Obituary
Mrs. C. r. Pierce.

Rachel B. Butts was born to Mr..
and Mrs. Michael Butts in the town
of Fulton on the farm now known as
the u. G.. Miller farm January 13,
1874.
On the first of November 1862 she
was united in marriage to Clark R.
Pierce of Milton by the Rev. James
C. Rogers.
They took up their abode on a
farm near MELVILLE.
In 1875 they moved to Edgerton
where they have since made their
home.
To this union two children were
born. Viola, April 2, 1868 and Olive
Dec. "a, 1875.
Viola passed away Nov. 10, 1891
and Olive Oct. IA, 1899 and Mr.. Clark
Pierce passed away May IA, 1913.
With Mrs. Pierce's death the entire
family has passed away.
She leaves one brother Jacob Butts
who resides at Campbell, California.
Her parents came overland from
the state Of Pennsylvania in the year
1889. They settled on a farm in the
town of Fulton where Rachel Butts
was born. She was the youngest of
nine children.
She leaves to mourn her loss
great company of nieces and nephews
and the one brother.
Mrs. Pierce was a member of the
Congregational Church of this city.
She was sincere Christian, kind
and faithful wife and mother and a
ever helpful friend to one in need.
She was of very quiet disposition
and a great lover of children. Her
kind deeds and acts of generosity will
well be remembered by those who
knew her. Many times did she leave
her home and go care for Mr.. Pierce's
parents at Milton.
|. For nearly three years she lived
with and helped care for her aged
sister Mrs. Jane Miller.
The past two years or more her
health has failed greatly and the end
came quietly Wednesday evening Jan.
Is, 1922.
What joy to be welcomed to the
Heavenly Home and to be reunited
with those who have gone on before.
BLESSED are they that do His COM
mandments that they may have right
to the tree of life and may enter in
through the gates into the city"

ology, long before the Christian era. But they
imagined different kind Of primitive men. You
know the story as the Greek philosopher tells it.
Men and women originally were round like
bali with four arms and four legs. They moved by
rolling over and over, using arms and legs to roll
themselves along. Finally they decided to roll up
the side Of Mount Olympus and attack the gods
dwelling on the summit
This worried the gods Of mythology, and they
held council One suggested that it would be
good idea to kill all human beings, for they were
rebelious anyhow and had neglected to offer sacri.
fces to the gods Another had q better idea Said
he: "Let us cut each Of them in two. Then they
won't be round, and they won't roll up the side Of
our mountain. There will be twice az many Of
them, and they will offer us twice as many sacri-
fees. And each half separated from the other half
will be so busy looking for that other half that they
won't have any time to attack U.S." So It was
done.
And when the human beings were cut IN two.
and made to stand upright on two lers instead Of
having four legs and four arms, they were also
divided into men and women. From that time on
each half was 50 busy looking for the missing half
that they let the gods Of Mount Olympus alone.
That was the Greek idea Of the best way 70
"confound" audacious men.

then spoke one single language, and everybody

were Undertaking much higher tower than they
imagined, inasmuch az the "close" moon itself Is
thousands Of miles away, and heaven wherever It
may be. Is many millions of miles beyond the
moon.
The story goes on telling how 'the Lord came

Big Coffee Crop
: May Help Lower
Retail Figures

St. Marc, Haiti, Nov. 9.-There are
indications in plenty here that the
coffee crop which is now being pick
ed and shipped will be the largest ex-
ported from Haiti in all her history.
St. Marc is the center of the coffee
growing country, and already the
roads and trails are pouring in a
flood of the aromatic berries that
find such high favor in western Eu-
rope. Since the export tax on coffee
produces little more than one-third
of the governments entire revenue,
and the coffee exports average two
thirds of all Haiti's export trade, the
Importance of this record-breaking
crop can be appreciated.
The present crop is destined to ex-
coed all previous French, Haitian and
American occupation figures, and the
average price to the peasant will be
nine cents a pound. While Haitian
coffee has not as yet gained foot
hold in the United States, its distinc-
tive aroma and strength have out
stripped all competition in western
Europe.

Notable Changes
Will Be Made i'm
Coming Congress
(By Associated Press)


Washington, Nov. 9.-Regardless
of the electio nresults, there will be
a new deal in legislative affairs in
the next congress.
New hands, to large extent, in
both senate and house will handle
the wheel if the republicans win, and,
of course, there will be a complete
turnover should the democrats gain
control.
New officers and committee chair
men in both senate and house for the
next congress already have been Sc
riously and widely discussed, private
ly, generally, but publicly to some
extent; while voluntary and involun-
tary retirement of some present lead
ers insures a shakeup in management
of the sixty-eighth congress. In adj
dition there are prospects of increas-
ed insurgency" largely confined
now to the senate, which if it is to
make substantial Roadway, accord
ing to veteran politicians, must de-
velop during the next congress or be
too late for the 1924 presidential
campaign.
Principal changes in management
of the next congress naturally will
occur in the house, from which Rep.
