AT REST

Lime Springs, Qowa) Sun
Mrs. William w. Thomas OF
Clear Lake, Wis, passed away
last Saturday morning after
many years of illness. Mrs
Thomas had been i'm poor health
for the last seventeen years, and
was a very patient sufferer and
was resigned to the divine Will.
In all circumstances of life she
was always relying upon Him
who hath promised to care for
those who put their trust in Him.
This was her great consolation in
her last days, that she was able to
say III whom she had believed,
and that He was able to keep that
which had been entrusted in His
care.
Her maiden name was Anna
Grace Jones, and she was born
Feb. 10, 1876, at Bethel Carna-
wonshire, North Wales.
She was united in marriage to
the late VIM. w. Thomas in the
year 1868. Nine children were
born to this happy union, of
whom six are living-Mrs. Lizzie
Conley of Sisseton, S. d., Mrs.
Annie Hanna, William S. ana
Owan A. Thomas of Clear Lake.
Wis, David w. Thomas of st.
Peter, Mimi. John w. Thomas of
Deer Park, Wis, all Of wllor,
we're present at the time Of the
death of their dear mother, and
also to pay their last homage of
respect at this place.
In 1883 the family emigrated
to this country, making their
home chiefly on a farm near this
city until 1914 when Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas moved to Clear
Lake. July 10, 1917 she met with
a great bereavement through
the death of her beloved hus-
band, VIM. w. Thomas. The re-
mains Of Mrs. Thomas arrived
here last Monday evening, and
the funeral took place last Tues
lay Afternoon when servi3s was
at the Welsh church, |
Rev. Edwards officiating. assist
I'd by Rev. Shoemaker. The re-
mains were laid to rest in The
iamily lot at Pleasant View ceme
cry. The bereaved family has
he sympathy of the community
n their hour of sorrow.

County Road System

En- another Goi X slt, ri 4 iSi1x fs,.
sue the County Auditor pub
fishes a notice of hearing on the
county road system proposed by
the County Commissioners at
their last meeting here. They
have laid plans for very good
system-one that will serve well
the people and give Roberts
County the finest roads in the
state. Of course all this work
cannot be done this year or next
year. The notice calls for hear
ing to change the proposed sys-
tenn and the commissioners would
like to have anyone who wants
these roads changed to meet
with them next Tuesday.

Last Saturday afternoon the
local high school base ball team

Fcents per seat per year; then
there came the Is per cent tax
per reel per day for running
then a 10 per cent levy on gross
income, and after May he will
pay 5 per cent a month on the
rental price of his films. This will
hc absorbed by the movie owner
himself and not passed on to the
public through an increase in adj
mission prices unless it becomes
absolutely necessary, according
to local motion picture men in
sneaking of the situation in
Sioux Falls, but i'm some cities it
is expected to almost double the
price of movie tickets.
Like the dealers in clothing, all
theater men keep a record of the
10 per cent tax ON admission
tickets and make monthly re-
turns and remittances to collec-
tors of internal revenue on or be-
fore the last day of the month
following that for which the re-
torn is made: Children under 12
years of age bona fide employees
ot the place of amusement, muni-
clral officers on official business
and soldiers and sailors in uni
form are exempt from the 10 per
cent general admission tax when
admitted free to places of amuse-
nlent under the new regulations.
These so-called luxury" tax
es are all in addition to the many
that went into effect on April /
which included iewelry, candy,
gum, furs, autor obiles, and
scores of other articles not count
ed as necessities of l!fe, the levies
on tobacco in all forms, on liquor
ret to mention the income, ex-
cess profits and war profits taxes
and general amusement taxes.
Congress intended these ''lux-
Try" taxes to fall on the rich and
the well-to-do people of the coun-
try but some of them will fall
Just as heavily on the great 90
rer cent of the population repres-
ented by the middle classes and
tFe poor, and they were written
into the revenue bill before it be-
came apparent that they were
unnecessary.
A bill to repeal them was pre-
sented before adjournment but
it was lost in the general filibus-
ter of the closing days. Though it
is probable that they will be re-
pealed at the coming special ses-
sion, until that time all we can do
IS grin and pay.

cd a Memorial Certificate and is
desirous of sending one to the
nearest of kin of each of the de-
ceased soldiers and sailors of this

rames and addresses of those
whose memories we seek to honor
and their nearest kin.
1t is desired that if anyone has
been overlooked, full informa-
ton be sent to Governor Nor
beck at once, in order that none

Look After the Seed Corn Now

Unfavorable weather this fall was responsible in large measure for the rather small number of exhibits shown at>the annual Corn Fair This means that most of our corn contains lot of moisture at the present time, and if cold weather sets in before the corn has an opportunity to dry out, there IS a good possibility of repetition of the conditions of two years ago:
 A liberal quantity of sound ears should be selected at once, and placed in dry atmosphere until thoroughly dry. Watch the corn carefully. If 1t does not dry out before severe weath- CT sets in. it should be stored where II is sure to be protected against freez- ing.
