Everybody thinks he can run a newspaper better than the benighted souls placed by Providence in that unbelievable position. Maybe it's because the editor's faults are glaring in the open in black and possibly it is just a queer quirk of human nature and the job's so easy anyway. Running the paper is a sort of a side line with lots of people, who offer it advice in their spare moments with the same spirit as they play golf or pinocle. If the editor is for anything the a ntis condemn him, and vice versa.

If he takes a stand he is trying 16 dictate to the community. If he doesn't take a stand he is a molly coddle arid a jellyfish. He is a crank, a reformer, a fanatic, a four-flusher, a crook, a disturber of the peace, or just a plain idiot, according as he meets the desires of his subscribers or goes against them. And you are. The average man never thinks of the hours of soul sweating, brain-fagging takes to get out a paper.

He never thinks of the Worries, the trials, the tribulations every editor must undergo Some folks are so unappreciative of his efforts to boost the town and make money for them that they won't even contribute the price of subscription. Just remember this: The edi tor, apart from the perfectly laudable desire to make a decent living' for himself and has only the good of the community at heart. If he disagrees with you an any subject, political, moral or educational, you and not he may be wrong. It is very seldom a boy will do an. errand alone if he can find another boy.

Very little of the visible supply of modesty is devoted to damage suits. THRIFT does net mean Penuriousness! Its first principle consists in getting FULL VALUE for each Dollar of Income expended. 4 Getting less is not complimentary to the intelligence of even a Millionaire. Being liberal and generous, in affairs where it is proper and deliberate to be so, differs widely from being thriftless, thotightless and careless in buying things, on a business basis. A habit of "Jumping at Conclusions," instead of Thinking out these Conclusions, costs many a man a lifetime Un-success.

many Americans indolently act upon the shallow theory that an article "must be" WORTH more, merely because it Costs more. They are thus taxed a heavy price, all through life, for such an indolent habit of Thought. They work hard, industriously and intelligently, to acquire money. Then (for their personal needs) they "Spend it with a Spade." Is this complimentary to the judgment of even the Wealthiest? Do people become Wealthy who acquire the careless HABIT of "Spending Money," instead of intelligent, thoughtful BUYING with it? a £3 "ONEY cannot make BETTER Fabric ANY than Goodrich 47-Year 300,000,000 lbs.

3 THE LION K1FORTIR, THURSDAY, JULY 6,1916. Francis Marion Hamilton. Francis Marion Hamilton, called from the church militant to the church triumphant, after a few weeks illness that from its inception, impressed him that it was his last. Years ago he had set his house in order and lias walked in the shadow of the cross ol' Christ. ilis home was always open to the minister, and the writer has enjoyed the warm hospitality of fireside, and lias been enriched by his brotherly council.

He was preeminently a leader of church work in his community, generous to a 'auU and devout in hi every day lil'e, a four uquure man wherever you found him. His children rise up and call him blessed, his neighbors speak his piaise. The River View church and house are a part of his monument to the passerby. That great crowd of sympathizing neighbors that came from far and near Tuesday, June 27y 1916, at 10 clock were a living testimony of his worth and worthiness. A congregati'on in tears, a heartfelt sorrow on every face.

The music, sweet and tender, the lesson the Dlst Psalm, text 3 8-39 verses, Christ's undying love for His children. It was a melancholy pleasure for us to speak of such a man, to such an audience. The thought him dead while he slept, and seemed but asleep as he lay in his coffin. "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, from which none ever wake to weep." The parting look was taken and loving hands and tender hearts laid him to rest in the Hamilton cemetery, a parcel of ground given for this purpose, one mile northwest of Pleasanton, Iowa. This briefly is the biography of one who has filled a large place in the world's betterment and uplift for Christ and His kingdom.

May the Lord in His inscrutable providence biess and guide all that are bereft in this death, is the prayer of my heart, and especially the aged and afflicted wife and help her to lean hard on Jesus. Allen Hileman. John Allen Hileman was born in Audubon county, Iowa, September 8, 1S84, and died at his home north of Grand River, July 2, 1916, aged 31 years, 9 months and 24 days. He was left without the care of his mother when he was 3 years of age and for two years lived with his grandparents, A. A.

Burchett and wife at the end of which time his father having again married, John was- taken to his father's care and remained with him until his 15th year when he again went to make his home with his grandparents. He later went to Nebraska where he was married to Antania Hahman on Oct. 7, 1905. To this union four children were born, Arba Verana, Emma and Antania Verana, and Antania having preceded their father to the great beyond. Johnny as he was familiarly called by his friends and acquaintances, was a hard working, strictly honest man.

He was never too busy to lend a helping hand to his neighbors and friends in need. Many times has the writer seen his eyes filled with tears of sympathy when he knew of some one in sorrow. He, died in peace with his Master, Whom always reverenced as he expressed himself before the end. He leaves a sorrowing wife, two children and an innumerable host of friends, for to know him was to be his friend, to mourn his death. Funeral services were conducted at Camden Baptist church, July 3, by Rev.

E. C. Vanderpool, one of his early schoolmates, who paid him a beautiful tribute to his friendship. He was laid to rest in the Wheelis cemetery, close by his mother whom he never remembered and by the side of his baby daughter to await the great resurrection. The wife and mother have the sympathy of the entire community in this their greatest bereavement.

Mrs. Amos Chambers. Louisa J. Vogt Chambers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Henry J. Vogt, was born December 25, 1857, near Woodland, Iowa, and departed this life at her home in Leon, Iowa, Sunday, July 2, 1916. In 1912, with her husband and family she moved to Leon, where she resided ever since. Thus her entire life was spent in Decatur county. On February 28, 1884, she was married to Amos Chambers.

Four children were born to this union, namely, Olive, Guy, Mrs. Edith Waters and Gladys. Her departure is mourned by her husband, her children, one brother and two sisters. They deeply feel the loss of a faithful wife, a loving mother, a true and tried sister. Mrs.

Chambers was a sincere and faithful woman. It was her meat and drink to serve and for her loved ones and as she had opportunity she did good to all men. Her work on earth is done. She rests from her labors. -All who knew her speak well of her and cherish her memory.

It could not be otherwise. The funeral services were, held from the home Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Raoul R. Moser, pastor 1 J.

H. Burrows, An old pastor and brother in Christ. Francis M. Hamilton, horn in Platte county, Missouri, August 1845, and died in New Buda township, Decatur county, Iowa, June 25, 1916. He was the thirteenth cluld of William and Susannah Hamilton, pioneers of this part of the state, coming here before the land was sectioned and had a township named in his honor.

He enlisted in Co. 3rd Iowa Cavalry in February, 1864, and received an honorable discharge. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Henderson in 1866. Six children were the fruit of this union. He and his wife have lived fifty years on their present farm sharing together its joys and sorrows.

He leaves his aged and enfeebled wife, with six children and eighteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, with a multitude of friends to mourn his great loss to the church and to society. His chance for obtaining an education in early life was meager, that he often regretted. He possessed a generous nature and a warm heart. I of the local Methodist church, offlci- ating.

and li Asa Cochran Celebrate Golden Wedding. Tennyson said, In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." Evidently that was just as true fifty years ago as it is now, because fifty years ago this year, an affair of the heart between Mr. Asa Cochran and Miss Isabel Churcn readied such a stage that the services of a doctor of divinity were required. They were united in marriage at i.opkins, Michigan, 27, I860, by the Reverend Munson Barnes, a Baptist minister. In ia5 they moved to Decatur county, Iowa, thus becoming pioneer citizens of this section of the couivtry and assisting in founding Lamoni.

A good many citizens particularly relatives and more especially children and grandchildren, being intimately concerned in the wedding that occurred fifty years ago, determined it should be properly celebrated upon its fiftieth anniversary. Accordingly something over sixty relatives assembled at the home of Elder Asa Cochran on. Tuesday afternoon at about 4 o'clock. The home had been tastefully decorated in orange and white, and after seme hours of very pleasant social intercourse, including the taking of evaral pictures of the group, supper as served at about seven o'cioc'c. The supper consisted of two very ppetizing courses, served by the vo daughters and two of the family.

At the close of the meal Chas. F. Clinch made a very heartfelt speech in behalf of the company, and presented Mr. and Mrs. Cochran with a purse of money that had been contributed by the relatives.

He begged that the couple receive it as a t' ken of the affection and esteem of those assembled, a few "little old copper the copper coins in question proving to be five and ten dollar gold pieces. During the meal a program of music was rendered, including several solos, among them "When you and I were young, by Miss Frances Cochran, "Put on your old gray bonnett," by Master Ralph Cochran, and "Silver Threads among the Gold," by Master Carl Prall. We must not forget to mention the presence at this gathering of the mother of Mrs. Cochran, Mrs. Morse, now in her 95th year.
