IN MEMORY OF
DEAR RILLA

Dear Rilla's gone
From earth below
Yes from this world
Of sin and woe.
She's now at rest
In heaven above
Where all is peace
And joy and love
How sad and lonely is my life
Since | gave up my darling wife
Where e'er | go, where e'er
stay
| think of her both night and
day.
| go about her childhood home
And oh, the thoughts while
here | roam.
But while ] sorrow from my
loss.
I'll do my best to bear my cross
Our days were few
Together here,
We had been we'd
About three year.
Our lives were sweet
Our minds were free
From earthly cares
And such misery
Yes hand in hand
And side by side
We marched along
With love as guide.
But now she's gone,
To that bright land
When | am called,
I'll clasp her hand.

EXTRACT FROM INTERESTING
LETTER RECEIVED FROM
IT. A. r. cox. u. s. a

The following extract is taken from
letter received from First Lieuten-
ant A. r. Cox, OF the Seventh Infantry.
u. s. A, in service abroad, written
just before he sailed for the United
States. Lieut.. Cox is the brother of
Mrs. Hamilton Russell, of this city.
He arrived in the United States sew
eraI weeks ago and is now with his
family at their home in Abner, North
Carolina. He was one of three BROTH
ers. G. C. Cox, of Tampa, who return
ed home the first OF this month, and
J. B. Cox, OF Mountain City, Ga, vino
is also home after service overseas
The three brothers served in the army
and while in some OF the hardest
fighting which took place at the front
escaped any serious injury. They are
the sons OF Mrs. .. j. Cox and broth
ers of Miss Flora Cox, who lived in
Pensacola before going to Abner to
make her home.
Lieutenant Cox beautifully ex-
presses the sentiment felt by those
returning for their fallen comrades il
the course of the following remarks.
He says: Il will sail for the United
States and home soon. in fact, am now
waiting for sailing orders, and while
am glad / came over and took part
in the past war, l am very glad to be
going back, also very thankful that
am spared to live through the heiIs
without even being seriously injured.
Il am anxious to &c. back to civil
life and start again the battle witll
the world and forget. if possible, the
hideousness of the past war.
II know that eyes will brighten and
hearts beat faster when we arrive and
the home coming brings thrills of
pleasure to many, but when l realize
how gray and gloomy it must be in
the homes where they have paid the
supreme sacrifice and there will re no
home coming, my heart offers a pray
er of thankfulness. There are a great
number of crosses on the front that
we had to make for these sad homes
and it is with most sincere reverence
that l feel for them. We miss them
and love them and even now hate to
leave without being able to show our
appreciation of their comradeship and
the peace they paid for so dearly.
IF, in after years. you hear anyone
speak lightly of the war and it's hor-
rors. just be sure he never went to
the front or either he is a fool with
out honor or principle

understanding Of them as possible
and a uniform Interpretation of them

Similar district meetings have been
held ut Concordia and Salina.

SERVICE FLAGS TO COME
DOWN ON FEBRUARY AZ

Don't take down your service
flags because your boys are home"
Is the plea of the War Camp Com
munity Service, and don't let them
stay up until they are weather beat
EN- and beraggled." This organiza-
ton asks that all flags be kept until
a fixed date, when they can be low
cred with fitting ceremonies.
The w. C. C. s. has suggested that
the 3-day period in which Washing
toms birthday will be celebrated be
designated as the proper time for the
decentralization of the service flag,
with ceremonies honoring both &C.
casions combined AS February %
falls on Saturday, the schools will
have their exercises the day before,
and the w. G. G. s. has started n
movement to have service flag pro
grams arranged for that day. This
date is suggested for the ceremonies
attending rehabilitation Of the
flags elsewhere than at home.
The many homes with the service
flag in evidence would lower their
flags-if their boys are home at that
time-Saturday, February %, and
the churches have their ceremonies

TEACHERS DISCUSS PLANS
LAID BEFORE STATE MEETING

All the. teachers OF the city met
this afternoon at the high school The
plans for school legislation which
were laid before the members of the
State Teachers Association which
met at Topeka were explained by Mr..
Potter. principal of Garfield school.
He spoke principally Of the project
providing pensions for retired teach
ers. Under this plan teachers would
be compelled to contribute 70 the
pension fund after the passage of the
law and at the time of their retire
ment would receive $500 year.
Teachers working previous to the
passage of the law might voluntarily
contribute to the fund but must
make up the amount they would have
paid had 1t been in existence at the
beginning of their work as teachers.
The plan met with disfavor among
the teachers who met at Topeka and
1t is probable 1t will be quite as I'M
popular among the teachers in this
county.
This plan was one introduced by
Prof Kent, of Lawrence. Two other
major items In his program were the
provision for a uniform building code
to be compiled by commission on
school building, which would insure
correct buildings for rural schools as
well as for city institutions. This
was approved generally. The other
provision for county board of edu-
cation except for schools in cities of
the first and second class with the
power to levy a school tax and hire
rural school supervisors was most I'M
popular Miss Woolverton, county
superintendent said that under the
latter plan Dickinson county would
have four supervisors who would re-
ceive not less than $1,000 a year, be
sides the county superintendent.
The plans will be put before the
county teachers at their meeting
