The churcli was filled with old time friends who had assembled to j pay their last tribute or respect anu the many flowers testified to the es teem and love for the departed. A quartet, composed of Messrs. William Schwalm, Martin Grefe, Miss Edith Stander and Mrs. David Simpson, rendered several beautiful selections. The pallbearers were old i time friends and all were members of the I. O. O. F. organization of I w hich Mr. Nichols is a member, and were C. G. Mavfield, M. L. Williams, George Wood. L. J. Mayfield, A. II. Peterson and J. R. Noyes. Interment did not take place until the next day, however, as Mr. Echols was having a cement mausoleum constructed in the cemetery and it was not com pleted until the following day. At 4 o'clock, after a short prayer by the pastor, the body was laid away in the vault, a large number of friends being present to offer their sympathy and consolation to the sorrowing mily. Mrs. Echols maiden name was Charlotte Leecing. She was born No vember 25, 1852, and at the time of her death she was 72 years, 7 months and 27 days old. She was born iu Stockholm, Sweden, and came to this country with her parents at the age of one year. They settlesd in La Salle, Illinois, and later moved, to Ames, Iowa. November C, 1868, she was married to John K. Nichols, at the age of 16 years. They settled on a homestead near Greenwood, Nebraska. To this un ion, three children were born. They are Rose, now Mrs. T. F. Moats, of Harrisville, West Virginia; Frank H. Nichols, of Louisville, and Anna, now Mrs. William Clark, of Lincoln. In the year 1881, Mr. and Mrs. Nichols and family moved to Louis ville and Mr. Nichols engaged in business until hia death, which oc curred on January 19, 1897, and bince that time his son, F. H. Nich ols, has carried on successfuly the business established by his father. On March 23. 1S99, Mrs. Nichols wa3 married to Frank S. Echols and shortly thereafter they moved to Bluefield, West Virginia, where they made their home until about three years ago they moved to their farm in western Nebraska near Llewellyn, in Garden county. Mrs. Echols was of a quiet, home- loving disposition, a devoted wife and ' mother and a true and faithful ! friend. She was a member of the ', Swedish Lutheran church with which I she united at the age of 14 and lived a consistent Christian life, doing many kind deeds of charity in her , quiet, unobtrusive way and she was greatly beloved by all who knew her. Her passing has brought sorrow to i her family and friends who will miss her sadly. Besides her husband and three children, she leaves five grandchil dren. They are Hugo Moats, Harris ville, W. Va., Mrs. George Dolan, Vo line and Robert Nichols of Louisville, and Ross Nichols of Omaha. She al so leaves one great grandchild. Betty Joan Moats of Harrisville, W. Va.

Boise, Idaho, July 30. A more ambitious and presumptlous effort to establish judicial despotism was never conceived than the international court operating under the league of nations, which America is being urg ed to join, Senator Borah told Boise laborers at a meeting in the labor temple here last night. The chairman of the foreign re lation committee of the senate said he felt so strongly on the matter that "if I had to tender my resig nation in the senate or vote for this court as it now stands, it wouldn't take me one minute to resign." Mr. Borah continued: "I believe this court is dangerous. The men urging it are not telling you the truth about It. If they were, I would leave it to the people for a vote without opening my mouth. "I do not want it thought that I am opposed to world court in gen eral. I have been advocating a court for several years. A world court should be created which it would be safe for us to join and which would help to promote the cause of peace. I do not intend to bring up charges in the present plan when it comes before the senate I mean the plan of joining the league's court with th Harding-Hughes res ervation.

A financial plan which will enable every farmer to own a Fordson trac tor, Oliver plow and harrow and oth er equipment without any inconven ience, has been worked out by the Tractor, Implement and Equipment distributors, according to word re ceived by the Badger Equipment company, authorized distributors oi the Omaha Ford branch district, and Secretary of Agriculture Jardine at Washington. At their recent convention in Chi cago, the Tractor, implement ana Equipment Distributors worked out a plan whereby power machinery can be placed in the farmer's hands un der long deferred payments. The department of agriculture is pledged to a program that will bring good times back to the farmer and it feels, following a survey of the sit uation, that the best means of bring ing prosperity to the farmer is to give him power driven equipment.

A new era in the certification of teachers began in Nebraska, Tuesday when State Superintendent Matzen issued the first certificates under an act of the legislature which went in to effect July 2. This law is known as the Wilson bill, introduced by Representative Wilson of Chadron, and drawn in the state superintend ent's office "That law puts Nebraska on a par with Indiana, Ohio and Illinois and far ahead of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and the Dakotas," said Superintend ent Matzen. "The old law of 1919 was a catchword. The legislature that year was confronted with two bills backed by two factions "The result was a compromise and a law that was indefinite, full of du plications and without a gradual rise from one certificate to another and with a multiplicity of classes of cer tificates to be issued. The new law reduces the number of classes of cer tificates to nine, eliminates duplica tion, provides for a gradual rise from one certificate to another. Credits earned by a teacher will not count on a certificate of a higher class. "Teachers must now depend upon college hour credits tather than Third Tractor.

They are obtained by examina- of the statutes." jfacturing concern in the city. tion. "Under the old law there were two issuing authorities, the county super intendents issued two classes of cer tificates and the state superintend ent the others. County superintend ents now approve this new law. They had little authority under the old law. The questions for examinations were prepared by the state superin tendent who also graded the examina tion papers. The county superintend ents merely issued the certificates. "Under the old law when a teacher moved from one county to another she had to wait until her grades were transferred to the coun ty of her new residence, and so on with every move she made from coun ty to county. Now a teacher's cer tificate is registered in any county where the holder goes to teach and his registration is without fee. "In passing from the old law to the new I was required to make new rulings which have the effect of law. I have tried to be fair to teachers. Under these rulings no teacher is required to do more under the new law that she would have had to do under the old law had that remained in force. The new law is not retroac tive. All certificates issued under the old law are valid until the ex pire." State Journal. SOME STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN IN MONTANA TELEPHOTOGRAPHY The first advertisement ever Hash ed across the continent from Pacific to Atlantic coast by the newly in vented telephotographic process, was received in New York recently when the complete layout and text for an advertisement for the California Pear Growers association was wired from San Francisco to New York in seven minutes. The transmission was made over telephone line from a photographic negative. This is just another tribute to the scientific progress constantly made by private industry in America, in the interest of public service. While the rest of the world is talking about getting telephones, there is one for almost every home in thin land and our own American telephone system has progressed a step farther and i actually reproducing photograph over its telephone wires almost in stantaneously. Is it any wonder other nations turn to the United States for help in developing their telephone systems? DUKE OF YORK NOT COMING Great Falls. Mont., July 29. When William Black, 38, a truck driver, was struck by lightning yesterday in the oil fields near here, the bolt perform ed some freak things. It broke his watch chain, welded together two silver dollars In his pocket, tore off both trouser legs and shoes and burned his hair. He was unconscious for two hours, but will recover, physicians say. The same bolt set fire to a near by oil tank, which was destroyed. London, July 29.
