Eb. N. Ingram, who will be 70 next
Feb. 23rd, was a Post Dispatch visitor
Monday. He is the man who already
has his tombstone erected and in place,
in the graveyard near his house, and all
that is lacking is his body in the grave
and the date of His death on the tomb
stone. But he says from the way he
feels now it will be many year before
w. N. Everett will be called upon to fin
ish the inscription.
Mr.. Ingram says he thinks the Govern
ment ought to supply our farmers with
German war prisoners, and so help re-
lieve the labor shortage. Loading Ger
man prisoners on the homeward bound
transports would protect the vessels from
submarines, and our folks would get the
advantage of their labor.

give your friends and relatives for Christ

the ordinary gift does. Think of this.
