RESOLUTIONS.
On the Death of Edward W. Can
ning of Spring Valley.
By camp 6371, M. W. A.
Again Death has entered the for
est, and has taken from us one of
our best beloved Neighbors, Edward
W. Canning, a charter member of
our Camp; his voice is heard no
more in our councils; his ax hangs
idle on the willow, never again to
be swung in his vigorous hand.
The clear, true eyes are closed
forever; the heart that never forgot
a friend or Neighbor beats no more;
the strong hand that was always at
the service of a weaker Neighbor is
powerless now. He is dead, and
our Camp mourns its irreparable
loss.
In life, our Neighbor was our help
and joy. Every one of us loved
him, because he never failed a
friend, nor spoke an unkind word
of an enemy. He was a true Wood
man.
But he is gone, and we best can
honor and revere his memory by
trying, like him, to love the truth
and the right, and to hate baseness
and cowardice.
As the mighty oak, yesterday a
tower of strength, to-day uprooted
by the tempest and fallen, bruises
and rends in its destruction the
tender vine and the ivy which have
grown round it for protection, our
departed Neighbor’s death has
wounded other hearts more sorely
than ours; our hearts are full of
sorrow, but every impulse of our
souls is that of sympathy for those
who loved our silent neighbor best.
Therefore be it
Resolvcd, That these feeble ex
pressions of our sorrow be spread
upon the minutes of our Camp, and
a copy be given to the bereaved
family. Also that our charter be
draped in mourning for the period
of one year. And
Resolved, That these resolutions
be published in the Spring Valley
Sun, the River Falls Journal and
the Baldwin Bulletin. Committee.
WANTED—FAITHFUL PERSON TO TRA

BEN HUR FLOUR.
There is just as much superi
ority in Ben Hur Flour over the
ordinary brands as the Christian
people of the world surpass In
culture and refinement the be
nighted Arabs who now dwell
in Palestine. The American
Indian is content to hunt and
fish, and resents efforts to civi
lize him.
The Philippino, sulkily and
with frequent uprisings, but part
ly submits to Uncle Sam’s boun
ty ahd educational development.
Some people continue to use in
ferior brands of flour and utterly
refuse to try Ben Hur Flour.
To such people we suggest an
inquiry as to whether they are
not in a rut to their own detri
ment. Beu Hur costs no more
than ordinary brands, tryit next
time you buy. For sale by The
