OBITUARY OF MRS. ARTHUR WAYIMRE.

Mrs. Arthur Waymire was born in Barkley tp., Jasper county, Ind., Oct. 8, 1887, and departed this life August 11, 1911, at the age of 23 years, 10 months and 3 days. She was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Payne. On January 1, 1907, she was united in marriage to Arthur 'Waymire, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Waymire. To this ■ union a son was b'orn March 5, 11908. j At the age of 13 she joined the M. E. church and was a faithful and devoted member, a willing and valuable helper in all I the department of the church ! activities. A wife she was true and devoted to her husband, sharing with all his duties and responsibilities, making the home happy and cheerful. As daughter she was loving, affectionate and respectful to her parents. Her quiet and kind disposition easily won the friendship of all who knew her. Her sickness, which was Bright’s disease, began early in January, and developed to such extent that soon became beyond human control. All that husband, parents and relatives could do to minister to her comfort and gain her recovery was done. She went for four weeks to the hospital in Chicago, and was Under the care of specialists and special nurses, and yet of no avail. When she came back she seemed better, but on August 10- she suffered a relapse and the next day passed to her great reward, surrounded by her loved ones.

During all her sickness she never uttered a word of complaint or discouragement, having complete trust that all was for the best. She leaves to mourn her departure a husband, father and mother, brother Clifford, and’ a son Herold, besides hosts of relatives and friends. xx

Then nail the lid of a tin can under the mouth of the bottle, and enough water will escape to keep the little receptacle always full and be handy for the .chicks to get at whenever they want to liquidate their little bills. It goes without saying that the contraption should be kept in a cool, shady spot Taking Hi* Tim*. “It takes years to train a wife up to where she will be a man’s ideal.” “How long have you been married? “About ten years.” "Your wife must be well trained.” “No, I haven’t started yet” The New Exercise. “You are looking strong and robust Using dumbbells?” “No.” “Walking five miles a day?” “Not half a mile.’’ “How did you do itF “Swatting flies.’*

AVIATORS HURL ROMOS OF FLOUR

Mock Aero-Naval Battle Is Held in Chicago. TARGET DIAGRAM OF WARSHIP Motor Boat Patrol to Aid Avhu&rC in Case They Fall into Lake—Reward for Lost Biplane—Funerals of Aviators.

Chicago, Aug. 18.—Chicago had her first opportunity of judging the aeroplane’s usefulness in war when a mock aero-naval battle was given at Grant park. Scaring high in the air the aviators hurled projectiles at the diagram of a battleship marked out, turrets and all, npon the ground at the aviation field. The bombs thrown, instead of being filled with explcsHtesp.eontained flour. Striking the ground, they burst in a white cloud that resembled an explosion and also marked the spot of contact. In this way the percentage of accuracy which can be attained at various heights was gauged. In order to add to the safety of aviators forced to descend to the lake, or who might fall into the water, a motor boat patrol was placed on duty by Captain J. C. Cantwell of the United States retenie cutter Tuscarora. Captain Cantwell was assigned to pa--1 trol the lake to aid any aviator who ! might meet with an accident. | Fast power boats from the fleet of I the Columbia Yacht club were placed at his service, and the stretch between the Van Buren street gap and the four-mile crib will be carefully guarded. A reward of >SO was offered by the meet issociation for anyone who discovers the location of Lee Hammond’s Baldwin biplane, which plunged into the lake and sank on Monday. Hammond escaped uninjured, but has been unable to find a trace of his missing machine. The meet association will raise it, providing it can be found, and offers the reward in the hope that fishermen and power boat men will be induced to search for it. A committee composed of Charles E. Bartley, Frank E. Scott and D. B. Griffith was appointed by the meet association to attend the funeral of St. Croix Johnstone, the aviator who was killed on Tuesday. The association also sent eleborate floral pieces, and flowers were also sent to Pittsburg, where the funeral of William Badger was held.
