OBITUARY-ALBERS Mrs. Anna Albers died at St. Francis Hospital in Wichita last Thursday evening, May Death was due to extreme weakness caused by worry and overwork, owing to the absence of the only which left home, who had been among the first of the drafted men to go into service.

She was past 64 years and had army, been very active all her life, and very much devoted to her family, for whom she could never do too much. She was fondly awaiting the return of her son Frank, who was a private in Battery of the 130th Field Artillery and would have been home soon from being mustered out at Camp Funston. Death came to her before he could reach home. Mrs. Albers, whose maiden name was Anna Mueller, was born July 12, 1854, at Germantown, Clinton county, Ill.

She was married to Joseph Albers May 5, 1874, at Germantown, where they lived until March of 1904. They then removed to Sedgwick county. Kansas, three miles north of Garden Plain, and in the spring of 1907 came to Kingman county, where they made their home about six miles north of Nashville. The body was brought from Wichita to Kingman Friday evening and taken from there to the family home a mile east of St. Leo.

Burial took place at 10 o'clock Saturday morning from the Catholic church at St. Leo, conducted by Rev. Father Kienhoeffer. The surviving members of the family are her husband, Joseph Albers, two sons, Ben of St. Leo and Frank in the army, and a daughter, Minnie Albers, who is at home.

Frank arrived just in time for the funeral. The others are Mrs. Mary Meyer of Fowler, Mrs. John Kerschen of Hooker, Herman Albers of Andale, J. H.

BAPTIST CHURCH Longfellow said, "Even He who died upon the cross, in the last hour, in the unutterable agony of death, was mindful of His mother; as if to teach us that this holy love be our last worldly thought--the last point of earth from which the soul should take its flight for Heaven." Next Sunday let us pay special honor to the mothers who have gone and also to the living.

We would like to welcome as many mothers and fathers, too, as can be with us next Sunday morning at 11:15. We are expecting to hear from one of our boys returned from overseas. B. Y. P.

The guests, whose number included most of the music lovers of Kingman society, assembled delighted at the prospect 'of hearing a recital by the celebrated Mr. Glen Ellison, assisted by Pauline Lawrence. But a surprise was in store for them. Not one Mr. Ellison, but two, sang to the snell-bound audience; and the piano selections were played this by two Pauline Lawrences.

And phenomenon was brought about by means of a graceful cabinet, which stood beside the artists on the stage, and matched their preformances, note for note and tone for tone. The first nerformance of the miracle was in the initial number on the program, when Mr. Ellison, in unison with bestanding side the cabinet, sang Mr. Edison's of his voice. In the midst of the song, own Ellison's lins ceased to move but his went on without a break.

Mr. song Slowly it dawned upon the astonished audience that the artist was no longer singing though his voice came forth to them as clear and sweet as ever. He sang again--and the only perceptible difference was the motion of his lips. He ceased--but his voice that did not. Veritably it seemed there were two singers upon the stage -tw.

singers but only one voice. For the tones which came the New Edison matched those from the living artist so perfectelv that it was impossible detect any difference. The instrument produced not an echo Ellison's or conv, but the real -Mr. voice unspoiled by any mechanical transformations; untainted by any metallic ring. After the applause which followed this remarkable exhibition, Pauline Lawrence came share the stage with her fellow musician, the New Edison.

Again two artists were before us, for Pauline Lawrence with the piano played in unison with the RE-CREATION of her art. Only by watching her could we tell we were hearing one Pauline Lawrence and when her music came to us in double measure. The instrumental RE-CREATION was as perfect as Mr. Ellison's delightful voice. It was identical with the original in every particular.

Successive numbers on the program proved that the field of the New Edison is not limited to vocal and piano records. An orchestra selection was RE-CREATED A with such fidelity that it was possible to follow the notes of any single instrument throughout the piece, for the identity of each was preserved, contributing its special color to ensemble. A RE-CREATION of a number on the violin was a revelation to those who hd decided after hearing talking machine records, that the violin tone could not be reproduced. Further numbers in which Mr. Ellison and Pauline Lawrence 1 performed with themselves served to convince the audience of their inability to distinguish between RE-CREATED art and its original.

Any working part on an Avery tractor can be renewed and installed by yourself without the aid of expert help. For example-should you wear a cylinder wall, you don't need to buy a whole new cylinder, just simply get a new wall, and put it in. Avery tractors have adjustable main crank shaft bearings, all you need is a socket wrench to adjust them to take the wear.

up No expert help is needed. These are just two of the many features in an Avery tractor which help to eliminate loss of time and service expense. Remember that Avery's are the tractors with the perfected opposed motors and patented sliding frame transmissions. Conte in and see them. Frank H.
