Mr. Best said he was safe in saying that there were 80 0 autos there and a large crowd of people, notwithstanding the down pour of rain all the afternoon.

It will be remembered that Mr. AVhaley was nearly killed and was left in a crippled condition from being struck by a train at a crossing near Beaver City last year. OBITUARY Again the grim reaper has visited us arid taken from our midst one of our highly esteemed citizens, William Wilson Ballinger, son of James and Susannah Ballinger. He was born August 16, 1537, at Winamac and departed this life at his home in Kniman, September 24, 1916, at the age of 79 years, 1 month and 9 days. He was one of a family of six children, two boys and four girls, all of whom have preceded him to the great beyond. At the age of 9 years, he with his parents moved to Miami county where his father engaged in farming. In 1856 he came to Jagner

county and located near Wheatfield, where he engaged in farming. iHe was united in marriage in 186 7 to Mrs. Alary Jane Armstrong, a widow with three small children. To this union were born five children, two sons and three daughters: John W., who died in infancy, and Olive N. at the age of 24 years; Airs. John McGlinn of Rensselaer, Airs. Charles Holle of Uniman and Jesse AV. Ballinger o' AVheatfield. The stepsons, all of whom survive, are Leroy Armstrong of Gervais, Oregon; Alonzo Armstrong of Peru, Indiana, and Charles Armstrong of Kniman.

He came to Walker township in 1881 and located on a farm near Kniman until his health failed, after which he moved to Kniman where he had since conducted a grocery store.

He was raised strictly by parents of the Quaker ‘faith, and in early days his home was the meeting place of the Christian people. The Bible, handed him by his mother on her_ death bed, was his guide through life. Although his suffering the past year was great he bone it patiently and his faith never wavered.

He leaves to mourn his loss his aged widow, three children, three stepsons, thirty-one grandchildren and three great grandchildren, besides a host of relatives and friends. The funeral took place Wednesday at 2:30 p. m. A large congregation assembled at the Alethodist church where they listened to an excellent sermon by Rev. Flinireer. Interment took place in the Guard cemetery. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express Our heartfelt thanks to our many friends and neighbors who assisted m- so kindly in our late bereavement.—AlßS, AVAL BALLINGER AND CHILDREN.

Harry Hooper of the Red Sox. Harry Hooper, right fielder for the Boston American league team. Is generally conceded to be one of the smartest outer gardeners in the game.

ity. His first professional engagement was with Sacramento, CaL, in 1907. He was purchased from the coast team by John L. Taylor, then owner of the Red Sox, and became a regular in 1909. He made good at once and is now considered invaluable by Manager Carrigan. Caldwell Not to Be Traded. Ray Caldwell has been suspended the Yanks have had several offers of trade for him, but Alanager Donovan says be will not consider any trade for the erratic right hander. However, if Colonel Ruppert has his way about it Caldwell will probably not pitch another game this year. It is understood the Yankee president is for setting him down for the season.

Rule Bows to Injury. In a recent Columbus-Alilwaukee game the rule that a pitcher must dispose of his first batter was broken through force of circumstances. Irving Young had been called in as relief pitcher by Milwaukee. He pitched one ball to his first batter and in doing so strained a leg so that he could not continue. By consent he retired then and there. Ward a Great Sprinter. "One of the greatest sprinters in the making the country has ever seeu,” is the opinion passed by the closest students of track and field athletics upon A. E. Ward, the young Chicago A. A. runner who captured both the 100 and 220 yard championship races at the A. A. U. national championships at Newark, N. J., recently.

SILVER LINING.

Sad heart, sad heart. Cease thy repining. The clouds, though dark, Have silver lining. Thou mayst have lost All that seems dear. Thy soul may faint With doubt and fear. Yet know, oh, heart, God’s guiding will Is round about His children still!

To Promote Sheep Raising.

That is a most interesting experiment in sbeep raising in Pennsylvania which the department of agriculture at Harrisburg is arranging to conduct. Business men and bankers are to provide 5,000 thrifty ewes. Charles E. Patton, secretary of agriculture, has issued circulars to the farmers in all the counties of Pennsylvania offering to let each applicant have ten of these ewes for breeding purposes. It is planned that the farmer shall receive all the wool produced by the ewes and that half the number of lambs when ready for market will belong to the farmer and the other half to the s owners of the original stock. Details have been outlined on an equitable basis whereby in cases where lambs died from disease or were worried by sheep the farmer is to be guaranteed against loss.'

The Fringed Gentian. Children gladly welcome you, Blossoms of the royal hue, Brightening the dullest room With your wealth of piirple bloom. On damp glebe or mossy ground In the autumn are you found. Opening your chalice tall Where the cheerful sunbeams fall. When the summer flowers fade You adorn the narrow glade, Weaving in your texture bright Sapphire from the streams of light. Children linger where you grow And your green leaves are aglow With the message from above Teaching us that life is Joie.
