Carl Garthwaite was born in Little
Grant Oct 16, 1892, and died at the
home Of Mrs. VIM. Jerrett' ST.. near
Mt. Zion March 20, 1920, at the age of
II years, months ana days.
Carl had a kind disposition and al
ways had a smile for everyone. He
was never known to be cross or dis
agreeable and was held in high esteem
by all who knew him. He spent his
childhood days on the farm with his
parents until they retired then he
spent most of his time in the en-
plOyment of Clyde Beetham until the
call of his country came when he join
ed the service and went to Camp
Grant. Here he was in training from
Sept. 10, 1917 to April 80, 1918, when
he sailed for France arriving over
seas May 18th, 1918.
His engagements were at Saizerais
sector, Montdidier- Noyon, ST. Mihael,
Muse-ArgOnne and in the army of oc-
cupation. He came back wearing the
five service stars and we can truly
say he did what he could for the prin-
ciples imbedded in our flag.
The burial service was held at the
Little Grant church. The text for the
occasion was 2 Timothy "a and he
was laid to rest beside his mother.
He leaves to mourn his wife, father,
three brothers and four sisters: Wal
lie of Lancaster Norman of Little
Grant, Will of Flora. Mrs. Will Hick=

Putting an Zoo in a Bottle.

An egg may be put into a bottle
which has mouth much smaller than
the egg. says Popular Mechanics Mag
Rzine. First soak the egg in vinegar
until the shell becomes soft and pli-
able. 1t will then be easy to force
the egg into the bottle. Pour cold
water into the bottle and allow it to
remain until the shell becomes hard
again. The bottle can then be shown
TO friends, who are certain to be great
~ mystified by the sight of an egg

Ignite in Syria.

Coal in the ordinary sense of the
word, does not exist in Syria. but
there are beds of Ignite containing
traces of vegetable organisms. The
principal beds are in the Mettu: that
of Cornaeil, which has been worked /:
and in the district of Jezzine. those
of Nina and Haitour. to The east OF
Sidon. This is very extensive but
shallow and c-ose to the surface. At
Jezzine amber. yellow and black. is
abundant.-C Christian Science Monitor.

1t our duty to state exactly what we
meant to accomplish.
That article was written for the sole
purpose of awakening the people of
this city to an interest in what dis
position is being made of the money
which they pay into the treasury as
taxes.
We are heartily tired of hearing
though taxes in any form were an un-
necessary evil, and then seeing them
shut their eyes for the balance of the
year to what is done with their money.
1t is little wonder that city councils
grow careless when they know that
the people have so little interest in
what they are doing.
Had the tax payers been alive to
what the council was doing, and had
the council known, as they would
then have known, that they were
likely to be taken to task for
any unbusiness-like measures, they
would not within the past year have
voted the most expensive possible
pavement for one of the least used
roads in the city while portions of its
main approaches remained in their
present deploraDle condition, they
would not%hav pulled down the old
city hall and turned themselves and
the city fire apparatus into the street
until they at least had contract for
a new city hall and they would not
now have under consideration prop
osition to buy for $4,000 a sheet iron
blacksmith shop for fire house when
they will have plenty of room and
could erect on the city hall lot much
more suitable house for much less
money.
i This article is not a protest against
taxes. Our taxes are not unreason-
ably high and, until we have many
things necessary to the common well
fare which we do not have, it would
not be good business to lower them
What we really do need is to adopt
a program of improvement covering a
period of years, submit that program
to the people for referendum vote
and then, if it be approved, work
steadily toward its completion In
that way, and in that way only, will
we ever accomplish any permanent
results.

May Have Been Lincoln,s.

Abraham Lincoln had the habit of
carrying in his pocket four or FIVE cents
each with hole so that they were
strung on string. One of them he
lost. Recently Mrs j. L. Underwood
of Newcastle, Pa, found such cent
bearing date 1918 in field near Lin
coin City, and she has refused $3.50
for it.

So far the Herald has noticed the
newspapers are generally in favor of
economizing as much as possible on
paper provided no news or advertis-
ing gers away from them. The plan
OF having the big city dailies cut down
on their Sunday editions is especially
popular. In general we are all in
favor OF the other fellow cutting down
MS business 10 to 80 per cent provid-
ing we can get plenty of material to
do business with ourselves.

IOWA FARM BRINGS
NEARLY A MILLION

About the biggest Iowa farm deal
this season was made by r. T. Col
ter Of Spencer, when he purchased
the Allan Grove Farms of 2,322.S6
acres adjoining the town of Hospers
in Sioux county, for $900,00000. This
makes an average price of 1887 45 per
acre. The land is divided into sew
ell farms They will be split into
many more now 1t is estimated that
the Allans will have to pay almost
100000 income tax on this deal
Times have changed since any young
couple could have 100 acres almost
for the asking, and the only problem
was to secure the team and pillow ne
cessary i'll those days for an up-to-
date farm equipment.-K Knoxville Elk

VOTER

| have read with interest the two
articles in recent issues of your val
liable paper relative to the cost of the
much talked of cemetery road The
writer's of those two articles seem to
want to be fair in their statements to
the public, but for some reason they
do not cOnfine themselves to the ac-
tual figures in the case which are
easily ascertained at the office of the
city clerk. The first article overes-
Inmates the cost of the work, and the
second article underestimate the
cost of same.
Upon careful inquiry l find the cost
of said road when completed will be
approximately $1S,055 which | will
itemize according to the contracts
that have been let to VIM. Mcmahon
and c. E. Rich & Co. of this city. VIM.
Mcmahon was awarded the contract
for excavation and grading and guard
rail. The blue print shows $3.50 GU
bic yards-S9c per Gu yard for dirt,
Sligo per Gu. yard for rock and soc
per lineal foot for guard rail is the
price paid Mr.. Mcmahon for his part
OF this contract. Mr.. Mcmahon states
that 500 yards Of this grading will be
rock as near as he can estimate at
this time, which would bring the cost
OF grading up to $5,912.O0 Add to
this $3.50 for 53S feet of guard rail at
soc per foot and $50 for extra work at
cemetery gates made necessary by
establishing a new grade.
c. E. Rich & Co. have a surfacing
contract from stake o to stake 80 plus
20, II feet wide that contains 1924
square yards. Their contract price
is $l.S2 per square yard which
amounts to $9,507 The city furnishes
the stone in bins at quarry for this
work, and from what information
am able to OBTAIN, would think that
S1.5O per Gu. yard Or soc per square
yard would be a reasonable cost. 1924
square yards of stone at soc is $1567.
Surely while this road is being
built the city council will nave the
entrances to cemetery surfaced and
curbed and a fair estimate of this ex-
ira work would be $500. 1t is also
necessary that the cemetery should
be connected with the city water.
While the excavation was being done
the pipe line was destroyed. This
Will mean an additional cost of about
$500 for 5000 feet of pipe and laying
same which should be paid for by the
citys The city clerks books will
show that 5000 worth $of culvert pipe
was purchased to take care of side
streets and private entrances. This
was made necessary on account of u
new grade being established.
The total cost of this road when
