Frank Floyd Runiaejr.

Frank Floyd Rumsey, the only son of Amer and Rhoda Rumsey, was born in Dearborn County, Indiana, January 2(1. 1880; died at the home of his parents near Manchester, November 8, 1908: aged 28 years, 9 months and 12 days. He was united in marriage to Goldie M. Alspaugh, of Greencastle, March 22, 1904. To this union was born one son, Carl Amer. Together with the wife are left to mourn their loss a loving mother, an anxious father, two devoted sisters and a great circle of relatives and friends mingle their tears of sympathy and sorrow with those who mourn for our brother. He was a kind son, a faithful husband and a worthy neighbor. He united with the I. O. O. F. Lodge becoming a member of Manchester Lodge, No. til 3, and to the day of his death proved an acceptable and worthy member. He was also a member of Celestial Rehekah Lodge, No. 435. He received his education in the common schools of Dearborn County at Moores Hill College* and Central Normal College at Danville. He was for years a teacher in the public school and had begun teaching at Kyle when after a week he was stricken with typhoid fever and after a seige of four weeks the battle turned against him and his loved ones to whom he was compelled to say Good-bye but as he came to realize that the end of the struggle was nigh, he called his loved ones to him and assured them that all was well. Jesus says lie has forgiven all my sins and while I hate to leave you all, yet It is all right. I’h meet you all over yonder, and holding the hands of his wife and mother he sang as with the voice of one in touch with the Divine “O Happy Day That Fixed My Choice on Thee My Saviour and My God." His life went out amid the sorrow of the present and disappointments of the past, hut waving his feeble hand to his weeping loved ones whispering good-bye and went home with Him who said “I go to prepare a place for you, and ; - epa re a place, I will come J again and receive you unto Myself • | that where I am you may be also.” Funeral was held at Manchester M. E. Church, November It, Rev. D. I.. Vandament of Greencastle officiating. His remains were laid in the

cemetery nearby.

The much-talked of inventory of the nation’s resources is now practically completed. To consider the ma-1 terial it has brought together the National Conservation Commission has just announced its first full meeting for Tuesday, December 1, in Washington. At that meeting the first steps will be taken toward putting into tangible shape the results of the six months’ hard work on taking stock of the country’s waters,

foiests, lands and minerals.

One week later, after the commission lias gone over the inventory, it will hold a Joint meeting in Washington with the Governors of the Stales and Territories, or their representatives. At tills meeting the inventory w'll be further discussed and the report which the President has requested the Commission to make to him by January 1, will be formulated. With less than six months in which to make the inventory, the loir branches into which the Commission is divided, aided by the cooperation of the Government departments, have brought together what is probably the most useful collection of facts about the material tilings on which national industry and progress are based that has ever been assem bled at one time. Reports presenting these facts and pointing out their significance have been prepared. Those reports, summarized and indexed, will be submitted to the Commission

at its coming meeting.

All through the summer general interest in the wor kand object of the i Conservation Commission has been 1 growing. The public is now well j posted on a subject of which only a few specialists had knowledge at the time of the Conference of Governors and experts at the White House, in

May.

The Governors carried the spirit of the conference home with them to their own people, and have kept things moving ever since by appointing State Commissions to study local problems, by writing and speaking upon the subjects of conservation, and by keeping in close and helpful touch with the National Commission. They are ready to take part in the approaching joint meeting. The bare announcement that it had been set for December 8 resulted in a number of acceptances before the formal fnvl- , tation of the Commission had even

got into the malls.
