so much among her schoolmates
and all of us. but in all our sor-
rows, let us remember that the
Lord cares and doeth all things
well.
I cannot say and will not say
That she is dead; she is just away.
With CHEEKY mile and a wave of
the hand,
She wandered into an unknown
land.
And left us dreaming how very
fair
1t need must be since she fingers
there.
And you, oh, you, who so often
yearn,
For the old-time step, and the
glad return.
Think of her still the same, I say,
She is not dead-she is just away.
In loving memory of Josephine
Weaver. Written by the
Rev. R. Cicero Ashley.

So we taught her children and
grandchildren to remember her
beautiful Christian life and pre-
pare to meet her in the paradise
of God.
And I heard voice from
Heaven saying unto me, Write,
Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord from henceforth: Yea,
saith the Spirit, that they may
rest from their labors; and their
works do follow them. Rev. 14:13.

4 told few hundred friends of mine
lat a dairy day meeting this fall
about farmer who logged a milk
can up to a Victory Bond drive,
saying the can held $4,000, which
he claimed was his life's savings and
which he wanted to turn into bonds.
When they counted the money,
they found only S12, 5OOin the can
''Shucks, said the farmer, Guess
] brought the wrong car" ~
There's gold in your milk cans,
without any fooling, but sometimes
things happen to the milk which
turn that gold into ashes. AS l
pointed out a couple of weeks ago,
high quality dairy products get their
~+3rt on the farm.
And the primary starting point
Is right in your barn. Sanitat ton
begins with a clean barn. Keep
ing it clean is just a matter of
setting up good habits, setting
regular times to brush down
walls, clean floors, sweep rafters,
wipe down stanchiOns and stalls.
The USDA says that farmers lose
millions of dollars every year be-
cause of milk which does not reach
quality standards and cannot BIZ
used to make good dairy products.
These quality standards probably
will be higher in 1916.
Whitewashine the inside helps
greatly and makes a lighter,
more cheerful place to work in.
I'll repeat a couple of simple
whitewash formulas which |
men tioned a few months ago:
Use one pound of lye, 215 pound
of water-slaked lime. Dissolve il
So gallons of water. This solu-
ton should be used Immediately.
Another-use five parts of cream u:
lime, one part kerosene, one-ha,
part coal-tar disinfectallt and g..
parts boiling water.

WASHINGTON, March 2 -
Up President Roosevelt dis
closed today that treaties on re-

fecting the peace will be SUBJ
mitted to the Senate in addition
to the world security organiza-
ton.
At his first news conference
since returning from the Big

President said treaties and leg
islation probably will be COM
ing along like clock work.
Questioning also brought out
that Mr.. Roosevelt supposed
there will have TO be treaty
with Germany some day. This
was in answer 10 queries whe-
Their ceding Of land to Poland
would require treaty.
Referring 10 a passage in Mr..
Roosevelt's speech TO Congress
yesterday that this country does
not want to make slaves out of
the German people, a reporter
wanted to know whether this
would conflict with reports that
Russia might use German labor
TO rebuild damaged areas.

Guard Philippines
BY JAMES HUTCHINSON

MANILA, March 2 = (R -
Veteran 4lst Division Yanks
have seized control Of the west
ernmost Philippine Island of
Palawan in a move to sever
Japan's tenuous shipping lanes
to her rich, stolen East Indies.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, an
nouncing the invasion today.
said the Americans landed vir-
tually unopposed Wednesday on
the Fifth largest island of the
Philippines, capturing Puerto
Princesa. the capital and princi.
pal harbor, and two nearby air
fields midway along the 275-
mile east coast.
Maj. Gen. Jens A. Does in.
fantrymen moved ashore after
cruiser and destroyer lombard
ment and a two-day aerial
pounding. The $40 a. m. land
ing was along beaches opening
through Mangrove swamps. Ex-
tremely light resistance devel.
oped inland.
American losses were official
ly termed very light"
The town of Puerto Princesa
was blasted and deserted as the
Yanks moved in. The harbor
was in good condition, however,
and landing craft soon were
busy unloading their cargoes at
the wharves. The airdromes,
cratered by American bombs
were being put into shape.
FIRST SOUTH TURN
Invasion of Palawan. \ mar.
row island pointing like fin
ger from the Philippines toward

southwark turn of the American
forces. Macarthur has been
driving steadily northward for
nearly three years.
Palawan, $50 miles southwest

Borneo, is the 18th Philippine
Island invaded by the Yanks.
In American hands, Palawan
Will dominate the South China
Sea approaches to Japanese-held

Its seizure, Macarthur said
will not only help to insure the
safe passage of our own sea
transport. but render hazardous
that of the enemy. The pro.
gressive security of the Philip
pines as base thus tends to
cut the enemy in two and con-
denim all of his conquests to. the

MicrofiIming
is Proposed

To protect Macomb county
public records. microflming and
safe-storage of them is recon-
mended in the report of a sur
vey filed with the legislature
by Oscar G.. Olander, state police
commissioner and fire marshal.
according I the Associated
Press.
Sherwood Bennett, county
controller, said today that he
doubted whether equipment or
materials could be obtained for
such procedure during war
time, although the move would
increase the protection of these
valuable records.
Macomb county's recommen-
dation was one of many includ-
ed in the report, and reveals
the Macomb county building,
where the records are now stor-
ed. as we'll above average in
safety throughout the state.
