Our town and community was
saddened Saturday when the
news Of the death of Mrs. w. II.
Turcott was received. Mrs. Tur-
colt had been in a critical condi-
ton for many months, and it was
known to those near and dear to
her that her days were short, but
even with this knowledge the part
ing hour was a severe shock to
her family and friends. Mrs. Tur-
colt was born July II, 1853, and
was therefore 81 years of age.
She was married to Mr.. w. H.
Turcott about '25 years ago, and
to this union there was born one
child, Harris Turcott, now near
ly grown. She united with the
Methodist church when 16 years
of age, and lived the life of a con-
sistent christian, being devout in
all of her religious duties. Truly,
she was good woman, and WILDE

The friends of Miss Dorothy

remembers him each year with a
subscription to the Brandon

w. G. Barnes has the sympathy
of his many friends in his present
physical condition. He has been
suffering from rheumatism for
several weeks, and now the dis

soon in Brandon for that purpose.
If there ever was a time when the
farmers needed to be organized
now is the time. Much good can
be accomplished through this or

not hesitate to lend their help and
cooperation in getting the move

# You really want to know man look
him M some day when he has nothing
to do-and then watch him closely and
find out what he does.
That is the advice OF philosopher who has
made close study of human nature during
the greater part OF an already long life IT
may sound strange, even paradoxical, at
first but the more you look at It the more
sensible II seems.
The world may know a man as a great
hnancier-a man whom everybody pictures
to himself as always thinking in figures
whose brain is continually cluttered up with
information about stocks and bonds and
loans, and bank balances. Now this same
Mr.. Moneybags may not be a inancier at
heart at all. He may be a geologist.
1t is surprising to learn how many men in
public life have these more or less secret
hobbies-but that is scarcely the right word
to describe them. They are more serious
than hobbies. Their regular ostensibe bust
ness or profession is their vocation The
other Is their avocation-"that which calls
one away from ones regular employment" as
the dictionary puts it,
Washington is full of prominent men in
this category. They are in the Cabinet in
Congress, and in all of the Government
departments. You never can tell what they
are thinking about by what they are doing.

q ECRETARY of the Navy DENLY is
another man with a serious hobby.
Long before he ever thought of be-
coming Secretary of the Navy and long be-
fore he enlisted as a private of marines in the
world war-even long before he served in the
House of Representatives as member of the
Naval Affairs Committee-he was fond Of
naval affairs. But running the navy is after
all a side line with Mr.. DENLY. He has
passion for helping his fellow men. That
represents his philosophy in life While a
resident Of Detroit he served probation
officer The children with whom he had to
deal awakened an interest In him then which
has never left him, and has not been lessened
by the fact that he has two children Of his
own, a boy of 3 years and girl of s.
