I OBITUARY I Mrs. B Mae Hocker was born in I Illinois 42 years ago last March. She I was educated in the public schools of I Edinburg. Illinois, and at Taylor Uni I versits ., Upland. Indiana, and the Marion Normal college. Marion, Indiana. She was Bachelor of Music as wl i as Bachelor of Arts. Mrs. Hocker was inclined to hide her talents and but few knew of her musical education as far as anything she said. She was, as Miss Williams, united to Rev H. H. Hocker, June 18. 1905. at a Methodist Episcopal church wedzding in Monroe. Indiana. She began the life of the pastorate on Bluffton Circuit. Bluffton, Indiana, and after tuur years in the North Indiana Conference was transferred to southern California having ehared all the responsibilities of the parsonage home a Reedley. San Luis Oblsoo. Fullerton, Redondo Beach and San Fernando. For nearly five years she-was pianist in the church at Redondo, attending all meetings of the choir, practicing with solist. etc., and playing at all the services of the church, Including the prayer meetings, during that time. Nearly three years ago she came to San Fernando, during most of which time she had been in failing health The fatal illness began about the middle of January of this year, but not until the 17th of June did the members of the family know of her critical condition. And what triumphant weeks they were since that time, and before. She suffered greatly. When by her own questioning she gradually learned of her condition she became resigned to the inevitable. Often she would say to visiting friends, "I do not think'of death as I used to think. When In health death seems terrible,' but when you suffer like 1 have it is different. 1 ’ Friends gave her money to buy any thing she might desir e but she said “I want to buy rugs for the parsonage 'with the money. If I live I will enjoy the rugs, if 1 do not live I will hav< a mansion, and 1 want the children tc have the rugs.” And she never le; up about th e rugs until as late as las Friday afternoon, a week ago this bwr, she was buying rugs in a ioca ~t<,re, she etioos'- the de signs herself in the store. How she enjoyed her* friends. When her critical condition wag realized by they knew .that r JfrJ..nd* al! that was left in life for her and no one was denied seeing her And no one ever stayed long enough to suit her. She would alwayi say. "Don't go yet, don’t go.” Her keen sense of humor never left her. Her wit was sparkling, het humor surprising and charming. Nt one came, be they doctors or friends hut that she had them laughing from the time they entered the room until they left, it was one of th e cases in the burning desert through which family and friends were passing. Those were glorious hours of pray er and testimony. She would look forward to the coming of those whe irayed with her, Brothers Blanchard Hicks, Bower, and Miss Robinson, her bosom friend, and always when con scious she would join in singing and in prayer. Not once did she fail even when strength was almost gone she would join in, "Wonderful Saviour, Wonderful Saviour, Thou art so dear, so precious to mi Wonderful Saviour, Wonderful Saviour, Thy precious blood now maketh -utt free!" And then Brother Bower, who more fitquently visited, because more conveniently circumstanced, would lead in, "Have thine own way, Lord, have thine own way! Thou art the Potter, I am the clay!" or, "Redeemed how I love to proclaim it, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb!" and she sang it with a faith that was heartening. One day she said, “One of the flrsi things I want to do when I get tc Heaven is to have Bruce Evans sing his song, “His Grace is Enough For Me,’’ and I am going to play it for him while he sings!” She found great comfort in the Scriptures. She would quote, "By grace are ye saved, through faith, and

that not of yourselves it is the gift 1 , of God." her favorite verse. And then 1 1 she quoted. “I will both lay me down in peace and sleep, for thou only.j Lord makeet me dwell in safety." One day her tuith was tried by questioning She was asked, “Mae, are you trusting Him?” And she immediately replied. "Surely " She was j , asked. "If you had all of life to live again would you be a Christian just as you have been?" "I surely would," was the ready reply. Waking to consiousness after a day and a night of suffering she said, "My Jesus, thou art mine!" and then looking Into the eyes of the ones she I loved most she said. "Daddy, is He mine?" "He certainly is,” she was assured, and then she tell immediately into a natural sleep Often she said, "Daddy. I hate to leave you and | the children, but it will not be long , until you come.” , Her last conscious moment was for pride and concern tor her children. , At 10:30 Monday even when a son had placed in a swimming contest ( and she was aroused with, "Mama, Merrill won in the swimming meet ( fonight,” she smiled and said. “Oh. did he, well what did Maurice do?” She had often said, "1 will be with I friends, Bruce Evans. Mrs. Wicks and many others.” and those who knew ’ of the last victorious weeks as well ( as the entire victorious life have nc ( doubt but that her prophecy is now .. fulfilled. ' The funeral service was held at the ( First Methodist Episcopal church San Fernando. Calif. The above , obituary was read by Dr. A. J. Hughes District Supt. Rev. Guy M. Mcßridt whose original home was in Bluffton . Indiana, where we hnew his people, lead in a tender and helpful prayet Rev.

Sept. 15.—Abundant rainfall and temperatrres higher than normal In August changed the bloomy _ corn outlook, of last month, and the , forecast released today at the depart- ( ment of agrtculural “-tatlstics of the Purdue agricultural experiment station indicates a prr-di’ctlon of 170.694.000 bushels of torn in Indiana this year, with condition 10 points better than the July forecast. Com Is rather 1 green and the usual fear of frost is 1 expressed by growers. The conditions favorable for coin were very unfavorable for oats In the shock and the prospective out turn for this crop is much lower. The drop in condition is seven points and the forecast 11 per cent lower or 63.01?,000 bushels. Continu'd rains since September 1 have probably increased the damage since the report was com piled. A slight improvement was shown ( In hay crops and » marked one in pasture, especially in the southwest. Fruits continued tc improve in August as in prior months this summer, which is contrary to the usual exper- i ience. The rise adds 352.000 bushels j to the forecast for apples; 63,000 bu- ; iheJs to the peach forecast and 79,000 I tons of grapes to the grape forecast.

She was purchased for S6O by Jenkins Brothers two years ago. Her first litter she farrowed and raised only four pigs. The second litter she farrowed nine and raised all of them. The third litter, the new world record litter, she farrowed 18, one of them dead at birth. All the others were strong, thrifty pigs. Another Sow Helps “Much of the credit for feeding and handling the litter must go to Ben Sanders, our her-istnan," says Jenkins Brothers, “Ben was on hand when the sow farrowed. Another sow was farrowing at the same time. Six of the 10 pigs in this latter litter were born dead. Ben transferred six of the litter of 17 to this sow, and the sow that farrowtd .he record litter raised 11 es the 17 pigs.

An oats and bran ration was ted during the farrowing and for a few days afterwards. This was gradu- ( ally changed to corn, oats and tank- ( age ration, and by the time the pigs; ( were three weeks old the change had j ( been completed They Fed Themselves "The pigs were cracked corn. A Utt'-e later on shelled I corn and tankage were placed in a| ( self-feeder, where they could eat all, they wanted. Corn and tankage self-,, fed were continued throughout the' feeding period. Shortly after starting with cracked corn, a slop of ground ' corn, oats, tankage and skim milk was added to the ration This slop was fed three times a day, in addition to corn and takn.iee in the self-feeder, throughout the f«*eding period."

«d. In these schools last year, there were 1,129 Instructors who, practical ly all, gave their time gratuitously or for a nominal remuneration Among lheni are some of the greatest educators in America. This indicates something of the value in which they bold the schools. No instructor has been paid here in the Decatur school; all have willingly given their time. Practically all the ministers of the city have been in the school, most of them as teachers. Their enthusiasm is very great.
