To The Friends
Of Our Beloved Mother

1t is a source of great consolation
that after over forty years of abb
sence, our mother should be so we'll
and lovingly remembered by SO
many of her girlhood friends. No
words that we write are expressive
of the gratitude that we, her chill
dren, are anxious to express.
Our mother, like all mothers, was
the best friend ever given to man
as his birthright. She was virtu-
Gus, loyal and high minded; she
had passion for the welfare Of her
children; she loved the truth and
her fortitude in meeting the strenu-
Gus trials of life was her most strik-
ing characteristic.
She died in a hospital ambulance
seven miles out of Hot Springs, So.
Dakota, whence we were moving
her that she might have more ex-
pert assistance in fighting an attack
of heart trouble that had confined
her to a bed for twenty-one days.
Her end was a fitting one to so try
| ing a career as her life had been.
She was indeed soldier and she
conquered every adversary in life
save death, which claimed her. All
of her children were around her be-
fore death came. She knew it was
coming and had the great pleasure
of hearing their love and devotion
showered upon her. These children
stand as living monuments to her
character, and as sbeaking Witness
es to her ability and mother-love.
We commend her grave to the care
of those who loved her; we COM
mend her spirit to the God who
gave it, May her precious soul rest
as peacefully with the Creator as
does her body amid the haunts of
her childhood.

INJURED IN ACCIDENT

An automobile accident occurred
Just north Of Extra, last Sunday af-
ternoon, when the car driven by
Peter johnson went into ditch.
The roads were very slippery, on
account of the rain, and it is thot
that this was the main cause of the
accident. Mr.. johnson received a
broken shoulder, his wife had her
shoulder dislocated and the sister
in law, Mrs. Nels johnson of Elk
Horn has two broken ribs and
numerous bruises. The injured
were taken to the Nels johnson
home in this city and Tuesday Mr..
and Mrs. Pete johnson were taken
to their home west of Extra.
Their many friends wish that all
may recover rapidly.

Elected Captain

Just before the Simpson eleven
went on the field, Friday, Oct. 3rd,
Wylie Hartzell was elected captain
of the football team for the season
1919. Hartzell has been known in
all athletics since coming to Simp-
son college. He is a veteran Of two
years in Varsity football and by his
hard playing has won the respect
and confidence of all his fellow suf-
ferers in football.
Hartzell was captain-elect last
year and during the S. A. T. C. act
ed as coach. captain and manager
Of the football team of this unit.
Despite the handicaps placed upon
him in this position he displayed
marked ability in the capacity in
which he served. The teams con-
fdence in him and the high esteem
which they hold for him is certainly
shown no better than in electing
him captain for this season and
backing him up in playing -Simp-
sonian.

OUR WEATHER EYE
The Stand That Wins

The Farm Bureau Federations Of
the various states, while still in
their infancy and apparently mere
ly at the beginning Of a period of
vast growth, have already gone on
record in a highly significant man
ner as to what farmers will and will
not do in the coming industrial re-
adjustment.
Organized labor has already de-
cided that prices Of food stuffs gen.
orally must be reduced but that
wages must be kept at their pres
ent high levels. This means that
the labor Of the city man is to con-
tinue to bring a high return in the
future while that of the farmer is to
bring lower and lower return.
The Farm Bureau Federations
have vetoed this proposal so en-
phatically that even the labor or
carnations seem to have under
stood. The declarations have said
that the farmers are willing to ac-
cept lower prices for the products
of their labor PROVIDED every
one else does the same thing, but
NOT otherwise. They are willing
to travel this road just as far as
any one else; but they will NOT
travel it ALONE.
This is the kind Of talk that the
labor unions have long been need
ing to hear. If it is by farmers
soldly, as it apparently will be, it
will prove powerfully persuasive to
union leaders and to Legislators
alike.
One of the best things about it is
that it makes no threats, seeks to
take no advantage of any one else,
and expresses genuine willingness
of the farmers to make their inter.
ests subordinate to the common
good. In all these points they
have set new pattern. They are
showing a fairer spirit, higher ideals
and a deeper loyalty to the flag
that their sons have died for than
we have been seeing lately in the
activities Of other organized classes
By these signs they will conquer
nor will their victory work injury
to any other class whatever.

FORD NEVER FAITERS

Will sGahagan, the famous sport
writer, who is also a walking en-
cyclopedia' Of information on titled
horses and their doings for the last.
couple Of centuries, recently rode
from Randall to Cleveland in ----
but here's his story as it appeared
in ''The Horseman" for August:
'In company with Ken Scott,
turf writer on the Plain Dealer
and a couple of other scribes, l
made the trip to the city in Scot
tvs machine. Said machine is
manufactured in Detroit by gem
tleman by the name of Ford. Now,
they make all sorts of fun Of that
Ford machine but after that, trip
from Randall to Cleveland, the
other day, I'm convinced that the
Ford cars are not only fast but that
they have staying qualities as we'll.
They should have been used in get
ting the soldiers across the ocean,"
In the low spots where the wat
er has stopped many of the high
priced boats the little Ford didn't
even hesitate. One of the most
amusing sights of the trip, | believe
it was the only one was watching
a gentleman astride the hood Of a
big machine which was standing in
about two feet of water. He was
attempting to crank the machine
and yet keep out Of the water.
Now that was a hard job. Every
time he gave the crank a twist, his
rm went under water, right up to
the elbow. The good man was recit-
ing the Lords prayer as we passed.
At least we surmised that he was
from few words that he uttered
as our good little craft pulled for
the shore.
Like "Pop" Gears, who added a
| Ford runabout to his string Of
thorobreds, Mr.. Gahagen has dis
covered that as a mud horse" he
wouldn't get away from the Ford.
