John Wigyen Passes Away.

After being afflicted about
three years with cancer OF the
stomach Mr.. John Wiggen passed
away at |. ?. NJ, April 18th. IN
st. Mary's hospital, Superior,
where he had been the past
three months. 1t was not until
the Friday before he died that
he was confined to the bed con-
stantlv. Previous to that he
would sit up part of the time.

when he would 90 through the
operation they promised tc per
form when he first entered the
hospital. Most patients with
this Illness would have renamed

| but Mr.. Wiggen's determination
to get better was uppermost IN
his mind and as his physician
promised to operate on him a
soon as he had attained sufficient
strength to undergo the opera
ton he considered it necessary
to be up and around daily to
gain the desired strength, AMI it
was not until six days before he
died that he discovered his dis
ease had the best of him. for
while walking around he fell in
| the hallway striking his head
and breast against the wall and
floor. He was carried to his
room and attempted to get up
once more, but from that time
on he failed fast. The result of
: the fall did not hasten his death
as the bruises were slight.

LIGHT STIMULATES WINTER
EGG YIELD

1t is not uncommon nowadays
to see the farm home up-to-date
and modern in every way
equal to any Of the city homes.
This is as it should be. Electric
lights are possible in the farm
home now owing to the fact
that farm electric plants can be
installed at a very reasonable
cost and the modern lighting
plant is indeed an added feature
that lends untold advantage to
farm life, as we'll as many adj
yantages in useful and practl-
cal way. For instance. on the
farm where commercial egg pro-
duction is carried on, the farm
electric light plant affords the
advantage Of lights in the poul-
try house during the winter sea
son, when the days are so short
here in the northwest, thereby
transforming a short winter day
into summer conditions so far as
length is concerned. BY so do
ing the winter egg yield can be
increased. In other words
flocks can be persuaded to pro
duce their maximum yield dur
ing the winter months, when
prices are high.
Fewer Summer Eggs.
If the hens are forced a little
harder for the production during
the winter months and with
added production as a result
they fall off on their usual sum
mer yield to a point that balan
ces their yearly production. Blu
the winter egg is the high priced
egg,
Quoting from one poultry

METHODIST CHURCH

We are now in the second week of
our evangelistic effort. The past
week has been a good one, and this
promises to see larger results. With
few exceptions the services have been
well attended. The crowds have en-
jeyed greatly the solos by Mrs. Nc
Michael and her splendid leadership
in music. Her afternoon addresses
have been timely as well as interest
ing, and will doubtless be productive
of much good to the community. The
songs and prayers and gospel mess
age each night have already born
lruit. New visions OF the real mean
ing of life have come to some during
these days. Some have sought and
found the pardoning love of our
Saviour. while many have a richer
Christian experience and d frmer
grip on the fundamental truths of the
Christian life. For all of which we
give Thanks" to God. 1t is quite
probable that these services will
close this Sunday evening.
The services for the remainder of
the week are: Friday 400 p. M, Mrs.
