The mother died twelve years to. a day before the day of the daughter's funeral. Ellen lived in our homo at Arcadia for a long time. Her death is a personal loss to us. We can only sympathize with the sorrowing husband and the mothcrle children and think of the sad Christmas that has come to them.

To the little children the loss is the greatest they will ever know, for God Almighty never made but one mother. May He comfort and protect them in their tender years and may they be brought up "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." One of the mother's last requests was that they be kept together and that they continue to attend Sunday School and be brought up right. The deceased also leaves a th- er, two sisters, three brothers and numerous other rel tivesand friends to mourn her early de parture. Walnut Items. Maggie Doyle is home-visiting this week.

The members of Girard Lodge, No. 93, A. F. A. were in stalled Tuesday erening Bro.

Bennett S. Gaitskill, W. Oscar B. Woolley acting as grand marshal. The following is the list of officers for 1911, together 'with the year each became a Mason: Gustav Goodkind 1872 Isaac Green 1880 Fed S.

Gooding 1882 Treas J. Dana Barker 1895 Sec David G. McGiffin 1869 Benjamin J. Gunn 1886 Christopher C. Stiner 1884 John A.

Whiteside 1885 Edward T. Campbell 1878 Tyler-Henry B. Clark 1B67 The unusual thing in reference to the above is that the combined Masonic age of the ter officeis is 332 years or an average of over 32 years as members of the order. The older men of the lodge here seem to be moi'e active than the younger members. We doubt if another set of lodge officers inj Kansas will equal the age of the Girard officers as members of the order.

Subscribe lor the Times. A Change of Rates Necessary. An experience of 10 months in Girard has shown us the necessity of a readjustment of prices. While we have more than held our own we have done so by doing a large share of the office work and keeping at it from 12 to 10 hours a day. Readers complain of too much advertising, and their objection is sustained; but we have not been in position to turn down the ads we needed the money.

Neither are we able at this time to enlarge the paper. So we decided to do this, beginning with next week's issue. Subscription accounts will be separate from advertising and all advertisers who receive the paper regularly will be charged for the same. This means $1.00 a year to the advertiser but to us. Locals will be run at 10c a line: 5c for repeated insertions.

Notices of entertainments for pay, given under local auspices, 5c per line each insertion. Cards that run regutarly will be charged for at 50o an inch pei month with no extra' charge for months containing live issues. Display matter will run atl2lc ier inch per week. We hardly expect this change ta increase receipts from advertising rather the opposite for time; but it will diminish the advertising space and afford more -qrace for local news. Already the Panama Railroad has yielded a net profit of 1 Million' dollars.

That's" the trouble with government ownershipit sets the other railroads i bad example. Kansas City Star. Richardson Smith. At noon on. Christmas day Mr.
