PHONE 27 210 Box Butte Ave. That America is Just now on the veic of an era great prosperity Is the belief of many observers. The amount of necessary building and Im provements that have been held up h. the war In this country alone will ne cessitate the employment of a host laborers and will demand an enorm ous amount of material. The enlarged needs of foreign countries and the ability of America to supply them and to carry goods In Its own merchant ships will afford another channel through which prosperity will come I While some other nations have been Itnprovrlshed by the awful confllei they will find the means of supplying their needs In order to recoup them- I selves.

He made a brave fight to live and gave Borne hopes for recovery until the last day when he was called to go up higher. This is especially sad to the berea ved parents as within the last week they have been called upon to give up little Hazel who waa stricken with the same malady. The deceased was exceptionally bright and gave much of promise to the parents when he was so early in life called out to the other and better world. Called when for him the sun was still shining In the eastern sky and had not yet reached the meridian When by reason of extreme age or prolonged Illness death claims one of our loved ones we regard their removal as inevitable and soon be come reconciled to it, but when in the vigor of youth one is suddenly strick en down we stand In mute aurpri and are appalled. As we regain our mental pose and reflect calmly ll po the situation the truth of the words so often repeated come to us "In the midst of life we are in death." He met with patient resignation and fortitude the Divine decree and faced the call bravely and with a knowledge of Christ. Gods finger touched him and fell asleep and over his Krave will always hover the sweet recollection of a beautiful life The funeral service was conducted by Rev. A. J. May of the Methodist church of Hemingford, and the body laid to rest beside the little sister in the Hemingford cemetery on Nov, 25, a. y t t Y 1 Y Y i t Y 1 1 Y Y Y Y Y t 1 Buy your s Tractor NOW and buy a CASE before the advance 1 t 2 5 We can save you $200 on a CASE TRACTOR, provid ed you buy before January 1st and guarantee delivery by March 1st.
