OBITUARY

Harriet Shackelford Newly was
born in Miami county, Indiana, Sep
TENDER l, 1850, and died in Bucklin,
Kansas, March 81, 1919, aged SO
years, months and 20 days.
In November, 1874, at Peru, Indi-
ana, she was married to E. M.
Newly, to which union were born
seven children, five of whom, with
the husband, survive her-John Tan
ner, Ora L., Roy G., France w., and
Jacob. Two of the children, son,
Clyde and a daughter, Sylvia proceed
ed her to the spirit world.
When sixteen years of age she
united with the Methodist church,
her father being the local pastor in
this denomination at the time, while
two of her brothers were long time,
faithful and successful members of
the Methodist Kansas conference.
They were pioneer builders of the
Kingdom of God here. Likewise,
Mrs. Newly and her husband had
the pioneer spirit and in 1878 came
to what was to prove to be the great
and progressive state of Kansas, and
now see some of the fruits of their
faithful work-children who most
dearly love and stand by their par
ents. The Newly home life is one
of the very noticeable factors of our
community life.
Mrs. Newby's Christian faith was
one of the everyday sort. She car
ed little or nothing for the filigree
and tinsel of loud profession. She
worked her faith out largely in the
love and care of her home-some-
thing we moderns cannot afford to
overlook in the midst of business
pressure and high tension living.
And concerning the future into which
she knew she must soon go, her word
to her pastor, Ralph W. Wyrick, sew
eral times was, 81 am ready to meet
my Lord" -Bucklin Banner.

containing these articles for return

Mrs. Elmer Johnson, while scuffi-

UNCLE SANS THE GOAT

Herbert Hoover said the other day
that "Thc delay in lifting the block
ade caused spectators to corner food
5tuffs and hold them, expecting that
tremendous demands would arise from
Central Europe when the embargo
was lifted. In the meantime, the
countries on that part of the CONT
nent bought to the fullest extent
through the Economic Council of the
allies. This exhausted their gold re-
serve, rendering further purchases i'm
possible when the blockade finally was
lifted Thus did Mr.. Hoover let the
cat out of the bag. After the Armis-
tice was signed Uncle Sam wanted the
blockade lifted at once, but his al
lies dissented and held out that in or
der to enforce the terms of peace the
blockade had to be maintained, which
has since developed into source of
graft. This is one Of the reasons why
we who fought, bled and paid are all
enjoying the high cost Of living.

INDUSTRIOUS CITY MARSHAL

The Bismarck Gazette last week
published the following comment from
the Bonnie Terre News-Register as
proof of the fact that the latter
named place really has a City Mar
shall who, at least occasionally, at
tempts to uphold the majesty of the
law" often even when the law is not
so much as wavering. The follow
ing story tells of how that limb of
the law" came very near to turning an
innocent serenading party into a la
mentable tragedy:
An auto truck from Bismarck with
a gay bunch of lads and lasses were
touring Bonnie Terre Tuesday even
ing and having a big time at their
merrymaking in singing and laughing
as young folks do when happy, and
Were in no way riotous or disturbing
the peace of our own quiet village. The
night marshal however concluded the
law was being endangered and might
be broken, as singing on the streets in
Bonne Terre is tabooed by the mighty
powers of our wonderful ordinance
system which Swallows camel and
gags at gnat" so he Communicated a
car and overlook the party at the
Geo. Nees home and made regular
sky plane leap from his car to the
running board of the truck, and flash
ed his tind-em-i -the-dark lamp in the
face of the driver, who was merely a
boy. This act Frightened the lad, as
might have been expected, and he took
an emergency turn of his steering
wheel and the truck shot to the left,
and into the fence at the c. L. Bourne
residence, breaking down the fence,
but the driver got the truck SO turned
that he kept it from going into the
yard and made a circle around the
telephone pole at the edge of The side
walk, and back into the street.

MISS RUTH HUFF is TRANS
FERRED TO BIRMINGHAM

Miss Ruth Hereford Huff, who has
been serving as executive head of the
Young Woman's Christian Associa-
ton work in Admission for about a
year, has been transferred to the
Birmingham headquarters, and will
take up the duties of her advanced
position this week.
Miss Huff has made a splendid rec
ord during her stay in Admission, and
has accomplished really wonderful
work in this city. She has developed
the work among the younger girls and
women of the city to the extent that
her ability as an organizer has been
recognized by transfer to a larger
field.
While Miss Huff's friends are glad
that she has been promoted to a more
responsible field she will be given up
with genuine regret.-Birmingham,

PLANTING FOR
BETTER ALFALFt

Many Missouri farmers have planted
alfalfa for the first time this fall. In
most instances they have sweetened
the soil by adding ground limestone
and have inoculated the soil or seed
before planting. Some who have
grown alfalfa without observing
these points in seeding are planting
new fields and are sweetening and in
oculating them. Demonstrations by
the Extension Service of the Uni
versity Of Missouri College Of Agri-
culture have been convincing. That
the extra work and materials required
have been paid for in the better stand
and larger yield, is evident.
The best alfalfa seed for Missouri
seems to be that grown in Kansas and
Nebraska. This is one crop that does
not require starting from home grown
seed. The planting season for alfalfa
is now well advanced, and to make
paintings this late in the fall is not
advisable. Spring affords another OPP
portunity for getting start with this
valuable legume.
Harry Darr of Harrington county
sowed tract Of alfalfa with oats as
a nurse crop this spring. At the time
his oats was cut the alfalfa showed up
well-much of it being tall enough to
be clipped by the binder.

ranging for a Red Cross Nursing

ing an examination the student will

in any way to serve the Red Cross.
This is only to qualify women for a
nursing knowledge in their own homes.
