early this morning at the postoffice

is not unlikely that the entire amount
will have been ordered before tomor-
row night.
The amount available for purchase
by Winnemuccans, together with the
price per case or bag, delivered in
Winnemucca, is as follows:

DEATH OF MILDRED TAYLOR.

(Western Star, Coldwater, Kans)
Miss Mildred Elmyra Taylor, aged
l6 years, 3 months and 6 days, died
shortly before 3 p. m. at the Nom
Hospital in this city Thursday, Feb
ruary l3, 1919, after an illness of
few weeks resulting from an attack Of
flu in early part of last December and
which developed into lung trouble.
She had been attending school in this
city previous to the holidays, but when
the closing ban went on she went to
the home of her father, Matt Taylor,
i'm Harrison, Ark. She had not been
there long when tuberculosis symp-
toms set in and she at once went to
Eureka Springs, hoping thereby to
benefit her health. She grew worse
quite rapidly, however, and she has
tened back to this city, thinking that
the change would prove beneficial.
But the disease had so fastened itself
upon her and her vitality had become
so low that medical aid proved of lit,
tie avail She passed away apparent
ly without much pain and was con.
scious to the last, with the exception
of few hours during the last day.
Mildred was born in St John, Kan,
on November 7, 1902. She came to
this county with her parents about 19
years ago. Her mother died in this
city November 20, 1912 Since that
time Mildred had made her home most
of the time with her uncle and aunt,
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Taylor, in this
city. Among the young people in our
city she was a favorite, being kind to
all and ever hopeful and cheerful She
Sunday school and was a Christian
young lady of the finest type. The
high esteem in which she was held by
her classmates was shown in a fine
memorial service which was held in
her honor in the high school on Satur,
day. The funeral services which were
largely attended, were conducted from
the Presbyterian church on Sunday
afternoon and were in charge by the
pastor, Rev. A. G. Alexander. Inter
ment was in the Coldwater cemetery.
The girls OF Mildred's classes and
her most intimate acQuaintances acted
as pail bearers and flower bearers.
Five boys sang in a clear and touch,
ing manner Beautiful Isle Of Some
where" Flowers, piled high, graced
the casket>and paid mute tribute to
the love and sympathy Of friends who
sorrow with the relatives in their be-
reavement.
Deceased is survived by her father
and four brothers, Wayne, Of this city,
Howard, who is a member Of the U.
S navy, Marion, who works on the
Hudson ranch in Clark county and
Dale, who now lives in Saint Clair,
Missouri.

My dear Mrs. Virgo;
In a few days your soldier will re
ceive his honorable discharge and

You have been an important mem
Der of that great army Of encourage
ment and enthusiasm which helped to
make him and all of us better soldiers
You can now be a great help in keep
ing aliye-the good qualities he is bring
ing back from the army, in making
him as good q citizen as he has been
a good soldier
His fare and necessary expenses to
point of induction will be paid by the
government He will receive all pay
due him, He may, if he wishes wear
his uniform for four months from the
date of his discharge The govern
ment will also allow him to keep up,
for the benefit Of his family, his in
surance at the very low rate he is now
paying
His return to civil life will bring
new problems for you both to solve,
The qualities he brings back will help
you now as your encouragement help
cd him while he was away, and in
your hands and his, rests the future
Of our country.
AS his commanding officer, | am
proud Of him. He has done his duty
we'll |, and his comrades, will bid
him goodbye with deep regret, and
wish him every success after he re-
turns home-that spot in every mans
