In MemOriam.

Scorcely so sweet a falling to
sleep" has ever been known in
our community than that OF
Miss Vira Richardson whose
sweet spirit winged it's way to
an eternal rest in the still quiet
hours of the last Sabbath night.
The eldest of seven daughters
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. q. Richard
son, Vira was from her baby
days sweet spirited and self
sacrificing. In hhe early girl
hyod she gave her life to Christ
and grew daily in strength OF
Christian character which made
her g leader in all the activities
of her church and enlarged her
influence till it was left in almost
every home in the town. not
withstanding she was most mod,
est and unassuming.
In her gentle manner as she
assisted her father in the dis
tribution of the mail, she wor
her way into the hearts of the
people till she became a great
favorite of the public and hel
early death is a loss to the toWr
hardly less than to her family
and closest friends.
Death in this case was like
heavy footfall,on beautiful rose
bud where life was crushed ou
when it's beauty and fragrance
were most promising.
Her memory is sweet to all.

the VICTORY LOAN

WE'LL Finish THE JOB
Fathers And Mothers OF Boys Who
Risked All Will See That The
Bills Are Paid

The Victory Loan, fifth and last or
the national Liberty Loans, will be
put over in the campaign beginning
April 81 and continuing three weeks,
as enthusiastically and completely as
were the preceding loans. That is GER
tain as indicated by the responses
from the loyal workers who are ready
to give their services to their country
until the job is finished and the bills
all paid.
Whatever spirit Of "let down" that
NAV have followed the signing Of the
armistice is rapidly disappearing, and
the whole country is awakening to the
realization that the war is not over and
| will not be over until the last Of the
American soldiers is safe at home
again and every dollar of the gigantic
war bill paid The fathers and moth
ers of the boys who went overseas or
| to camp, who risked their lives for
their country-and many of them gave
life or limb-will not quit until the
job is finished. any more than the sol.
diers quit over there.
The Victory Loan campaign will
soon be on. The government has de-
cided upon five billion dollar issue OF
short term securities, to be repaid
within five years, and bearing attrac-
tive interest rates. Secretary Glass
believes this form of security will com
mand a better market price after the
campaign than would bonds issued FOL
