Henry OFT Summoned
To His Eternal Rest

Henry OFT, who had been bedfast
for close on to year, died at the
home of his son-in-law and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Raddatz of near
Redwood Falls, last Friday. The
cause of his death was anemia and
cancer of the stomach.
The funeral was held on Monday.
Services were held at the home at
10 o'clock, and then the procession
wended its way to the Emmanuel
Lutheran church in Eden township,
ten miles east of Morgan, where SER
vices were held, which were largely
attended. Rev. w. C. Nickels Of
Redwood Falls preached in German
and Rev. Paul E. Horn, pastor, preach
ed in English. The body was COM
mitted to its final resting place in
the family lot in the Eden church
cemetery. The pail bearers were
Emil Loose, Albert Zieganhagen
Fred Potzler, Louis Steinhaus, Geo
Ulrich and Emil Otto.
1t was to Eden township that Mr.
OFT come forty years ago to make his
home. In 1885, the year after he
reached his majority, Mr.. OFT ana
his parents moved there from Nicol
let where the subject of our sketch
was born February %, 1868, and
grew to manhood. For three decades
he made his home in Eden township
Ten years ago he and his wife moved
to Morgan.
In 1889 Mr.. OFT was united in mar
riage with Augusta Drusch, who
passed away few years later. In
1898 he was united in marriage with
Minnie Penke, who passed away in
March of this year. While Mr.. OF,
was very ill last winter, his wife's
health broke down apparently under
the strain and worry, and she was
removed to hospital at New Uln
where she underwent an operation blu!
to no avail. The passing away OF
his wife during his illness was sac
blow to Mr.. OFT but he bore "
bravely and for a brief time he raj
lied and his health appeared to i'm,
prove, but in recent months he haG
gradually weakened, until mercifu
Father called him to Rest. Shortly
after the death of his wife Mr.. OF
went to make his home with hi:

Destroyed Forest To
Be Salvaged

Salvaging state timber in southern
Koochiching county leveled by wind
of cyclonic proportions, is the task
that confronts Ray P. Chase, State
Auditor.
This timber in it's original condi-
ton was of an estimated value of
$1OO,OO0.OO. What price Mr.. Chase
will be able to secure in the sale to
follow depends upon the condition in
which his appraisers find the timber
in their examination.
The wind travelling diagonally tore
through three townships and left in
its wake an area of fallen trees and
tangled brush estimated at nearly
fifteen miles long and fully a mile
wide. In all, it is estimated tina.
about 25,000,000 feet of standing tim
Der was blown down. The greater por-
ton is privately owned, the Interna-
/tional Lumber Company being the
largest single owner. The states por-
ton of the area swept by the cyclon,.
is between 5000 and 1000 acres and
the timber destroyed estimated a.
about 10000 feet. State cruisers

it for entry in the annual sale of
state timber which is to be held in Oc-

Auditor Chase is to salvage timber on
the wind swept tract and arrange its
sale at minimum loss to the state.
The tract hit by the cyclone was
part of heavy stand Of virgin pine
and spruce and was among the finest
of the states timber holdings. 1t was

Tells How to Spy
Out Stacker Hens

"Uncle Norton" Chapman, poul-
try specialist of the extension divi-
sion, Minnesota College of Agricul-
ture says it is easy to detect the
Stacker hens in flock.
When the daily egg production a.
this time of the year falls below sc
per cent of the number of hens in a
we'll fed flock, then some hens are
loafing on the job. The number OF
loafers can be determined by null
tiplying the number of eggs OBJ
tanned daily by 2, and subtractins
this from the number of hens in the
flock.

Mr.. OFT has been member Of the

The next thing is to pick out the
slackers. Here are five signs OF

Yellow instead of white beaks, ear

legs, indicating that no coloring mat

Shrunken, pale, and small comb and
wattles.
Melting or falling of feathers from
neck, body, and wings.

cealizing that by so doing, they are
not only helping the candidate, but
making the Worcester Democrat
better paper, and beneftting the bust

ty.
Pocomoke today can truthfully
'oast of one of the best papers on the
Eastern Shore, with one of the largest
paid in advance circulations in Mary

statement, but nevertheless just lit
lie investigation will verify every word

fine circulation campaign, the candi-
