In sad but loving remembrance OF
Mary Emma Cole, who departed this
life. March 6, 1922:
Just eight years ago today
Our dear mother passed away;
She received a message from above
And was borne to heaven on wings of
love.
So sad and sudden was the call,
Your sudden death surprised us all;
Dearest Mother, how We miss you,
In the years that just rolled by.
Farewell, dear Mother, you have left us
And your vacant chair we see;
But as you could not stay with us,
We shall ever remember thee.
She is waiting by the river
Just across the silver stream;
Where sweet flowers are always bloom
ing
And the banks are always green.
Sadly missed by Husband and
Daughter. 1tp

Today we are enjoying a holiday
because of the meeting of the Kent
County Teachers Association in Do

The following word stories are
results of this weeks study in Latin
derivaties, done by the students in
Latin III:
Incriminate - The Latin word
to perceive or decree is
"cernere," from which is derived the
Latin noun "crimen" meaning a jul
dicial decision. From this noun we
get the Latin word, ''incriminare"
which takes it's meaning from lin"
plus "criminare" meaning to accuse
of. Thus we get our English word
'incriminate," meaning to accuse of.
ReSuScitate - The Latin verb .
cleo" meaning to set going, from
which we get "citare," meaning to
urge on or move. Sub" under, plus
'citare" would mean to lift up or to
revive, forming the word "susci-
tare" which, added to "re," the pre-
fix meaning again, would give us
our present meaning of "resusci-
-ate," to bring back to life.
Febrifuge-The Latin word mean
ng fever is "febris." This combined
with "fugare," to put to fight, de-
rived from the Latin verb "fugere,"
10 fee, would mean to put fever to
light. So of course our English
word, "febrifuge" means to dispel
ever.
Champagne Champagne is
costly wine made in Champagne,
France, and is named for the pro-
vince in which it was first made.
The province, Champagne, is so
named because it is situated on a
evel plain which is directly from
is Latin form "campania."
Canary Bird - Many years ago
arge specie of dog came to the is
ands now called Canary Islands
which the Romans called insulae.
the latter coming from the
latin word "canis," meaning dog.
Several years afterwards beautiful
bird habitated this island. 1t had a
,ery sweet voice and it received its
lame, canary, from the name of this
sland.

Canadian citizens by river liquor patrols

CARLSBAD CAVERN, N. Mex,
February 27-The presence of a party
of New York newspaper men bent upon
penetrating the unexplored recesses of
the mighty Carlsbad Cavern has stimu-
lated fresh interest in this underground
wonderland. The lure of the unknown
adds charm to this subterranean palace
of natural marvelS.
While more than 20 miles of vast
chambers and passages of the cavern
have been explored and charted, new
tunnels are constantly being discovered
leading to chambers of crystalline love-
illness even more spectacular than those
already known.
The only known mouth OF the cavern
Is at the top of one of the rolling foot
hills Of the Guadalupe Range, which
forms the southern end of the Rocky
Mountain System. There Is another
opening somewhere, but it has never
been discovered. A downward air cur
rent from the only discovered entrance
moves through the underground passages
| to some vent yet to be found.
Find Lake as Feet Deep.
Just recently a remote chamber was
discovered containing a lake rs feet
deep. Amoag other finds in the past
year were some chambers adorned with
vast array of stalactites of lacelike
delicacy.
Another chamber in the same vicinity
has a small lake with three islands
, resembling volcanic cones.
Every day throughout the year q
crowd of visitors is taken through this
| great underground show. They are
| treated to rare sights. There are colossal
columns of exquisitely nodded onyx and
limestone and also some of the finest of
lace-like traceries in stone filigree.
A petrifled menagerie of animal
| figures Is scattered about in the cavern,
adding touches Of humor to the natural
splendors.
In the past five years the Government
| has made notable improvements for
the comfort OF visitors. Instead of q
bucket life In which persons made the
descent into the cavern a few years ago,
there Is now a system of stairways and
broad safe roadways Of easy grade down
