She had been a nurse at the same hospital for 18 mouths but a short time ago returned to her home in Midway for a rest. Deceased was was only sick two and a half weeks.0 She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Bertha Thomet three sisters, Emma, Helen and Annie and one brother, ��� Carl, all residing at Midway. She was a true friend, and her devotion to those she loved would make a bright chapter in any life. Nothing but the thought of the loving hand that has removed her can reconcile those near and dear to her of her absence. While she has gone from the scenes, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will still live in the hearts of those who knew "her best. Her lovely nature led her to hide her best qualities from public gaze, but they were revealed to those who enjoyed her acquaintance, yet it was in her.home that her true worth was most conspicuous. She - was a kind and loving daughter, and her devotion to the family circle had no limit. Her future was full of promise, and we * dare not ask why she was taken away in her prime, unless, as flowers are ft picked before the froBt finds them that we may not witness their decay. Tt is~sad,~indeed, to' see one - so well equipped for life taken, eo unexpectedly, yet for her there was ���o standing on the border-land gazing into the unknown, for death came as the sunset dies along the hills when tho day is over. The funearl was held at the Presbyterian Church, Midway, and waB largely attended. Rev. Hlllia Wright conducted the services assisted by Rev. E. G. Smyth. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Interment. took place at the Midway cemetery. The pall-bearers were: Ewart MeMynn, GordonVMcMynn,-Eric- - and Robert Jackson, Joe Hielscher and Norwood Docksteader. "Nomads of the North" Imagine a pet dog and a bear chained together stranded in the very swift currents of a river of the Far North and finally being dashed over a precipitous rapids and through sheer animal intelligence and presence of mind, rescuing each other in the end! According to an authorized statement a dog and a bear were actually put to this severe test, being abandoned entirely upon their own resources for the sake of realism in James Oliver Curwood's "Nomads of the North," which will be Bhowa at the Greenwood Theatre on Saturday, Oct, Sth. For at least two minutes the remarkable struggles of these animals occupy the whole screen and it is said the manner in which they finally reach -safety In such as to elicit actual cheers.

Put in lite matter of the iniirk--lit)g of wheat, men who never plowed n furrow or tweed tut acre in their lives, hut who have, studied the question of marketing, the Hue (nations of prices, and the harvest seasons around the world, tire well qualified to speak iu reply to the question at tlio head of this article. They aro certainly iu just as good a position to express an opinion in regard to it as any practical fanner, and possibly iu a, much bot.LC'' position to do so intelligently-, j Of course, no hard and fast rule cau he laid down because conditions vary i from one year to another and circumstances arise beyond tho control of more j mortals which upset any and all calculations and defy previous experience, j For example, tho man who sold wheat immediately following the outbreak! of war in 191-1 was tho loser by so doing. It is, therefore. Only possible to arrivo afan intelligent answer to ihe question whether it pays the farmer to hold his wheat after harvest by taking the average run oC prices over a period of normal years. The Federal Reserve Bank of. Minneapolis lias recently issued a set of most interesting- charts, one of which seeks to throw some light on the question. One pair of charts shows the variations in prices on tho Chicago and Minneapolis markets covering the -la-year period from 1S7G to IPSO; another shows the monthly range of cash wheat prices iii Minneapolis during the last ten "years, while a fourth chart, dealing with the normal pre-war years of 1903 to 1013, shows whether a farmer stood to gain or lose by hohling4or selling his w;lieat as indicated by the Chicago prie.es which provaile.il from mouth to month throughout this ton-year period. Taking the August price in each year as a basis, the chart in question shows the fluctuations in price above, ov below the August price in the succeeding months until August again came round. The chart reveals the amazing fact that in 011I3- 25 months out of the ll!0 in this ten-year period would if havo paid the farmer to hold his wheat as compared with selling at the August price. In other -words, in 95 mouths out of .the .1.20 there was a loss by selling wheat at other than the August price. On the average every month showed a loss, and these losses vary from about five, cents to fourteen cents a bushel. It is further pointed out. that if September prices, instead of August, had been selected as the basis for .-making the.comparl- "son the con'clusitins-TOuldi-ii^ ,'��� .-.. ������ Tills highly intcrc^tmg!-ehart,7oa^qd7a ./.official.records, shoraV 7.ihrougiibu'Cth;ese:-&^ 7'.;pf;5.'l :ccn.t^p.pi^)ii^ ;f;/>vo'u:id:..'MaVB;^ ;KoS^UlbeVVihC'.;ISss-'-AV0uul: .:^,:'have'':ljee.ii:' U&S'iceutjs^'.-.^ February" :-!-d-2,'3>ccn��s;7in^ o>J.uhe" ic7*\:ceiiis,;7 and.in J"ivlii|v;Dvt7<SciiItM^/: 177";v^/";-.
