In sad but loving remembrance of our dear
mother. Martha l.. Bennett who died Jan. 8th,
1913, and our dear father, Samuel p. Bennett,
who died June 27th. 1918.
Our parents. their gentle voice is gone,
Their warm, true hearts are still
And on their pale and peaceful face.
Is resting deaths cold chill,
Their hands are casped upon their breasts
We have kissed their loving brow.
And in aching hearts we know
We have no parents now,
What is home without our parents?
lis now robbed of its flowers
There are broken, bleeding hearts,
That shall spend many lonely hours.
Oh, how we loved our parents dear,
No heart on earth can tell,
But Jesus loved them better
And called them home to dwell,
ADV. By their Children.

Here's "A Boost From Michigan
For Cash And Garry" Plan
(By Associated PressJ

Calumet, Mich, Oct. 80 The
elimination of the credit system
and delivery charges would re-
duce the cost of living fifteen per
cent, according to retail mer-
chants who testified in the living
cost inquiry conducted by Prose
cutting Attorney Lucas of Hough-
ton county. Two witnesses,
representing two of the largest
mercantile establishments in the
district, testified that cash
system and a "carry-your-own'
play would be a body blow to
rising household expenses and
they suggested these systems as
the only remedy for present con-
ditions.
1t is probable testimony rela-
tive to the credit and delivery
systems will be submitted to At
torney General Groesbeck of
Michigan and legislation con-
corning these phases of mercan-
tile business will be urged by the
