to make the
upper limit forty-ffve or more.
\ survey is still being made to de-
tsrmine how industry would be af-
fected by Including The supper age
classes. In general ie may be said
that Bakers suggestions are already
outlined after a carefur consultation
between him and the general staff.
Baker said he proposed to ask a
somewhat larger" military force. The
Baker program will be presented to
Congress when it gathers again at the
end OF August. With il Will go re-
quests for heavy apprc pria1ions to

1t is assumed that provision will be
made for obtaining a number Of older
men for special service as well as
sufficient conbatants to prevent new

Forty-Eve Years Old!
The cigarette industry the

SWEET CAPORAL founded
thecigarette industry in this country
IS years ago this month.
Way back in '6S, while on tour
ofSouth America, Mr.. F. S. Kinney,
wealthy New Yorker, smoked
some native cigarettes-strong
affairs wrapped in coarse, brown
paper.
But those South American ciga-
rettes gave Mr.. Kinney a big idea.
He believed if cigarettes could be
made both pure and mild, they
would eventually become the
worlds most popular form of
Ismoking because cigarettes are
not only short smoke, and easy to
carry, but they are an inexpensive
smoke.

GERMAN SONGS BANNED
IN D. c. SCHOOL BOOKS

The Association of Patriotic Socie
ties which is seeking to eliminate
from books used in the public schools
every laudatory mention of anything
German, has received a letter from
Mcmillan & Co., publishers OF the
Washington school song book. saying
that the Objectionable German songs
will be omitted from a new edition
with American patriotic songs.
"It is peculiar" said William
Mather Lewis, OF the Patriotic Socie-
ties, "that in the song book used by
the schools in the District there
should be many songs by German
composers, and some even printed in
German, while there are no French or
Italian songs printed in the native
language. and few by native COM
posers." The Association OF Patriotic
Societies, according to Mr.. Lewis, is
willing to go to the extreme OF
abolishing the playing OF Beethoven
and other great German artists.

WRITING PAPER
GETTING SCARCE;
MILLSLACK LABOR

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-Rumors
of a shortage in paper come thick and
fast and It is virtually a fact that this
commodity is rapidly becoming scarcer,
though not from the commonly accepted
causes Nor Is one kind or color Of
paper more likely to be affected by war
time conditions than any other. 1t has
lately been the common belief that white
paper would be scarcer than other kinds
Of bond or commercial papers because
the bleaching elements required for the
white had been requisitioned by the
United States Government for the manu-
facture OF explosives
Prominent officers OF the Megargee-
Hare Company. the Garrett Buchanan
Company, and the d. L. Ward Company,
three OF the largest paper concerns In
the city, declare that the Governments
requistion OF chemicals has so far affect
ed the paper business but very slightly.
and lay the shortage to other reasons.
Never before have manufacturers OF
paper found the labor situation difficult
to deal with. Not only is there a lack
OF skilled labor but the scarcity OF un-
trained labor is so acute that a number
their plants entirely or to greatly de-
crease their production
The transportation problem, too. Is
one that has had a marked effect in
cutting down the output. First there
was the difficulty OF getting the raw ma
terials to the mill Once there Il has
been. and Is still. a problem to convert it
into the finished product. Even then the
manufacturer had no idea OF when or
how he was to get It to his agents or the
jobbers. The receipt of paper ship
mentS is now so uncertain that neither
manufacturers nor paper houses will
make any promise as to delivery
Added to the natural causes Of short
age under the unusual conditions, there
is also to be considered the greatly in
creased demand for paper. The United
States Government alone. now the great
est user OF bond and commercial paper
in the country, has. since the war, multi
piled its use OF paper in almost incredible
ways. This would largely account for a
considerable part OF the shortage.
Even before the war began, the rapid
deforestation OF the country's wooded
tracts had become a source Of general
alarm, and steps have already been taken
to insure the nation against a forestless
future. Following hard on the heels OF
this situation came the war, lack Of
labor, and congested traffic. That IS
why paper Is becoming scarcer and more
costly.
