Mrs. c. r. Green, Of Cavalier, was
called to Grand Forks last week, by a
message stating that Mr.. Green was i'll
at the Deaconess Hospital. Ray Green
also drove down to see his father
whom he found much improved in
health. 1t is thought Mr.. Green is
suffering from physical breakdown.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. "A. McQuinn return
ed from White Salmon, Wash, where
they have made their home for the
past year and half, last week and
will take up their residence in Wal
halla again where they have spent the
best years of their life. The many
friends are glad to welcome them
back.
While lighting the fire in the range,
one morning last week, Rev. A. O..
Birchenough had a tussle with the
flames that resulted rather disaster
ously for him. 1t seems that, the wood
being wet, he attempted to hurry it,
and picking up a. can of, what he sup
posed was kerosene, but what proved
to be gasoline, he poured good sup
ply on the smouldering wood. The
result was an explosion and a fire that
badly damaged the kitchen and burned
about $40 worth of clothing before it
could be put out. There was no in
surance.

last tribute of respect to the departed

Pray tell me what has become of him
Our great big hearted jolley "Jim"
So full of vigor and of life
So fond of his babe and his CHEEKY
wife.
Can it be that his voice is hushed and
still,
That no more his place in the home
he'll fill,
That his eyes are closed in their last

weep.

And the form of our loved one is laid

What we call death, say, can it be
Just the entrance into eternity,

With its streets of gold and it's gates
ajar.
Pray why is this life so uncertain,
And why hath no eye pierced the cur

That wells from our vision the home
of the blest,
Where loved ones departed are safely
at rest.
Precious thot that the Christ the Re-
deemer,
He is able our souls to deliver
Let us serve him each day then what
ever
When death comes to us we may dwell
at his side.

TRUTHS OF THE TRIAL

In passing sentence upon Gilbert
tnd Townley, Judge Dean took occas-
sion to reply to George Creel, the
presidents appointee as head of the
official publicity committee Of the ad-
m'nis,ration during tho war.
In answer to Creel's contention that
''cwnley was denied his constitutional
rights because not permitted to ad-
dress the jury The Judge quotes the
state constitution showing that he had
no such right.
"Townley's attempt to speak was
Just trick in order to be enabled to
address the jury, after he refused to
take the witness stand in his own de-
fense for the obvious purpose of MAX
ing statements when not under oath
to the jury upon which he could not
be cross examined" When the Pion
eer Express commented upon the trial
of Townley, some weeks ago, stating
practically the same opinion of Town
ley's motives, we, according to the
Editor of the Chronicle "raved and
roared in terms so narrow that it is
unbelievable that man with the
smallest amount of thinking matter
would reason the trial out that way"
Another point made by Creel was that
neither Townley nor Gilbert, charged
with speeches to undermine loyalty,
were allowed to show patriotic &C
tivities'' at other times and places, in
answer to which Judge Dean calls at
tention first to the fact that four diff
ferent speeches were admitted at the
trial in their entirety and no objection
made. AS evidence Of the amount of
loyal enthusiasm aroused by them at
their meetings, Red Cross collections
were taken up, one at New Ulm, in a
gathering Of 1000 people, which
amounted to $115.10 or about 5H cents
apiece, and another at Cambria where
there were 1900 people, producing $50
or about 7H cents apiece.
One can easily imagine the furore
of enthusiasm which swept through
those audiences as consequence Of
Townley's and Gilbert's rousing words
of patriotism. We quote further the
Townley sheet at Cavalier: "The
Pioneer Express raves about the SIG
solicited from the members. to keep
the organization together. We wonder
If the Editor is peeved because he did
not get the SIG to say a few words
against Townley and the League" The
Editor of the Chronicle will learn, if he
hasn't already, that the Pioneer Ex-
press will continue to "say a few
words" concerning the truth about
Townley and the League propaganda
without remuneration. as we have in
the past.

ANOTHER OBITUARY.

The Schafer Record is the latest paper
to succumb, Editor w. S. Graham puts
it this way: ''Another paper which
Townley has really dubbed to death, as
it has depended wholly on legal-private
legal-publlcations for support. Town.
ley knocked the props from under it. !
am going to hang on to the Watford
Guide, however and use 1t for the ex.
press purpose of eating the props out
from under the Grand Potenate. The
Schafer Record will suspend publication
with the issue of September 49,"

the same as the preceding three years
