OBITUARY.

Eva Ellen Gordon was born at Mar
tinsburg, Ohio, November ls. 1873,
being az years, 10 months and IL days
old at the time of her death.
At the age of seven years she moved
with her family to Cherry county,
Nebraska, where she grew to woman
hood among the isolated pioneers of
that state.
In 1897 she went with her family to
Ruskin, Tennessee, where she Joined
hands with group of others in an en-
deavor to prove to the world that there
was better way to live Gods creed of
the Brotherhood of Man."
She came to Colorado in the spring
of 1904, whence her family had pre-
ceded her the previous year.
Her life in Colorado was spent princi-
pally as a school misunderstanding in
Lakeview, Cortez and Dolores - and
helping to build up a home in Monte
yuma valley until May 25, 1908, when
she was united in marriage with
j.. Theodore McDill, and after short
period of time moved with her husband
to California. A year later she was
called to Nashville, Tennessee, to take
charge of an orphaned niece. 1t was
here that the first child, Grace Gordon,
was born.
Within a year they were called to
Sparta, Illinois, on account of the death
of MIR. McDill's father and mother.
They remained in Sparta two years
and then removed to Colorado where
they have since resided at their home
at Lake view. where her only son, Cal
ton Clay, was born.
Mrs. McDill's life was spent in an
effort to convince the world of the life
which the Golden Rule" teaches. Her
religion was to live to make the world
better, believing that faith without
works is dead. That the only way to
believe Thy will be done," is to do
with all your might the things YOU
understand how to do. Leaving the
judgment and decision to the Power
that governs the universe.
Mrs. McDill's mother proceeded her
to the great beyond by the short period
of little less than five years. Whittier
two brothers had preceded them, one
in infancy and one in young manhood.
She leaves a father, husband, two
children, one sister and one brother
besides many relatives and friends.

Safety and Happiness Lie in Obed'
ienCe TO Law.

1cH(c ~ LdN.
The following declarations by
Attorney General Daugherty, de-
livered before the American Bar
Association are reported to have
been greeted by that body with "a
thunder of applause:
Those who ask or expect nom
enforcement not only contribute to
lawlessneSs. but destroy the basis
upon which their own security
rests. Our safety and happiness
lie in obedience to law by every
man, woman and child within the
domain OF the republic, and no one
can undermine respect for law
without being, to that extent, an
enemy to law and orderly govern
ment.
"As citizen cannot choose
what laws he will obey, so, like
wise, those charged with law en-
forcement cannot choose what laws
they will enforce. The Only sound
position for those who favor respect
for law to take is that charged
with law enforcem ent must enforce
all the law, and all good citizens
must obey all the laws; neither can
exercise any right of choice in this
matter without placing themselves
above the law.
I'm view of the constitutional
safeguards (protecting the rights
of minorities) there can be no ex-
cuse for any person in this re-
public to hold its laws in contempt,
to disobey them himself or count
enance others in acts of disobed-
ience, on the ground that the
rights of minority have been dis
regarded. 1t is the duty of the
minority, as we'll as the majority,
to obey the law"
That these sentiments of the
Attorney General were an expires
sion Of the convictions of the men,
bers of the American Bar Associa-
tion was shown in a report pre-
sented by the judicial section of
that body, which read as follows:
THE people OF the United States
have undertaken to suppress the
age-old evil of the liquor traffic.
When for the qualification of their
appetites, lawyers, bankers. mer-
chants and manufacturers, and
social leaders, both men and
women, scof at this law or any
other law, they are aiding the
cause of anarchy and promoting
mob violence. They are sowing
dragons teeth, and they need not
be surprised when they find that
no judicial or police authority can
save our country or humanity from
reaping the harvest. Union Sig

but only with the unconstitutionality
of the law under which he was tried.

MUCH GRAIN WASTED BY
cARElESSNESS IN THRAshINc

Hundreds of thousands of bushels of
grain are lost to consumption each
year on American farms because o.
improper adjustment and lack of eff
cheney in the operation of thrashing
machines. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has given con.
siderable attention to this loss with
view to ascertaining how far improv.
ed methods can be economically intro
duced to adjust waste. 1t is true, ex
perts point out, that sometimes thu
time and labor involved in checking a
small loss is worth more than the saw
ing. Nevertheless, there are many
leaks on almost every thrashing job
which might easily be stopped if the
farmer or machine operator would
spend few hours in the study of the
problem and few dollars in replacing
worn and damaged parts.

For frying doughnuts instead of
placeing the doughnuts in the basket
use the bottom of the basket to force
the doughnuts under the surface OF the
fat as soon as they rise to the top.
This use of the basket saves time and
fat, for doughnuts fried under the fat
absorb less grease and can be fried in
shorter time. The basket can also
be used to drain the fat from the
doughnuts after frying.
