When we will meet to part no more. ’ As the rolling stream at time roll on. But still the vacant chair Recalls the love, the voice, the smile. Os her who once sat there.

“THE SAFE SIDE OF LIFE” “During the Civil war a terrible battle raged all day between the armies of Lee and Grant. When the night shadows shut out the light, dead and dying were strewn for miles. Surgeons were busy and the chaplains were going their rounds. A chaplain heard a voice say in clarion tone ‘Here.’ “Going to the spot from whence the voice came and bending over the prostrate form of a dying soldier, the chaplain asked: ‘What can I do for you?’ ‘Nothing, sir; they were just calling the roll in Heaven, and I was answering to my name.’ “Blessed book, in which a dying soldier far away from home and loved ones can find enough truth and comfort from its precious promises to fit him to answer to the roll in heaven. We may not comprehend the full measure of faith, but we can grasp sufficient to be to our souls what the force of nature is to I trees, by which they stand w’ith their branches reaching skyward and their roots reaching earthcenterward. “Take from me this faith and you take away the best friend I ever had, the friend that stood by me in the darkest hour of my life, when the daughter in the bloom of womanhood said ‘Goodbye’ and went away to live with the angels; that stands by me now pointing to where my child is waiting for me in the bowers that kiss the very porch of Heaven. Without this faith, how awful would be the dirge, ‘earth to earth and dust to dust.’ Blessed book that tells us that we shall meet again ‘Beyond the river, where the surges cease to roll; that death is but the doorway to a better land, the grave a subway to a sweeter clime.’ “Accept this faith and you will find it a sweet companion up the hillward way of life, and down the sunset slope to the valley of death, where it will not leave nor forsake you, but will wait till you throw off your ‘burden of clay,’ then bear you away on its balmy wings to your eternal home. May you follow’ the safe side of life, that when the great trials come, you can with the wings of faith cleave the clouds and soar safely above the thunders that roll at your feet,” NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Notice is hereby given that the undersigned has been appointed by the Clerk of the Kosciusko circuit Court, in the State of Indiana, executor of the estate of Rachael A. Edgell, late of Kosciusko County, deceased. Said estate is supposed to be solvent CHARLES BOWERSOX, ' May 7, 1923. Executor. Geo. L.

SOUTH SYRACUSE Will Ray is having his house remodeled. It is about completed. Mrs. James Lauglin’s son and family and Bert Laughlin visited her Sunday afternoon. Rev. Smith of Avilla called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Warbel Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs, Millard Laughlin and little son Junior visited her grandmother, Mrs. Rookstool, on Sunday. I like to read the Syracuse Journal. It is just a fine wholesome paper. Try it and see for yourself. Daniel White was in our city Saturday looking after his property and took dinner at the Dan Warbel home. Mr. and Mrs. James Mick and family visited Mr. Mick s sister, Mrs. Lulu Flynn and family at Columbia City Sunday. Mrs. Velma Curr, who has been helping her grandmother, Mrs. John Evans clean her house, has gor®? to her home in Goshen. We had 103 in our Sunday school Sunday and there is still room for more. You are still invited to attend at the U. B. church unless you go somewhere else. Mr. Roser and family have moved to Garrett. We surely miss them as they had a fine grocery and did the right thing by their patrons. We wish them success. Mrs. Warbel took Sunday dinner at the George- Bailey home and in the afternoon called on the Hentzell family and also on the Zerbe family. It is a pitiful sight to see any one in such a critical condition as Mr. Zerbe is. It is touching, indeed. . o TO TEST GAS TAX LAW South Bend, Ind., May 15. — Bruce Gafill of South Bend, head of an oil company, today filed suit in the St. Joseph supreme court No. 2, asking for an injunction to prevent Robert Bracken, auditor, and Ira Davis, treasurer of the state of Indiana, from using money from the general fund of the state in preparations for the enforcement of the Indiana gasoline tax law. It is frankly admitted that the suit is filed for the purpose of testing the law, which is effective June 1. It is claimed that the law is unfair to operators of automobiles, because it discriminates against large counties in favor of small counties, that it makes no attempt to tex all users of roads alike and that the use of the funds of the state in preparations for the enforcement of the statue is a waste of public moneys. The case will be carried to the supreme court of Indiana and it will probably run into the fall months before a decision is reached. o ■ When the water is so hard it scratches the bath tub—use Blue Devil. 3*ll

AN APPEAL FOR DISABLED VETERANS Steps to prepare for the assimilation into civil life of the thousands of disabled veterans who will soon be ending their periods of training are urged by the Citizen’s Committee of America, in appeals addressed to President Harding, members of Congress and Governors of all the states. The time is fast approaching when the period of government provision for rehabilitation will be closed. During their training period these men have been receiving the generous assistance of the government in the form of compensation amounting to SIOO to $l7O a month. But when their training periods end they will suddenly be thrown upon their own resources, and the support of themseves and their families will become at once of greatest concern. Tlie problem is one for the American people to take up where the government left off. The veteran should not be enforced to endure further hardship by reason of his disability, or through lack sufficient training be deprived of obtaining suitable occupation. o ISLAND MADE PLEASURE SPOT A holiday on Robinson Crusoe’s island will be possible in the near future. The charming little island of Juan Fernandez, where Alexander Selkirk spent four years of his life, and whose story let Defoe to write his famous masterpiece, is to be transformed into a holiday resort. It belongs to the Chilian government and can be reached by steamer from Valparaiso. The island is thirty-six square miles in extent, and is heavily wooded with splendid tree ferns, orange trees, myrtles, and sandal wood. It is mountainous, and full of ravines and torrents. Crowds of wild goats roam through the underwood, and myriads of humming birds chat among the ferns. The climate is said to be ideal. At Cumberland bay, where Selkirk landed, is the island’s only hamlet, San Juan Baptista, A modern hotel is to be erected here, and a bi-weekly steamboat service is to be run. Naturally, the great curiosities of the island are the places where Robinson Crusoe, according to story, passed the best part of his life. First, there is the grotto where he made his dwelling, it is carpeted with ferns and climbing plants. All around it grows the pologony, a curious plant, from whose gigantic leaves he made his crockery—plates, dishes, soup tureens, and even washing basins and tanks. There is the little bay in which he used to moor his boat, and the plateau on which he built his cabin.
