In connection with the stock show,

which government officials will under

Flu May Stay Three Years.

Plans for combating another influ-
III epidemic which is expected to
sweep the country in 1919 are now be-
ing considered by eminent medical au-
thorities of eastern cities. These au-
thorities say that all the influenza cpl
denies since 1923 have beer recurrent
for from two TO three years after the
initial outbreak of the disease. For
this reason it is expected that the Wis
itation of this year VII be repeated in
1919 and probably in 1920. Also it is
pointed out hat in previous epidemics
the second and third outbreaks have
been more yirulent and attended by "A
higher mortality rate than were the in
itial manifestations.

Frederick w. Holck was the only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. c.. f. Holck of
Saratoga. and he had grown from boy
hood to mans estate in this commu-
nifty, where he will be greatly missed
by a large circle of friends. He was 4

He was born Mt La Porte City, Iowa.
January IA, 1889, and at the age of II
years removed with his parents to Sar
atoga,, which place, with the exception
of two years, has since been his home.
For the past two years he had been

in the Pilon Mercantile Company store.

and a most faithful and capable an

He leaves to mourn his death the
wife and these little ones, and his

voted husband. a kind father, a tender
and loving son. To the wife and little
ones this loss is irreparable. For the
father and mother, who are nearing
life's evening shadows, to be thu be-
reft is sad beyond words.
The funeral services. conducted by
the Rt. Rev. Father Conrath of st.

He had been very until the Saturday
before his death. when he seemed very

they will be more popular even than

tionably saves fabric. He thus bases
his prediction of coming demand for
the eton on the belief that fabrics
will be scarce and higher in price
