A Skating Pond. .Some of the business men of Cresco are in favor of having the city make a skating pond on one of the vacant lots on West Park street, which can be done at a trifling cost, compared with its benefits. It could be cheaply flooded from the standpipe and with the electric light near by would be a delightful place for the young to spend an evening, beside being a good health inspiring exercise, the best of tonics. During the evening hours the night watch could be near to see that the smaller children were not jostled off or ruthlessly run down by any wild or thoughtless person enjoying the sport. A small patch of Ice near the Park hotel, anH another near the Wilbre ham residence was thronged with groups of children skaters until the ice was worn to the ground beneath. Died.

Our brother Freeman led the meeting, and although he said it was the first time in his long chris tian experience that he had ever led a prayer meeting we had a delightful service.

Martha, beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Welnkauf, of Al bion, died in the home In which she was bom, Sunday morning, Jan. 19th, which lacked but eleven days of the twenty-second anniversary of her birth. Her malady was consumption. She was a patient sufferer and many times expressed her willingness to go when her Savior called. She selected the hymns and those she wished to sing at her funeral, and was conscious until she fell into that peaceful sleep from which none ever wake. She possessed those qualities of head and heart which endeared her to all with whom she came in contact, having a natural musical talent Bhe devoted much time in preparing herself to play the organ in her church. That she was beloved by all who knew her was shown by her funeral which was the largest ever held in this valley since its settlement. Rev. Wagner, her pastor, preached the sermon, and the remains in a most beautiful casket was placed in a flower bedecked tomb in the German Lutheran Ceme tery in Granger. Gently, speak gently the name of our dear one Sweetly she's sleeping—her spirit has offlSfn ^an- mm ned Fast falls the glittering tear drops above her Speak her name gently, our Martha Is dead, Closed Is the eye that ever beamed brightly, Hushed Is the voice that we all loved so well, Still Is the heart, the dear hands are folded, She said not to murmer—'tis well, it Is well. But hark! hear you not the waving of pinions, The angels are hastening to welcome her home, Now she has passed over Life's flowing river And the Father hath said, "I have need of thee, come." He gave her, he took her, her earth-life is ended, II er mission is linished, she's gone to her rest, Safe in the arms of the Savior reclining. We would not recall her, no early she's blest. Bright beams the eye of our dear one Hi heaven And sweet is her voice at the heavenly gate Singing No death not any more weeping, I've only passed over to watch and to wait."

Starving Europe. The apprehension of many editors of Iowa that the appointment of Mri Shaw as Secretary of the Treasury means the early retirement of the secretary of agriculture, Wilson,induc es us to prick the bubble of one of his bits of statesmenship. In the ability of the Uuited States to starve Europe in case of war, he seems to take pride, as one of the proofs that we are a world power. There is nothing new or novel in the statement. It has been recognized as a truth for a quar ter of a century. It Is also true that the common people of Europe, they who would have no voice in .bringing, on a war would be the ones who would suffer from hunger. Royalty, the real criminal, would be able to fare sumptuously every day. The dependence of Europe for the breadstufls of America to keep the wolf of hunger away from its people is generally understood and acknowl edged. With the hungry people of Europe to feed there is a market for our surplus wheat at about 60 cents a bushel. While we are engaged in the work of starving the people of Europe what would Mr. Wilson have our pro ducers do with that surplus? It seems to ua that it is quite as important to our people that we have a place to sell our supplies as it is to Europe to have a plfc.03 where it can buy. We cannot inflict a great injury upon the peo ple of that or any other country with out being injured in turn. This may not tickle our vanity as much as the declaration that we can starve the people of Europe, but it is worth more in dollars and cents to the producer^ of America. iur v.*• iVillH.U!, ,-utv. ifeMh in-.— .—f.
