Tuesday afternoon:a.host of friends gathered at the home^-so iong graced by her presence and'listened to a just and glowing tribute from Rev. H. I,. Caulkins. pastor of. the deceased, whose appreciation' of her worth and consolation for those nearest her were couched in tender and sympathetic language. On every side of the room and surroundlni; the casket wa.s a pro­fusion of tlowers, perhaps tho most cherished object to her outside of a human life. Sitting near to their de­parted former leader were the I-Cin.ij's Daughters to whom she had endeared herself throuirh loving d.-votion and loyal service.

i-'our brothers-in-law. Georjte .\.. Frank M., and H. Elmer Kimball, and Henry J. Couper. laid the body to rest in a bed ot tlowers upon which the genial rays of the lowering sun cast a final benediction.

Mrs. Kimliall. who was Alice f'ham-bcrlain, flrst lived In Clinton, where she was horn tifty years ago. Her residence later changed to N'orth Dana and N'ashua. X. i-I. At an eariy age she was bereft of father and niother. consequently self-reliance. ever a strong element in her charatcer, was early developed. She came to Little­ton when oniy fourteen, but even then she assumed responsibilities of a ma­ture woman.

A regular attendant at tlie Baptist church and an earnest listener and ready scholar she eagerly imbibed the truth as it was presented from pastor and teacher liuilt thereupon a chris­tian character of the sturdy enduring type and developed Into beautiful womanhood. Wh.itever cause needed assistance found in her a ready, will­ing and cheerful worker. The Sunday school called for a teacher and. she came to Its assistance. Tho Christian Endeavor society felt the pulse of her sympathies, the Benevolent society, the Missionary soriety and whatever other organiz.\tion waa connected with the church hore the fruits of faithful, consecrated service from her never-idle hands. Had she lived till theflrst of July her church membership would have covered .i period of thirty ye.ars.

Her.interes; in everything that con­tributes to the w-olfare. comfort and happiness of a human being brought Mrs. Kimbal; int - touch with many classes and onditions of people and whenever sh. could minister to their needs she di.l so. utterly forgetful of self. una.ssuni.;-cl>. and with genuine sympathy. Through the King's Daughters esr*-ci:»lly she rendered an efflclent servir-^ of love and nelghbor­llness for mar.v \. -irR. The Woman's club and other ---.'-iotles had claimed her Interes: .-iii.i .-.iiiport. To every­body w-ho kn.-w -^r she was a dear friend, alwavs tlioi:t,-htful, considerate, kihd and .-it>oiri.i • with cheer, but the largest spln^r-- slio tilled «-as in the homo as w;t.- md mother.

Standards Why is it that United Stat^ Tires

are setting ne'w records for mileage and serviceability ?

Why is it that the sales of these tires are constantly mounting by leaps and bounds ?

Thie answer is found in the fac­tories where United States Tires are made.

Standards of construction for these tires are higher than ever be­fore known in the tire industry.

Makers of tire fabrics tell us that the standards we have given them for United States Tire fabrics are higher than any previously known.

Like'wise through every process of constniction from crude rubber to finished tires—we have set new and higher standards everywhere.

These standards work out on your car in the practical economy de­manded by war-times.

United States Tires will raise any car to higher efficiency.

There is a type to suit every con­dition of service.

The nearest United States Sales and Service Depot dealer will cheer­fully aid in sielecting ,right tires for your requirements.

for t h e Bluejackets Our boys in the na'vy enjoy their Bevo. The esteem in which it is held by the entire Na'vy Depart­ment is dearly indicated by the fact that it is sold and served on all U. S. vessels and in training camps. Afloat or ashore, you will find Bevo unusually, refreshing, good and healthful.' Soft in the strictest sense, but a thoroughgoing man's drink. Try it by itsdf, or with a bite to eat. Served everywhere—families supplied by grotxrs, druggists or dealers.
