Laura Elizabeth Kew.

Laura Elizabeth Key was born at
Bagley July 14th, 1918, and passed
away April 3rd, 1919 lacking II days
OF being 8 months old, after an ill
ness of about three weeks duration.
The direct cause of her death was
bronchial pneumonia She is surviv-
ed by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Abe
Key, four brothers, Virgil, Kenneth,
Russell and Keith, also two sisters,
Ivanelle and Lucille. She had never
been robust child and for that reas-
on was the object of much tender
care and solicitude upon the part of
her parents and other relatives. Ev-
erything which love and care could
do was done and all that money could
procure was freely given her for she
was idolized by her entire family.
But in the great plan of life it was
ordered that the tender blossom
should not have to bear the storms
OF this world and she went quietly to
sleep, closing her eyes on all tho sor-
rows and cares and miseries which
fall to the lot of those who live to
maturity. What a beautiful awaken

endured here previous to her death.

Dear heart.
God has given to you the

We must live on with our burdens
and our fears,
Face the long way with its cares

Teach US, dear God, so to do
That we may go home to her and
You.
And in that land of fairest flowers
May we but see that one of ours,
Then we shall know why and under

Henry Allen Reed.

Henry Allen Reed, the second son
OF Edward and Mary Madison Reed,
was born in the town of Ellenboro
August II, 1867, and passed away to
the Great Beyond at the Buck hospi-
tai, March %, 1919.
His boyhOod was spent on the farm
with his father where he remained
until August %, 1892 when he was
married to Miss Katherine Domer of
EllcnbOro, who survives him. That
fall he built house on the farm
where the family still resides. Nine
children have come to bless their
home, seven of whom survive They
are Lillian, Clarence, Bessie, Orville,
Gertrude, Guerdon and Sadie. Ora
and Clemmie were called to their
heavenly home some years ago. Be-
sides his immediate family he is sur
vived by two sisters, Mrs. Eliza Nc
Knight and Mrs. Rose Weinbrenner
both of Platteville, and two brothers,
Will Reed of Westfield, Ia, and Jas.
Reed of Sitter.
Mr.. Reed had been in fafling health
for some years and has repeatedly
taken treatment at the Waukesha
sanitarium hoping to find relief from
Che insidf0us disease that had fasten-
ed itself upon him but airy benefit
that he may have received was only
temporary at best. The Immediate
cause Of his death, however, was
from the effects of an accident with
his car on March 26th when he was
seriously injured. He was taken to-
the hospital at his own request and
everything done to relieve his suf-
fering but all in vain and on Friday
morning he passed away. He was a
mar of sterling character, Industrious
and honest, a good husband, father
and neighbor- His whole thought was
of his family and their comfort, this
trait leading him to build new mod
ern' home about two years ago, we'll
knowing he would not long be spared
to eriov it but desiring that his fam
lily might be we'll provided for. His
home and home neighborhood were
the center of all his interest and eff
fort and in his passing the scommun-
ity has lost good citizen The SYM
pathy of a large circle of friends is
extended to the bereaved family in
this hour Of trial
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon conducted by Rev Fred Harris
of the NJ. E. church, Plattev1IIe. After
brief services at the home the remains
we're taken to Union church where
the services we're concluded. Inter
ment was made IN the Union ceme-
terry beside his children.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stil1ed,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And though the body sTumbers here
The soul is safe in heaven.

We sincerely thank our kind friends
and neighbors who so generously as
sisted us in our recent bereavement,
those who sang and all who sent
flowers.

ROETHE FATHERS ANTI
DAYLIGHT RESOLUTION.

A couple of weeks ago a farmers

to express her opinion in the paper
She did so and stated that she be-
lieved Henry Roethe would do some
thing if he could Great Oaks From
Little Acorns Grow" therefore read
the following Madison dispatch:
The senate adopted the Roethe res
olution memorialiing congress to re-
peal the daylight saving law" SEN
ator Roethe in a picturesque fashion
presented arguments for his resolu-
ton and urged its Importance to the
farmers of the country.
George Washington, the father OF
his country, never told lie, but by
act of congress every clock is liar, .
Senator Roethe said "The whole
scheme is a deception. While the war
was on, no one complained, but when
congress ended in the mixup, the law
was left when there was no need OF

history when nature has been inter-

Senator Roethe described how the
farmers spurred on by the advanced
clocks are forced into the fields and
how their wives are overworked He
read editorials and letters received
by farm papers. The senate adopt
ed an amendment by Bird to include
mill workers and women in their
households, among those who expe-
rienced hardship through daylight
saving. The amendment was adopted
and the resolution approved, &c to /,

Senator Henry Roethe has intro
duced the following joint resolution
in the Wisconsin senate:
JOINT RESOLUTION No. SIS.
MemorialiZing congress in behalf
of the farmers to repeal the law ad-
vancing the time one hour.
WHEREAS, The conditions imposed
by turning the clocks one hour ahead
are source of great inconvenience
and annoyance to, and in many cases
work a hardship on the farmers, their
wives and children, and widespread
dissatisfaction prevails among them
because of the law, which they sup
posed was only a wartime measure,
is still in force, be it
RESOLVED by the senate, the as
sembly concurring, that congress be
memorialized to repeal the law
which the time of day was advanced
one hour, SO that the farmers may
continue their avocation, so neces-
sary and vital to the nation, unhamp-
cred by such unnatural interference
and secure from their Iabors the
largest possible returns not only for
themselves but also for the country
and world at large.

shadow-land Party at EaeIeton.

On Friday evening December 12, the Eagleton Public school entertained the public with a shadow-land party. The object of the party was to raise funds to provide for community Christmas tree at Eagleton.
 Despite the indictment weather a large crowd was present, and all en- joyed the evening to the limit. At the close of the entertainment it was found that plenty of money had been raised to provide the Christmas tree.
 The Christmas tree will be at the Eagleton school house, and while it is intended especially for the pupils of the school, Santa Claus is apt to put presents on for anyone, so to be sure that you get yours, it will pay you to be present.
 A program is being prepared for the occasion by the pupils of the school and the teacher, Miss Irma Thacker. 1t will be a good program suitable to the occasion, and will be brimful of Christmas cheer.
 Our school, under the able manage ment of Miss Irma Thacker of Mena began September l5. While a great part of the time the weather has been very bad since the school began, 1t has been a very successful term. Pu- pills and patrons are all we'll pleased with Miss Thacker as teacher.
 School will close on December 23 for the holidays

CLEANING UP THE EVILS.

When a man, or woman, Tor that matter. arrives at mental status where the laws and customs of coun- try with Democratic form of govern ment are distasteful to them and they insist on advocating violence, disi- bedience, and revolution, it is time they were deported or otherwise re- movd from opportunity to do harm. And this does not mean, either, that things are always as they should be, nor that reforms are not needed, for there always is such work to be done, and will be, until the human family reaches state of perfection not yet in sight. Our greatest weakness of our government is our failure to intel ligently use our best implement, the ballot, and then when this failure of our own brings dissatisfaction, good many of us get all steamed up" and few can see nothing but the short cut of revolution. This situation ap- plies fully as much to town and coun- ty-right at home--as to national af- fairs. In fact, the place to start to clean up is in our own dooryard.

A STUDY IN MULTIPLCATI0N

Outrageous" is the word most of use in referring to the price of sugar. Perhaps if we would do a little figur- ing we would not feel quite so badly. The normal price might fairly be placed at cents a pound On this basis the price, at the highest has been multiplied by 3, and we can think of lot of things that have gone as far up the scale, and some farther as for instance, eggs, butter, corn, pork and cotton. After all it is not so much the price that hurts, where all prices are high, as it is the fact that we too often feel that someone is profiteering at our expense.

Bradford Knapp Comes to Arkansas --Is One of Greatest Men in His
 Field of Endeavor.

Fayetteville, Dec. 16.-It was an- nounced at the University of Arkan- sas Monday, December IS, that Brad ford Knapp, of Washington, chief of the U. s.

Knapp will be the chief administrative officer in charge of all agricultural work of the University, including the resident teaching, the experiment sta tion. and the extension and farm der- onstration work. He will assume his position January 1, 1920. Martin Nell son will remain as head of the depart ment of agronony, and will be vice dean and vice-director. w. c. Lasse- ter will remain in direct charge of the extension work.
 Mir. Knapp has had charge of the extension work in the South for the { last nine years, succeeding his father, who founded farm demonstration work in the South. During this time MT Knapp has had large part in the shaping of agricultural legislation, ;n- cluding the Smith-Lever Extension l Bill.
 "It would hardly be an exaggera- tion to speak of MT. Knapp as the out standing figure in southern agricul- ture today" said President John c. Futrall, commenting on Mir. knapp's appointment. His early training, his experience of 10 years as head of ehe Government Agricultural Extension Service in the South, his remarkable executive ability, his keen insight into
 the great problems of rural life which
 lie deeper than the question of in. creased agricultural production, unite to make him peculiarly fitted to direct
 the activities of the College of Agri-
