OBITUARY
Dn1-As

Geh1en Prentice Palmer, the eldeSl
son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. "A. Palmer, was
born at Oregon, ILL.,, on April %
1903. f' ~.
Gehlen came with his family tt
Cresco six years ago last March, He
speedily made friends and kept then
until his death. He entered the school
life and spirit with will and was
very popular with the entire school
his sunny smile and good natured
disposition making him welcome in
any group. His love of fun, not only
made his own life an extremely happy
one, but frightened every one with
whom he came in contact. In spite
of his genial disposition he showed a
quality of determination and grit that
his parents can remember with pride
Although only boy Gehlen possess
ed fine character. He was willing
at any time to help or share with his
friends. That he was straightforward
and honest was proved in his school
life He always chose to dig for him
self rather than copy from his neigh
Dor. His mind was bright and alert
and although a year younger than
most of his classmates, he was, pre-
pared to enter his Junior year in
high school this fall. y
He was somewhat smaller than his
school mates, but had healthy, ac-
tive body. He liked athletics and
continued to play although he knew
his weight would bar him from the
teams. He played simply because of
his love of sport and his loyalty to
the school. He showed especial ap-
titude for military drill and was one
of the most proficient members of
the boys military company.
He was baptized at the Congrega-
tional church about a year ago and
has always been a faithful member
of the Sunday school and Christian
Endeavor society. One Of his last
plans was to have the the Endeavorers
meet at his home while he was con-
valescent.
Gehlen was especially helpful at
home, where he was always . ray of
sunshine. He was doing an errand
for his mother when he met with the
accident which resulted in his death.
AS he was hurrying home on the sev-
ening of Aug. % the faithful family
horse slipped and fell, which re-
suited in broken leg for Gehlen.
He bravely and cheerfully bore the
pain and hardship and for a time
his recovery seemed certain. But
other complications developed, bring
ing his happy life to close on the
morning of September 9Th. 1918.
Gehlen was familiarity known to his.
friends as "Dan" and his death makes
the first break in the group of young
people with whom he was intimately
associated. ~
There are left to mourn his death,
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. A.
Palmer, two brothers, Kenneth and
Reece, two sisters, Clara and Maxine,
and host of other relatives and
friends.

tents have been added. a thousand
sheets of writing paper per day, at q
total cost of $500, have been given to
the men during the five months these
camps have been opened.
~. Activities in the Army Huts.
The only recreation place in camp be-
sides the wet canteen is the Young
Mems Christian association. There
can be no wonder that the men who
desire the better things throng to
these huts. Many Welshmen are
among these men and their reputa-
ton for being good singers has not
been lost at the camps. Every We'd
nesday and Sunday evening special
services have been conducted in the
Welsh language by some of the SOL.
diers themselves. a Sunday after
noon Bible class and an English song
and devotional service Sunday eve
ming have been regular features. We
have been fortunate in securing
Poona's best speakers from colleges
and missions to lecture on Indian
customs, religions, peoples education,
crops, soil, etc. No doubt many men
will remain in india after the war
for missionary or educational work
because or these lectures. EItnef q
lantern show, lecture, concert, cinema,
song service, or games tournament
is on the daily program.
v The City Indian) Branch, The
city branch of the Young Mems
Christian association in Poona was
organized but ten years ago. as
need in Poona is evident in its very
growth Started with but thirty
members in 81 rented house, the men,
bership today stands at more than
600, made up of Hindus, Mohamme-
dams, Parsees, Christians, etc. From
a little rented house it has come to
stand on it's own ground of over four
acres: from only a few activities, it
now follows an extensive program,
planned out for the all-round up
building of character outdoor and in
door recreation, social evenings and
outings, literary debates, talks and
lectures, II regular series of educa-
tional, economic, social, and religious
lectures, commercial classes, social
service class, etc It's budget has
grown from RS. 90 to RS. $500. Tho
government has already given Al grant
toward the purchase of the present
site and now offers q grant OF VOW
toward the erection of the permanent
building. $4,000 will erect splendid
building for this most important cen
ter of influence.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur Darl>ens SO Naturally
That Nobody Can Tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
Hfeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands Of women and men who
Value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-tirne recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle Of "Wyeth"s Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair SO naturally, SO evenly
that nobody can possibly veil it has
been applied. You just dampen n
enonre or soft brush with it and draw
This through your hair taking one
small strand at n time By morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after Il few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.

oc;t~1nce to the HAIR. Tt is not in
