Mrs. Charles Gordy.

Mrs. Chas. Gordy came from
I Canada when che was but a girl
in her teens and made her home
here in st. Mary Parish. Rela-
,ives of the family are still living
in the North, but the greatest
nun Der are her immediate desc
endants residing in various parts
of Louisiana. When death over
took her on the afternoon of Jan.
18th, 1919. there stood by her bed.
aide three sons and three daugh-
ters,
Roy-her baby boy-was far
away in France. Mrs. Gordy's
most ardent wish was to live long
enough TO see him once again,
but death denied her the boon of
looking again into his face. She
left him message, Tell Roy that
[ did my best to hold out long
enough to see him."
When she realized that her
strength was failing fast, she set
her face and lifted her eyes stead
f8stly towards the Heavenly City.
Mrs. Gordy retained her faculties
throughout her malady.
She was conscious and Sensible
to the last breath and she passed
away without the slightest trace
of fear or apprehension. She fell
asleep assuring Us of her trust in
Jesus.
r Mrs. Gordy possessed one of
the gentlest of natures. She was
very retiring in her disposition,
very timid amongst strangers, al
ways quiet. and for this reason it
was rare indeed that she could be
induced to express her feelings
aud emotions.
She felt deeply, but said little.
And the writer may add, as
just tribute to her memory, that
she bore her sufferings with the
utmost patieuce and passed out OF
this life without giving utterance
to the slightest complaint.
May her life and memory be q
precious possession to her sister,
her sons and daughters, and to
all, those who knewand loved her.

Why do your COWS give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.

Labor Shortage

An authority on farm labor re-
ports that the shortage of farm
labor is least apparent where the
laborer IS best cared for. In many
sections the harvest helpers have
no relation to community life. They
often sleep in barns or out doors.
Every year the county Jail is full
at harvest time.
10 other districts efforts are made
to develop industries that will give
them winter work. Little homes
are build for them. frequently with
a plot of land which they have the
exclusive right to cultivate. Not
much complaint of labor difficulties
where these ideas are carried out
