If he ever had any bad habits the fact was not known; he was a clean, manly young man, and a courageous one too. as his gallant death in his eountry's cause amply testifies.
 Clarence was a member of old Company A of Springdale, and was with the organization on the Mexican border He went with the orFani= zation to Camp Beauregard, La. and was supply sergeant of the company After number of weary weeks at Camp Beauregarl Clarence became impatient for action, and when vol unteefs were called for oVersea ser vice he surrendered his rank in his old organization and enlisted as q private with replacement division. going across in April After reach ing France he was placed in the Is Inf a regiment of regulars, and was later transferred to Co K. 23rd Inf, also regulars.

A. was stationed tenn porarily in Springdale, and 1t was necessary for the deceased to be ab- sent from his work as an officer in the Sunday School, he always saw that his place was filled and that the school did not suffer from his absence Mr Petfoss was followed by vocal solo, Just Beyond The Shadows" " which was very appropriate for the occasion and was well rendered by Miss Mildred Haight, accompanied on the piano by her mother Mrs Geo.

 During his closing remarks, Dr. Phillips paid very high tribute to the deceased as a young man. as q follower of Christ and also as sold fer, also calling attention to the ser vice flag which hangs in the church in honor of the members who are now, or were in the service of their country, seventeen in number, two of which have turned to gold in the last few weeks. one for Clifford Brogdan, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Brogdon, and the other for Clarence. In clos- ine Dr. Phillips read poem, Should the Star on Your Service Flag Turn to Gold" the sentiment of which was no doubt very consoling to the parents of the deceased.
