IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our dear Mother.
Emma A. Jones, who died Jan. II. 1882.
Two years have passed since that sad
day.
The one we loved was called away.
God took her home, it was his will.
But in our hearts she liveth still.
o. faithful Mother, kind and true,
No friends on earth like you we find.
The depths of our sorrow no longer can
we tell,
OF the loss of our Mother whom we loved
so well.
Some may think you are forgotten,
Though on earth you are no more.
But in memory you are with us,
As you always were before.
SON AND DAUGHTERS.

A LOOK AHEAD


often unavailing efforts to
meet our severely curtailed
obligations, we are all prone
at times to pause and wonder
whether this hurly-burly
world we are living in will
ever reach a point at which
our worries and perplexities
will diminish and the joy of
living, planning and execut-
ing will come back to us. The
best basis for an answer is to
be found in the history Of the
past. Hard times have in
evitably been followed by new
eras Of prosperity that rose to
heights unattained before.
and it doubtless will be SO
again. That it should be 50
is entirely logical. Who is
there today for instance, who
has not many wants that he
is eager to supply? We all
have them aplenty. Every
one can count up scores of
legitimate needs that he is
hiding his time to meet. So
there exists today a potential
market Of mighty proper
tons. Factories only wait
the signal to begin turning
out all the things that are
wanted. Producers are as
anxious to supply the raw
materials. The means and
materials are available in
abundance, as are workrnen
who stand ready by the mil
lions to man the factories. /
The stage is set. The engine
is manned and under steam. |
All that is needed is to get it
off dead center and the wheels !
will start turning. Some day, /
somehow they will begin to
turn. No question about that. |
And then we will be on our
way. Money that flows so
grudgingly now will again
flow freely. These times will |
recede into retrospect and we
will be in the midst of a new
day in which the experience
of our present economic sick
ness will be utilized to i'm
munize us against a repeti-
ton of it. The need of the
hour is courage, fortitude,
faith in ourselves and our
destiny and in the Providence
of God. When the period of
our chastisement is past a
change will come that will be
so pervasive and yet so in
tangible that one of the moot
questions of the future will
be, What brought it about?
The important thing for us is
to lift our vision above the
worries that circumscribe us
now, take note of the progress
of mankind down through the
ages and from that record |
take hope for better days

MAE WEST TRIES
 OUT AS TEACHER
Wanted to Find Actor in Tribe-Needs Him
 for New Play

Sherman Indian Institute, River side, Cal, Oct s-(UP)-Thanks to Mae West, Indians of 75 tribes to- day had a working knowledge of exactly how a redskfn should look and act. They learned all about 1t when Mae visited the sherman In- dian. institute in search of a brave to play a leading part in her next picture, "Now I'm a Lady,. The Indians were instructed by Boris Petroff, Russian born dramatic ad- visor to Miss West. Like Miss West, Petroff never saw an Indian in his native habitat.
 The actress decided that Earl Gould, a Nez-Perce, big, broad and good looking, and Joe Choree, 6 foot 2 inch, 1s5-pound Mission. might do. See how they photo- graph" said Miss West, waving | dictatorial finger. ''Do it like this" :" ordered Petroff, and he struck one of those dignified Indian ''last-of- the- e-Mohican" affairs.
 The Nez-Perce and the Mission looked as much as possible like Petroff and thereby earned them- selves places in Miss Vests next picture. Miss West first picked for her picture a Yuma Indian, Ernest Miguel, because he swaggered in front of her, splitting through his teeth. As the $50 young Indian boys of the institute were paraded before her, Miss West said: "This Is the first time I ever had to so looking for a man. feel like q horse thief"

 Hugh M. Alcorn, militant states attorney of Hartford county and republican standard bearer quoted Ecclesiastes freely before the Win sted Rotary club in Litchfield coun- ty, declared for lower real estate taxes, care of the states feeble minded and an equalization plan to more evenly distribute educational costs.
