her heart, and she died very sudden
ly.

the home Of his daughter, Mrs. Annie
Downey, At the age Of 81 years. The
funeral was held Monday morning,

The family moved to Iowa when he
was but six years old. In 1867 he was

ON were born five children--three boys

tionately called, and his respected
wife, Aunt Ruth" Narshall wiE.
the large family Of boys and girls
moved TO our county IN Tie eaxly so0u.
They settled ON the ranches nix miles
north Of our city and helped to carve
from the wilderness the splendid com
munity which We enjoy. In these eor-
ly days the Marshan ranch was the
home Of good Fellowship and cheer,
the meeting place Of young and old
from the eountryside who always
found . hearty welcome. In later
yeaxs after the ageing couple moved
into town, they were cordially mads {
part II our city life. and never. failed
BY industry and heartiness and kind
words to set the example Of loyal,
whole-souled Americanism to the
youneer generation.

day, most Of m recollect the spontane-
Gus gathering Of friends and well
wishers, who visited them ut the
home Of their daughter, Mrs. Theo.
Davis, to join them In celebrating that
unusual event, their Golden Wedding
anniversary. Last New Years day
was to have witnessed the still more
unusual celebration of their Diamond
Wedding, but time was relentless, and
they were III Ut the time. The grip Of
old age first took Aunt Ruth, who pas
sed away but few months ago, in
August. Now death has claimed the
other life partner and left TO mourn
the passing Of these pioneers, not only
the children and grand-children, but
10 whole host Of afIectionate friends.

The word "Autochir" has been in
vented by Americans in France to de-
scribe an American motor truck train
carrying a special type of load to-
ward the front. The first syllable is
plain enough; the second Is from the
word "c~hirurgical,' the old way of
spelling surgical.
Combined they describe an Ameri-
can Red Cross truck train of eighteen
canions carrying in knock-down form
a tent hospital of zoo beds. One truck
transports q complete operating room
ready to be bolted together and put
into operation in a few minutes. Its
trailer Is a sterilizing room which is
backed up against the operating room
STRUCTURE.
From this trailer the nurse passes
sterilized instruments and supplies to
the geo around the operating Ia
BILE. The other trucks carry double
tenting sturdy framework, floors in
sections, window frames, heating
stoves and full equipment for diet
kitchens. Red Cross construction
crews specially selected and trained
for this work go with the trucks and
within a very short time after the first
truck reaches the selected point the
wards are ready to receive patients.

Fuel Director Garfield is much
encouraged over the coal situation.
If production keeps up at present
rates he says the problem will be
solved. There will be no coal famine
next winter.
But don't fail to order your winter
coal now. That is the fuel admins
tratfon's present and urgent advice.
If the coal man doesn't respond, keep
after him. He will respond, predicts
Garfield. before the SNOW flies.
For the first time in two years coal
is being mined In satisfying q%uanti-
ties. The week ending June 15 saw
the biggest run of soft coal ever
taken from American mines. 1t came
to 100000 tons. The week before
it showed 12,427,0 900 tom and the
week after showed 12,00S,000 tons
and the week ending June 20 showed
a yield of 12,45s,000 tons.
The estimate of fuel experts put
the total requirement of soft coal for
a year at 685, 900, 900 tons. With the
mines turning out coal at an average
of $4,000 600 tons a week 1t Is evident
that this total would be reached with
a small margin to spare.

Hard coal plays q smaller. part II
the nations Industries and the WORK
of the fuel administration. Prac-
tically all hard coal is produced u
seven counties In Pennsylvania -
has been found possible to stimulate
hard coal production only about
per cent and this increase is only
about enough to take care OF the q
creased population in the eastern
states. So an order has been issueq
against shipping any hard coal wess
of the Mississippi river n against
sending any considerable amount OF
hard Goa into the middle west.
The big problem Is to get a WIN
ter's supply of hard and soft coal
into New England before he snow
flies. II the householder does not get
his anthracite. it is because the coal
is being pushed into New England:
1t is going by water and by rail-a4
that the rails will bear. Part-and
a large part-must go by water ana

fered for a time with that work, but
