Mrs. Mary A. Huffman

Mary A, Brown, daughter of Will
liam and Sarah A. Brown, was born
Nov. 25, 1847, and was called home
Oct. Z, 1921, aged 73 years, 10
months and IL days. In December,
1873, she was united in marriage to
John Huffman, returned Civil war
veteran, who preceded her in death
on June 26, 1909. To this union
were born two children, w. A., and
Addie, both now living at the home
farm, and with Temple and John
left now at the old home place to
think with fond memories of
mothers devotion to their every in
terest and of the many deeds or
kindness and love she was ever
ready to show to them and to those
with whom she associated.
OF family of five children she
was the oldest and the last to be
taken to the spirit land, her father,
three brothers and only sister hav-
ing preceded her in death
Her goodness was again proven in
the last few years of her life by her
giving her aged mother every care
and attention of which she was ca
pable and one of her regrets at 60
ing seemed to be that she must
leave her mother to the care of
others.
The children have lost their best
friend, the community a neighbor
who was ever ready to lend help
ing hand, but as we sorrow today we
would not forget that.
the sun is shining,
Somewhere the song birds dwell;
Hush then thy sad repining,
God lives and all is well.

"A Timely Suggestion

This is the season of the year
when the prudent and careful house
wife replenishes her supply ofCham-
berlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is al
most certain to be needed before the
winter is over and the results are
much more prompt and satisfac-
tory when it is kept at hand and
given as soon as the first indication
OF cold appears and before it has
become settled in the system. There
Is no danger in giving it to ehildrea
as it contains no opium or ether
harmful drug. Sold Everywhere.

While we weep over your
going from us, yet we realize
that now one of your last wishes
has come, for many, many times dur
ing the latter part of your life we
have heard you say, II want to go
home, / want to go home," and SO
often has your trembling voice sung
the words of that beautiful song, so
dear:
We are going home no more to roam,
No more to sin and sorrow;
No more to wear the brow of care,
We're going home tomorrow.

How to Gauge Age of Cattle

It's harder to tell the ages of cat
tie than horses, say animal husband
men of the Ohio State University,
but horns and teeth often give ac-
curate indication.
On the horns, count the annual
rings" and add two. In the mouth,
one pair of permanent teeth, upper
and lower, indicates 18 months of
age; two pairs. 27 months; three
pairs, SO months; and four pairs.
As months. 1t will be noted that
each pair of permanent teeth comes
nine months after the other.

every tenant requested a trial by Jury. Such request automatically postponed the case till November and gave the tenant time to hunt for an ether home. The present apartment shortage is hard on the tenant. But at that about all the landlord gets today in New York is a hard look and the chance to pay for repairs and a janitor.
 An apartment, moreover, is only a place in which to be robbed Espe- cially if 1t is an apartment in the Central Park section. Fifty rob berries in four blocks since January is again recorded. In one case re- gently the burglars rode up in the elevator calmly jimmied the apart ment door and helped themselves to s3.000 worth of jewelry.

But the two thugs who picked on Miss Marjorie Leroux and her es- cort reckoned without the young ladys ability to scream, the proxim- ity of a policeman and the staying powers of two other officers who played tag and fired revolvers for five blocks. It was brave of Miss Leroux to scream even when the bandits threatened her with death if

 The Planets
 None Of the planets are shown on the map. Jupiter and Saturn are vis- ible. low in the west early in the evening. Uranus invisible to the naked eye is in Aquarius. It is all evening star after August S1. On August 3 the earth passes through the plane of the rings through the earth's orbit The earth passed through the plane of the rings No vember 5, 1920, and February 22 1921. From August the rings will begin to open. They will open wider and wider for seven years and then begin closing. It will be l5 years or half of the period of Saturn's revolu- tion about the sun before they will be seen on edge again. Saturn is now too low in the sky for satisfac- tory observation. When 1t is seen again in the early evening mex: spring the rings will be opened enough to show their real character.

DISASTER AHEAD. FOR JAPAN WHEN
 CONFERENCE MEETS.
Sees Herself About to Be Shunted Out of the First Rank of World
 Powers

 Washington, July 30.-(Special.) Japan sees herself in the Wash ington conlel ence national dis aster. This is not reportorial phrase, but the words of profound Japanese statesmen. The statement explains at once the reluctance of Japan to accept an invitation to the conference, and she has accepted at last because she could find no way out. Japan sees herself about to be shunted out of the first rank of world powers. Japan sees clearly sthat any step she may take in the future must be subject to approval by two non-oriental powers-Great Britain and the United States. She no longer will be dominant in the east. In short, Japan sees herself relegated to the position she held before the Russo-Japanese war. Racial pride, hurt many times be- fore, is about to suffer it's worst blow.
 The world in general has been somewhat slow to grasp the full DOT

she made an outcry. But who wouldn't yell at having S1.500 ir dia- monds yanked from ones fingers?
 Hold-ups this week have ranged from an attempt on a small delica- tessen store to the $500 robbery at Ebbets field. A girl with a carving knife scared the delicatessen intrud- CT. but not the presence of 1000 ringside fans. waiting to buy tick cts to the fight, nor the proximity of 30,000 others already inside the arena frightened the three men who put out the Ebbets field lights, smashed the ticket window and departed un- harmed.
 It is small comfort, by the bye, to learn that whoever took snappers off the Carpentier Dempsey fight broke some interstate commerce law and is liable to a fine of $1,000 and two years Imprisonment, Of the 1000 women present at the fight it is es-. timated that 5000 had cameras.
