AS a result of trip to Van Vert,
Frank I. Jones, Of OsceOla, who hac
been appointed administrator of the
estate of Joe A. Girthoffer, who took
his own life in Des Moines last week,
a will was found among papers fill
ed by the deceased in the Van Vert
Bank. Besides the papers some
twelve or fifteen hundred dollars was
found deposited to his credit there.
The will was made in Leon,
August 5, 1916. 1t provides, first
that all debts and funeral expenses
be paid and that each of his brothers
and sisters be given one dollar and
that the balance of his property both
personal and real be given to his
sister-in-law, Mrs. R. H. Girthoffer
of Omaha, who is made executrix.
1t is presumed that there are pos
sibly some money to the credit of
the dead man in a bank in Des
Moines and in Boone though this is
not certain. Joe Girthoffer did not
say much about his business and
since he was never married his prop
erty might have been distributed
among his brothers and sisters, but
for the will which is we'll drawn and
it will probably meet the require
ment of the law.-Osceola Sentinel

DOUBT SUICIDE THEORY.
May DO Some Investigating Over j.
"A, GirthOffer's Sudden Death.

The relatives of ]. A. Girthhoffer.
whose remains were buried here last
week, who was found dead in a Des
Moines hotel and reported as a sui
eide case. are not just positiye OF
some Investigating will be done by
them before the case is dropped.
Things have developed that makes
them doubt the idea and one Of them
is that the bullet that took his life
entered the head back of the ear,
and it is reported no powder marks
or burns were found near the wound.
When the body was discovered the
pockets of his garments were empty
of money or about so and Mr.. Grit
hotter was citizen who generally
carried pretty full purse.-Osceola

KEPT TRENCH SHOVEL
Engineer After Viewing Battlefield
Makes Interesting Commentary
Gould Find Everything
But One Trophy He
Wanted.

An eminent engineer recently re-
turned to Washington after traversing
on government business much of the
western front. He went over the bat
tie area before the army salvage corps
had removed the signs of conflict
Il saw pretty nearly everything
there" he said. Lots Of rifles, bayo-
nets. machine guns, helmets, soldiers
packs, water bottles, and even hand
kerchiefs and socks all over the
ground.
Il didn't want any Of them. Be-
cause I'm an engineer, I'd set my
heart on a trench shovel I'd seen
thousands Of them back Of the lines,
but wanted one from the battlefield.
i looked and looked, without finding
one lying around loose. Wherever
there was a shovel, the man who'd
used it was lying beside it.
"Then l understood. The soldier,
dislodged from a position, might loose
his pack, his extra clothing, even his
rife, in his escape, but he never let
81 his shovel.
"He knew he had to have it, to dig
himself in again"
War Savings Stamps are trench
shoyels for digging in against adver-
s,ty.

CARRY ON!

Uncle Sam is releasing from his
service the men who went "over
there" to free the world from au-
tocracy. Thousands of soldiers are
daily receiving their honorable dis
charges; they pocket their pay, bid
farewell to their comrades and sal
ly forth-civilians
There is one army, however,
which must not be deraobilized.
That is the army of War Savings
Stamps buyers. More recruits are
needed to carry on the campaign of

this cost more than $2O.00O,000,
Beside this enormous amount Of

CAN CHOP 0VEREEAD

We Joined with glee to celebrate
the birthday anniversary Of Wash
ington, who, when a boy, chopped
down his fathers cherry tree, and
later, though but still a youth, sur
yeyed the trackless forest waste,
and always practiced simple truth
in every project he embraced. Then
when the Revolution broke out
George stepped bravely to the fore
and threw aside our foreign yoke,
and saw US safely through the war.
No aGjectival flourish here could
tell in full hi5 epic life, but this we
know and hold it dear, he won our
nations primal strife; he fought,
ne built, he sagely taught, he loved
this land Of liberty, and what his
sacrifice then bought is handed on
to you and me. To him we owe I'M
lying debt, to keep cur nations
honor bright and emulate him so
that yet we travel holding Free
lom's light; We cannot all chop
cherry bark, but we can chop the
overhead" and, cutting out some
costly lark, buy W. s. S. instead.
