IN MEMORY OF JACK WOOD.

Our dear little schoolmate who has
recently passed away and gone to the
Great Beyond" is very much missed
in the little school room.
Words can't express how sad for us
children to gather in for books and
find that little Jack Wood is not with
us any more. Then to glance over
and see the unoccupied seat from
which all of his books have been taken
and only an empty desk left to grieve
us.
His cap missing on the wall; not
sound, a laugh nor a word is heard
from him, nor does he meet us in
class any more to recite his lessons.
All this makes us sad and causes US
to grieve for poor Jack. He was
bright, brown eyed boy with brown
hair and fair, rosy complexion-real
jolly and so full of fun he would make
any one love him.
On the play ground hew as always
found, so nice to the girls, would help
play any game we might suggest, and
help us out in other things we would
plan. But we must realize he was
called by the Father Almighty TO go
and serve his God, TO be with bright
happy little angels as he had been
here on earth to us. For several days
at school our bell has ceased to ring
to show respect and honor to our dear
little Jack and we pray to be good
and meet Jack in heaven someday.
A PERFECT DAY.
When you come to the end Of a per-
feet day
And you sit alone with you thought
While the chimes ring out with a
carol gay
For the joy that the day has
brought,
Do you think what the end Of per-
feet day
Can mean to a tired hearth
When the sun goes down with a hann-
ing ray
And the dear friends have TO part7
Well, this is the end Of a perfect day,
Near the end Of a journey, too;
But it leaves thought that Is big
and strong,
With wish that is kind and true;
For mem'ry has painted this perfect
day
With colors that nevr fade,
And we find, at the end Of a perfect
day,
The soul Of af riend we've made.
Carrie Jacobs Bond.

usual Merit Will Be Sold at

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 20, 1919,
at the Atkinson home in Blencoe, Ia,
beginning at p. m. sharp, on the
date Wednesday, October 20.
These cows are bred for winter
milking; more than twenty-five Of
them will have calves at their side on
date of sale; others will freshen with
in a few days thereafter, and most of
them rebred to registered Jersey
male Of unusual merit.
In these times, when the. car dis
places the horse cart because Of COM
fort and economy of time and mon
ey, why longer indulge in the ex-
travagance of trying to get ON in the
home with poor quality of milk,
cream and butter from beef-type Of

may obtain, at only trifle greater
than first cost, Jersey COW which
will cost much less to maintain, is
kind and gentle, and which will for

old, are the calves Of notable dams,
and were sired by outstanding sires
from notable herds, for instance: Po-
gis Exile, of Ames, grandson of Pogis
10Th of Hood Farm, Mass, who was
without question the greatest dairy
bull in the world, judged not from a
fictitious price, but from the number
merit of offspring. Pogis Exile. of
Anes, is the sire of the major part Of
this herd. I.

PRINTING AT LAST WITHOUT
PRINTER.

New York, Oct. Elimination of
typesetting, one of the costliest op-
erations OF magazine production, by
the use of plates made by photograph
ing the original typewriter copy,
has been accomplished in the October
18 issue of the Literary Digest, cor
sisting of eighty pages.
This radical innovation which was
brought about by the printers strike
in this city. leads the publishers to
suggest that "it is possible in this age
of marvels that the whole future of
magazine production may be revo!u-
tionized by the elimination of type
setting"
The makeup of the magazine is in
no way changed, the only difference
being that the type is that used on
typewriters, and is uniform in all the
reading matter throughout the mum
ber. The right hand side of each col
umn is irregular as in ordinary type
written copy.

THINKOGRAPHS.

When story gets out on you, do
not deny it, for that only fans the
flame, and besides, people may start
in then and prove it.
Send the missionaries to Europe
instead of Africa.
A mans wife may not fill all his
!ongings, but history stands pat on
she fact that when he switches around
into other pastures he gets rawer
deal than he had at home.
A man ought to be as polite to his
own wife as he is to other women. but
as soon as he tries it on as an ex-
pertinent she begins to wonder what
he has been doing that he is trying to
square himself for.
The weather bureau at Washington
says that neither the moon nor the
planets have any effect upon the
weather. We don't believe the wealth
er bureau has, either.
Billy Sunday says a person gets
new idea of hell every day he lives.
1t must be admitted that living at the

Chinese women are to obey their
husbands edict and quit wearing

husbands will issue an edict, whatever
that is--or else walk inside a barrel.
An exchange notes that married
couple in its town have separated be-
cause of an attack of cupidic infel-
icity That's nice way to put it. The
item does not state, however, whether
she used flatiron or rolling pin.
Another good way for the bride to
tell when the honeymoon is over is by
the wa the bridegroom hurries home
with her in the cleaning, instead Of
strolling along hand in hand and
counting the stars. He has something
else to count, such as dollars, dimes
and hours.
