this character equal to or slightly in
excess of last years. In some sections,

business. The man who lives a long
distance from market will seldom find
it profitable to grow small fruit that
must be hauled several miles in the
hot sun to be marketed. The man who
lives a long distance from market
should try to sell finished products
from his farm. Butter, eggs, cheese,
pork, beef and mutton are finished prod
ucts that can be successfully marketed
for long distances.

Sioux City Journal.
Mrs. John F. Oliver, wife of
Judge Oliver, Of Onawa, died at
a Sioux City hospital at 1920
O'Clock, Thursday night. AL
though Mrs. Oliver had been i'll
some time, the end came rather
unexpectedly. The members of
the Immediate family were at
her bedside.
Mrs. Oliver, who formerly
was Miss Lena Held, of lie
Mars, was married at LIE Mars
about nine years ago. She was
a member of the Order of the
Eastern Star, and an active
worker in the Onawa Congre-
tional church. She visited Sioux
City frequently, and had many
friends here.
About a week ago Mrs. Oliver
was brought to this city for an
operation, which was not regar-
ded as serious. The immediate
cause of death was peritonitis,
which developed unexpectedly.
The funeral was held at 2::3O
p. M, Saturday afternoon at the
family residence at Onawa.
The deceased had many ac-
quaintances in this city, having
visited the Eastern Star Char
ter here, and her death will be
regretted by a large circle of
friends in the order.
