day this week when a large bull be

NEW LIGHT ON
OLD PRACTICES

1t is often deemed only fitting to
close the business houses during the
hour that loves last tenderness is
being shown to the mortal remains
of one who has lived worthily
among us and has died. Last Sunday
when all business is normally clos
ed by the Christian sentiment of
America, just when the solacing
promises were being read and sung
at the Blakesley home funeral, there
came changing in the screams from
the Sunday baseball field three
blocks away. 1t needs the light of
such an event TO show some funda-
mentals. When we set out to Ger
mamie our Lords Day reverence
finds no place in the scheme of
things. Some excellent people have
a new scale for valuation in the
light of last Sunday.

MARION GARDINER
BLAKESLEY

Wife of E. w Blakesley, died at
the home on first Avenue south in
the early hours of Saturday, June
14th, and was buried Sunday after
noon. 1t profits little to use super
llatiye sentences in an obituary no.
tice. People who have known the de-
ceased have no need of them, and
those who have not known her will
pay scant attention to them. And
yet there is nothing but words by
which to express feeling and appre-
citation. And there is little danger
going beyond the truth in any thing
we may say to the praise OF Mrs.
BIakesley. The things that are pure,
lust, kind. lovely and of good re
port, those things she thot upon
and sought to put them into deeds.
She not only
Hoped that God was love indeed
And love Creations final law.
She believed it in the same sense
that traveller believes in the
buoyancy of water to carry the
great ship. Her interests ranged
wide but they looked for no wealth
or value except that of people be-
ing re-made into the likeness of
Christ Jesus. This one thing she did
sought to make the kingdom of
God reality in this present world.
Never in her life was she found
ranged with the forces of evil, but
always with the forces of righteous
ness. 1t is as true of her as it was
of Abraham, "God could reveal His
utmost purpose to her, seeing she
ordered her household Alright" Her
husband and four children who re-
main among us sorely bereaved are
sustained by the perfect assurance
that whatever there is of future re-
ward for the faithful of earth, is
already become her possession.
From our mortal point of view
there is an extra tinge of sadness
tnaC Ine Qedtu anger Sdlho ioA hSh
this month instead of next. Twenty
seven days more and she with her
husband would have reached the
fiftieth anniversary of their we'd
ding day But Gods plans are not
by our calenders, and she passed on
little too early for the celebration
that was to have been. Loving
memory will take the place OF per-
sonal presence when the day ar
rives.
The funeral services, at the house
were brief and simple as she had re-
quested. The roses of Junetime new
er lent themselves more lavishly to
express love than when they garland
ed her casket and her burial mound.
The family are grateful indeed that
it was so beautifully done.

poison. Plan their execution now.
WEEVIL SPRAY. The poison
spray application given certain wee

successful. Only a few fields were
treated as the method was on trail.
We do not believe spraying will pay
during the growth of the second cut

Imerous that growth will not start
without poison protection.
HAY HELP. Increasing the wage
above $3.50 does not increase the
number of available men. Fluctu-

$3.50, treat your men white, and ex-
pect good service in return. Better

bulls will be purchased just as soon
as the money is paid in by share
signers. Registered dairy bulls will
attract many dairymen to locate
here.
