CAMP MEETING GOES TO
RANSOM

The session of the 1921 Central
Kansas Holiness camp meeting closed
at the fair grounds Sunday evening.
The attendance this year was very
good especially from out of town.
Those most directly interested have
nothing but words of praise for the
workers and the results from a spir-
itua1 view have been very satisfac-
tory. For the last twenty-five years
or more the Holiness Association has
held and annual camp meeting in
Trego county during the fore part
of August For many years the meet
ings were held in large tabernacle,
owned by the association, four miles
east of Ogallah but that tabernacle
was destroyed by a wind storm a few
years ago and since then the meetings
have been held at the fair grounds
at WaKeeney. For the last year or
SO there has been disposition on the
part of some of the members to try
and take the meetings away from Wa
Keeney and hold them at Ransom.
The claim has been lack of support
from local sources. This effort cul-
minated this year in a vote to accept
the offer of Ransom and the camp
equipment has been taken to Ransom
and the camp is to be held there next
year.
At the close of the meeting a COM
mittee resolutions was appointed
which reported as follows:
Whereas, the Trego County Fair
Association rendered to the Central
Kansas Holiness Association the free
and unlimited use of the Fair ground
buildings for camp meeting purposes,
Whereas, for five years we have
greatly enjoyed the benefits of the
same,
Therefore, be it resolved that we
unanimously, most heartily, express
our sincere thanks to the said assoc
iation.

THE MOORE BROTHERS
FUNERAL

stAnother comrade has closed his
term of service. After work well
done, another soul has earned his
charge He has gone to report to the
grand commander of all" The
thought expressed in these sentences
from the burial ritual of the Amer1-
can Legion was upprmost in the minds
of the hundreds of friends and former
associates and comrades of the Moore
brothers, Eddie and Day as they were
affectionately and farniliarly called,
who assembled in WaKeeney Sunday
afternoon to pay the last tribute OF
respect to the departed heroes of the
World war whose remains had ar
rived two days previous from France
where the young men had lost their
lives in the Argonne forest and where
the bodies had lain in Flanders Field
since their death in September 1913.
The funeral was in charge of Wa
Keeney Lodge A. F. & A. M of which
the brothers were members, having
joined a short time previous to de-
parting for the war, but the bodies
were given both Masonic and military
burial The bodies arrived here in
charge of Sergeant Alternately, of
Camp Grant, Ill. They were met by
and escorted to the S. J. Straw funeral
home where they remained until Sun
day. The funeral service was held
at the east side of the court house.
The pleasant weather thus making it
possible for the immense crowd to be
taken care of. There were a little
over one hundred members of the
Masonic order and nearly as many
members of the American Legion
present. The pail bearers were Ma
sons who were also members of the
American Legion and as many of
them possible were from the same
companies and divisions the Moore
brothers The songs were sung by
Neil Uford Earl Campbell and Albert
Acre, Legion boys. Uford and Acre
were members of the same company
as Ed Moore. Miss MiIderd Robson
played the piano.
The steps at the east entrance to
the court house were arranged as a
platform for the speakers and the
singers A bank of evergreen, aspar-
agus and flowers was formed before
which the caskets, each covered with
the Stars and Stripes, were placed.
The floral decorations were bountiful
and beautiful and revealed the high
family were held by the people of
Trego county. The eu1ogies were de-
ivered by the Rev. S. L. Allison and
Rev. w. r. Woodward. Rev. Allison
was pastor of the Presbyterian church
here for many years and at the time
the Moore brothers became members
of that church. The Rev. Woodward
was pastor of the Methodist church
here for two years and at the time
the Moore brothers left for the war.
Both speakers were personally ac-
quainted with the dead soldiers and in
their eulogies they not only told of
the qualities of bravery and good cit
izenship of the dead heroes but of the
soldiers who had gone with them to
offer their life as sacrifice if need
be. They also emphasized the neces-
sity of loyalty to our country and to

at Long Beach, California, from heart
trouble caused by arterioscleros1s.
Mrs. Street will be remember by most
of the old time readers of The World,
having been among the early settlers
of Trego county. In 1873, Mr.. and
Mrs. Street and family came to Wa
Keeney, when the town was not yet
laid out. Mrs. Street was the first
woman to cook a meal in a hotel in
the new town and the hotel was then
located on the present site now
cupied by the Ford garage. In later
years Mr. and Mrs Street managed
the American House and for number
of years Mr.. Street was engaged in
the hardware business located in the
J. J. Keraus hardware building now
owned and managed by Mr.. Keraus.

Mrs. Street belonged to the Metho-
dist church and in the early days of
WaKeeney was a loyal and tireless
worker in it's behalf. She was a wo-
man of splendid attributes, always
kind to the unfortunate and ever will
ing to lend hand to every good and
worthy cause. She was, in every
sense, a true christian, setting forth
in her life the profession which she
made with a steadfastness and sin
cerety which made for her a host of
warm friends where ever she went.
It was a life of good deeds, christian
living and high ideals and in her pass
ing it can only be said that a splendid
and noble christian life was ended.
In 1899 the family moved to Par
sons, Kansas and resided there until
the spring of 1912 when they moved
to Hays but later returned to Par
sons. In 1917 they sold their home
in Parsons and moved to Fullerton,
Calf, where they resided until the
time of her death.
Mrs. Street was a native of New
York, having been born in Syracuse
July 15, 1912, being in her seventy
ninth year at the time of her DEATH
A beautiful bungalow home was
built in California, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Street had planned to pass their
last days One year ago last July
their sixtieth~ wedding anniversary
was celebrated on the fifteenth of the
month, it being also the birthday of
the deceased. Mrs. Street has host
of warm friends here and at HAYS

Olympia, Wash. The so-called
"China egg" law, requiring hotels,
