in Oregon Home

Mrs. j. E. Herrick of this city
received the sad word recently Of
the death of her mother, Mrs.
Amelia B. Wilcott, who had been
making her home with her son, Paul
w lcott, at Bridge, Oregon. Her
death was the result of general
breakdown due to her age, which
was seventy-seven years. She pass
ed away December 9th, and only
nine days after she had been called
away her son, Paul died suddenly Of
heart failure. He had been troubled
with his heart but his condition was
not considered serious. He had
written a letter to Mrs. Herrick,
telling her Of the mothers death,
and stated that he was troubled q
little with his heart but would prob
ably be better in few days and
would then write and tell her all the
particulars, but the next word re-
ceived by Mrs. Herrick told of his
death. He was forty-five years old.
The Wilcotts were residents of
Extra many years ago, coming to
this county from Illinois in 1881
Prof. Wilcott was elected principal
of the school here, during which
time he prepared a plan for grad
ing the school. In 1883 he was
elected County superintendent.
They moved from Extra about
twenty years ago. Only three chill
dren are left of the family. They
are: George B. of Cedar Rapids
Iowa Mrs. Jessie L. Herrick o.
Extra and Mrs. Maud Lietzel ol
Portland, Oregon.

American Legion Box
Social A Great Success

The box social and entertainment
given by the American Legion last
Thursday evening netted the boys
about $4,000. Except that the
state chaplain, who was to speak,
failed to arrive the entertainment
was given according to schedule.
There were fifty-two boxes all of
which were sold at good price.
A personal invitation had been
sent to the old soldiers and in re-
sponse Sam Harm prepared and sent
a box trimmed with red, white and
blue. The box sold for $3O.5O, a
fitting tribute of esteem for the
giver, who is a veteran of rhe Civil
war and has proven his loyalty to
the country which he helped to
preserve, and has not lost his zeal
but is still alive to it's interests.

If the Paper Doesn't Come

My father he says the paper he
reads amt put up right.
He finds lot of fault, he does,
perusin' it all night.
He says there amt a single thing
in it worth while to read,
And that it doesn't print the kind
of stuff that people need.
He tosses it aside and SAYS its
strictly on the bum
But you ought to hear him hollel
when the paper doesn't come
He reads about the weddin's and
he snorts like all get out;
He reads the social doin's with 6
most derisive shout.
He says they make the papers fol
the women folks alone.
He'll read about the parties ane
he'll fume and fret and groan
He says Of information it doesn'
contain a crumb-
But you ought to hear him hole
when the paper doesn't come
He's always first to grab it and h
reads it plumb clean thru,
He doesn't miss an item or a wan
ad, that is true.
He says they don't know what W
want the durn newspaper guy
Pm goin' to take a day sometim

Sometimes it seems IS though the
must be deaf, blind and dunn
But you ought to hear him hollt
