we can give them is more terribly
needed than warm clothing. 1t is lit
orally true that the work the Red
Cross has undertaken to do in making
clothing for the refugees means the
saving of thousands of lives this win
ter, particularly among women and
children. We are making undergar-
ments for men, outer clothing for
women and children and layettes for
babies. The material has been pro-
vided, but it will merely represent
large amount of money wasted unless
the women of America will again fill
our Red Cross work shops and again
give unselfshly of their time and Ia
Dor without counting the self-sacri-
fee which the work demands. There
is nothing thrilling, there is nothing
dramatic about such labor-it is rath-
er hard, uninteresting work, coming
at time when all of US are very busy
and when most of us feel that we
have earned a rest, but there isn't a
bigger opportunity for really fine and
useful service open to US today than
this chance to "bind up nations
wounds and to give help that really
counts in the great work to recon
struction.
So when the New Year greets US,
the happiest year that the world has
ever seen, don't let US, in our big per
sonal joy, overlook this great oppor-
tunity of service-to comfort the
fatherless, befriend the friendless,
clothe the destitute. Make it Happy
New Year, both for yourself and for
the ones you are so nobly assisting.

Abraham yoss

Taken seriously i'll while visit
ing his sons in Iowa two weeks
ago, Abraham Voss was forced
to return with his wife to their
home here from which he de-
parted a corpse Monday after
noon for burial at his old home
cemetery at Qskaloosa, Ia. Short
funeral services were conducted
at his home by Rev. M. G. Davis
in the afternoon.
All his children except Abe
were with their stricken father
during the latter days Of his
sickness.
Abraham Voss was born Oct.
6, 1845 az KIaswaal, Netherlands
and came to America with his
parents at the age of nine and
settled near Pella, la. In 1896
lhe was united in marriage to
Miss Gertrude Neimansyeidreit
and to the union came eleven
children.
In 1904 the family purchased
the farm known as the -Dred
Finnell place just west of town
where they lived until two years
ago. the boys having left fol
employment elsewhere and the
parents growing too old to con-
duct the farm.
| At the age of 81 Abraham
Voss united with the Reformed
Church and died in the faith Of
that organization. Industrious,
frugal and sociable. Abe Voss
was a good citizen and the sym
pathy of the community is with
the bereaved family.

Telephone Rate Meeting

Citizens in considerable num-
ber met at the court house Tues
day night and accepted the
proposition to allow an increase
of rates, home phones S1.4O and
business houses $2.40 a month,
an increase of 40 cents the
month.
There are other ways the man
ayers of the phone lines have of
scooping their patrons. We
learn that recently a family
moved from a dwelling where
a phone was installed.
Another family moved in and
was charged $3.50 for installing
the phone that was already
there. Such graft as this and
inferior service, especially at
night, eventually works to the
disadvantage of company and
procures sooner or later, legis-
lation which in most cases is as
far wrong the other way. There
will be fewer phones at the new
rate and decidedly better service
demanded or the course pursued
at Marceline and other cities
will be followed here.

The State Far

AtlS dChuUWleuReQ on all SlQeS
that the state fair at Sedalia last
week was the best from all stand
points. taken together, ever held.
The attendance was larger by
far than any other year in spite
OF two storms which reduced the
crowd considerably both Friday
and Saturday. 1t is pretty GER
tain that the fair will pay out
this year and have a surplus, due
almost entirely to the APPENDED
management of Mr.. Jewel Mayes
and the secretary, MIR. ByIander
and their able and willing assist.
ants. The job of secretary is a
big one and that Mr.. Bylander
handled it most excellently is
attested bv the success attained.
The Missouri record for autos
was beaten Saturday and the
track time of 55 seconds for a
mile on a rather heavy track
shows for itself. Geo. Gersten
with his little flying machine
did everything that can be done
in the air by man with a heav-
Ter than air craft and the others
on the ground lid fine stunts to
to the delight and thrilling of a
vast multitude. The storm Fri
day evening came near playing
havoc with everything on the
grounds. The tents for boys and
campers were sll but three blown
down and numbers of tents for
lunch and other purposes were
waited away. Light wires were
broken and a man trying to make
it to town in a Ford f1ivver got
mixed up with a broken live
wire and was instantly killed.
The 70, plane from Sykestorf,
Mo-, which gave exhibition and
pleasure flights at SIS per for
one passenger, landed with a
woman just before the storm
broke. She ran from the field
for the grand stand but before
she had gone far the plane was
caught by the wind, overlook
her and injured her seriously.
The 79, which the pilot had not
thine to stake down before being
struck by the wind, ran amuck
and in addition to injuring the
woman, knocked the tail off
anothe. plane and damaged still
another before it could be halted
and made fast to the ground.
! The pilot was bruised slightly
by being dragged about.
While in some departments
the displays were not So numer-
GUS as last year, how any one
could wish to see more or could
see more in a week, is beyond
US. The government display,
auto races and flying machines
were more than worth the time
and price, but these were yet
but a small part of the great
exhibition. The truck train
from st. Louis with rs trucks
was a sight as we'll as proved
that freight can be got across
the state in other ways than by
rail.
We take our hats off again tc

and courteous handling of the
