Obituary.
Our entire ncighborhood was very
much surprised on last Saturday
morning when the announcement was
made that one of our oldest and most
respected residents. j, W, White. had
passed away about : a, M, ~ ms 'sth
year.
MIR. White had only been confined
10 his bed but "A few days with a Sc
we're attack Of pneumonia Almost cN'
cry day during the winter his familiar
figure would be seen gong To town
where he would visit short time win
his friends, make few purchases ana
return TO his home, and II was just
n few days ago that he was twlttlng
James Morgan Wilson that he, MI
White, would kill his vote at the polls
ut the next presidential election, MI
White having all his life been a
staunch Republican, and for the past
twenty years he has served as one oil
the Judges at the school election, ana
he bears the distinction Of having been
one of the kind Of citizens who VIII be
missed by his many friends and neigh
boys. He was "A law abiding citizen,
and attended to his own business, and
always had good word for everybody
James Washington White was born
in Ellis county, New York, July l.
lS4l, and died at his home January
81, 1920, aged rs years, q months and
81 DAYS. His fathers name was Rich
ard, and his mothers name was Anna.
His father was his mothers second
husband, and there were two sets of
children, one by the first husband and
three in the last family. His father
died before he was born, and when
Jim was about two years old, the little
family moved to "a point near Gales
burg, Ill.,, where he made his home I'M
iii he was II years old, when he began
TO make his own way by working on a
farm in Whiteside county, ILL.,, until
he was about 90 years old, when he
enlisted in the Union army, serving
in Co. b, l40th Regiment, until the
war ended, when he returned to White
side county. II was here that he met
and courted Mrs. Hattie Joice- Ander-
son, and they were married May D,
1869. A short time after their mar
rage they moved to Nebraska City,
Neb., where he engaged in railroad
work for about six months; from here
they moved to Richardson county
Neb., where they engaged in farming,
and after living here about two years
they moved over TO Holt county iocat-
ing short distance southwest OF bige-
low, where they lived for about a
year, thence to Corning, Mo-, for about
. year and half, and In 1874 they
moved to Bigelow where Mr.. White
engaged In teaming and farming; In
1878 he purchased a restaurant here,
which he conducted for q number Of
years, later on adding . barber shop

brand new one, and Frank has the
sympthy of everybody in this vicinity,
in that he did everything he could to
put out the fire in the garage before
giving attention to his own loss.
Almost every one In town Is re-
ported TO be more or less on the sick
list this week. Some doctors pro-
nounce the disease a light attack Of
the flu. At any rate II does not seem
to be as bad as II was last year, yet
one has to be careful as II seems

far there have been no serious casss,
and everybody Is staying indoors a.

LEIGHTON ON SEA, England,
Feb. s. Children in these pretty
coast towns of England will re-
member until they are grown men
and women, the times when the
Germans came, for even the little
tots can tell you of the air raids
when bombs fell down about the
houses and shrapnel fell thick from
the anti-aircraft guns in the har-
Dor.
Often the children were less
frightened than the grown-ups
when the great air giants came
from over the sea. The first
shells that were dropped along the
coast were intended to start fires
rather than explode and after the
"all clear" had been sounded, the
children would be out in the street
trying to help the special police
gather up the shells. The boys
were frequently so excited, it was
all they could do to stay indoors
when they knew that just over
head British airmen were battling
with the German air fleet, trying
to make its way to London.
But nobody was allowed outside
except the special police until the
news had come that the Germans
had gone. Then everybody was out
in the street to see if any damage
had been done and to talk about
the raid with their friends. One
night a great Zeppelin was brought
down, and for many miles along
the coast, people could see the

Prizes Drawn by Winners
in Army Essay Contest

Monday afternoon the chapel OF
the High School auditorium was
filled with boys and girls and
some grOwnups-eager to see what
prizes the different winners of the
essay contest would draw. This
contest was held under the direc-
ton of the United States War De-
partment. A program was enjoyed
of songs, and three different sets
of moving pictures, one showing
life at West Point with drills by
the cadets and the exercises for
one of the Commencement Days
there; another was picture in
which enlistment in the army
played part and the third, which
was probably the most interesting
of all was reel of pictures which
had been taken under actual firing
in Europe. Lieutenant Coyne OF
the First Division which played as
important part in Americas par
ticipation in the war as the other
cIlCu CldlCS lIlFlolOl VIC houOl SO
deeply-the Rainbow Division
spoke briefly of his life in Europe.
In every country in which he en-
tered, he said, the children came
up and made friends with the
American soldiers-in France, in
Belgium and in Germany. He spoke
of seeing the children of Germany
having recess one day and instead
of playing as we do here at that
time, they were practising soldier
drills. Lieutenant Coyne compli-
mented the interest taken in the
contest and the essays written by
Richmond boys and girls. He said
the children from his part of the
state Che is Hoosier too) would
have to go some to beat the Rich
mOnd children"
After this program the prize
winners of the contest were called

Um! Um! We Cook
Good Things to Eat

In our cooking class we girls
have very nice times. We learn to
make many nice dishes and keep a
book of our recipes. We are GA
girls from Finley school and 60 to
Hibberd to cook. At our last cook
ing lesson we had baked macaroni.
Perhaps you would like to try our
recipe. We take one half pound
macaroni, l cup grated cheese, 2
cups crumbs, one-half teaspoon salt
and dash of pepper, cup milk, l
cup water in which macaroni was
cooked.

great monster falling in mass of
flames.
The Boy Scouts and boys naval
units were valuable during the
, raids, for they helped get the peo-
pie to shelter and sound the warn
ing. They helped guard the coast
too, and many of the British
scouts went to France and helped
as much as they could, until they
were old enough to join the army.
They were under the charge of
Scout master and were under dis
cipline, just as the soldiers were.
There was one night when a
great explosion was heard in the
harbor just at the mouth of the
River Thames. People never
knew until after the war was over
that a submarine had been in the
river trying to get to London, and
had been sunk by one of the great
guns in the harbor.
So they were many times when
the English children got very close
to the war, even if they were not
right in it, as the French and Bel
gian children were. They like to
tell you about it, for they are proud
of seeing a little of what their big
brothers and fathers saw for four
long years.

ior Palladium readers by Mary

Palladium, but now in England.

INDiANA'S JUNIOR
CORN CHAMPION

Preston Moody, 10 years old, of
Fremont, Ind, is declared by Pur-
due university the junior corn
champion of Indiana. He produced
1913 bushels of corn on one acre
of ground, establishing a new rec
ord in Indiana corn production.
About 1000 boys and girls entered
the contest and 600 completed it.
Moody's production was made pos.
sible by enriching the soil and
planting seeds thickly. His ambi-
ton is to enter Purdue university
after he finishes high school and he
has undertaken corn growing to
raise money for this purpose.
