Obituary.

While we undertake to write a short
sketch of the brief life of our beloved
niece, Mrs. Nellie Sutton of Annapo-
lis, Mo-, we do not, in any way, feel
able to express u grief and sorrow
in having to give up in death one as
good and true and faithful as Nellie
was. She was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Ed. Miller of Minimum. She
had been sick for a long time with
rheumatism, and on August 9Th, 1919,
the trouble seemed to center around
her heart, and on August 9th she pass
ed out to meet the Lord in whom she
put her trust.
Dear Nellie was aged 81 years, 10
months and 20 days. She professed a
hope in Christ at the age of 16-the
best step she ever made in her life,
for she proved her faith by her works,
at home and abroad. Her last words
to her mother were, "Mamma, no one
knows how I have suffered. But it
seems | must live for my children; but
we can't understand all things. But
will soon know all thingstnand clasp
ed her hands together with sweet
brightness On her face, although in
the moment of death. She prayed
much and said II would love to stay
with my children, but the dear Lords
will be DONE" She never forgot her
parents, nor any oae else, in her
prayers. She said "Msmma, I always
left my children in the hands of the
Lord when | went to my work. I put
all my trust in Him and he watched
over them, for | always found them
all right"
Nellie was good and kind to all. Her
mother said, "Nellie was always SO
sweet and kind, just left the world
that way, just went to sleep-yes, and
was gone before I had time to think
about it.n
Nellie leaves a dear mother and
father, three brothers and teree sis
tiers and many relativee and a host of
friends, and the greatest of all to her
heart, while she lived, and even in
death, her three little children-one
boy and two girls. She has left them
in good care, just as she did when she
was here.
Just a few words to the children OF
your father and mothers broken
home. Once you were all united
here around the old home, where you
spent so many happy days together.
How sad it is to think that it is past,
and never will be again, and some OF
you may be unprepared to meet each
other in that home the Lord has pre-
pared for all that love Him and one
another. So, as we pass along this
way, let US do all in our power to
meet our loved one gone before.
Nellie was laid to rest in the Marble
Greek cemetery to await the meeting
in the air. AN UNCLE.

ofyvotiDg. The Wcmen's Missionary
Society as usual had some very inter
esting features in their program.
For the first time in my direct con-
nection with the financial end of the
assembly We have closed the year
with a surplus which will run to some
thing more than $500 after the bills
are all paid. DR.. Holt arranged the
program end of it so we'll that he
has a small amount yet to be applied
on the program for next year.
There are some things very much
needed there and which we must have
if the assembly continues to be the
blessing that it has been. The first
essential thing is water. We must
have a swimming pool, some shower
baths and better sanitary conditions.
The board of trust ees took action in
this matter and have asked our super
intendent to take 1t up along with
hotel enterprise and sell stock for a
10000 project, which will include
both the hotel and the water supply
we need.
There is a strong probability that
we will secure a summer school of
Sunday School instruction which will
cover Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas;
also some talk of a summer school on
Epworth League methods. This will
greatly enlarge u work and show
the standing Arcadia has in church
at large and necessitate more than
ever meeting the needs I have just
mentioned. Besides this, DR.. Holt
has already begun to work out a
plan for a summer school of the
ology, to which we hope to bring all
the undergraduates OF the st. Louis
Conference and other conferences
that may desire to send their under
graduates to us. Arcadia has a chance
now for some big things if we will
get behind them and advance their
claims and give her the working facil-
tiles we must have to make demands
for these institutions.
The trustees need the cooperation
of the entire Conference. Will not
some of the strong laymen get behind
this movement and help the trustee
to put the Methodist Assembly at Ar
cadia where it belongs. Our superin-
tendent will be in the field much next
year and we desire you to know that
he is not simply representing himself
nor the trustees but the entire Con-
ference. Keep Arcadia on your pro-
gram for next summer.
We are getting better roads through
Missouri and it is becoming a whole
lot easier for the people to reach
Arcadia in machines and we are ex-
peoting that they will be there next
year in large numbers. We hope tc
to see you among the number.

Dutch Form Of Golf.

Where and when golf started no.
body knows of a certainty; whether
or not it comes from Holland or Scot
land matters little, perhaps, except to
the seeker after the truth and nothing
but the truth. To him we would say
that some sort of a game resembling
golf was played in Holland oftentimes
on the ice with stakes instead Of
holes. No rules for such play have
ever been discovered, but from pic
lures we learn that the finish of this
Hollandish form was somewhat after
the fashion Of croquet, with the ball
being hit between two sticks.

Persia's Favorite Beverage.

The great beverage in Persia is sher-
bet, which is plentifully supplied and
of which there are many varieties
from the bowl of water with a squeeze
of lemon to the clear concentrated juice
of any sort of fruit to which water is
added to dilute it. Only among the
rich and fashionable are glasses used;
in all other cases sherbet is served in
china bowls and drunk from deep
wooden spoons carved in pearwood.

IT makes me tired-mighty tired-to
read the outpourings of the Ground
Robin" Senators. Their fear OF "en-
tangling alliances, newborn and gro
tesque, would be entertaining if the
hazard were less. How can there be
formulated g plan to avoid future war
without a world alliance? Either we
must come to that or abandon attempt
to prevent national throat cutting
and devastation. Surely the $4,000
graves of American boys in France
ought to plead for the adoption of the
League of Nations. Let the honorable
Senators seeking to thwsrt the will
OF the people they misrepresent look
we'll to themselves, for the day of
reckoning is coming!

Wisdom Of Solomon.

In the proverbs Of Solomon there
Is this bit Of wisdom: Though thou
shouldst bray a fool in a mortar among
wheat with a pestle, vet win not his
~foolishness depart from him." More
than two thousand years of world expe-
rience sustains the accuracy of the
Biblical proverb. Braying the fool in
d mortar may not cure him, but it is
sometimes the only way Of Kidding the
community Of pernicious fools intent
upon spreading the contaglon Of their
own folly.

Iron Duke Was Good Musician.

Most Of you have heard Of the Iron
Duke, the duke of Wellington, who
was one Of the great commanders Of
England, winning glorious victories
for her. But none of you, perhaps,
know that this Iron Duke, notwith-
standing that he was a famous war
rior, was also something of a musi-
clan. At one time, observes a writer
in the Brooklyn Eagle, he directed a
concert in England, after he had be-
come famous as a commander. Not
every soldier could do that, and turn
so easily from one kind of work to
another.

Homes Help Community.

A wealthy Englishman once said
that a good home was an institution
for civilizing a community, and in
stead of surrounding his own home by
a high hedge, like many in the vicin-
ity, he built about it an open fence,
so that whoever passed, rich or poor,
might enjoy the beauty of house and
lawn and garden. 1t is a good thing
for the girls of today who are to be
the home makers of tomorrow, to-
grow up with the idea that the home
owes something to the community.

To ALL just demands of Labor the
people are willing to scoede. And
why not? Their interest and welfare
are intertwined with those of wage

for Government ownership of rail-

Believe Danger of Jap-American Crisis
 Has Been AVerted

Tokio, Monday, Nov. 3.-The con ciliatory and dignified nature of Japan's reply to the American note of last September complaining of lack of cooperation of Japanese troops in the operation of the trans Siberian railway is believed here to have removed any danger of serious complications between Japan and the United States over the railway.
 In effect the reply ratifies the arrangement reached at Vladivostok by Roland s. Morris, the United States ambassador, and General Oi, commander of Japanese forces in Eastern Siberia, and commits Japan to cooperation in the future. Under the circumstances it is considered ua- likely here that the United States will further pursue the matter.

Hotel Reserved
 for Americans
 Who Visit Graves

Paris, Nov 8.-The first hotel in France, reserved exclusively flor Am erican fathers and mothers who have crossed the ocean to visit the graves of their dead, will be opened at Ro- magne, where is located the largest American military cemetery in France. He sleep more than 21,- 500 American boys who laid down their lives in the war.
 Now that passport restrictions are being lifted, many American par ents are coming to France every day to visit the graves of the American soldiers. Some mothers come alone, and not knowing French customs and language, suffer many discomforts finding the way to their boys grave. Many wish to remain day or two at the cemeteries which are some distance from the nearest towns but until now there have been no accom- modations.
 Similar hotels will be established later at other American cemeteries. The second one will probably 5e placed at St. Quentin.
 After Romange, the next largest cemetery is the one at Thiacourt with 4,2OO graves. Among the other large American cemeteries are: Beaumont, 75O graves; Fismes, 1900 graves; Ploisy, 1885 graves; Juvigny, AIS graves; Pare-en- -Tardenois, $500 graves; Belleau, 2,500 graves; Bony, 1900 graves and Villiers-Tournelle, 400 graves.

CHAPTER XXXVI. WECOMED TO KENTUCKY.

When our train arrived at Winches- ter. 2 fe.v miles from which little blue grass cic..- was the Gordon Hayes estate, l was pleasantly ex- cited. My face was flushed and my manner was eager, as Crittenden told me. But for that matter he was as eager and enthusiastic as l was.
 Exectant, we stepped from the train. Crittenden's quick eye caught sight of his father seated in dog cart and trying to calm his fractious span of young horses that he had driven over to meet us. The train went on and the horses became quiet Then we approached the dog-cart.
 Colonel Hayes, Crittenden's father, leaped to the ground as negro took the horses heads at his signal. He lifted his hat with a courtly grace, showing his white hair, long and waving. He wore a goatee, also white. white. His eyebrows were black, giv- ing him look most distingue. He was straight as an arror and slender of build though powerful, athletic. He and Crittenden were the same height, apparently, and were symmetrical.
 l think l stood little bit in awe of Colonel Hayes for a moment until he smiled and bowed to me. Then he held my hand, bent over it and kissed it like gallant I was qui.e carried away by the grand manner of my father-in-law. 1 felt myself blushing furiously l was unaccus- toned to such ceremony in a greet ing. Then he handed me into the cart, motioned Crittenden in beside me and with elastic step sprang to the front seat, gathering the reins into his strong hands. And We were off.

Here's New Scheme
 For Bagging Ducks

Mitchell, s. D., Nov. 8.-Street commissioner John Doty has invented spectacular method for bagging ducks but it is doubtful if his scheme Will prove madly popular.
 Hunters simply do not care to use their heads" is Doty's explana- tion
 The street commissioner recently was hunting near Forestburg. When he got through he returned to his automobile, which he left near a slough. Switching on his headlights, Doty began to change his shoes in front of the car.
 There was whizz, a bang, and Doty received a tremendous blow on the head. Although partly stunned he noticed a dark object crash against the car and recovering his wits, he quickly investigated.
 A big mallard, attracted by the lights, flew straight at the car but collided with Doty's head and broke its neck.

Then we kissed each other rapturously. 1 cried a little, very softly, but I did it because of her joy. l always shall over Crittenden's mother, for the love that she gave me at once, unreservedly. with the spontaneity of her sweet nature "Mother Hayes!" I cried, holding her in my arms looking at her for the exquisite pleasure of her sweet face gave men. "Oh, l love you, ! love you!"
 She only murmured: My sweet daughter, my sweet daughter" and patted my cheek.

 Colonel Hayes, hat in hand, bowed to us as we preceded him into the house. There was smile on his handsome face and his eyes, were bright as he looked at me. Welcome, thrice welcome, my daughter" he said warmly as he drew my arm within his own and led me to chair by slumbering open wood fire. And when he had seated me, he touched my cheek with his lips in fatherly kiss. Thus l made my happy entrance of the house and home where Crit tenden had spent his boyhood. It seemed to me that l was a lucky girl to have won so soon the love of this unusual couple.

20 Per Cent of
 Cotton Seed in
 Boil Has Sprouted

Little Rock, Nov. 8.-About 20 per cent of cotton seed in the boil has sprouted, according to k. F. Fergu- son, an Oklahoma cotton specialist, who has been Investigating the con- dition of seed in plantations in Jef- ferson and Pulaski counties. MT. Fer guson apprehends that there will be difficulty in obtaining good seed for next years crop unless care is exer- cised now.
 MT. Ferguson said he made four tests on one plantation, using 100 seed from different parts of the field in each test, and found the percent age of sprouted seed was from II to 23 per cent.
 "This makes an average of IF to IS per cent of seeds that are germi- nated," said Mir. Ferguson. A cer- tain percentage of these yet contain some value for oil, meal and hull products. The damage through ger nlination will be about 20 per cent.
 While the fiber is dry in the cot ton that is now being gathered, the seed contains from 25 to 40 per cent moisture, which will further the dan- age of the seed by heating if it is thrown in a bulk" he said.
 "The fact that great care will be necessary in obtaining seed for the next years crop is most evident, and in many cases it would be best for the farmers to purchase their seed as soon as possible"
