Obituary-Mrs. Mary Carroll


Mary Grille was born In Roches-
ter. N. Y, Feb. 4, 1888. There she
lived until she was 10 years OF age
and then came with her parents to
tockport, I'll. While she was there
she married James Carroll, and to
them ten children were born. Two
of these died in infancy, while six OF
them were with their mother at her
death. Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll with
their children came to Kansas In
1870. and here Mr.. Carroll died In
1890. For the last 20 years Mrs.
Carroll has had the tender care Of the
Carroll sisters at whose home she
passed away. Not many children
have had a more devoted mother
and not many mothers have had
more thoughtful and loving children.
The mother and children were very
devoted to each other.
Mrs. Carroll has been a member
of the Methodist church since 1890
and as long as her health permitted
she was regular in her attendance.
She has now gone to join the church
triumphant, and shall be awaiting
her children as one by one they shall
cross the river. .
Mrs. Carroll was very charitable
towards the poor, very helpful In
case Of sickness, kind towards all,
and patient in hours Of affliction.

FORD POLICIES
APPLIED TO MINES
Miners Benefited as They Become
Ford EmplOyes

The miners at work in Henry
Ford's recently acquired coal mines
in Kentucky have been accorded the
beenfits now received by all Ford
men throughout the organization.
They welcomed the news that
Ford had purchased the mines, but
high as their hopes had been, they
were unable to understand why the
first Ford representative to visit the
mines should be member OF the
industrial relations" department
come to look over working and liv-
ing conditions, instead of a pro
duction" man. These straight-for-
ward men of the mountains were I'M
used to such procedure.
First of all, their pay was raised,
the minimum going from SAP to
5000 for an eight hour day, and next
they learned that they are to receive
the annual Ford bonus and the privi-
lege Of investing in Ford Investment
Certificates. They had anticipated
that much, but their expectations
were surpassed when they found
they were given the opportunity to
buy food and clothing at cost, that
community house where entertain
ments and motion picture shows may
be held is to be erected, that they
are to have a school where their chill
dren may be educated, and saw
shower baths and lockers being built
at the mines so that they will soon
be able to go to their homes clean.
Frequent "lay-offs" is another
hardship to which these miners have
been subjected. The chief cause for
this has been a lack Of coal cars.
But Henry Ford has always endeav-
ored to give his men steady employ
ment, and this policy viii be carried
TO the mines. The men have been
working "full time" for the last
month.
The present capacity Of the Ford
mines-which are known as the
Banner Fork Coal Corporations
forty-two carloads daily. d&wlt

IS QUITTING sALINA


State Defense League u. to be Or
ganixed In Kansas
The Dickinson County Defens'
League will be organized immediate
iy and will have full county organ
ization, with a representative In
every precinct. The Legion men are
eager to get to work and want ia
make the job they started thorough
TOwnley will leave Salina today
for North Dakota or somewhere "up
north" the salina papers report. His
meeting was failure so far as get
ting money out Of the farmers was
concerned.
The Abilene folks who went to
Salina were disappointed in his per-
sonality. He has been pictured as
whirlwind Of power. Instead, he Is
a spare, tall, somewhat stopped,
brown haired man with a wistful
face. He wears for effect a shiny
blue serge suit, rundown collar with
string tie and shoes that have not
seen a backing brush In weeks. Act
ually he is rich, all made out OF the
N. p. L., having shuffled on his
losses when he tried to farm or do
business by taking bankruptcy treat
ment. His family lives in great lux
ury in Minneapolis, MINI. As a
speaker he is not impressive-all his
lieutenants out-talked him. He is the
type Of agitator that drifts into
town once in a while and gives a
"lecture" on some weird religion or
talks from city street corners on rad
icalism. He may fool North Dakota
but he is in Kansas simply a sample
Of the long line Of selfish, shrewd
radical agitators with which the state
has had experience for forty years.
He rules his paid workers with rod
of iron, they must deliver the money
or get out. In the testimony In the
failure of the store plan Of North
Dakota one farmer swore when $780,
900 had been given TOwnley for
store and 1t only cost $4,000, he
asked what was to become of the
other $4,000 and Townley replied:
'It's none of your--business."
That is his style. He frankly says
he is a Socialist
The Salina Union says: "The fox
that has recently been chased out
of North Dakota and which has been
trying to put red herring between
his trail and the people, met the
Kansas bull day yesterday and lost
as usual Townley met his Waterloo
in Salina yesterday. 1t was the last
stand of this discredited leader and
was really pitiful. Instead OF ten
thousand his paid followers boosted
would be here, there were not to ex-
,eed five hundred farmers. Conven-
ton Hall holds fourteen hundred
people and certainly more than two
thirds Of them were town people. At
night there were practically no
farmers. The American Legion,
thank God for that organization, met
The challenge of Townley, crossed
swords with him and he is van
guished and another scourge is pass
ed. Townley has no teeth any
more"
