Suppose that somewhere down town in New
York, or in Chicago or St. Louis, there were a
huge auction room, where the lives of men and
of little children were on sale.
Suppose that every day the auctioner's red
flag hung out as sign that on that day so many
men were to be allowed to die; so many women;
and so many little ones.

OBITUARY

Joseph Earl Fixler was born in
Montville township, Medina county,
Ohio, December 16, 1895, the son Of
Alexander and Vincie Fixler. His
father died when he was year old,
and the mother and three children
came to the farm home Of Mrs. Fix
ler's mother, Mrs. Mary Kulp in West
field township, in which township he
was reared. Joe graduated from the
Leroy high school in 1918. For two
years, beginning 1915, he studied in
Wooster college. He united with the
Presbyterian church of Seville, upon
profession of faith, Aug. rs, 1907. He
was a faithful and devoted member
of the church and Sunday school and
for a time was a member of the
church orchestra.
He taught school in Guilford town.
ship and last winter was principal OF
a township school in Portage county
where he built up for himself most
enviable reputation as a teacher. The
correspondent of a Ravenna paper
speaking Of Prof. Fixler's leaving fol

prayers and best wishes of all. His

been neglected during the war. What
is worn at Palm Beach is always a
forecast of what will be worn in New
York for the late spring and early
summer. All the pretty light things
that are now shown for southern wear
will be the very same in design and
line that those who remain at home
will don as soon as the temperature
permits. Wise, indeed, is she who
takes advantage of the sales at the
shops of this fimsy material now, for
she has wider selection and the
quantity being more abundant will
make the material cheaper in price.
It is safe to say that any design
which is copied from the models now
will be very smart next summer.
Therefore, to stock up now would be
far more discreet than rushing, as the
majority will be, in the hot summer
days. Many novel styles, Of course,
that could not be worn about town are
shown, but the discretion of the aver
age woman may be relied upon suf-
ficiently to warrant her correct choice.
Extreme But Charming
One of the shops is showing a
dainty little hat developed in raspber-
ry-dotted dimity with a parasol to
match. The crown of the hat is very
slightly shirred and a coy little rose
of raspberry -colored satin rests con-
fdently on the brim over the right
eye. The handle Of the parasol is
ivory and the mate of the satin rose
on the hat is vainly pursuing it's COM
panion, for it is stopped abruptly
about two-thirds of the way up the
handle by hand-painted ring of
ivory. This attractive set can we'll be

these frocks are embroidered elabor'
ately with beads Of contrasting, col

unsophisticated appearance of the
soft mass of material is fascinating.
The Successor of Khaki-Kool
A new novelty weave is on the mar
ket which resembles very strongly the
khaki-kool of last season. The ma.
terial is silky in it's composition, but
has a surface which is made rough by
the irregular lines of silk Of various
thickness running through it. This Is
used for the new suit dress. This ul-
ira smart mode is extensively in view

of refined taste will admire it for 1t Is

Joseph Fixler was young man Of
the highest character. He was the
comfort of home. He loved and hon.
ored his widowed mother and wrote
many letters from the front which
brought cheer and hope to the hearts
of his loved ones. He was kindly in
spirit, obliging in disposition, manly
in purpose, popular among those who
knew him, and uncomplaining in mem
tai habit.
A memorial service for Jos. Fixler
was held in the Presbyterian church,
Seville, on Sunday, January IL.
