Gaulke, 60 years old, well known over McHenry county, died on Sunday forenoon at his home in Woodstock of a heart attack. ' He had been in his usual good health and word of his sudden death came as shock to his relatives and friends. He was born in Germany on June A Good Educatioa v A good education is generally considered as reflecting no small credit on its possessor; but in the majority of cases it reflects credit on the wise solicitude of his parents or guardians, rather than on himself. . . . "Who steals my purse steals trash, but he that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriche s h i m a n d makes me poor indeed." How true it is. A good name is to be p r e f e r r e d above a full purse, but a purse, whether f u l l o r e m p t y . plays an important part in~ the development of our lives. Time will record the full measure of good which may have come out of the depression. Already we can see some of the benefits. The empty purse caused by the shrinkage in security values,, has, for many shifted the standard of values from the material to the moral and the spiritual. We have realized as never before that all gold does not glitter. We have learned to distinguish between a house and a home. An empty purse may have caused some persons to sacrifice the- house in which they lived, but no empty purse could destroy the memories or the cultural standards which made that house a home. Homes may be transferred to more humble abodes, but they may be homes still. An empty purse has also impressed us with the temporary and uncertain vqlue of material possession. "The rich man of today may become tHte poor, tomorrow." The values that endure and mold character and life are those which cannot be contents of a full purse. .• No amount of money can boy knowledge, goodness, integrity, happiness: these are impalpable, priceless, and part of striving for the unseen riches of the mind and heart. No full parse can buy love: it must be given. An empty purse has a way Of disclosing who our frielids really are. A full purse may surround us with a lot of congenial people who profess friendship; an empty purse reveals the constancy of those who value us for what we are and not for what we may possess. A true friend stands by us and with us no matter how we may be rated in Bradstreet's. One of the tragedies of the past few years was the discovery that those whom we thought were our friends were sadly absent in the hour of need. An empty purse reveals thoughts and intents of heart as the full purse cannot do. We appreciate that for which we have to toil. When the good things of life come easily and without struggle they do not seem very valuable to us. A young man who must work his way through college on an empty purse has a great advantage over the student whose indulgent parents have given him a full purse. The principle of sacrifice releases the power of character as nothing else can. Loyalties of life depend upon it. Achievements colored by sacrifice have never been thwarted.' An empty purse may arouse one suddenly to a correct evaluation of his own life purpose. It is interesting to know that the great cathedrals of Europe were erected from funds provided by the poorer classes. Just so the cathedral of personality may be erected without the possession of a full purse. We grow in the likeness ef thai which dominates our life. If that purpose be self and self only, even a full purse is not sufficient. If that purpose be sympathy with others, personality and not possessions is the all important aspect. An empty purse will nevtr cause one to fail to give to the world the best he has, that the best aiay coma back to him. C Western Newspaper Unioo.

ON DBPMY jrf Butch Showrooms SENSATIONAL is the fervor with which the American public has taken to its heart the brilliant motor cars offered by Buick/ this year. Indeed, the sweeping success of die 1936 Buiok program flatly challenged us and our great parent General Motors to a momentous decision. Should we continue this amazingly popular liiw of cars into next year, perhaps the prudent thing to do--or should we dare broad improvement upon their spectacular excellence? We felt there was only one right answer to that question, the bold and progressive answer--and that'8 why insiders now forecasting l$$I#$e already saying: "It's Buick again I" # » • . • " • That's why on top of $l5,000i000recently spent retooling and re-equipping Buick* s great plant* wo R.I.
