November 26, 1892, she was married to Samuel Dewart. Two daughters blessed this union. Mrs. Edith Smith and Mrs Chas. Ryman. I While yet a small child she embraced t'-e religion of Jesus Christ and Became a loyal and devoted member of the United Brethren Church. At the time of her conversion she and her sister were alone in her home and the light of Jesus Christ shone into her childish heart until she shouted the praises of her Redeemer, and to this simple childish faith she has ever clung, never neglecting her Christian duty and living an exemplary life always. Over three years ago she became afflicted with a complica tion of diseases and since that time has been a constant sufferer having been confined to her bed most of the time. Last May she was taken to a Fort Wayne hospital, where she spent three weeks, but came home without having received any especial help. Never during her sickness did •he utter a word of complaint or find fault with the lot that was hers. Always her thought was for others, not for herself. Ar she was being taken * from her home for the last time ‘she expressed an earnest desire to her son-in-law that if she never returned she might meet him in Heaven, and her last conscious words to her daughter were ones of helpfulness and cheer, in which she expressed a hope that her life might never be blighted by sickness or sorrow. Never cross or petulant, never impatient or fretful, she was that type of woman the world reveres and called blessed. She leaves an untainted heritage to her daughters and a sweet memory to all who knew her. Two weeks ago her sisters and daughters met with her on her last birthday, at which time she was happy and contented, although in very poor health. She leaves a husband, two daughters, three grandchildren, an aged father, four sisters and a host of. relatives and friends in whose memory she will ever live. She is not dead, for her exemplary Christian life will go on and on until Time merges into Eternity and we meet her in that land of the unsetting sun, where sickness and sorrow, disease and death are forever banished by' the smiles of a Triumphant Redeemer. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Floyd Hedges at Salem church Sunday afternoon and burial was in Salem cemetery. ■. -o—- "■ NOW FOR HOT WAFFLES Dan Klink was awarded the waffle-iron which was given away at the Oakland Theatre on Wednesday evening in connection with votes sold to send Miss Marie Tudor abroad as a delegate with the American Committee far Devastated France.

ORGANIZE MACHINERY TO COLLECT GASOLINE TAX Organization of machinery to collect the new’ tax of 2 cents a gallon on gasoline has been started, Robert Bracken, state auditor, announced last week. The tax will be collected by the auditor’s department, probably directly from the producers and wholesale distributors of gasoline. Little expense is expected to be incurred in its collection. Descriptions of collection methods used by other states having a gasoline tax were being received by Mr. Bracken and are beiing compiled for use in organizing Indiana’s collection machinery. \ The gasoline tax, which becomes effective June 1, will raise approximately $4,000,000 a vear. according to Mr. Bracken. While primarily intended for use in road construction and maintenance. he stated much of it will probably go into the general funds under the new law, which oermits the state board of finance to borrow’ from one fund to another. The general fund is now in debt nearly $4,000,000 and the finance board hopes to meet part of this deficit with gasoline tax money, Mr. Bracken stated. “The deficit in the general fund has resulted from causes at both ends, too high expenditures and too low state tax levy,’’ Mr. Bracken explained. o FIRST TIME IN HISTORY For the first time in the history of the United States, the prospects are the Postoffice department will soon have a surplus at the close of its fiscal vear instead of a deficit. The postal deficit has been in existence ever since the Postoffice department was organized. It has become so chronic that it was looked upon as a thing that could not be avoided. The postal deficit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, was $81,000,000 in round numbers. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, this has been reduced to $60,000,000 in round numbers. For the fiscal year to end June 30 next, the deficit will not exceed $30,000,000, in round numbers. While for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924, for which appropriations have already been made, and estimated receipts have been compiled, the postal revenue will exceed the postal expenditures, and the department will close with a surplus. o ■ IN JAIL FOR FORGERY The following item is taken from the Ligonier Banner. Merl Miller of Syracuse, aged 30. is in jail *t Albion, held on a charge of forgery. Miller, who is married, took a note for s*2oo to a bank in Ligonier and was asked what security he could give. He said that his grandmother vrisuld be his surety. He took the note out of the bank and some days later returned it, signed presumably by his grandmother. He was ; given the money. Later the bank tried to recover and a civil suit was brought. Then the gandmother testified that she had not signed the note and Miller’s arrest followed. The man had illegal dealings with banks in Cromwell and Albion also. o TOWNSHIP FARM BUREAU < ■ - There Will be a public meeting at the Guy school house, about 3 miles southeast of Syracuse, on Monday evening, April 9, at 7:30. An effort will be made to reorganize the township farm bureau. Forrest Lepper, president of the County Farm Bureau, and County Agent T. A. Parker will be present All farmers and their wives are invited to attend. o— - CORRECT » “Where is the capital of the United States?” asked a writer in the Wall Street Journal. It sounds like a question in geography, but it isn’t For the answer is: Largely in tax-exempt bonds! —O K - ONE KIND OF BOOTLEGGER Mother and daughter walking on the boulevard see young lady with unbuckled galoshes flapping in the breeze. Little daughter says, “Mama, is that one of those bootleggers that Papa talks so much about?” o Make a fool of yourself, if you must; but don’t proclaim yourself an idiot by making excuses.

He was deaf.
