MORE ACTIVE
Field Worker of This Depart
ment Spoke Here And Urged
Women To Carry On Work

Nov that the knitting and hand
sewing are about over, we are urging
the men and women to make greater
efforts in developing the Home Ser

said Miss Ola Mae Arick, field rep
resenative Department of Civilian
Relief, Lake Division of the Ameri-
can Red Cross who spoke to the ex-
ecutive committee and several men,
bers of the Cloverport Red Cross on
Friday afternoon at the home of Miss
Elizabeth Skillman.
Miss Arick's main purpose in COM
ing here was to urge this chapter to
help maintain a paid secretary for
Breckenridge County, who would de-
velop the Civilian Relief Work which
takes in several branches of charity
and sociological work. The members
present generally agreed that the
Cloverport branch should do its part
towards paying the secretary's SAL
airy.
Another thing Miss Arick thought
best for the three societies in Breck-
inridge county, Hardinsburg, Irving
ton and Cloverport, was that they be
united into a county chapter. At a
meeting in Hardinsburg on Saturday
evening May II, this plan will be
discussed together with that of having
a paid secretary. The chairman of
the Home Service Department here,
Mrs. Frank Mattingly with Mrs.
Frank Ferry, Miss Elizabeth Skill
man and Miss Irene Jarboe were APP
pointed as delegates to attend the
meeting in Hardinsburg.

eastern part of the State are to be
represented The Cloverport Chap
ter will send its secretary, Miss

He had been in poor health for
several years with the dreaded dis

his bed about weeks before the end
came. He held out bravely to the
last saying, "he would get WE'LL" His
suffering was great at times tho he
never complained. Everything that
could be done to prolong his life was
to no avail.
He had spent all his life on the
farm and was highly respected by
all his friends and neighbors.
Fortyeight year ago Mr.. Rice pro-
fessed faith in Christ and united with
the Pisgah Baptist church where he
remained member of good standing

Mrs. Mandy Spencer, wife of Mr.
James Spencer died April 81, 1919.
Mrs. Spencer was converted in the
Methodist church at Cave Spring, and
since then she has lived a beautiful,
true christian life to the very end of
her earthly pilgrimage. Though hand
icapped most of her life by a frail
body, Mrs. Spencer nevertheless had
bravely, and met the world with a
a great soul. She bore her sufferings
smiling face. Her deep devotion to
her family, her loyalty to her church,
and her ardent love for the Master
were qualities everyone saw and APP
preciated in her life.
Not often found is such a resolute
will. strong faith and gentle spirit in
so fragile tenement of clay. These
were the qualities of soul that kept
this noble women going about her
duties both in the home and in the
church, when others as frail as she
would have given up. She was un-
iversally respected and loved.
1t was not surprising that she died
so triumphant life. She was con-
scious to the end, and spoke words
of affection and consul to her dear
ones. just before passing away, the
veil that hides from us the mysteries
beyond was drawn aside. and the de-
parting one said, that she saw the
light on the other shore. And it was
that light never seen on land or sea;
yea. it was the light of the glory of
God.
The bereaved family who will
mourn their loss is the husband, one
daughter, Clara Spencer and three
sons, Robert. Walter and Everett
Spencer.
The remains were laid to rest in
the Fairview cemetery.

UTAH |S TO SEND DOWN TRADING COMMITTEE

The proposition of Governor Bam berger of Utah to trade off the south east corner of Utah for the northwest corner of Arizona is all a mistake, said Governor Campbell yesterday.
 That is, the fact that Governor Bamberger is taking il seriously is d mistake, or msapprehension, on his part, doubtless based on tho misin- depreciation of a jocOse remark.
 At a recent conference of the go-- ernors of all the states, held at An napols, Governor Bamberger ap- preached Governor Campbell with the proposition to trade parts of San Juan county in Utah for that part of Ari- zona that lies above the Grand Canyon.
 Why, come down and see us about it, governor" was the reply of the Ari- zona executive, we are good at trad = ing horses down our way
 It seems. however, that the Utah executive is serious in his desire to acquire that part of Arizona above the Grand canyon.
 A resolution was adopted in the house of the Utah legislature yes terday providing for the appointment of a committee of three members of the legislature to come to Phoenix to con fer with the Arizona legislature rei- tive to the possible purchase of q striI of Arizona land which Utah believes should be a part of the Beehive state The resolution was sent to the senate l hurriedly, and the upper house sus- | pended the rules and passed 1t, too.
