OBITUARY.
THE ONE PRICE STORE

In sad, but loving remembrance of
my dear father, Aaron Pritts, who de-
rarted this life sixteen years ago to-
day February 4th, 1920
Oar hearts have been crushed and
wounded,
Our lives have been lonely and sad
And only one look upon your dear
face
Would make us content and glad.
When the evening shades are gather
ing,
And we are sitting all alone,
IN our hearts there comes a longing
For you to come back home.
In the graveyard sleeping
Where the flowers gently wave
Lies the one we love SO dearly,
IN his lonely and silent grave.
From the world Of pain and sorrow,
To the land Of peace and rest
Sod has taken you, dear father,
Where you have found eternal rest.
BY his daughter, Mrs. Richard
Beckman.

 At Capitol s,4 ,,

Beautiful views of E most fashionable water resort; sorbing murder trial; colorful actie., 1t fine country estate, and Gloria Swanson in an interesting array of brand new Paris gowns, are announced as high lights of ''The Impossible Mrs. Bellew," new Paramount picture which comes to the Capitol theatre Monday and Tuesday.
 'The Impossible Mrs. Bellew," was adapted by Percy Heath from a novel by David Lisle. It tells of what hap pens when an innocent wife's reputa- tion is purposely blackened by an un- scrupulous lawyer in order to save her worthless husband from conviction of . charge of murder. Becoming social pariah as ''The Impossible Mrs. Bel lew" Miss.

 Director Sam Wood assembled a ca- pablo cast for the support of Miss Swanson. Robert Cain is the hus- band who causes all the trouble, while Conrad Nagel plays opposite the star in the role of the novelist.
 It is pointed out that 1.-The Impos- sible Mrs. Pelley"' will have. an espe7 cial appeal to women, as Miss Swan son wears several choice gowns, brought direct from Paris by the star:

NEW RADIO AIARvELS
WaveIoss Wireless For Private Com
 @ mi1nieation Forecast.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 16.--Waveless wireless that will make possible private radio communication on par with the telephone and other important develop ments that will revolutionize the sci ence of radio are possibilities of the near future, Edgar U. 1DeEorest of Minneapolis, inventor-engineer, an- nounced last night.
 DeForest has been engaged in cleo trical engineering inventive work for the last 20 years and recently evolved the plan of a system that would bring about many changes when completed and given to the world. \s'
 A misconception existed, lie said, thA private radio service was. limited t6 code, transmission and T party-to-party service on any other basis was imprac- ticable, if not impossible. Progress has been limited by the erroneous idea of wave and wave propaganda. Some of the latter day scientists have dis proved this theory.
 The forthcoming innovations of the silent system of waveless wireless will provide for. a central station, continu- ously In action, and with both sending and receiving clements, identical in construction and operating with per feet current constraint without the use of pulsations or any attenuation effects.

Junior Chamber of Commerce were the only plans offered, and we the committee think they are very safe and sane as we have never been used to thinking and talking in millions, it seems to us that three million and five hundred thousand dollars would be as large amount as we could get the people to agree to pay additional taxes on, at the same time I am not proper one to offer advice on being sensible as my doughnuts never did have any holes in them. they were always solid, fat and puffy, yet one should take thought of the things of to- morrow, that the tomorrow will take thought of the things of itself
 The children of today are the voters of tomorrow. and they should have all the chance we are able to give them, for there is nothing in this wide world today that equals the tile of free1born dyed in-the-blue-true American.
 The library question was introduced ia the meeting and a strong plea for 1t was made by Mrs. Angus Taylor, but nothing was decided upon, but I would like to add that the public library is, in itself great institution of learning and was the chief source of gaining Knowledge in ancient times, in the time of Cleopatra the Alexandrian library held four hundred thousand volumes, hence the ancients must have considered it great source of distributing knowI- edge, or they would not have taken time and pains to have that many vol tunes of instruction done by hand.
