Dies EnrOute to Norway.

Ed. Newford, better known here
as Ole Larsen, who was employed as
barber in the shop of Hauswirth &
Shima for some time, and recently
resigned to go to the home of his
father in Norway, on account of poor
health from kidney trouble, died on
board ship enroute to his fathers
home in Norway. He was found
dead in his cabin as he was nearing
the shores of his native land, in
search of health. He was a very
popular young man here with every
one who knew him, and the news of
his sad death is a shock to all his
friends here.

OBITUARY..
FaI.nSWOrth,

Lucy Pardee, daughter of Thank
full and Ebenezer Pardee, was born
January 90, 1924, in CORTLAND
county, n. Y, near the village of
Homer.
There were seven children in the
Pardee family-six girls and one
boy. Only one now remains-Mrs.
Olivia Teetshorn, the youngest child,
who lives five miles out of town in
Winneshiek county.
Lucy Pardee was married March
%, 1914, TO Milo Rice Farnsworth.
The two were born and raised in
CORTLAND county. In childhood they
attended the same school; were in
the same classes some of the time,
and felt no twinge of modification
if they CHANGED to occupy the same
seat in school. Their entire lives
were blended in mutual interests
from their earliest memory.
After marriage they made homes
in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. Ten
children blessed the union, but only
six survive-a trio of brothers and
as many sisters. Byron Farnsworth,
the absent son of Lima, Wis, with
his wife, spent several weeks with
his mother recently. Mrs. Walter
Norton of Great Falls, Mont, came
short time ago to be with her
mother in her last days. The re-
naming four, Clinton and Frank,
Mrs. Eta Vance and Mrs. Dee Cady
are in or near Cresco.
Two years, one month and four
days after 65 years of married life,
Mr.. Farnsworth fell asleep and Mrs.
Farnsworth has fingered, in her most
feeble condition, until June 80, 1911,
as the sun went down, she too, like
tired child, went to rest. Her en-
tire life has been one of marked
consistency.
Mrs. Farnsworth was for many
years a member of the Congregation
al church at Whitewater, Wis, but
eight years ago she became interest
ed in the Advent doctrine and be-
came a charter member of the organ
ization in Cresco.
Services were held at the home
on Elm street, Saturday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. ]. NJ. McComas OF
Mason City. The remains were ac-
companied to Whitewater, Wis, by
Frank Farnsworth and Mrs. Vance
and laid beside her husband.-Cres-

WIN FIFTEEN INNING GAME.
DEBORAH Ball Team Come Home
With the Bacon From Cler-
mont on the Fourth.

Manager Wick and the DEBORAH
ball team covered themselves with
glory yesterday, when they wallop-
ped fast team Of Elgin and Cler-
mont players in a fifteen inning
game at Clermont. The boys played
an air-tight game in the torrid heat,
never giving up a moment until they
had bagged the winning score in the
fifteenth inning, the score being 6
to 3. Those who saw the game say
that it was a hummer, and it must
have been. Rogue pitched four
innings, in fine shape, after which
Riggs did the twirling for eleven
innings, without giving hit, and
only two bases on balls. Knowlton
at first sprained his knee in the sec>
ond inning, and then Wick held the
initial sack for thirteen innings
Here's the lineup:
Rogue, p.
Ryggs, p. SIS.
Erickson, C.
Knowlton, 1st b.
Wick, 1st b.
Bernatz, End b.
Shea, 3rd b.
Dotseth, If.

Anderson, IF.
The DEBORAH team is one of the
best We have had in years, and will
play great ball before the summer
closes. Games are being arranged
with Postville here July 30th and
other nearby towns.

Little four-year-old Billy was Wis

Jerry's mother asked with grave So
licitude:

Loses Game to Postyille.

The ball game between DEBORAH
and Postville on Sunday was won by
Postville, score II to 6. Our boys
drove down before the game in the
heat and dust, and when they ar
rived they were in poor condition to
play. 1t was a ragged game, full of
errors on both sides. Bernatz and
Riggs pitched for the local team.

Delicacy.

A young man who had lost his
wife married his deceased wife's sis
ter while still in mourning. While on
his honeymoon a friend of his whom
he had not seen for a long time met
him in a restaurant. The friend,
after being introduced to the bride,
said, sympathetically
But whom are you mourning
for, old MANI" a
For my sister-in-law," was the
delicate reply.

JULY A SIZZLER.
Government Thermometer Ranging
From 103 to los, Maximum
Temperature, and Fields
Burning Up.

Now is the time for the oldest
inhabitant to get out his diary and
refresh his memory upon the hottest
times he has ever seen, for it will
keep him pretty busy to find a week
that will equal the past one. If
the first four days of July are any
criterion of what the month has in
store for us, there are sizzling times
ahead, for each day the thermometer
has shot up way past the hundred
mark, and everybody has felt like
jus layin' round and dom nothin ,
and most everybody has been doing
it.
The government thermometer at
F. II. Bakers, way up on the hill
where it is always cooler than down
town, has been cutting up capers
every day for week. The record
for the first four days of July is a
corker, and today bids fair to beat
it. Here it is:
July 1-104.
July POS.
July BOB.
July 400.
July SOP.
AS a result of the extreme hot
weather, the grain, which has been
doing remarkably we'll, is suffering
intensely these days, while the corn,
one of the best stands we have ever
had, is curling up with the heat. The
result will be disastrous unless rains
come this week, but in some parts
of the county, especially the north
ern part, there were good showers
Yesterday, and we are all expecting
that rain will come in time to save
the crops. Winneshiek county is in
much better condition to stand the
drouth than almost any other section
of the middle west, but even this
county cannot stand such weather
as We have had the past week very
long without rain.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, March 1.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of IA to 1S points on the old crop months and an ad- vance of to points on the new. This advance was in sympathy with the rise in the other future markets of the world over the holidays here. The new croI months were held down by cold and wet weather in Texas and Oklehoma, which was generally regarded as most favorable for putting seed in the ground and kill ing off insects just coming out of hiberna- tion. The demand was good after the call and appeared to be about equally d. yided between the two accounts. At the end of the first half hour of trading the old crops were 20 to 24 points up, while the new crops were six up.
 Toward the middle of the morning rather heavy profit taking by longs be- gan to be seen and the market reacted Enough fresh buying came in, however, to hold the market steady and prevent For the first time in several weeks buy ing for outsiders was factor in the sit uaton. Commission houses had good or ders by wire from many points in the ln- terior At noon the market was quiet and steady, to Il points down from the high est, the old crops standing at a net ad- vance of IS to IA points and the new crops at a net advance of to points.
 In the afternoon session the market was quiet The new crops months were neg lected. At 2 o'clock the old crops were l9 points over Mondays close.
 The market closed steady at net ad- vance of to 21 points.

THE BIZ ADVANCE CAUSED REACTION Prices Firmed in the Late
 Trading NEW CROP FALLS OFF Highest Point of Movement Reached in Late Trading With Close at Advance of to 9 Points on
 Active Months

New York, March 1.-The cotton mar ket showed a somewhat reactionary tendency at times during todays trad ing, as the big advance from the re- cent low level appeared to attract con- siderable realizing, but while quite a sharp setback occurred during the mid dle of the day prices firmed up again, reaching the highest point of the move ment In the late trading with the close at a net advance of from to 9Spoints on active crop months. The new crops were two points net lower.
 The opening was steady at a de- cline of to points in sympathy with reactionary cables but there was a continuation of yesterdays covering movement and a renewal of bull sup port on the call which soon sent ac- tive positions up to a net advance of to 6 points with May cotton sell ing at 14.55c. At this level offerings became heavier. There were indications that some of the leading longs were reducing their lines and local profes- sionals became rather more aggressive on the short owing to increased es- inmates of the weeks into-sight pre- dictions of a falling off in the export movement and reports that the de- mand for spot cotton was not following the advance above 14.o0c for May. Prices eased off in consequence, May selling down to 14.44c or points net lower while July broke to net loss of about 10 points but bulls gave re- newed support on the decline and fol- lowing rumors from Washington that the Senate had agreed to vote on the I-reciprocity bill. thus obviating the ne- cessity for an extra session and rem dering action upon the Scott bill still more unlikely. there was renewal of general buying which included cov- ering by early sellers and which sent May contracts up to 14.59c or 10 points net higher, nearly S4.50 per bale above the low level of February 15. The close was within a point or two of the top. New crop months were quiet and relatively easy all day as south ern advices indicated a generally fla Receipts at the ports today, 16,941 bales against 14,35S last week and 16,- 766 last year.

CORN BRACES UP SOME
Stock Yard Interests Took the Bull Side in Provisions-Expect a
 Small Showing in Products A on Hand

Chicago, March 1.-Sudden buying on a large scale this afternoon for leading speculator gave wheat firm close, al though the market early went far be- meath even the latest of the recent reces- sions of new low records for the season The finish was at the same figures as IS hours before to A@ssc down. Corn made a net gain of 1sc to ssa1kc, oats a rise of lsc to shade off, and provisions 10c to 171z920c advance.
 Some of the encouragement for pur- chasers of wheat came from increased flour sales in the northwest. Then, too primary receipts were lighter and atten- tion was drawn to the fact that March ordinarily have proved a month of cror scares. On the other hand no improve ment appeared in the demand for cash wheat here. All domestic markets were lower, because cf the general snow and rain throughout the American winter wheat belt and in consequence of repor, showing IA points improvement in the con dltion of Oklahoma fields
 Simultaneously, European prices had become weak as & result of large Argen- tine and Australian offerings at figures that looked surprisingly cheap. Bearish sentiment here was practically unanimous al the outset and there was a fresh sup ply of wheat brought on sale by the bulge. However, all the late offerings were promptly taken and the final trans actions were at nearly the top for the session. May ranged from SS1sc to S9Ac closing Aqssc net lower at Sslsc.
 Export business here and discovery that the country had sold but little since Mon day braced up corn after a period oi weakness, due to cold weather. The late bullish turn in wheat was also a big fac tor. May fuctuated between 459sq45a4c and 4Sc, with the close firm at 4Sc, nei advance of ss@11c. Cash corn was In mod crate demand.
