ASCH came down from Highland township and reported he caught a team in the road about 6 p.m. Monday evening, tied them and went out to find the man, and about one mile this side of the Nebraska line found Mr. Parks lying on his face and the wagon seat by his side. Mr. ASCH raised him up but could not get him to talk. He got the help of Mr. PATTERSON and DAVIS and took the dying man into the Patterson school house, where he died about 9 o'clock. Dr. MORRIS went out Tuesday morning and made an examination of the corpse and found the neck had been dislocated by the fall from the wagon, being unable to manage his team.

A coroners jury was called by T.P.

The funeral was held in the Presbyterian church Thursday at 2 p.m., under the auspices of the G.A.R. of which he was a member, and sermon preached by Rev. HAGEMAN. A large concourse of sympathizing friends were present. Obituary. Jonathan B. PARKS, was born in New York (state) April 25, 1835, and while a lad in his teens moved to Michigan.

She was sick one week of pneumonia. She suffered greatly while sick and often spoke of friends here. She has six children living; five small children there, one daugther in this county. Mr. Durham's were formerly of Washington, and I can say they have the deep sympathy of the community here in their sudden bereavement. Mr. Durham's while her, belonged to the Christian church in good standing. Mrs. Durham was a true wife, loving mother, kind friend. Those who knew her best loved her most. She died in full hope of the rest that remains for the Christian. "Blessed are they who die in the Lord." Tenderly we commend the sorrowing friends, the bereaved husband and children to Him, who is able to dry every eye, and has promised to be a present help in time of trouble. May they be upheld by the blessed hope of a reunion in that home where there will be no more t! ears, no more partings, no more lights of lamps, neigher lights of sun, for the Lord God shall give them light and they shall reign forever and ever. Written by friend and sister of the same faith and hope.

The Lawrence Daily Journal-World Douglas County Friday January ?,1942 Confirm Bad News About The Girdles. War Production Board Includes Golf and Tennis Balls in the Ban. Washington, Jan. 23, (AP), Sorry, girls, but the war production board confirmed that bad news about girdles today. After February 1, an order declared, no more crude rubber or latex may be used in manufacturing girdles or other foundation garments, golf and tennis balls, erasers, bathing suits and caps, lawn and garden hose and hundreds of other common household items. Extending already strict government control over the rubber industry, the board made public a long list of "essential" products which may be manufactured; established production quotas for each class of products, and directed that use of crude rubber for a wide variety of "essential" civilian good be reduced about 75 per cent below recent annual consumption. After February 1, the order stipulated, all products not on the list may be manufactured only from reclaimed rubber. It was this provision which torpedoed girdles. Reclaimed rubber, experts say, cannot be used satisfactorily in material which is subject to recurrent stretching. After a few stretches, it doesn't bounce back into shape. Since last December 19, when the government halted production of all non-essential goods pending a detailed study of the rubber shortage, the industry's output has been subject to general limitations. The new WPB order tells the industry exactly what it can and can't make and how much of it. Specific permission must be obtained from the board before crude rubber or latex can be used to make tires or tubes, retreading material, insulating compounds, jar rings, and other items. Further, WPB may at any time change specifications of all products on the approved list to reduce the amount of crude rubber used. Consumption of rubber on the approved list is based on average montly comsumption during the year ended March 31. Each month, for example, the industry may produce exactly the same amount of hospital and surgical supplies and infant feeding products as was produced during the comparable month in the base period. The same 100 per cent limit applies to such goods as industrial protective clothing, tire repair materials an surgical and medical equipment. Equipment for printing and publishing is cut to 80 per cent; water bottles and ice bags to 75 per cent. Only 30 per cent as much rubber footwear for workmen and athletes may be manufactured, but fire and mill hose output, necessary for civilian defense and increased industrial activity, is boosted 80 per cent. The order provides that, until further notice no one may sell trade or transfer any crude rubber or latex without permission from the WPB or the Rubber Reserve company, an RFC. subsidiary.

We expect Frank feels rather lonesome down there in that little burg. Fred HOERMAN met wtih a serious accident last week, while endeavoring to fill a sack with grain from the elevator. He had mounted a ladder to arrange something about the tin spout which conducted the grain when the spout came loose and he lost his balance. A team and wagon was driven near the elevator to receive the grain and when he lost his balance he fell at their feet, and the spout fell upon them scaring them badly, and they started to run. Mr. Hoerman escaped with a broken arm. Last Friday night or rather Saturday morning the depot here burned to the ground. No one has any idea as far as we know how the fire started. Everything was lost. It is not known whether the contents of the safe was injured or not as it has been sent to Kansas City to be doctored. SELBY now resides in a wheeless box car. He says he has no idea how long he will have to stay there. He seems very comfortably located.
