was his home until the time OF his
death. He was united in marriage
to Nancy A. Mitchell on March 2,
1882. To this union We're born six
chilren, Franklin A., who. died in
infancy; w. Fred, who resides near
Leon: James L., Horace R.. and

home. All the children were at his
bedside at the time of his death, ex-

his wife and children, he leaves one
brother, James F., of near Leon, one
sister, Mrs. R. l. Mitchell, of Grin
nell, Iowa, and many other friends
and neighbors to mourn his loss.
The deceased united with the
Methodist Episcopal church when a
young man about 81 years of age.
During his early Christian life he
professed great faith in saving
grace, but during recent years he
has been unable to take an active
part in church activities, owing to
physical debilities. He was a good
citizen and had the love and respect
of all who knew him. He was a
man of great conviction, was scrup-
ulously honest. and intensely pat
riotic. When his three sons answ-
cred the call of the country he was
never seen to shed a tear. AlthOue II

Auto Accidents.

Saturday evening the Dodge car
just north of the Joe Hoffman resi-
dence, badly injuring Mrs. Lasley
and her mother, Mrs. l. P. Bagger-
we're bruises. 1t seems that they
were coming south and tried to pass
the G. E. Mills car and got off to
the side Of the road in the soft dirt
and in trying to, get back into the
road Mr.. Lasley evidently gave the
car quick pull with the result that
it went over pinning all the occu-
pants underneath. Frank was bad
ly skinned up, Mrs. Lasley was cut
about the head and face and Mrs.
Baggerly was badly bruised up and
it was feared for few days that
she was injured, internally. The car
thing that saved the occupants from
death was the fact that the top was
up.
Sunday afternoon the e. A. DEMO
car and the Will Gerringer car met
in head-on collision on the Liberty
Home hill with the result that the
DEMO car was put completely out OF
business. Mr.. DEMO was going up
the hill and said he noticed the car
coming down the hill was webbing
all over the road and as he was new
at driving he pulled out to one side.
The Gerringer car was being driven
by novice and it is supposed that
she lost her head on the hill and
seeing the DEMO car at he foot of
the hill she lust naturally" had to
cun into it. The occupants of Meth

How They Notify Relatives OF War

A copy of the roster Of each con-

him to be notified in emergency.

sake of speed the statistical division
is supplied with sets of form letters

Their details are available.
While relatives are generally in
receipt of information within "a
hours after the cables are received,
delays are sometimes due to clerical
errors caused by the fact that names
must pass through so many hands in
France and in America, incorrect
emergency addresses turned in bv
soldiers, removal of families to adj
dresses other than those listed. and
the occasional necessity for cabling
back to Gen. Pershing to verify a
name or to obtain an address.
Aside from these four causes of
delay the only reason for the failure
of relatives to receive word at once
is military consideration. Gen.
Pershing may, at his discretion,
withhold casualty list until he is
positive it will have no military val

Next week we will devote our
notes to a threshing proposition as
the government will be very strict
with both the farmers and threshing
machine men in the saving of grain.
| hope every one interested will take
note of them.
1t has been suggested by the food
administration, also by a number OF
farmers and their wives that all help
around the threshing machine eX-
cept those who belong with the
thresher go home for their suppers.
Farmers wives never know how
many will remain for the evening
meal and thus lot of food is vast
ed. This rule would save food and
a lot of hard work for the women.
/ would suggest that the farmers
lake this matter up themselves be-
fore threshing commences and .es-
tablish this custom if they so desire.
Where farmers have wheat. or oats
on very low bottom ground which
is subject to overflow and no chance
to stack their grain threshers may
pull by and thresh this grain first,
but after threshing this, must pull
back on their regular run.

The Fourth Liberty Loan.

Secretary McAdoo has announced
a series of short-term treasury notes
at u per cent to be issued to the
amount of $75O,0OO,OOO every two
weeks. AS the notes are to mature
in varying periods, not exceeding
four months, we may expect a fourth
liberty loan in October or Novem-
Der, of about $4,000, 100000, which
would be the largest of the war
series.
Successive bond issues are newt
ably necessary while the war contin-
ues. However much money may be
raised by taxation under the revis-
ion of the war revenue law, the bulk
of the fighting funds must be raised
by loans. The immense success of
the first three issues and the stead
lily rising spirit of the people leave
no doubt whatever Of the full sub
scription of whatever bonds the gov
eminent may offer in the autumn.
The issue OF certificates meanwhile
will yield revenues to meet the treas
ury's enormous requirements. Our
war finances are on the sOundest
basis of all the belligerent powers.
Some of the Eastern newspapers
are guessing at, the interest of the
going from 81 to Az per cent,
gives rise to the notion that he new
loan will be at not less than 4 u,
though this does not necessarily fol-
low from the fact that the certifi-
Gates, to be issued first on the 25th
of June, will bear that rate.
Anyway, we may as we'll get ready
to oversubscribe the issue, no matter
what the rate of interest.

Recovering the Seas Loot.

betting he will make the Teuton fly;
tell him all is hunkydory, and the

things he'll achieve, let him know
he's not forgotten since he took his
final leave Write a letter to a sol

poor chap is tired of waiting for the
letter YOU don't write. 1t will take
you fifteen minutes such letter to

Make it bright and brave and breezy,
