She was 5he recipient of q shower of cards, three birthday cakes, and many calls and gifts from schoolmates and friends.
 In Memoriam
 Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beeman, of Sharon, are mourning the loss of their eldest daughter, Helen, whose death occurred October 11th. She was stricken few months since with an obscure ailment, and although skilled specialists were in attendance, no benefit was derived from their minstratons, and an operation was resorted to as the only hope of pro- longing the precious life. The en- trance of the death angel into our homes is always fraught with un- speakable sadness, but far keener is the anguish when the life of the dear one goes out under the hand of the surgeon. Helen's sufferings had so weakened her frame that she never regained consciousness after the operation. She was married three years ago to Jack Bache, who served two years in the World War. The funeral took place at the home of her parents in Sharon, the loved form resting in a white broadcloth covered casket, robed in her bridal gown of white satin, with flowers everywhere breathing out their sad sweet fragrance, mutely attesting to the love and devotion of relatives and friends. She is survived by her husband, her parents, sister and one brother, who was married in August to Miss Hazel E. VanWag- ner, eldest daughter of MT. and Mrs. E. R. VanWagner of Nethcrwood, N. Y. - Lay her down gently to slulnber and
 rest,
 Why she grew weary so soon God
 knows best;
 Plying stars from your far homes of
 light, sM
 Shine soft and tender on her grave
 tonight.
 Kisses of husband and parents have
 lain, On the cold lips sealed to earth's joy
 and pain, - Now in the pearl-gated City above She rests on the bosom of Infinite
 Love.

There is a reason for this, and that is that some of the boys are showing their fathers that careful selection and feeding will win out ever slipshod or poorly planned methods.
 A notable example of this Is the case of William Stuart, the fourteen year-old son of Dan H. Stuart of Weiser, Idaho. This boy has been in pig-club work for two years. He SC lected for himself early last season a
