In this connection, she mastered the French, Italian. German and Spanish languages. While she was not a professional artist, sketches by her appeared in Harper's Maga zine and elsewhere. "Mrs. Byers collected many paint ings and carvings which a few years ago she presented to the Women's club of Des Moines.

A short time' ago the Journal printed an article relative to parties in this cty conducting a systematic pan-handling campaign from house to house and since that time the evil has been ceased. The -parties have folded their tents like the Arabs and eilently stole away to seek other fields of operation or at least to give the Plattsmouth people a rest. SOME EARLY CHICKENS The recounting of one of the ear liest hatches of the reason ii reported from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ttay Campbell, south of the city, where they have just had one of their hens come off with a flock of fifteen chicks from a setting of seventeen - eggs.

THE GOLDEN HOURS OF YOUTHFUL LIFE Dr. Frank Crane Tells of the Won derful Opportunity that School Days Ering to the Young There is no time of my life I would rather live over than my school days. It may interest boys and girls to know how-1, fifty years old and over, having had all sorts of experiences, would feel about going to school, if I were young again. I would surely go to school because school is the best place in which to pans one's youth. No matter how great a chance to make money a boy may have, he will make more money in the long run if he has a good schooling. No matter how good an opportunity a girl may have to get married, she will make a better wife and mother, end be happier, if she has an education. There is more and better fun to be had rn school than anywhere else during the age between six and twenty-one. You are much more likely to meet the best kind of people with whom to form lifeiong friendships in school than elsewhere. Schools are not perfect, but they are the best institutions that exist for boys and girls. They are the fin est product of civilization, the, best result of evolution. Time-spent in school i not wasted. You lose nothing by taking pains to sharpen your ax..- In school you get in touch with the p?.st. The human race, has existed for a long while. At school you get the benefit of its accumulated ex perience. You stand on your fore fathers' shoulders and do not have to try experiments that they have tried over and over. At school you acquire your inheri tance from the wisdom of the past, which is better than inheriting a million dollars from your father. j At school you learn to love and to , use books. End from books have come the best efficiency and enjoyment of my life. At school you learn what is best of all. how to form good tastes. The most marked difference between cultured person and a vulgar one is the kind of t nines they like. I At school you learn how to use your riches so as to get real satis faction, if you are to be rich; also, if J you are to be poor, how to have a j full and happy life in spite of it. j At school you rub off the sharp corners of your personality; you! learn how to be agreeable, how to get j muni; wiiii iuiK5. aim uow io piay me game of life with the most enjoy ment. Of all the men and women I have knewn. not one of them was ever j Forry for going to school and every- , one who for any reason had missed ! ar. education regretted it. j If you have parents that will send i you to school you are fortunate, and thrice fortunate if you have to work I your way through school by your own exertions. To say that you would like to go; to school if ycu were able is non- j sense. Any boy can get an educa-I tion if he desires it enough. .Any irl Cm schooiing if she is suf . ficientl determined. b e ' , . ... Of all the fools that roam the h u ' Tihhon g the bi wears the blue ggest root or all is the boy who will not go to school because he wants to go into business. His only competitor for first prize is the girl who leaves school to get 'married. Dr. Frank Crane, in Good Housekeeping. PREPARING FOR ACTIVITIES From Friday "s Daily.

A GPiEAT TAMELY The Journal has received a copy of the Long Beach Prerc, which con tained a very attractive picture of the Walter Thomas family of that citv. The Press, was handed us by A. S. Will and the account which i ! given below certainly speaks well for the Thomases, who were for ro many years residents of riattsmouth. The Long Beach Auto company is a gTeat success and owned by the Thomases. "The business was incorporated as the Long Beach At? to Company early in 1917 and fix months later Glenn Thomas was made manager, his two older brothers being at that time in Salt Lake City.

The funeral rerviccs cf Mrs. Mel- vina Alton was held at the Christian thurch la?.L Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Pro. Hay, the pa?tor of the Christian church, and by J. II. Bickce'.l of Bethany. The terviees were larrelv attended ... by lelative--. and friends. Melvina Abel was horn in DeKalb county. Indiana, December 6. 1S41, pad died Feb. 5th. 1022, aged 80 years and two months. Her early life was pent in the community known as Co-burn 's Cor ners, Indiana, where the old family home with its frame cf heavy 't:m bers s-Qurrred and smoothed by hand. still stands. Her parents were of that hand of sturdy pioneers who gave their in feasant toll ao the task of making a heme in a new country amidst ad verse surroundings. She grew to womanhood inured to a life of hard ship.- and privation. The family con sisted of eight children.- five boy? ar.d three girls and being the oldest : irl to her lot fell many heavy tasks in the routine of household work that would seem almost for one of her age. She lived in the day of the tallow candle and when the carding cf wcol, spinning of yarn end the v.-cavicg and making of garments was tut an ordinary accomplishment. It was well that she was accus tomed to the privations of frontier life and had inherent ability to make a home in a leg cafcin or a sod house i or when 19 years of aga she mar ried a young preacher and school icacher, Cyrus Alton, who received n salary of $75 or less per year in the early days in Nebraska. The nomadie life of a pioneer preacher led them to Michigan and : hen to Nebraska at a time wher buffalo and hostile Indians were still i feature of life in the middle west. In Plattsmouth the home nvas first established, but after a year they moved to a hrr;e3tead in Furnas county. Later they lived near Weep ing VvTater and for a short time also in Greenwood and Wood Rtver but Elmwood was the real home and the residence for many years. The life of the preacher's wife of 'hose early days was full of arduous responsibilities, drudgery and toil. The returning rom services held at a. country rchool house to get din ner for a houseful cf people and u:en n turn to the service of .the eve ning, not in the luxurious mode of today, but often in a wagon and per haps setting on a board placed across l:e wagon box; was but one of the ufual events. As the pioneer preach er was often called to distant com munities (distant in the sen?e of the facilities for travel) it was left to '.he wife to manage the homestead rear the family and meet the exi gencies of many a trying and diffi cult i.ituation alone. To all of this Melvina Alton meas ured up to the highest ideals as a wife, mother, a consistent follower of Christ and a lover of all good works: To her the caring for the comfort of the itinerant preacher or the evangelist was a sacred duty and she gave willingly of strength and tia-iC for the good of the church. Never when well enough to attend has she missed the services of the Lord's House, and many a preacher has fmind inspiration an the earnest attention of the frail little woman who sat well forward in her accus tomed place. When ,but a year was lacking of the fifty needed to round out fifty years of wedded life, her first great borrow came in the death of her hus band, Cyrus Alton, so well known to most of the older residents of this community. In no situation of life did she seem to know the meaning of fear and in her last days spoke of death In a manner as unconcerned as most peo ple speak of things pertaining to life. She loved religious songs and sang in quavering voice until shortly be fore her death. Her favorites were, "God Will Take Care of You." and "I Walked in the Garden Alone." She leaves to mourn her loss 2 sisters. Alice Hart of St. Joe, Indi ana, and Myra Kimes of Kinsley, 'Xas., three Children. Mrs. L. A. Ty ron of Elmwood, Mrs. W. S. Waters of Lincoln, Nebraska, and W. A. Al ton of Los Anseles, Cal., thirteen grandchildren. These besides a host of friend 3 will cherish the, memory of Malvina Alton, whose life on earth has only merged into the life th-.t is not measured by whitening hair or fleeting years and. into whose bright Yralras. sickness and pain, narrow and death can never come.
