Washington, November 20.—Saving
of fruit pits and nut shells is no long-
er necessary. The chemical warfare
section of the United States army to-
day informed the food administration
that the supply of fruit pits and nut
shells now on hands is sufficient to
meet the requirements for gas masks.

Do we think any the less of an I
Irishman who preserves a tender spot
in his heart for the old sod, or for a |
Frenchman or Italian, or a son of any
other alien country, because his heart
strings vibrate a sweeter melody at
the thought of the land of his fath-
ers? Ordinarily, a man who has no
kindly feeling for the land whence he
or his forbears came to America, will
never learn to love his adopted coun-
try.

Matagorda, Texas, November 20.—
Mrs. Wilhelmina Zipprian, wife of Mr.
Christian Zipprian, died at their home
at Big Hill, November 4, 1918, after
several weeks of illness, beginning
with influenza after which she devel-

Mrs. Zipprian was born in Germany
and came here with her parents when
very small.
She was Miss Wilhelmina Franz
and the youngest of four children;
was married to Mr. Zipprian many
years ago, of which union there are
five children and at her death was 80
years old. Hers has been a long and
