OF Blanche Martin who died Sun
day, December 18th, aged nearly fiji
teen years.
Once more was the uncertainty OF life Z
and the certainty of death brought
before us as we gazed on all that is
earthly OF Blanche Martin. She was
taken sick with that dreadful dis
ease, influenza, and in ten days she
was numbered with the dead She
died, peacefully, happy and without a
struggle. All that loving father,
mother, sister and brother could do to
prolong her life was unavailing. Her
death has cast gloom over the com
munity, for both old and young loved
her. She was favorite at the school,
and it seems hard to think she will
never join the band of loving school
mates again. 1t is hard to realize
that she, who a, few short weeks ago
was so young and full of life, cheerful
and looking forward with joy and
hope for the future. should be cut
down in the spring time of life. Still
leaves have time to fall, and flow
ers a time to wither at the north
winds blast. but thou claimest all
seasons for thine own. 0 Death!
Still we must bow in humble sub
mission to the will of Him who doetlr
all things well, and accept it as all
for the best.
10, the portals now art open,
She has joined the mystic band,
Gone to join the host of angels
In that bright mysterious land
Fifteen years this earth has claimed
her,
All, so short time, so sweet;
Now Deaths angel, he has claimed
her Il
And our band is incomplete, -,
We laid her down in sadness,
Laid her in the cold, cold earth,
But her spirit now is resting
| Where sorrow neer has birth,
Farewell, Blanche we will leave you
For we know you're happy now;
But our thoughts will often wander
Where thy form is resting now;
And when spring again returneth,
And the flowers again shall bloom.
We will plant her grave with roses
I All around her earthly tomb.
Then, . mourn not for your darling
She has left this world of pain;
Though it is your loss and sorrow.

"a MERICA is engaged in a
- war that was forced upon
US. 1t is the noblest war
ia which any nation ever COM
nlitted its strength. The war
calls for loyalty and devotion
at home as we'll as in the field.
In the liberty loan drives the
rule now followed is to expect
from each man a subscription
in accord with his ability to
purchase. 1t is the only fair
way, it is the only efficient
way. The ratings in this coun-
ty have been made with care
bY men in position TO know
their subject. There is ample
provision for revising a mans
rating if it is found he has been
unjustly rated. There is no ex-
cuse for a man of wealth to
fail in his duty.
1t is not the duty of those in
charge to beg any man for a
liberty loan subscription. To
present the facts 10 a man in
businesslike way should be
sufficient. II is then up TO the
man 10 take his choice.
