smaller Farms.

We believe that no small part Of our
farmers are ."land poor" not in the
sense that the term is often used that
they have much land that does not pro-
duce enough TO pay the taxes and in
terest on the yalue-though some or
them are even that badly off-but many
have much more land than they can
cultivate as II should be and more than
they can keep up near to It's proper
productive condition. They may use
most OF 1t In some way and think they
get an income from It. but a large
share Of those who really make money
ut farming make ii upon but a smah
part Of the farm. A few acres OF
meadow near the barns, the orchard
and the garden are profitable For the
rest. If they sold It or rented it to some
one who would put fertilizer and labor
on it and produce as much on one acre
as is now produced on three, 1t would
be more profitable to the present owner
and to the buyer or renter. More small
farms. more intensive farming and
closer looking after the best possible
results from small areas are what We

Obituary.

Last Sunday the remains of Francis
Wolf arrived from Brush, Colorado,
where he died, April 18th, while on
his way to hospital at Denver, Colo
RADIO. The deceased was born in Gin
ton county, Iowa, February II, 1868,
and came west with his parents when
five years of age. Ere he had reached
mans estate his parents moved into
Audubon and he became we'll known
as an honest, energetic young man,
worthy of confidence and trust, He
was member of the volunteer fire de.
partment and ran with the boys at
Cedar Rapids when they won the
championship belt. In 1872 he went to
Nebraska and settled near Howell.
Every indication shows that he was a
member of that great volunteer army
that went across the dark Pacific 10
over topple the already crumbling dy-
nasty of Spain. His comrades write
that he served as a Sergeant in Com
pany Oh, First Nebraska United
States Volunteer Infantry. If so he
doubtless contracted the disease of
which he died in that faraway land,
when with patriotic devotion he so
Loyalty helped to slap the face of tyran-
ny riding rough shod and uncurbed
over civilization, fawning at the shades
of a once glorious career, but now bur-
led beneath the debris of the righteous
wrath Of our soldiery. To him belongs
the homage ola soldiers grave; the
salaute of 100000 voices laundering
the applause of advanced civilization;
the acclaims of those dark hued bond
men whom time will give the inherent
right of liberty, peace and homes. One
more mound of ungrassed sod remains
to receive the benediction of flowers
and tears on Memorial Day.
The funeral services were conducted
at the Catholic church by Father
Lotus. The volunteer fire depart
ment turned out to honor their past
companion, and added beautiful
floral wreath to the decorations. After
the ceremony at the church the body
was inferred in the Catholic cemetery
south of town.
