LIFE'S SUN SETS
FOR Disco PIONEER

Mrs. Jane Cowles, widow of the
late Charles Cowles, died at the home
of her son, near Smyrna. Friday
morning. She was an old pioneer
of Otisco township. The following
obituary has been handed in and is
herewith published.
Passed down to the dark river on
whose other side is peace, Mrs. Chas.
S. Cowles, Feb. z, 1919 aged 70 years,
months and % days.
The subject of this sketch, Jane
Carr, was born in the township of
Dumfries, county of Brant, Canada,
October 9, 1910. When about six
years of age she with her parents,
moved to Michigan settling on tract
of wild land in Keene township,
where she spent her young life.
On June l, 1859 she was united in
marriage with Charles S. Cowles of
Otisco township and to this union
were born seven children, Mrs. James
Spencer of Orleans, Spencer of Beld-
ing, Bella of Lowell, William of
Smyrna, Edward and Karl, who live
on portions of the homestead; Earl,
twin brother of Karl, passed from
this life in 1889, being in his 21st
year; IL grandchildren and four
Observation-Disclosures survive; her hus-
band having preceded her IL years
ago.
Soon after their marriage they set
tied on 100 acres of wild timber land
in Otisco township, where they lived
and labored for the next 20 years in
which time their farm had been made
to blossom as a prairie. In 1880
they sold this farm and purchased
$50 acres in Otisco township where
thew spent the remainder Of their
days. She proved herself to be a
valued friend, worthy helpmate and
loving mother. She adhered to the
Golden Rule, "Do unto others as we
would that others dc unto YOU" This
was her religion. Can any doubt that
in the vast scheme of universal SER
vice we have not lost friend or
that she has filled a niche no other
could have occupied?
The funeral was held from the
family residence Monday at l D. m,
Rev. Norton of \the Bedding M. E..
church officiating. A larpe concourse
of friends and neighbors followed the
remains to their last resting place in
the Smyrna cemetery where they
were placed beside those of her hus-
band.

VETERAN LIVERY.
Man SELLS OUT
ENTIRE BUSINESS
THIRTY-THREE YEARS TIME
HAS MADE GREAT CHANGE IN
THE LIVERY BUSINESS.

Elmer +. Fales has an advertise
ment in this issue in which he calls
attention to the fact that he has sold
out his livery, trucking and draying
business and that he still has num-
Der of articles such as horses, wag-
ons, buggies, ETC., to dispose of. If
you are in need of anything in this
line it will be well to turn to Mr.
Fales' advertisement and lock 3
matter up.
After 33 years of activity in the
livery business, Mr.. Fales has this
week sold out to Elon Johnson and
Harry johnson, two brothers, sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. c. johnson, east
of the city, who have already taken
possession and who will conduct the
business just west of the present
Fales' livery office and in new quar-
tiers which Mr.. Fales has fitted UP
and rented to them.
Mr.. Fales, who quits the business
after the long stretch of years is
the pioneer in his line Of business in
Ionia county and has seen the time
when the livery business was one of
the main institutions in the commun-
ity. His business was noted for the
excellence of the rigs and the service
which he maintained, but with the
coming of the automobile the livery
business fell off until at the present
time it amounts to but small item.
Mr.. Fales, however, built up a splen-
did, draying, trucking and freight
hauling business and it is this part
of it that the Johnson Bros. are pur-
chasing.
During the time that Mr.. Fales has
been in the business in this city he
has had the misfortune to have his
buildings destroyed by fire on two
different occasions, the first time af-
ter being in the business for Is years
and without dollars worth of insur-
ance. The second time was several
years ago, but the damage was not so
great at this time.
Mr.. Fales has served the county
two terms as sheriff and for several
terms has served this city as its may
or, position which he holds at the
present time. His plans for the fu-
ture are uncertain, but he may decide
to rest up fer time.

obliged to adhere to the conclusion he
had already reached, and reiterated
his offer to place at the disposal of
the railroad companies oil the infor-
nation in the possession of the Rail-
road Administration bearing on the
subject, and to provide the aid Of the
traffic experts employed by the Rail
road Administration in studying the
problem and bringing it to q conclu-
sion.
at was therefore resolved that the
General be accepted and immediate
steps be taken by the railroad COM
panes with such aid to ascertain the
pertinent facts and to prepare their
proposals for readjustment Of rates
in such way and to such extent as will
establish proper relationship be-
tween the expense and revenues Of
the railroad companies in order that
their financial needs may be adequately
provided for and they be put in a
position to perform efficiently their
transportation duties after their prop
critics are returned to them"
There was no indication how much
of an advance the railroad men thought
necessary. 1t Is considered likely that
nobody now knows how far apart nor
the present rates.
Business Growing Again
In announcing a growing deficit
month after month, Director Gene raj
Hines has made it clear that, while
increased payrolls and the higher
prices of all materials and supplies
had much to do with the failure to
make expenses, the abnormal falling
off in business also was prominent
factor. The last two months have
seen business picking up to such an
extent that the deficit Is being cut
down.
The railroad officials, therefore, will
have to figure on many things in ask
ing the commission to give them higher
rates. The amount most often heard
in discussing an increase has been %
per cent, perhaps due to the fact that
the last increase, initiated by Director
General McAdoo, was Of that amount.
Operating expenses have increased
about 95 per cent and the deficit in
creased by the government in the first
eight months of this year was approx
mately $500 100000. The substantial
gap between income and expense may
be widened still further by the pending
demands for more money made by viz
tually all tho railroad unions.
Inc conference between Mr. hines
and the executives was said to have
been occupied entirely with discussion
of methods of procedure. Whether an
advance was necessary, and how much.
did not enter into the talk. The rail
road men insisted that the governmen mt
should assume responsibility for the
advance, inasmuch as the wage raises
were the chief item in the increased ex-
pcnse, but Mr.. Hines refused. There
is no likeliho ood that the actual applica-
ton can be filed for weeks. though
work on compiling the data will star,
ct once.
