THE LAST CALL Another good neighbor and a loving friend Has gone from our midst to a fairer land; There where earthly sorrows are no more, To meet God, face to face on the other shore. His voice that once our hearts has thrilled Is now silent for it has forever been stilled. The greetings that you often have heard Will no longer on this earth be uttered. Not only did he save our lives with medical care. His human life and service were felt everywhere. Although his earthly work now is done. Yet his deeds to mankind will , be remembered on. We all feel the loss of those whom we have loved. Yet a greater love is awaiting them from above, Where the angels are praising the God on High, There to live forever, never again to die. May God in Heaven reward him forever more For all the good things on earth he has done. And forgive him all his faults and shortcomings; Then welcome him to his eter nal home. Composed and dedicated by L. W. Lorenz in memory of Dr. T. P. Livingston, deceased. RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL Mrs. V. V.

DRIVERS' UCENSTS ALL EXPIRE DECEMBER 1, 1939 Among some there is a mistaken notion that their drivers' licenses will run out two years from the date they are taken out. This is perhaps responsible for a "holding-back" at titude on the part of some drivers in applying for their new licenses. This supposition is not correct, as all licenses, regardless of date of issue, expire December 1, 1939. The man who takes his out early in Sep tember or the one who waits until the last day November 31st will find their licenses expire and will have to be renewed on the same date, namely, December 1, 1939. No advantage is gained in delaying the time of applying and it will only pile up the work as the final date for applying approaches until drivers will find themselves Btanding in line to be served. There is no great rush at present, and now is the best time to make your application then you will have the new license and noth ing to .worry about until two years from the 1st day of December that is, if you drive sanely and don't, per chance, have the license revoked by court order. In that case, you will have plenty to worry about before getting it reinstated, under the new and more stringent motor laws. LICENSES SLOW UP County Treasurer John E. Turner and his force have found that the rush of driver license applications that was very brisk the first few days has now fallen , off to a large extent and but few a day are being applied for. Improving our farm-lo-market roads will be of direct benefit to everyone in Cass county.
