Isabelle Sites was born In Ham
ilton county, Ohio. near Cincinnati
! March 8, 1851. She left Ohio at the
age Of three years with her parents
and came to Jefferson County, In
diana. Nine years later her parents
moved to Clay county. ILL.,, here she
! resided until her marriage to Mr..
Orange Annis. To that union were
, born five children, Minnie B., Clara
: May, Ida L., and of which two died
, in infancy In 1899 Edward G. be-
came a member Of the home by adop-
ton, the same year Clara May de-
parted this life.
Brother Annis with his family
moved to Dickinson county, Kansas,
near WOOdbine, In the spring of 1877
and has made. that their home ever
since.
Sister Annis united with the Meth
odist Episcopal church In WOOdbine
In the fall of 1899 but had learned
to love the Lord In the pardon OF
her sin much earlier than that
time.
Her life speaks far more than pen
or tongue to all those who knew her
of her consistent, faithful and de-
voted efforts for good. For the last
few years the frailty Of her body,
was a hindrance to her attending the
church service as much as she liked,
but she was for God and the right.
She had been weakening physical
ly for some time. but bore her afflic-
ton up until the very last with in
during patience. About the noon
hour Sept. 3. 1920 the Angel of God
came down and whispered Come
home" and she went. She was
ready to go. she was willing to go.
for often times she wished that she
might go and be with Jeus. She
leaves to mourn her departure. her
husband. two daughters, Minnie h.
Keller of Woodbine, Ida I. at home,
one son Edward G. at home. five sis
ters. Jennie Taylor Of Chapman,
Kansas. Rosetta Middleton of Wood
bine, Clara Wright Of Oclair, Wis
consin, Cecilia Nichols of WOodbine,
Emily Teel OF Ronfre. Okla, two
grandchildren James and Nina Keller
and a host of relatives and friends.
Those who knew Sister Annis loved
her, but our loss is her gain. May
the Lord bless these who mourn and
give us all an understanding.
The old home will be vacant now
OF the one we all dearly love
But God and all Of his Angels Will
bow
With welcome to that home above.

LITERARY DIGEST PRESIDENTIAL POLL AS CON-
PARED WITH THE VOTES OF THE PEOPLE

Hoover supporters trying to get consolation out of
the that the Literary Dgess Presidential Poll shows
Hoover few ahead of Johnson Many of the Hoovers
votes however cast for him by democrats under the
belief that he democratic candidate, he having allow
ed that impression prevail for long time by refusing to
declare his party affliaton Of that he has
repudated that party fewer democrats will be found sup
porting him.
The Digest poll however is not reliable guide to
what is going happen election day It's poll being
taken among the called prominent and women of
the country. On election day. however, the common
people will have their inning and the dope Sheet will
surely be badly upset.
The actual thus far found in eastern elections abb
solutely prove that the Digest poll unsafe guide
Montana for instance shows nine votes for Hoover and
three for Johnson three for Hoover AS matter
of fact Johnson carried Montana five to Hoover
For another example take the state of Michigan. The
po shows Wood first with AZ votes johnson second with
81, Hoover third with % and Lowden fourth with 1S
However the election" landslide for Johnson with
Wood second Lowden third and Hoover fourth Again in
Nebraska the poll Wood the lead with johnson
second Actually the election results Just the oppos
e And in the other states where elections have been
held In California the poll does show Johnson ahead
this basis he ought 100 People who enjoy
consulting the oua board for their information future
happenings will probably be interested in reading the dope
sheet put out by the Literary Digest But the people who
really want to know what going to happen can hear the
voice of the people in the state elections which are
taking place They show Johnson and by far in the
lead as the popular choice of the people

(By Judge Phil d. Swing.)

In paid advertisement in las
nights Press purporting to be by H
L. Loud, but written by S. A. Lindauer
secretary of the Los Angeles Hoover
: club. l find particularly vicious ant
unfounded attack upon Senator John
son.
/ am creditably informed by some
of those who are close to Mr.. Lindauei
while he was in the valley that he was
keenly disappointed at the slight re,
sponse he met in "this part of Cali
fornia," which he conceeds 'has al
ways been looked upon as a strong
Johnson stronghold" His disappoint-
ment may explain the bitterness
shown in his article.
Much of the space is taken up with
berating William H. Crocker, republi-
can national committeeman from Cali
fornia, NJ H. DeYoung, Senator
Frank Flint, Oscar Lawler, and some
one hundred. thousand old line repub-
licans who refused to follow the lead
of the Los Angeles Times into a cam
paign of hate, but who believe the
present occasion was too important to
the entire West to allow personal feel
ing or factional strife to prevent Cali
fornia from naming the next presi-
dent The motto everywhere except
with a few disgruntled politicians in
Los Angeles. is to Make it unanimous
! for Johnson"
In his desperation d Lindauer throws
argument to the winds and descends
to vilification, characterizing Johnson's
supporters as pro-German, Sim Fem
ers and Hearstites. That Mr.. Lin
dauer is stranger to the intelligence
and high-standing of our citizenship
probably accounts for his mistake in
supposing he could win votes here by
merely calling names.
SCORES TIMES
However, when it comes down tpI
having to make choice between the
support of the Los Angeles Times and
the Examiner, don't know that Mr.
Hoover has so much on Senator john
son after all. The Times has never
supported a sutt, ssful candidate IN 20
years. 1t is always W. ong.
Furthermore, the "Times' outfit
which owns some 100000 acres of land
in Mexico has fought the American
farmers of this valley from start to
finish and is today moving heaven and
earth to maintain their stranglehold
on our water supply. These very Mex
lean interests are entitled to the cre>'lt |
for defeating the hope of the valley /
for relief in Washington, D. c. More
than this. to Harry Chandler, owner
and editor of the Times belongs the
credit for persuading the Federal Land
Bank to withdraw from Imperial VAL
ley. The tremendous sensation Great
ed by the publication of the Joyce
Iobdell letters last fall has not yet |
been forgotten. These letters reveal
the fact that Chandler urged President
Joyce of the Federal Land bank to
deny Imperial farmers the advantages
of government loans at low interest,
characterizing our farmers as Soon
tentious, quarrelsome and unreason-

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

Industrial development in the United States will require
tremendous quantities of structural lumber The
lated demand for lumber is increasing while production
decreasing.
In 1908 the country at large cut $4,000 100000 feet
the in 1907 in 1916 the production dropped TO 4O
0O000000O; in 1917 to 100000 feet and in 1913 to
$4,000, 100000.
The production of forest products probably will
increase beyond its present proportions for the simple
that the lumber producing districts exhausting
their supply The forests of the northwest and California
contain the last great available supply of timber and in the
future the country will to the Pacific coast for its
lumber
The demand for lumber is increasing faster than produc
on take of it and instead of cheaper lumber
prices takes great stretch of the imagination to
considerable higher prices years hence and would
be safe predicting what the price will be 10 years from
