Montgomery county, N. Y, on Feb
ruary 27, 1857 and passed away at
her late home in Belding. on Feb
ruary Is, l922following ten days
illness of pneumonia. When twen-
ty years of age she came to Michi-
gan and settled on farm near Bost-
wick lake. On December 10, 1879
she was united in marriage to Char
lev S. Bush. and to this union five
children were born, two of whom
survive: Mrs. Cleland Hunt, of
Grattan and Orville Bush, of Bost-
wick lake. Besides the children she
leaves to mourn their loss, a kind
and devoted husband, two brothers,
Charles Bartlett. of Potter's Cor
ners and Miles Bartlett of Saranac,
together with host of friends. The
greater part of her life was spent
on the old farm in Grattan and the
last three years were happily spent
in Belding working and visiting
among her friends, seeking at all
times to be help and consolation
to those of her neighbors afflicted
with illness-almost her last work
being of this nature. Truly, she was
kind and devoted wife, mother and
neighbor. For many years she was
a member of the Congregational
church at Bostwick lake, and when
she came to Belding she joined the
Church of Christ, Of which she as
since been member. Saturday
morning at 10 a. m. scripture read
ing and prayer were offered at their
beautiful home on south Bridge st.

gational church where the funeral
services were held, by her pastor, H.
E. Curch of Belding Church of Christ
and burial was in the new cemetery
east Of Bostwick lake.

These are silver, these are god.
New made friendships like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.

Time and change are surely best;

Five million questionaires will be
used by the American Legion in its
service and compensation drive. to
be undertaken by states. Each man
who served during the world war
will be advised of government ben
efits, urged to carry government in
surance, and asked to designate the
nature Of adjusted compensation he
wishes.
On bill in Eden Park, in Cincin-
natl, overlooking bend in the Ohio
river, a bronze memorial will be
erected to the memory of F. w. Gal
braith, late commander of the Amer
lean Legion, who was killed in an
automobile accident last June.
Shipbuilding will be stimulated in
an effort to realize the 100000 un-
employed in New York City. An
American Legion census reports that
$4,000 of these are ex-soldiers.
Secretaries, dieticians, and tech
nicians who served with American

More than 10000 applications for

is distributing necessary blanks thru

The American Federation of Labor
favors the adjusted compensation
bill for ex-soldiers, Daniel j. Tobin
treasurer of the Federation, has in
formed the American Legion. But
it does not favor a sales tax as a
means of raising the money.
Questionnaires sent out by Kan
sas posts of the American Legion
show that but 35 per cent of the
states ex-service men would elect
the cash payment provision of the
five-option adjusted compensation
(bonus) bill. More than 43 per cent
declared for paid up insurance, with
farm and home aid second best bet.
Vigorous objection to the admis-

Our Fathers voice demands her,
And death to her is gain.
She has what we are wanting,
She sees what we believe; y
The sins on earth so haunting,
Have there no power to gricve. Z
Safe in her Savior's keeping,
Who sent her calm releave-
'Tis only we are weeping
She dwells in perfect peace.
The crown of life she weareth,
She wears the shining psalm,
The holy, holy shareth,
And joins the angles psalm.
But we poor pilgrims wander
Still thru this land of woe,
Till we shall meet her yonder,
And all her joys shall know.

STATE OF GEORGIA
is SELF SUSTAINING

Atlanta, Ga, July l3.-Georga
is now fast on the way to seli-maine-
nance in the matter Of food stuffs.
In some important items, indeed,
the State has become an exporter,
whereas but recently il imported in
large quantities. During the month
Of June alone many thousands Of
dollars worth of hogs were market
ed through the cooperative sales
in divers counties, with prospect
OF the amount growing steadily as
the live stock industry develops.
1t is Of record that immense stores
Of grain and provender which
farmers once bought from distant
regions are now raised from THEN
own soil
This augurs well and greatly iol
the future of the Commonwealth, ii
is asserted by state agricultural
experts. The conserving for home
needs and home enterprises, OF mil
ions cf dollars that used to stream
away in payment of food imports
is itself Of large significance; but
even more SO are the better agricul-
tural methods which the production
Of various food crops betokens and
the independence which it youch-
safes.
AS a result Of these methods
Georgia farm lands, a few years
hence, will be worth 1t vast dea
more than if the single crop system
with its impoverishment OF soil
strength, had cantinued to prevail
and likewise Georgia farm incomes
| will be steadier, surer and larger
This way prosperity lies; may
its followers, already legion, con-
| tinuaIly increase, is the hope ex-
pressed here by agricultural leaders

ORIGIN of FIavors.

Among the most remarkable
glimpseS into hidden corners of ma
ture that scientific advance has af-
forded are the frequent discoveries
of heterogeneous in unexpected
places, where they produce phenomena
heretofore supposed to rise from 9th
er causes. For instance, a scientist
in Upsala, Sweden, ascertained that
in preparations of meat and fish con
tanning, for purpose of preservation
salt to the amount Of Is per cent, mi
cro,orgonisms grow luXuriantly, and
he concludes that the flavors and
odors that are peculiar to various
salt conserves are due to the micro

Monthly Wage OF
Striking ShOpmen
Presented

Interesting facts and figures a.
to the monthly wage of the striking
shopmen are presented in Il state
ment published today by W. A.
Winburn, president of the Central
of Georgia Railway Company. lie
shows that the reduction against
which The men are striking is Sl4 Is
per moath for the seven of the eight
crafts affected. The basic pay is
decreased from $157 0S per month
to $142.S). In addition to this
minimum wage for Il month of 204
hours (the average number Of
working hours based on an eight
hour day), the men are paid for an
additional hour each week for
checking in, end extra compensation
is given for time worked in excess
of eight hours. For instance,
during May, 1922 boilermaker at
Columbus, Ga. received S24l 10;
car repairer at Chattanooga, $203.04,
etc.
These figures are quoted rs bear
-, -, ,l,n oNnfaNt;O,, Of II Nj
Jewell, head of the striking unions,
that the wage scale fixed by the
Labor Board, is mot sufficient to
maintain worker and his family
in decent comfort.
President Winburn quotes the
paid per hour and per
month by the Central OF Georgia
since before the war and shows that
wages are from 30 to IS per cent.
higher than in 1917, while living
costs have increased but II per cent. |
He declares that public opinion will
ultimately decide the controversy,
that it is the public welfare that
will suffer by interruption to traffic
and therefore the public is entitled
to Information about the point at
issue. He asks that the people
form their own conclusions as to
whether the striking shopmen re-
leivc living wage.
