The war has caused prices on all produce to advance. Insure good crops by using proper precautionary methods when planting the seeds. Grain smut and potato scab can be destroyed through the use of Formaldehyde This is not a theory, but a well proven fact. For­ maldehyde is recommended for this purpose by the government. To insure best results it is necessary that the best grade of formaldehyde be used. We have tfce best grade. We can also furnish the best grade of Blue Stone to those who prefer its use for destroying smut. N. H.

Martha Elisabeth Gibaan Miss Martha Elizabeth Gibson was born at Ridgefield, 111., Oct. 25, 1851, and died March 2, 1915, at the age of 63-years, 4 months and 5 days. All her life, until ten years ago, was spent at the farm home, where her parents settled in the late 40's. She was one of five children, all of whom, but one, preceded her to the heavenly home. She leaves to mourn her death one brother, David L. Gibson, a niece, Mrs. Nellie Merchant, one nephew, Louis J. Gibson, of Chicago, two grand nephews, Lester and Clifford Mer­ chant, and a number of cousins. Miss Mattie, as she was more famil­ iarly known by all who knew and loved her best, was one of those who knew how to find and appreciate thp real value of life. At the early age of twelve years she was converted and united with the Presbyterian church. By her quiet, simple faith in God, her ever kind and encouraging word for others, while bravely bearing her own burdens, she built for herself a loving memorial in the hearts of those who knew her best. A life of self sacrifice of service to others. This was notice­ able in the fact that she possessed an aversion to even the slightest appear­ ance of dependency on others. She had been a patient sufferer for the past four months and until less than a week prior to her death she kept her place in the family circle. During the wearying days of illness everything was done that medical skill or human power could do to alleviate her suffering, but to no avail. Sleep that knows no waking came to her in the early hours o*f morning and the Heavenly Father in his lo»iu« kiuu- ness transplanted the soul from earth's home and truly we can say that a con­ scientious Christian has gone to her reward. Funeral services were held at the home Thursday afternoon. Rev. J. W. MacGowan preached a very comfort­ ing sermon. The music was furnished by Mr. and fclrs. Wolck of Crystal Lake, who sang favorite hymns of the deceased. The remains were laid to rest beside the parents, brothers and sister in the Ridgefield cemetery. A FRIEND. l'KKKA COTTA. Mrs. J. M.
