JOHN HENRY GOODWILL
Father of Mrs. T. B. butcher
of Eagle River, and Who
is Well Known in This
Village.

John Henry Goodwill was born
in the state of Ohio, June 10th,
1916. and died at Hansen. Idaho,
July Z. 1921. Age seventy-five
years seventeen days.
AT the age Of twenty-one he
was married to Martha Metilda
Lamphier in the state of Indiana.
To this union three children were
born; Jennie Armeda, later Mrs.
T. b. butcher; George Monroe,
and John Franklin. The two for
mer live in the state of Wisconsin
and the latter in Hansen, Idaho.
These three children, together
with seven grandchildren live to
mourn the loss of beloved father
and grandfather. Mr.. Goodwills
wife passed to the beyond in the
year 1897.
1T had been the habit with Mr..
Goodwill for years, in the summer
season, usually after supper, to
take a pillow to some convenient
place in the open air and lie down
until bed time. This evening he
retired to a fat hay rack which
was mounted on a low wheel
wagon. Every evidence shows
that he went quietly to the long
sleep, for when he was discovered
sometime after his death there
was no sign of a struggle.
"Mr. Goodwill had lived in Han
sen for about three years, and
during that time he had made a
host of close friends, in fact, if he
had an enemy no one seems to
know it. He was honest, indus
trious, and most desirable citi-
zen. He had been carrying the
mail between the depot and the
postoffice, and worked at his task
until the last.
Appropriate services were held
in the chapel room of the Metho-
dist church at Twin Falls. The
body was then laid to rest in the
Twin Falls cemetery.
Up. N. Manning, pastor of the
church at Hansen, conducted the
services"

MESSAGE FROM SPANISH CHIEF.

In connection with the new interna-
tiona scout magazine representing all
the scouts of the world, the chief scout
Of Spain makes this statement:
ITO create an international Journal
which shall be the expression Of the
common ideals that flourish beneath
the boy scouts flag throughout the
world; and with that journal to CARRY
TO the farthest corners of the earth
the common desire for physical and
moral redemption for which men OF
goodwill In all climes are striving, VIII
be to endow with new strength, with
the winged and powerful strength OF
written thought, this gigantic crusade
of universal brotherhood which already
binds with strong links the youth of
all countries. without distinction OF
race or frontier.
1.-THE boy scouts Of Spain, who are
working for their country and for their
wel-being, follow the inspiration OF
Baden-Powells immortal doctrine,
cannot forget that they are part OF
that enterprise, or that In all nations
they have brothers with the same de-
slres and ideals; and for his reason
they rally with enthusiasm to the
work of their common publication,
which will find In us fervent propa-
g,lndists If 1t serves, as we hope, to
strengthen and encourage the noble
scout aims"

WOULD AID G. A. R. VETERAN
Schuyler (Neb.) Post Endesvorina to
Assist Grand Army Man Who
Has Been Stricken.


The gratitude and loyalty Of mem.
bers Of the American Legion to their
comrades OF the Grand Army of the
Republic Is Illustrated by the Legion
post at Schuyler, Neb., which is en-.
deavoring to obtain aid for Civil war
veteran of that city. who is suffering
from cancer.
"The post Is In need OF advice as
to how we can assist this hero of an
other war" the post commander
writes. "He Is stopping with relatives
who are doing all they can, but since
they have to employ nurse, know
that they cannot continue to care for
him because Of lack Of funds.
"NOw, we would like to have you
take II UP and see II something can't
be done for the old veteran. This Is
worthy case and | believe anything
the Legion can do for the old boys
who wore the blue will be appreciated.
There ARE but few Of them left, and
| think the Legion would do well to
look after them, since no one else will
do So"
