This has been an event of tho past IS years, at least, nnd was made possible through the efforts of the late Rob ert WIthycombe, co-opcratlng with grango leaders. And during those years tho address of welcome was al ways given by Mr. WIthycombe. In 1917, M. L. Carter, the Sandrldge poet, had been asked to respond to Mr. Withycombe's words of welcome, and he remembers that his response went something like this: Every year when summer comes And crops are growing 'round, When sun, with warmth is calling, forth . The riches of the ground. The farmer gets to thinking That his life Is rather slow And there's something In his system V.AHhY LATHING Carl Fuller, of near Allcol reports tho first lambing on tho Sandrldge at least the' first which has come to our attention.

Fifteen ewes havo hnd 26 lambs, Mr. Fuller re ports, 2a of which lived and 1 are doing nicely. Over lowfli , Cove. , way, .George and -Virgin Ohadwick, activo 4-H club members , sons of Mr. nnd Mrs. Lynn Chad wlck roport a number of lambs, with several pairs of twins, and some came before Christmns.

Citizens, Neighbors, Friends Pay Tribute to Late Co-Worker In Large Memorial Gathering ,At tho memorial services held for Robert WIthycombe at the Methodist Episcopal church in Union Sunday morning, the following tributes were paid him. C: L. Cadwell as mayor of the city, spoke briefly as follows: "We are grouped together this morning In one of God's tabernacles to pay our tribute and respect to one. who had lived among us many years. It is very hard to express the heartfelt feeling which we cherish: for "Bob. ' In looking over hi years cf administration, we find many things worthy of commemoration. In nil he did he cherished one ambition to be of some benefit to human kind. Not one act during all his connection with civic affairs did he do to besmirch his record. He car ried one ideal he was always look ing ahead so that his actions might be of some benefit to his fellow man. . "He cheerfully accepted posts of responsibility that ordinarily exposed one to criticism and censure, but he never shirked responsibility on that account. He worked untiringly as president and director of the stock show, and was far ahead of any of us In his thoughts and ideas, fie never refused to give advice, good clean, sound advice. v , "We are all deeply grieved over our loss. We shall never again hear that cheery greeting, 'bless your old heart and 'honest Injun. We are happy to- have known him and to have been numbered among his friends. We deem it one of our great est privileges to have known 'Bob." : L. Z. Terrall then gave the follow ing tribute: "We are here today In the presence of the great mystery, the great ex periment through which we must all pass at some time. "Wo have met to pay tribute to the memory of our friend and neigh bor, commonly known to most of us 'Bob.' We have known him these many years as he has gone In and out among us In the pursuit of his dally labors, and as he collaborated in tho work of the community and the service to his fellowman. "If each of us should tell of him and his work, there are certain char acteristics that all would mention. Whatever our general impression might be, each would mention his genial, kindly nature, his sunny dis position, his honesty and Integrity, his love of people, his fine ability to aid in work for others and his ca pacity for friendship. There would be a general mention of his infec tious enthusiasm, his devotion to his work, nnd a wealth of reminiscences of mutual experiences that stand out cieur ana snarp in cne memory oi eacn or us; and through them all would be the conviction that v0 were privileged to know and work I with one of God's true noblemen, a friend and companion of sterling character a follower of the Master In the service of his fellowman.
