June Weddings

Call for life insurance. Marriage is a promise to protect and a contract to support. The faithful, loving husband recognizes that this contract extends beyond his own life, and that through life insurance alone he may be able to discharge the obligation. "The. best way to teach a virtue is !0 live it."

The virtue of life insurance is never seen except through those who practiced it. and applied it to theirs and their family's needs, rlufford's Agency is located at 118 West Main. dtlwtl

HARD Oil EGG DEALERS

And As a Result State Food and Drug Commissioner is Receiving Many Communications.

Egg dealers of the state are petitioning the Stale Food and Drug Department of the State Board of Health for relief in the present egg season from observing the conditions of the new law governing the sale of bad eggs. In the petitions the buyers set out that the farmers, who supply the bulk of eggs purchased at this time of the year, are unacquainted with the law on the subject, and that if it is enforced to the letter it would cause the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to Ihe farmers and dealers.

H. E. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner, said he could not suspend the law, but he prepared to assist the dealers in educating the farmers as to how to handle eygs. Placards containing the new law, which provides for punishing any person who sells a bad egg, and oilier placards directing the farmers as to the best methods of gathering and disposing of eggs, have been printed and will be distributed by drivers of huckster wagons at every farmhouse where eggs are purchased.

The dealers who petitioned Mr. Barnard said that when they refused to purchase eggs from farmers where the farmers would not submit to the candling test, or would not handle their eggs properly, the farmers would laugh at them and tell them they knew hucksters who would buy the eggs, even if the high grade buyers would not take them. The dealers say there are hundreds of hucksters going about the state who pay the market price for eggs, and who will buy any kind of eggs the farmers and dealers happen to have about, and no questions asked.

EARTH WILL GROW COLD, PEOPLE WILL PERISH.

End oll the World is Predicted By Grant County Woman Prophet For June 10th.

Mrs. Sarah Spence, of Herbst, Grant county, a weather prophet and seeress of local fame, forecasts the end of the world June 10th. On that dale, she says, the sun will sink rapidly in the west (it would, indeed, augur ill if it were to set in the east), the earth will grow cold —that's what most people are hoping during this hot weather—and all the people will perish. For the past twenty years Mrs. Spence has been predicting such dire things, and her latest prophecy leads to the belief that she is merely "under the weather."

Parental Authority.

At the international congress of child welfare, held in Washington one of the speakers said the fault of letting a child do as it pleases is responsible for corruption, dishonesty, vice, and the low standards of citizenship that prevail in many quarters. Parental authority is taking a back seat these days. And what has taken its place? Just look at the blandishments around. They have pushed the parent aside —the shows, the sports, the street corners, the trashy novels, the cigarette and the obscene picture and story. Wouldn't it be well, while we are figuring on great reforms, that parental authority be one of thenr? That is just as important as fresh air, the playground, or the individual drinking cups. In fact, when parental authority goes, everything goes. We must not make a mistake as to what parental auhority is. It is not a club nor a straitjacket. It is the child's moral and emotional activities, trained in the right direction by the love and assocation of the parent. It is the salvation of both parent and child. —Ohio Slate Journal.

Font' Hundred Ducklings Roasted. Rushville, Ind.—Fire, believed to be of incendiary origin, destroyed the fowl hatchery of Earl Kitchen yesterday at a loss of $1,800, with no insurance. Four hundred young ducks were roasted to death.

A LETTER

VIRGINIA MORTON EIILERT, FORMERLY OF THIS CITY, TELLS HER HOME AND WORK

IN ALASKA.

HUSBAND IS 1NPIAN TEACHER

Will Leave in June for Seattle, Washington—Temperature Was Twenty Degrees Below Zero on April 10th—Enjoying Best of Health.

The following letter from Mrs. Virginia Morton Ehlert, formerly of this city, but now at Koyukuk, Alaska, where her husband is a teacher of the Indian children, will be of interest to Greenfield people. The letter was written to Mrs. Gertrude Gorman and is in part as foliows: "The sun shines so bright on the snow here that they all wear dark glasses when they walk or ride around. If they didn't they would go snow blind. "Not long ago one of the soldiers took us for a long ride. There is a trail through the woods and it is just like a little path with trees on both sides. On the trail where the dogs run the snow is hard, but if you go near the edge you go down in the snow three or four feet. "Yesteray we went up the river a mile and a half. One of the Indian dogs followed us there and back. I guess he wanted to go walking, too. "It was twenty degrees below zero early this morning, but in an hour had gone up to zero, so we think it will be quite warm before the day is over. I shall be so glad when the snow goes and steamboats begin to run. Just as soon as the ice breaks and the upper river is clear the small steamboats will make trips to the mining districts south of here and up the Koyukuk.

But it will be the middle of June before the big steamers can reach the mouth of the Yukon. "A great many are predicting high waters when the ice breaks, because we have had so much snow, but some of the Indians say Ihe ice is thin so the water won't be high like it was last year. They say that the snow is not so deep near the mountains as it is here. "Last munih tho Indians were away honing, so there was no school. So ne of them are back now, and Mr. Eble H, had a few days of school, but iney keep going and coming so only a few children are here at a time. But there are enough older people here to keep Mr. Ehlert busy. They have been wanting medicine. One crazy or half-witted Indian from Nulal.o is here with his daughter who is sick with tuberculosis. She is about dead, but he wanted the doctor from Nulato, so we sent for him. He came last night and will look after the sick people. "We will not get back to Indiana this summer, as we have decided to stay in Washington next year. We think there are better opportunities there than in Greenfield. My husband spent a year there before coming to Alaska. We think my health will be better then than it was in Indiana. Alaska has done me so much good and I am ever so much stronger than last year. "You ask if I ever gel homesick to see white women and children. I certainly do, although Miss MacCormac, the teacher from London, spent a week with us at holidays. "When we leave here in June we are going down Ihe river to Nome, then 011 the ocean to Seattle."

Rats in New Stunt.

Farmers are at a loss to know what is causing rats to -act so peculiarly. There seems to be a scarcity of them about their barns, bu^t this year they are finding them in their fields and along ditches. They dig holes in the ground and burrow like moles and musk rats. Some believe the hot weather of the past few weeks and the scarcity of water about the barns have caused Ihem to seek the open fields and the ditch banks. Those who are superstituious are prophesying that some dire calamity is about to overtake this community, but of course none is able to tell just what may be expected.—Tipton Advocate.

Former Legislator Dies. Nathan Weeks, of Rushville, died Monday, age 70 years. The deceased was a Republican member of the recent Legislature. He was known as a politician, lodge man, merchant and churchman. He had been sick for some time.
