McADOO CALLS ON INDIANA TO FULFILL W. S. S. PLEDGES

South Bend, Dec. 6.—William G. McAdoo, secretary of the United State etreasury, today sent a message .to J. D. Oliver, director of War Savings Stamps sales in Indiana, urging this state, with other states, to fulfill its stamp pledges before the end of 1918. The message is as follows: “I most earnestly urge upon you that your organization make every possible effort to the end that pledges for the purchase of War Savings Stamps be fulfilled before the -clbSe of the year. The government monetary requirements were never greater nor more pressing than they are today. Expenditures for November were greater than in any similar period. “These expenditures, growing out of the war, must be met by borrowing from the people, and their magnificent response heretofore to the gov- 1 ernm ent’s (requirements makes me confident that they will not fail to continue their support, ter the end that all payments resulting from war necessities will be promptly met. Much remains to be done. Our brave troops must be maintained and paid until their work is fully accomplished and they are returned to their homes. “Thie is not a time for us to relax our efforts and the Treasury Department is making plans for larger and even more important work during the doming year. Please make effort to bring this statement before the people in your district and to urge upon them the continued holding of their War Savings certificates, the fulfillment of their pledges, and additional purchases as their means permit.”

From the W. F. M. S. of the M. E. church, in memory of Mrs. Jennie Wishard: In our little group today we find a vacant chair. We are missing one who has mingled with us for many I years. She has left us and gone to a I land where there is no night. Though absent in body she is not forgotten, and the many things she has said and done will live in our memories for years to come. In the death of "Mrs. Wishard, we have lost a faithful member—one who was ever at her post of duty and willing to do whatever She could for the good of our society, in the interests of which She was most faithfully devoted.

Her pleasant way and the sunshine in her disposition always made her a welcome guest and a willing worker. There is a saying that, ‘"The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof,” and that saying is fully demonstrated in the living of religion. The proof is fully tested when one has lived the life that Mrs. Wishard did—-it proves to the world that it is good to live by and good to die by. There is no better test of religion than to just live it day by day. And that is what Mrs. Wishahrd did—she relied on the many promises which she found comfort in. And when the final summons came and she was called up higher, though alone and in the dark, I am sure she was found ready and that her pilot steered her straight to the “home of many mansions,” prepared for her and for her pleasures through all eternity. Let us cherish her memory. Let us imitate her life and be as steadfast, and all will be well with us. —(Contributed.

A TRIBUTE.

RENSSELAER. INDIANA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1918.

HAS FALLEN IN FRANCE

DWIGHT F. LAMSON MADE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN FRANCE OCTOBER 30.

Little ißiver Monitor, Little Rivier, Kansas:—-This part of Rice county was saddened about two weeks ago when a cablegram announced that jiwight F. Lamson, son of Charles E. Lamson, had (been wounded in France about the middle Of September, then Shocked ’and grieved to hear last Thursday evening that he had died in a 'base hospital October 30. Dwight was born in GoOdland, Indana, September 3, 1891, and was 27 years, one month and 27 days old at the time of his death. His father brought him to Rice county in 1897, Where he spent his summer vacation but laved with his aunt, ‘Mrs. Ella Snodgrass, in Manhattan, during the school term and attended school there ■two years. He then made his permanent home with his father and here completed the common school in his home district and took three years training in the Little River high school. He was a member Of the Methodlist church, the Sunday school and the Epworth league in Lttle River, and for several months before be entered the army he was greatly interested in the different lilies of church work. He often told his pastor that he wanted to do something to help soiffeone, and last January he handed him $lO with which to send ten Epworth Heralds to ten soldiers for a year. y e also bought twelve little red. chans for the Beginners’ department of the Sunday school. He gave away a umber of bibles and made other gifts to religious and charitable work. Dwight entrained for Camp Funston April 28, 1918, where he was inducted into the service of his country. On the 24th of May he left for Camp Mills, New York, from which place he embarked for France about the first of June. He was Wounded in action in the right shoulder by a gunshot, and after he had undergone two operations he passed away at base hospital No. 28. „ . The Methodist service flag m Little River contains one red cross and thir-ty-four Stars, the majority of which are red, indicating service overseas. Jut in the center of this beautiful flag, that is more precious to the members and friends of the church than earthly wealth, ife a /golden star for Dwight F. Lamsbn. This community has donated liberally to the Y. M. C. A„ Red Cross and other war charities, and “gone over the top with every loan, but Dwight has made le supreme sacrifice, beyond which lere can be nb greater. To his father, aunts and cousins, who were crushed by that last cablegram from France, we commend the words of Shelley engraved on the monument over the grave of Keats, in the cemetery at Rome: , “Peaqe, peace, he is not dead, he doth n*ot He hath awakened from the dream of Ife; *Tis we, who, lost in stormy visions, keep With phantoms an unprofitable strife.” .. „ J. E. Lamson, of this aty, and C. E. Lamson are cousins.

FORTY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF LITERARY CLUB OBSERVED

The forty-first anniversary of the Ladies’ Literary chib was observed in an interesting and entertaining manner in the spacious and beautiful home of Mrs. Oren Parker. In observance of the occasion Mrs. J. Medicus, a charter member of the club, read an original poem of one of the founders of the organization, the late Mrs. Mary E. Thompson, which had been composed on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the chib, and to which the. reader ‘had added a stanza suited to the present occasion. The musical numbers were two vocal numbers —(a) Allah Be With Us, by Charles Lowne; (b) Oh Heart of Mine, by James Whitcomb Riley. Both were given in a pleasing manner by Mrs. J. A. Dunlap. Several Victrola numbers were furnished by the hostess. . „ The talk on Constructive Patriotism, by Mrs. A. R. Hopkins, was given in her usual excellent way. After ■reviewing the growth of the ideal of liberty in this, our favored land, as well a sin the nations of Europe, she drew the conclusions that four things are necessary to the growth of this ideal. First—A land. Secbnd —A people. Third—■lnstitutions. And fourth—A superior type of womanhood. No country can rise higher than the intellectual and moral ideals of its women; therefore, a democracy, if it would continue to exist, must give its women an equal chance for development. ■Mrs. J. D. Allman gave a most interesting and comprehensive report of the State Federation meeting at Indianapolis, which she attended last month. On account of the “flu” epidemic the attendance was but one hundred and twenty-seven, and these abiding by the rules of the health authorities and wearing masks at every session were so uncomfortable and ill at eart that they could hardly enjoy the small part of the program that could be given; so much of what had been planned being impossible. Mrs. Allman stated that from the humorous remarks of the various speakers she felt sure they must have presented a very grotesque picture as they sat with masked countenances through the various sessions. The program was concluded by a historical account of the custom of •singing Chrirtmas carols. Two new members were accepted, Mrs. Kratli and Mrs. W. E. Parkinson. —Contributed.

16,000 CASUALTIES STILL UNREPORTED

Washington, Dec. B.—The War Department announced today that 16,000 major casualties, including killed in action, died of wounds, die< of disease or other causes, severely wounded and missing, have not ye; been finally reported to the next of kin. The arrears in minor casualties are much larger, it was adedd. From cable reports now expected, the department hopes to clear up the arrears in major casualties iwithdn a week, except for a few names with respect to which identification has not yet been completed. The minor casualties not yet reported represent slight wounds, involving relatively brief disablements, and in most cases the men sustaining them have already been healed.

CHURCH UNION FAVORED.

Philadelphia, Dec.] 6.—The proposed federation of churches was approved and resolutions recommending the appointment of an interdenominational committee of every Protestant faith and of the home and foreign missionary societies, to take definite steps toward organic church un;ion, were unanimously adopted by the Congress for Church Union, in session here. Each denomination wfll ! iave one member on this committee for every 600,000 communic&nts, acting as delegates-at-large to a convention to be held in 1920, when it is proposed to take decisive action on the question. The home and foreign missionary societies also will be represented by one member each. Although the federation would have concrete form and advisory power over its members, the resolutions set forth, the union would be spiritual rather than material. No mechanical change in the form of administration or form of service would be made by individual churches, according to the resolutions. “This is the most significant step the church has taken since the Reformation,” said the Rev. W. Chapman.

OBITUARY.

Francine Allen was born in Union county, Ohio, November 29, 1861, and died at her home in Fair Oaks, Ind., Dec. 2, 1918, of heart failure, at the age of 67 years and three days.

While yet a small child her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Keener, emigrated in the year 1866 to Indiana and settled on a piece of raw land now adjoining the village of Virgie, where Francina grew into girlhood. The country, it must be remembered, was and almost uninhabitable region and while her parents did all in .their power to give their two children the advantages of an education, the conditions surrounding them were such that the very best they could do would be considered in these days as very meager. Only those who have passed through the loneliness and disadvantages of child life know how to sympathize with her who has passed into that great and mysterious life which lies (beyond bur mortal vision.

Mrs. Allen was married to J. M. Alien January 4, 1906, and moved to Davenport, lowa, where She resided five years, returning to Fair Oaks Sept. 1, 1909, where she has since resided. Mrs. Alien was the mother of four children, Mrs. Rose Isaacs (deceased), Mrs. John Gilmore, Mrs. Joseph Winslow and Jacob Spitzer, all of Fair Oaks. In addition to the above mentioned children she leaves to mourn their loss ‘her husband, J. M. Allen, and six grandchildren. One grandchild, Jenings Winslow, departed this life but a few weeks ago at Fair Oaks.

Mrs. Allen united with the Methodist church Jan. 4, 1906. She possessed many generous traits of character that endeared her to those who were fortunate enough to enjoy her acquaintance, and will long be remembered by the early settlers in and around Fair Oaks.
