of cowboys herding and lassooing cat

! and seeing the actions of the daring

they are naturally disappointed in not

A number of local citizens met at
the school grounds Sunday and took
steps to organize a National Sane
Burial Society. The view is that too
much money is spent on funerals, es-
pecially by people in humble circum-
stances who often impoverish them
selves in the burial of beloved mem
Der of the family for fear of being re-
garded as niggardly or cheap. The
purpose of the society will be to keep
funerals down to a moderate cost so
that more money will be left to those
behind instead of put in the ground.
Committees have been appointed and
a permanent organization along the
lines stated is an assurance.
