IN MEMORIAM.

A., In loving memory Of our little ron. Lloyd Grad,
22nd. 1921. N
A beautiful bud in our garden.
We watched with such tender care
mo we forgot our love and devotion
Ire Heavenly 8dener had planted it there.
And so when Angel picked it.
Or hearts were torn with despair:
! But oh what a comfort the promise
We all shall meet over there.
His mother. Mrs. ]. d. McRae.
We wept-'twas Nature wept-
but Faith
Can pierce beyond the gloom
of DEATH
And in yon world so fair and bright
| Behold thee in refulgent light!
We miss thee here yet Faith would rather
Know thou art with thy heavenly Father
Nature sees the body desd---
Faith beholds the spirit fled
Nature stops at Jordan tide
Faith behods the other side:
Nature hears farewells and sighs---
| Faith thy welcome in the skies,
/ Nature mourns the cruei blow
! Faith assures it ia not so;
Nature never sees thee more -
| Faith but sees thee gone before;
| Nature tells dismal story
! Faith has visions full of glory:
Nature views the change with sadness
! Faith contemplates it with glsdness
! Nature murmur gives meekness
! Strength is perfected in weakness:
Nature wrthes. and hates the rod
Faith looks up and blesses God
Sense looks downward--Faith abovei
That sees harshness---ths sees love
Oh. let Faith victorious be-
Let it reign trumphautlyl
Shall then ask thee back my own?
Back---and leave thy spirits brightness?
Back---and leave thV robes of wilderness?
Back---and leave the Lamb who feeds thee?
Back-.from fnunts to which he leads thee2
Back---and leave thy Heavenly Father?
Back Ito earth and sin ?--Nay. rather
Would live in solitude
would not ask thee if could
But patient wait the high decree
That calls my spirit home to theel
His father. J. D. McRae.
In loving remembrance of Albertus s. Leister
who departed this life. June %. 1920.
Two years have passed our hearts still sore
Az time goes on we miss you more
So sad and sudden the call
Your sudden death surprised us all.
Maybe some day will unde1 stand.
When we meet you in a better land,
OF grief and sorrow we've had our share
But the parting with you. dear Albertus was the
hardest to bear.
But little they knov the, sorrow our hearts con-
ceal.
Dearest AIbertus. how we miss ION.
Oh. it's sweet to breathe your name
We loved you very dear in life
In death we'll do the same.
Yes. God takes the best and dearest
Why it is we do not know ;'
But some day weu be invited
Then we all shall uuder stand
OF times do sit and wonder
Why the Lord has taken you
Loved by all that ever knew you
But we know God loved you too
Saviour's breast,
Life with trials hard may presa u.s.
Heaven will bring US sweeter rest
Oh. so sadly missed.

In loving remembrance of our daughter, Nellie
May Fowler. who died June Is. 1909.

Among the flowers our darling loved best;
Rewear hearts long to her dear Eoiea agar -7-.
And feel the touch of her loving caress.

In the paradise of God.

Only once In history did Indians
succeed In wrecklng one of the ''whie

In 1867 when band OF Cheyennes

Pacific near Plum Creek, Neb. A
strange scene followed. Among the
loot which the savages took from
the wrecked cars were hundreds OF
bolts of calico. In sportive mood.
the young warriors tied the ends of

they lied In every direction, crying

Nal. Frank North was the "Wllte

ECONOMIC VALUE OF PAINT
Great Mistake to Imagine That the
Only Use CT the Brush Is for
characterization.

Observation in most localities
leaves the impression that too many
buildings suffer from lack of painting
4 great many property owners seem
10 assume that the use of the paint
brush is the special prerogatiye of the
rich, that 1t holds no advantage for
the average man, IL lie can forego the
pleasure of having ornamentation
about. But painting is not chiefly val
uablc for ornamentation. II is chiefly
valuable for sanitation. greater life,
better service.
While paint does. OF course. serve
TO improve the appearance Of prop
erty. II Is far more useful for protec-
tion than for ornament. A small
amount of money and work expended
in keeping a valuable piece OF ma
chinery painted will greatly add to
its length of life. The same may be
said of buildings.
Another useful object which Is ac-
complished by painting is the I'm
proved sanitary condition of buildings
and outhouses. The cost of such work
tpainting) Is small. the necessary
equipment Is not expensive, and with
proper care this will last lifetime.

STRAWBERRY ONE

Can Be Purchased at Small

OF Agrculture)
Strawberries are so easily handled
and require so little room, that If
only one of the small fruits can be
grown they should be the one select
ed. New plants may be purchased at
small cost from a nurseryman, or per-
haps may be obtained from nelghbor.
Strawberries may be grown in hills
or In narrow or wide matted rows,
says the United States Department OF
Agriculture. For very small areas,
plants set In hills close together will
no doubt produce the most and largest
fruit, but Will require more care than
matted rows.
For hill growing, set the plants one
foot apart in the row and have the
rows just far enough apart to cultivate
easily. say from two to three feet; or
set rows foot apart In double rows
and have space OF two or three feet
between the double rows. Keep all
runners cut Off and give good cultlva-
tlon, sons TO NUKE extra strong plants.
Some of the choicest varieties for hill
culture are the Marshall and Chesa-
peake of the single crcp kind and the
Superb and Progressive of the ever
bearing varieties. The everbearlng
varieties will no doubt be most satis-
factory for bill culture.
Starting for Matted Rows.
To start matted rows set the plants
IS inches apart In rows from three TO
four feet apart. For narrow matted
row. train the first runners along the
row, covering about a foot In width,
and cut off all later runners. From
four to six new plants from each plant
set vii! make narrow row. Fer
wide matted rows. save enough new
plants TO make the row two feet wide.
or more. us desired Do not LET the
plants crowd each other; have them
four TO six inches apart.
Set strawberry plants early in the
spring. If possible, so they will get the
benefit of spring rains and mike
strong early growth. Trim or the
dead leaves and all but one or two OF
the live ones and cut the roots to about
