IF their growth. This is particularly

den. and fortunately there are many
easy and simple methods of providing
them with shade. Empty soap boxes
raised on blocks. empty fruit baskets,
rolls of carpet and mating spread out
on supports to look like awnings may
all be used. Old mattings or carpets

DEATH OF c. L. FARNswoRrH

George Farnsworth died Mon
day evening, Oct 26, at the home
of his parents in Monte Vista,
after several weeks illness, aged
80 years and six months. Mr..
Farnsworth suffered an injury at
the base of the brain about five
years ago and never fully recovered
from the effect of it. About two
months ago the pain became SO
severe that he decided to undergo
an operation in order to obtain re-
lief. Accordingly he went to the
Salida hospital but the surgeon
there decided that an operation
would be useless. He returned to
Monte Vista and for time seemed
to improve, but about two weeks
ago began to sink very rapidly and
all hope of his recovery was
abandoned.
George l.. Farnsworth was born
in Will county, ILL.,, April 8, 1873.
In 1876 his parents removed to
Russell, Kansas. where George was
graduated from the high school in
1892. The family moved to Monte
Vista in 1896.
Funeral services were held
in the Methodist church Thurs
day conducted by Rev. Edgerton.
