CHRISTIAN CHURCH

UllillUIlHu UliUllUlI
Regular services at the Chris
tian church next Sunday morning
and evening. The sermon topic
for the morning will be "More
Than Conquerors." The evening
topic will be "Vital Forces Of To-
day." Cheer up, look happy,
and be on hand next Sunday.
These are great days for church
services. Much better than when
the thermometer registers twenty
i've below, and the snow is two
feet deep, and you cannot leave
home because the children all have
colds, and the coal strike is on, and
the automobile radiator is frozen,
and the roads are rough and other
things too numerous to mention.
Think back a few months when
you had to wear about all the
clothes you had to keep warm, and
you felt like saying something
naughty to the weather man for
his continual "no relief from the
cold," and then tell your neighbor
how fine it is to be able TO 90
around in your shirt sleeves and
enjoy yourself. Remember that
it is not nearly so dusty, and dirty,
and disagreeable at church SER
vice as it is hiking around over the
country in the wake of some Cad
lllac's dust or the flare of some
Spear Arrows headlight, with
bitches on both sides of the track
and death staring you in the face
at any minute. The traffic law Of
life is Keep to the Right" This
much by way Of a reminder that
this weather is not half bad, but
that you may get yourself to think
ing so if you are not careful. Re-
member, the Lords business is
just as important as the automo-
bile business and not nearly so
dangerous.
The Aid Society will meet with
Mrs. Dick simpkins on Friday af-
'ternoon Of this week for a good
social time.
The superintendent of our Cra-
die Roll department reports forty
enrolled to date. That is great,
and speaks much for the efficient.
work being done by those in
charge. Hereis is a chance to give
your flowers to the living by speak
ing word of commendation to
Mrs. George Hunt and her helpers.
Il
The choir met on Tuesday even
ing at the home of Mr.. Hans Nell
son for social time together. The
occasion of the gathering was to
show bit Of appreciation to one
of the choir members who is Short
ly leaving US for time, but who
insists that her name must not be
mentioned in this connection. So
if you want to know who the guest
OF honor was you will have to go
into Mr.. Small's store and ask. him
who it is that has been trimming
your hats and assisting you at the
counters.

WIFE OF BRAYTON
DRUGGIST DIES
limo Bisom--Miller Fails to
Rally from Effects of
Critical Operation

0AAOAN0A OPNA1VAV
limo Bisom-Miller first child of
the late Charles L. Bison and wife,
of Brayton, Iowa, was born in Au-
dubon, Iowa, September 2lst,
1888. She was a resident Of Bray
ton, practically all her life, passing
here her childhood, young woman
hood and most Of her married life.
She received her education from
the village schools, Oakfeld Acad-
emy, finishing with a normal
course at Harlan, Iowa, after
which she taught school for a year.
Her marriage to Raymond Mil
ler occurred February Goth, 1907
-Four children, Lucille, Cozette,
Charles and Arthur, aged II, 9, Z
and 2, respectively, completed a
family circle very closely approach
ing the ideal.
AS a wife and mother, she was
patient, loving, sympathetic and
maternal. She was a prominent
member of the Rebekahs, Royal
Neighbors, Red Cross and the Wo-
mems Auxiliary to the American
Legion. Her versatility made her
socially prominent and she was ac-
lively interested in every enterprise
for community development and
social welfare. 1t would be hard
to find in the community one more
genuinely useful or one more gen
orally well-beloved. She was a
member of no church and yet there
are none who would question her
christian character. The sterling
qualities which have shown in her
life emanate only from the in
dwelling presence Of the Most
High.
Her last illness was but a week
and all that human ingenuity could
do to save her life was done, but
to no avail, and when the curtains
of the Eternal City were drawn
aside, she passed through with a
smile upon her lips and a word Of
happy greeting to those who well
coined her from the other side.
Her life closed at 1850 Sunday
morning, the 10Th. Her age was
80 years, 8 months and % days.
Surviving are her husband, Ray
mond Miller, and her four children,
Mrs. G. L. Bison, Of Brayton; sis
tiers, Mrs. Edna Hansen and Mrs.
Ethel Brown, Of Brayton; and
Charles H. Bison, also Of Brayton.
She is preceded in death by an in
fant brother and her father,
Funeral services were conducted
from the Baptist church Of Bray
ton, Rev. Henry of the Community
Church Of Extra, officiating, and
interment was in the Oakfield
cemetery.
We wish to extend our heartfelt
thanks to our friends who came to
our assistance during the illness OF
our dear wife and mother; also for
the beautiful floral offerings.

Just Helped Themselves


A party of Shriners homeward

Walter Potts and family who
have made their home at Extra for
the past year, are now at home at
their farm west of town. The
family is planning an automobile
trip to Tennessee in the near flu

mounted on their truck and they
take their home right with them
when they go travelling. Last
summer the Potts family made a

400, 900 Barrels Oil Burn
when Lightning Strikes

Ed Bartlett and Mrs. MILESTONE,
former residents Of Extra, who live
at Casper, Wyoming, send partlcu-
lars Of a disastrous fire at the Mid
west tank farm there, caused by
lightning which struck one Of the
tanks. /.
Almost instantly the tops of the
tanks containing 100000 barrels Of
Oil went skyward and the tanks
were in flames, the fire leapfng
three hundred feet in the air which
could be seen twenty-five to forty
miles.
Although the rain came down in
torrents, the flames did not slacken
in intensity and twelve hours later,
at the time of the report, it was
still burning as furiously as ever.
More than seventeen hundred
men were fighting it, continuing
all night, and more than four
thousand sandwiches were handed
out to them as they worked.
Fear was felt that other tanks
might take fire from the heat and
streams of foamite were kept
spraying on those near. Dikes
were dug around the burning tanks
to prevent the spreading Of oil.
Although there is some insur-
ance, the Midwest Refining Com
pany will lose heavily.
