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. American resources have scar
cely been touched us yet by the ex
penditures for nrmament and sup
plies She can do what she needs to do
tO set mi foot the propet movements
for revival of trade and flic creation
of new enterprlsea.

Harold Leonard Powell, son of Ar
thur S. and Margaret Powell was
born at South Omaha Nebr., on May
30th 1914 and departed this life near
Canton, Neb., on Nov. 22, 1918, aged
12 years, 5 months and 22 days
The deceased had been 111 for two
weeks with the Spanish Influenza
which developed into pneumonia. 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,
