Mrs. Williams Asserts London
Men Are Ahead of Ameri-
cans, However.

Poor taste or ignorance is to be
ascribed to anyone who looks to Paris
in preference to Washington for
smartness IN appearance of young
women, according to Mrs. Elizabeth
Williams, 3I46 P street northwest.
who has just returned to Washington
from a two months stay in the
French capital.
Because" Mrs. Williams says.
Washington girls are SO far ahead of
the Paris girls that there is little
comparison"
Because Of her prominence in WASH
ington art circles, this expression from
Mrs. Williams, it Is said. may have
a great deal Of weight in assisting
Washington men to understand how
fortunate they are to, live here instead
OF In Paris.
London girls, Mrs. Williams says,
are hopeless from the standpoint of
appearance" However. the men are
far ahead of American men in this
respect, she declares.

James p. Okins.
(Renville Star-Farmer)

The people of this community
were shocked to learn that James P.
Okins had passed from this life while
sitting in a chair at his home on Fri
day afternoon, January 6, 1922, of
appoplexy. He had been down town
with his car getting some supplies
for the home at the meat market and
appeared in his usual health greeting
his friends in his usual cordial man
ner. He put the car in his garage
and went to the house when he was
stricken a few minutes after he had
sat down.
Mr.. Okins was born in England in
1916 thus being in his 10th year at
the time of his death. When a boy
he came to America and when the
Civil War broke out he joined the
army and served eighteen months in
a Wisconsin regiment. We are told
that he was the only known survivor
of that regiment when he died. To
have taken part in battle for the
cause of freedom and the preserva
ton of the Republic in those perilous
days is an honor to be envied, and a
record to be proud of.
On Sept. 10, 1870 he was united
in marriage to Sophia C. Churchill.
Directly after their marriage they
moved to Renville county and took
up a homestead ten miles south of
this city where they resided until
1912 when they retired from the
farm and moved to Renville where
they have since resided. Thus it will
be seen that Mr.. Okins was not only
a soldier but also helped to blaze the
way in the early settlement of Rem
vile county. In his relations with
his fellow men he was just and
scruplously honest in his dealings
and was beloved by a large circle of
friends.
He is survived by eight children,
George Russo, N. D.; Edward, Minot,
N. D.; Mrs. J. R. Bell, Redwood Falls,
Mimi; Frank, Delhi, Mimi; Mrs:
Chas. Skramstead, Velva, N. D.; Fred
Russo, N. D.; and Charles who is on
the old homestead. Five children
preceded their father to the grave.
The funeral was held from the M.
E. church Tuesday morning at 1000
O'Clock, Rev. Gray of Olivia conduct
ing the service, and gave an able dis
course on the occasion. The inter-
ment was in our Fairview cemetery.
The pallbearers were P. Y. Randall,
Louis Kottum, John Larkin, Philip
Warner, N. w. Brooks, Grant Brooks.
In common with the entire COM
munity we extend our condolences to
the, family in this their great be-
reavement.
