Rachael had got out of the car, and
now h gave Billy's hoy her hand.
and stood ready to help him down.

Aunt Rachael a kiss?"
Billy said nothing AS the child en-
hraccd his new-found relative heart
iily, nor when Rachael took her up
stairs to show her tho third ham
mock between the other two, and her
self invested the visitor in blue over
alls and a. wide hat. But late that
evening. after a silence, she said sud
denly: d.
You're more charming than ever.
Rachael; you're one Of the sweetest
women I e saw!'
Thank you'll Rachael said with a
little note OF real pleasure under her
laugh.

such a nice way with children. but I

STRENGTH.

. STRENGTH. l4t \
A little rnirth, a little care, at
A burden now and then tosbear,
A passing smile, a. 1eeting' tear,
These mark the days of every year.
And life is good or life is bad
According to the faith we've had.
Blue skies and sunshine come and go.
The cherries winds of winter blow
Across the path Of life. and then
The. sprinstime blossoms bud again.
And all must carry sorrows cross.
For who would gain must suffer loss.
Life rests US that we may endure:
There is no door that is secure @-
Against despair and hurt and woe,
All these the richest man must know.
And at the last his worth is known
According to the strength he's shown,
Nor gold nor fame can keep away
The tempest when the clouds grow
gray,
All that can live INTO the last
Are memories Of the happier past;
Thus life is good or life is bad,
According to the faith we've had,

AS USUAL, the United States comes
in too late to get the best plums in the
foreign market. Russia is, through
the port of Reval, opening up its mar
kets for English, German and Swedish
goods. They are getting the big or
ders for locomotives and other rail
equipment that Russia needs, and they
are receiving also the millions and mil
lions of Russian gold that now is paid
for the foreign manufactured goods.
Our merchants are, perhaps, pleased to
know that Russia's neighbors are do
ing fiourishing and paying business
with the soviet republic; they need the
business, undoubtedly, and need it
badly, worse than the American mer-
chants; but, is it not trife aggravat-
ing that we are not there to at least
show our goods? Russian gold seems
to be good enough in England, Ger
many and Sweden, in spite of the fact
that it is soviet gold.

Obituary
John Murwin Kizer

Another of the early settlers of
Edgerton was gathered to his fathers
Tuesday afternoon at about 1:S0
o'clock, when John Kizer, ninety
years of age passed away at his
home on West Fulton Street.
Mr.. Kizer was the youngest of a
family of ten children born to Mr..
Christian Kizer, and Christian Muir
win Kizer in Wilkesbarre, Pa. on
November 10, 1880. He spent his
boyhood and young manhood there,
receiving good schooling in the
public schools of the quaker state,
and improving his opportunities by
application to his school tasks, so
that when he finished school, he was
considered very we'll educated for
boys of his time. Making direct use
of his training he entered the pro-
fession as public school teacher, and
served in several schools in Pennsyl-
vania during the following several
years.

MORE than two-thirds of all the
things necessary to life, to operation
of American industries and other bust
ness is produced in the Mississippi val
ley. Transportation facilities, includ-
ing an adequate waterways system, for
the cheapest possible handling of the
goods produced and consumed in the
valley, are one of the greatest economic
needs of the country. The present sys-
tenn of handling the traffic is blocking
the trade, upsetting the just price
level, retarding consumption, causing
loss all along the ne and furnishing
motives for unnecessary discomfort and
material for the social unrest fast in
creasing all the way from the farm to
the urban centers of population.

LII IOCO IlC CdlliC W Lug dIIO
became a farmer, living in the pres
ent Mooney residence on South Main
Street, and farming a farm of about
200 acres, a tract of land which in
those days extended to what is now
Lord Street. Here he remained for
many years. building the founda-
tions Of modest fortune, and gain
ing the respect and confidence of.
his neighbors in this growing COM
munity. He helped build the Shearer
residence on South Main, and it was
in that residence that he in 1870
married Miss Alice Hutson, who has
been his faithful wife, and constant
companion and helper ever since.
For a short time in 1873 he again
answered the call to the ranks of
teacher, and undertook to carry out
the work in the Sheepskin District,
a school which at that time was not
ed for the big rough boys of gen
Grafton or two ago. But Mr.. Kizer
was equal to the task, and in re-
cent visit from one of his old pupils
of those days, the aged teacher, and
his pupil, now man of many years
himself, enjoyed many a hearty
laugh at the antics of the boys of
that school, and the methods Mr..
Kizer followed to subdue them, and
bring them to realize the Importance
of study and education.
In 1876 the family moved to Milton
Mr.. Kizer was then in the employ of
the C. M. & st. P. Ry., a position
which he held for about two years.
He then returned to Edgerton and
since that time has lived in the pres
ent Kizer residence. He has ever
since that time been engaged in the
warehouses of this city, until the in
firmities of age required him to re-
tire.
At the time VIM Bentley was the
mayor of this city, Mr.. Kizer served
two terms on the city council. He
was one of the leaders in the move
ment to build city hall and organ
ize a fire company in the city, and
thru his efforts mainly a engine was
secured, and the storage ciste1n es-
tablished for the protection of the
property against fire.
Early in life he became interested
in Masonry, and last June had been
member of that body for 81 years.
He worked himself up thru the of
fices of the order, serving as Master
for two or more terms, and becoming
known as one of the best posted ma
sons in southern Wisconsin. He was
also a member of the Royal Arch
Masons, but in those times there was
no lodge nearer than GAINESVILLE, so
he drove to the county seat to attend
the meetings of the order, and took
active interest in that as well as the
lodge of this city.
In January 1920 Mr.. and Mrs.
Kizer celebrated their 5Oth wedding
anniversary. At that time Mr.. Kizer
was in fairly good health, but feeble.
Since then he gradually failed, and
since last Christmas he has been
confined to his bed. While he has
appeared somewhat stronger at times
his death has been anticipated for
several weeks. But he had an iron
constitution, and comes from long
lived stock, and was able to reach
beyond his nintieth birthday in reas-
enable health.
Four children were born to Mr..

1T is gratifying to the citizens of
Wisconsin to know that both their U.

and Mrs. Kizer. Two died in infancy.
Miss Rose Kizer, and James Frank
lin Kizer remain with the aged
widow to mourn the death of a hus-
band and father who has always
been kind, loving and indulgent.
The funeral will be conducted by
the Masonic Brethren Thursday af-
ternoon, and burial will be given in
Fassett Cemetery.

ANOTHER amendment to the U. S.
constitution is beating into the wind.
This time it is provision for national
referendum on any federal problem
that the voice of the people might set
tie by direct vote; for instance, war or
peace, naturalization of railroads, coal
mines, oil fields and the like. Some
shrewd observers suggest that it might
be used with good effect to change the
eighteenth amendment. Who is back
ing it?
