OBITUARY James W. Duncan, son of Toliver and Jemima Duncan was born April 19, 1871. in Marion town-hip, Putnam County, Indiana, and died at his home in Fillmore, July 6, 1932. Although Death has been as long in the world as Life, it is a presence with which we never quite become familiar. When death brings relief from suffering we do net deny it is a deliverer. But eve.i in that merci ful aspect it hoi as us awed and hushed. Mr. Duncan had been in failing health for some time and seriously ill for about one month, suffering intensely at times, but God permits uto suffer no hardships without Him. Mr. Duncan’s entire life has been spent in this community in which he had many friends. He w;>, endowed with a cheerful disposition and was friendly. “No task was too great for him to do, For those he loved—whose need he

knew.”

He joined the Fillmore Christian church at the age of 21. under the pastorate of Rev. O. P. Badger. He was married to Miss Ola Baldwin December 10, ^lO. To this union one sou. Russell, was horn. He was an employe of the Big Four railroad. Mr. Duncan is survived hy his wife and son, his age i mother Mrs. Jemima Duncan, two brothers, Charles' and Fred, all of Fillmore, and other telatives and friends. Words can not do much in trials Ijke this. “Where sorrow' si’s to mourn beside

a bier

How feeble in our gloom, do words appear.” Therefore w'e commend you to the Redeemer of the world who knows our griefs and can give u the comfoit we need. It R not given us to know whether Heaven is near er far away but "There is a stream that we all must

cross,

The liver of Human Years, Now h mg calm in the summer light, Now splashed with the rain of terns. Out from the Hill of God it flow-, And on to the shoreless sea. Where the noontide sun no shadow

throws

And time is eternity.” CARD OF IH INKS We wish t> thank each and every one who in any way assisted us during the sickness ami death of James W. Duncan. Also for the beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. J. W. Duncan and son Russell, Jemima and Charles Duncan. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Duncan.

CONFERENCE HELD HERE (Continued from page 1) not be improved w ithout the spirit of Christ which the church must spread over the world. The decline in missionary spirit throughout the churches is largely due to the rise of nationalism which has no concern for the well being of others thtin our own. The church needs to personalize her service by assuming definite projects. We can no longer think only of ourselves without losing our souls.” The conference went on record as opposed to repeal of the enforcement law against alcoholic beverages. It was pointed out that for the legislature to repeal this law and leave the burden on the federal government will be nullification of our responsibility in enforcement of the Ikth amendment. It would result in Indiana officials assuming no re-ponsi-bility for enforcement and our having the same conditions as exists in New Yoik state, Connecticut and New Jersey. This protest was s fi nt to the -late assembly and to the governor. Luncheon was served at noon hy the section of the Wonman’s League with Mrs. E- E. Bash as leader. There were several brief talks at the luncheon table. Rev. H. L. Davis spoke on the “Cause of the Retired Minister”; Rev. Vernon Hackley spoke on the Wesley foundation work at Purdue university; and Rev. Albert F. Monger, pastor of the local church, spoke of the Greencastle Methodist church, its work with students and relation -hip to the Methodists of Indiana. He announced the appointment of n committee of a minister and layman of each of the three conference in the state, a committee of three trustees of the university and the local church comVnittee to present to the state council of Indiana Methodists a financial program for payment of the church debt.

COYOTE BANDS SLAY DEER AT NATIONAL RESERVATION HOLLISTER. Cal., (UP)-Coyote hands, led by gaunt, gray ptairie wolves, are slaughtering the deei herds of Pinnacle- national monument, visitors to the reservation report. F’earing the deer would lie completely wiped out, national park authorities sent a government trapper into the reservation several monthago. He caught 40 coyotes an 1 three prairie wolves. The lecent discovery of eight carcasses of deer slaughtered by coyotes and wolves, however, has caused Pinnacles officials to renew their trapping activities.

Then Ken loses his position and. one night, Lily Lou hears him sobbing. Next day. Ken's father rails and informs Lily Lou her marriage has been annulled.

paiiist and promises to give her si ging lessons. At times, Lily Lou ihappy visioning a successful career but there are also hours of anguish when she thinks of her baby and feels so lonely without keu.Oneday. Nita Nahlman. the popular opera singer and Lily Lou's idol, calls on Gwin. After hearing Lily l.ou -ing. she otTers to take her to Europe. LUy Lou is in seventh heaven. CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX Mrs. Manchester was d.dighted. “Madame Nahlman! Really!” “Manchester gets a second-band kick out of everything we do,” Muxine said. Maxine did not show much surprise at the news, but nothing surprised Maxine very much. She made a great fuss about Lily Lou's good luck, and dragged all her clothes out of the closet to help her pack, then remembered an engagement, and went off in the midst of it. Nobody really cared very much what happened to you, here in New

York.

Not even Gwin. He was delighted in a way, but in another way he didn't seem to cure. The same with Madame Nahlman. Offer you the other bed in her de luxe stateroom on the ship, promise to tutor you in Paris, and then seem to forget all about you. Lily Lou flew to get her passport, her visas, to buy the little extra things one always needs, to draw out the $150 ctill left in the bank. She was going to Europe with Nita Nahlman. She, Lily Lou Lansing from Woodlake. . . . She hurried with her packing, her last minute ironing. She wanted time to write a long letter to May. A little smile trembled ot the corner of her mouth as she wrote. A sly little smile of triumph. . . . May knew a' girl who had a friend who worked on a newspaper. May would tell her friend, and the friend would tell her friend, and it would be in the paper, probably with that picture she had taken the year she was eighteen. She had changed a lot since then, but Ken would remember her more like that, so it was just as well. . . . She couldn’t help wanting Ken to know. There wasn’t any harm in that. Not even Peggy Sage could object to that ... to his reading about her ia a paper . . . She went to her bureau and took out the four newspaper clippings ihe had bidden under her hund--prehtefs.

She had let him convince her. bc- * iiise she wanted to he convinced. She couldn’t give it up Think of it . . . the chance to get away from New York, away from all the prying eyes ... It would he easy to shp away later, plead ill health perhaps, go to that hospital in Neuilly. . . . Nahlman need never really know. She'd have enough money— $150 left of Ken's father’s money, and over a hundred in currency, saved from her salary from Gwin, and a twenty dollar muitey order her mother hud sent her for her birthday, and American money goes far in Europe now. Besides, Nahlman said that she wouldn't need money—none at all Yes, and that was just it. How could she let Nahlman pay all her expenses, and not tell her the truth? She’d never take her if she knew. Might as well give it up right now. Hut how could she back out of it now, with Maxine already counting on bringing Frances over to take her place? People always are so disgusted with you when you say you're going somewhere, and then you don’t . . . Lily Lou walked up ami down the small green and white room, stepping over little heaps «f shoes and boxes and tissue paper on the floor. She put her old lace dress in the trunk, and saw her mother making it, holding the needle and material too close to her tired eyes. . . . The Woodlake conscience triumphed. She wasn't ashamed of having a baby, she bad been married, by a minister... . But to cheat Madame Nahlman. , . • No, she couldn’t do that. She put on her hat and coat and called a taxi, glorying in her courage and extravagance. She drove up to the hotel In great style, and sailed, head high, eyes bright, to the desk. Madame Nahlman was out. Back home. A sleepless night. In the morning she went early to the hotel. Madame Nahlman was

resting.

“I’ll wait,” she said.

She sat alone in the lobby, surrounded by empty chairs, and general air of waiting. A green uniformed porter languidly dusted tables, straightened chairs. Two bellhops drowsed on a bench. At ten Madame Nahlman answered the telephone herself. Lily Lou went up. Madanj^ was

“I'll send for some breakfast fo* you ... a cup of coffee, some brioche!" Lily Lou was too shy. She said she hail had breakfast. Then she sat and watched Madame Nahlman eat. It took a long while to gather courage to say vv hat she had come to say. Madame• Nahlman didn’t understand at first. She sat straight up in lied, her blue eyes wide, her long, reddish hair dragging her shoulders. Lily Lou tried again. This time there was no possible misunderstanding. Madame Nahliiian drained her coffee cup, put it down on the tray and stared at Lily l.ou for a long minute. Then she fell back on her pillow and -creamed with choking, gurgling laughter. She laughed until she cried, and Lily Lou had difficulty in not crying, too. ”0h!” she choked, “if that isn't the—the most—” When she quieted a little, Lily Lou rose to go. She was pale, and very calm. “I thought you’d feel that way,* she said. “It was nice of you to ask me to go, Madame Nahlman. I'm only sorry that it vvu n't po*. siblc—” Under the bright blue gaze of the hennaed prima donna she could hardly continue. She spread her hands, in a hopeless gesture. “You have changed your mind, you won’t come with me?” “Oh, no—I mean yes, of course I’d go, but how could I let you take me, when—when—” Madame Nahlman went off into another fit of laughter. She seemed to lie considering some private, priceless joke of her own. “Life! So complicated. . . . But never mind, you can have all the babies you want. Have twins!" Another gale of laughter. “AVe sail tonight, just the same, only you will lie seasick, my poor little girl. But never mind. That is life.” “I was married!” Lily l.ou cried desperately. “1 married a boy who was not quite twenty-one, and hi* parents had it annulled. So I left, and came to New York—” “Ah, yes. To the big city—” “No, not on that account. Hi* father—” His father is backing you? He has money?” The prima donna’* blue eyes had narrowed. This was no time to hedge. Lily Lou sensed that. “He ia a wealthy man," she said, "and he gave m* my train ticket gist and five hundred dollars. I h5ze $150 of it left. But I hope to send it all back to him as soon as 1 am earning a little more. I don’t know whether you'd say that was backing me or not ... is it?” “No. But the child. They will provide for it? You have a settlement? Or will they take it?" ’No! Oh, no. They don’t know about it. I didn't tell them. I have enough money—I can manage. I’ll go to some little place for a while in France—that is, if you'll take me—and then to the American hospital at Neuilly, and you won't be bot he red—really! ” “But you can't do that. You must write or wire immediately. A marriage can't be annulled when—” Madame Nahlman thrust one fat pink silk leg out of bed. Lily Lou had a vision of her wiring the Sargents, of old Mr. Sargent getting the news, and Ken and I’eggy cling-, ing together, cowering away from

it.

“No, I can’t tell them now. It'* too late. He’s engaged to be married again. Maybe he's married— for all I know—”
