A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
TO MY GRANDMOTHER
MRS. Mary M. Porter)


AS the wheels of time keep rolling
on darkness is settling over the
world. Sometimes grief comes to one
home and sometimes to another. But
sooner or later it comes to us all.
On Dec. 20, 1884, Death came
stalking on silvery wings to the home
of Rev. j. o. Spencer, knocking for
admittance. Every known means was
used to prevent his entrance but at
8 o'clock he entered unlimited and
claimed as his victim one of the most
beloved of the family, Mrs. Mary M.
Porter, mother Of Mrs. ]. o. Spencer.
For "a years she lived in this world
of trouble, but no one knew the sor-
row and pain she bore during her
life for she never complained or told
her troubles to any one.
Since Sept, 1888, dear Grandmoth-
er's health had been declining. She
never seemed to get any relief only
for little while. Then on Friday
morning Dec. % the awful monster
swooped down upon her causing her
to suffer such intence pain she could
hardly hear it, but she never COM
planned.
There never lived a-more loving
and devoted person to her home and
the family always sacrificing for the
comfort of the family-depriving
herself of many things. Grandmother
was always kind to her three grand
children. We could never ask favor
of her that we did not get. She was
a mother to us all. o, how we do miss
her sweet smile and loving voice. She
had kind word for every one with
whom she came in contact.
We miss her so much, but we know
heaven has geen made brighter by
her passing.
o dear Grandmother, how we
miss you
More and more each day we live
We can never, never forget you
Your sweet face and loving smile.
We all know our days are num-
bered
But some sweet day, bye and bye
We will meet you, dear Grand
mother
Far away beyond the skies.
BY your going heavens brighter
We look forward day by day
To our meeting you in Glory
And the Saints who enter there.
BY her Granddaughter.

OLD AGE PENSION MEASURE
rs FORECAST BY ROBINSON

Washington. An economic security
program costing a hundred million
dollars the first year and covering
unemployment insurance and old age
and widow pensions was forecast re-
Gently by Senator Robinson, of Ar
kansas, the Democratic leaser.
Robinson said he expected the
whole subject to be covered in one bill
and that presidential recommends
tions would be sent up with special
message late this week,
The word came from Robinson at
about the same time that Senator
Capper, Republican, Kansas, intro
duced a bill designed to give persons
over so an income of $3.50 year.
He said this sum would be enough
to keep them out Of poorhouses but
not enough to tempt them to surren-
der jobs to depend on this income.

OBITUARY OF KATE vANNoY

Kate Vanoy Shepard, the daughter
of Andrew and Polly Vannoy, was
born in North Carolina in the 9th of
February, 1861, and departed this
life, Dec. 8, 1884, making her stay
on earth 73 years, 10 months, and %
days.
She was the widow of ]. P. Shop
'pard, who departed this life several
years ago. She leaves one daughter,
Mrs. Hattie Sheppard, of Street, Nd,
and one brother, Mr.. Jessie Vannoy,
of Crumpler, five grandchildren, and
6great grandchildren, and many other
relatives and friends.
Mrs. Sheppard professed hope in
Christ in early life and united with
the Baptist church at Liberty Hill,
Nathans Greek, living faithful
member until death. She was sick
only short time and before she was
taken to the hospital she asked the
family to sing "God be With You
Till We Meet Again.
By her request, she was laid to
rest in Mt. Zion Cemetery, Fountain
Green, Nd, on Dec. 6. We feel that
Sister Sheppard is sweetly resting in
the arms of her loving Saviour.

Death passed but a few inches
from little Nancy Carey who lay
sleeping in her Ohio home as a train
and auto collided at crossing few
rods away. A piece of metal from
the wreck was hurled through the
window, showering her with glass
and tearing a hole in the wall but
she slumbered on uninjured.

The Fun CooIxy Jar

Grandmother's old brown stone
crock, filed to the brim with sugar
cookies and ginger snaps, was one Of
the never ending delights Of our
childhood. Each day we dropped in
after school to explore new wonders
in this charmed jar. A hospitable ges-
ture still in favor among grandmoth-
ers today and kindly one it is, too,
worth preserving on our own pastry
shelves. Though our gay cooky jars
may be little more decorative, we
could hardly improve on the contents
of grandmother's old crock. But cook
les should not be confined to after
school snacks alone. They grow in
creasingly important on the modern
menu, too. Many families serve can
ned or fresh fruit desserts as regu-
lar part Of their dinner and to this
dish cookies add the perfect touch of
crisp sweetness. The following cook
les are so easy to prepare that it will
be pleasure to serve them often
from the full cooky jar!

AUTO INDUSTRY
is Threatened
BY A. F. OF |.
Strike to Be Called, Green
Warning; Manufacturers
UnConCerned.
By United Press

By Dnifed Press
DETROIT, March 11.-Unless au-
tomobile manufacturers agree to
negotiate directly with its president
William Green, the American Fed :
Grafton of Labor will feel COM
PEELED to strike Immediately" the
United Press was informed today.
F. j. Dillon, A. F. of L. organizer
in Detroit, issued this warning after
one representative of the manufac-
turers had refused such a confer
ence.
The manufacturers, however, con-
tinued to ignore the possibility of a
federation-sponSored strike.
AS the billion-dolla industry
which claims to be leading the ma
ton back to prosperity entered
what may be its best month since
1880, the A. F. of L. reasSerted that
it will strike unless its demands are
granted, and manufacturers repre-
SentativeS continued to scott.
Impartial critics leaned toward
the manufacturers viewpoint-that
the A. F. of L. will not strike this
year.
Alfred Reeves, vice president of
the Automobile Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, has announced he has no
authority to arrange a peace con-
ference between Green and the
manufacturers. This was interpre-
ted, instead, as blank refusal.
These proposed conferences, the
A. F. of L. has asserted, are its last

scrfppS-H0Ward Junior Aviator
HERE's a yarn with a funny
Il Il little angle But before l
tell it want to let you in on some
thing. We people in aviation know,
of course, that you've been watching
our activities . but we've been
watching you folks, too. And if we
do funny things =. we'll, I've heard
that you do, too.
Now here's the story
An official of one of our big cor
porations bought a plane and hired
pilot to tote him around. This
executive seemed to care little for
weather or bad flying conditions. =.
and the pilot was nearly distracted
by being asked to make a flight in
rain, fog or snow.
But he was afraid to kick for
fear he'd lose his job. At times when
they would be forced right down
on tops of trees by bad weather. the
pilot would look around at his boss
in hopes he'o get a signal to quit
and land some place. But every
time he looked around, the boss
would be irdustriouSly making
notes q. writing, always writing,
never looking up.
This lack of attention almost
drove the pilot crazy. He finally told
his tale to some one else who in turn
put the case up to the boss, quoting
the pilots words . mo matter
how had the weather he's making
notes, and more notes"
The big executive cut into the
story. Making notes." he cried.
Good gosh, I didn't want that pilot
TO see how scared I was . and
the notes I was making all con-
cerned alterations in my will"
