which interment was made in Oakland

Olga Mueller, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. Mueller, was born in Iowa City
Nov. 81, 1880. When two years of age
she came with her parents to Denison
and it was here that the early years
of her life were spent. She attended
the public schools here, graduating
from the high school. After further
study she taught in the central school
building for five years. She then re-
signed and went to st. Louis. where
she taught in the public schools for
eight years.
On Oct. 7, 1916, she was united in
marriage to Mr.. E. F. Miller, of st.
Louis, Mo-, and they established their
home in that city. 1t was a happy
home, their brief welded life was ideal
in it's bliss and the future seemed to
hold for them many years of happi-
ness The summons to which all must
give heed sooner or later came to their
happy home with a suddenness that
left the devoted husband daZed and
crushed with grief. On Wednesday
evening, January 23d, Mrs. Miller was
taken suddenly ill. A physician was
summoned and ministered to her. She
seemed much better in a short time,
and 1t was expected she would be well
in two or three days. But Thursday
morning after but twelve hours of i'll
ness she passed away. She died at the
early age of 81 years, months and 8
days.
She leaves to mourn her death her
husband, her mother and one brother,
Eugene F.. Mueller, of Washington, D.
c., all of whom were here to attend the
funeral
In the childhood and early life of
the deceased she was member of the
Methodist Sunday school. 1t was her
choice. Here she received instruc-
ton in the book OF life 1t was fitting
indeed that the funeral was held in
the church that she loved. Fitting
that the precious dust should repose
near the scenes of her youth, where
old friends may 'strew the flowers of
spring time and keep sacred in their
hearts the memory of former friend
ships.
Many will join in tenderest sympa-
thy for the bereaved ones and pray
that Gods grace may abundantly sus-
tain them.

ASKS 8-HOUR WORK DAY
/. FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
Representative Borland Says There
Are More Here Now Than Can
Be Used Efficiently.

Demand that government clerks In
Washington should be compelled to
work standard day of eight hours
was made in a speech on the floor OF
the House today by Representative
Borland of Missouri. in endeevoring to
secure support of his proposal that the
working day of federal clerks should
be made eight hours instead of seven
before any action is taken for per-
centage increase in salaries.
Representative Rorland criticized tho
system. which. he says. allows the
"pampered darling Of Uncle Sam" to
get by on what he called q short
change day"
Representative Borland said there arc
Washington and that the government mas
employed more than $4,000 additiona! Tor
war work He estimated that II tho
change was made from a seven-hour to
an eight-hour day at least 1000 OF these
would be released. His criticisms were
directed principally at the Interior De-
partment. where he said. they are safe
and sheltered from war hardships.
Representative Borland censured the
crprlins of commercial ard business in
duStries throughout the country by bring
ing expert stenoGraphers and clerks to
Washington more than are needed here at
this time.
He said "the government has more
clerks here now than it can use, if the
clerks are required to do an honest
days work" He said that the govern
ment's efficiency is decreased in some
departments because there are too
many clerks, around in the way trying
to find something to do.

could do more work and speed up the

now"
He said that expert stenographers
are being brought here and employed
at work which could be done by an
office boy.
IF the government needs stenogra-
piers they can have all that they need,
but they should be doing stenog-
raphers work. l think that the surplus
number of clerks in some departments
should be released to other depart
ments where they are needed"
