Passed Away Suddenly Death azatn cast n shadow over this vicinity. Saturday morning, when It re. moved Charles Elil red jre from our midst. Being pososed'of a qii et disposition and 11 cheerful disposition he was well liked by everyone. While having been injured In a fall in the local railroad yard?, his condition was not consider ed serious and his udden demise came as n shock to Ids many friends. A posttnoi tern examination, conduct ed hr our leading; physician, dls-elnsed thht death was due to a blond olot In the heart. The deceased was born near yra onse. N. Y., May 21. 1S157 and wa- 33 years of ace at the time of his de mise. He was united In marriage to Klizabeth Moode in 1SVT. To this union were born three sons, one ha vum proceeded him to rhe lite eternal. A wife and two sons, Wm. E. of Lak Citv. Iowa, and Hurry E. of Kensington, unnsas, ins nirea miner, A K Uiure'i ge. a sister, Mrs. Harry Nonks, both of Hopkins Mo , survive him Funeral services were conducted from the late home Monday afternoon, Rev.

Universal Military Training The war department recommends a system of universal military training of I months foi' nil eligible youths in their nineteenth yeor This'bill calls for a regular army of SI divisions, with a pence strength of 510,000 men and a war strength of a million and u quarter men. . For training purposes only youths of 19 years would be called for n pvro.l of 3 months. It is estimated that this would provide an annual class of about (100.000. For two years after training th-y would be required to submit certaiu reports as to address, dependents, physical condition, etc. In our opinion tills would be a good move, its at about Mutt age the average youth reaches the stage In life where he knows just a little more than Ids elder-, and if brought face to face with real discipline tiin proper mental mor al and physical truiniug, such as found in the army and navv, he would re alize that it was for his own personal benefit, and Jn all probability would grasp the opportunity to make n man out of himself.

Commissioners of Webster coun ty,! Ncbr:" In persuance with your wish in referring the petition of C. E. Berg fieJd et al, in regard to changing 'rputv of Federal Aid Road from' ReiJ ,Cloud to Guide Rock, for my de cision would say as follows: Pe tition asked for would be burden some to the county on account of the opening of one mile of new road across sections 6-1-9. There are not as many people served in the said petition as the present route already designated by your honorable body, June 1G, 1919. There are some four less turns in the present route and after riding today over tho two routes with the State Division Engineer, his approv al is for the north route. Therefore I recommend that you leave th's road on tho route already designat ed viz: From Red Cloud east ten miles, south one mile, thence- east three miles to the county line. GEO. H.
