EDWIN DUNSWORTH
HAS PASSED AWAY

Edwin Dunsworth, the only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. b. Dunsworth
who. is quite generally believed ac-
cidently shot himself Saturday even
ing between and 8 o'clock, died
Sunday morning about 4 o'clock in
the hospital.
Some four years ago Edwin fell
from the second storey of the barn
and broke his arm in two places and
hurt his head since which time he
has never been like the same boy and
il is also generally believed that his
brain was affected as the result OF
the fall. and since which time he at
times and quite generally wholly I'M
like he was before. Before ne
was a very obedient child and since,
ne has been more or less inclined to
want his own way.
1t appears that both he and his
father wer down town Saturday al
ternoon and evening land in some
way. though under age, got hold OF
some liquor. His father took him
home and after being there short
time the report of gun was heard
i'm the room where he was and he
called his father and told him he had
shot himself. He appeared happy
and had been cutting capers around
and singing up to the time oil the
shooting and it is believed that he
undertook to take the rifle down out
of the rack when it was accidently
discharged the ball striking him IN
the stomach, perforating the intes-
tines in such a manner that the case
was necessarily fatal.
The bereavcd parents have the
sympathy of the entire communt!
in their sad bereavement of the IDOL
of their hearts.
Mrs. Dunsworth. who had been IN
Iowa with her father for a couple
of months was wired to and arrived
last afternoon. The funeral VIII

Not a Two Sided Question
From a Publishers View

Some merchants who are doing
business in a small way argue that
it will not pay them to advertise be-
cause they cannot afford to buy the
space that large advertisers use.
They forget that very often the large
advertiser began buying space in a
small way and the aid the advertise
ing did him enabled him to increase
his business and his advertising APP
preparation at the same time.
1t would be just as reasonable to
argue that. il would not pay to start
a small store because the merchant
could not afford the big building
that the big merchant occupies Ev
erything is relative. The small bust
ness needs only a small store and
only small advertisement. But a
business can be made profitable il
limited quarters, and successful adj
vertising can be done without using
pages or half pages
The editor of this paper knows
good deal about advertising. His in
formation and advice are yours fol
the asking. He is interested i'll max
ing your advertising pay, and the
fact that the advertisement is small
does not count. Better consult hin
and see if you can't hit on a plas
that will be mutually profitable.

HOW TO CHOP UP CITRON.
Woman's Versatility Gets Another
Chance to Assert Itself.

"Woman's versatility was proved to
me the other day by my wife," de-
clarcd Mr.. Newlywed.
"She was preparing the ingredients
for n mixture which she intended TO
bake into cake guaranteed digestible.
Only one thing was needed to make
the mixture complete. That was the
citron.
There was a supply of citron in the
pantry, and my wife took down some
of it and set me to work cutting 1t In
small pieces. Armed with small veg
etable knife. set to work cutting the
pieces into squares. When | accom-
plished this my idea was to cut the
squares into smaller pieces and gradu-
ally reduce the pieces to the required
size.
1T was an arduOus task. The citron
either stuck to the knife or the cutting
board. and was forced to stop and re-
move a tiny piece from the knife be-
fore attempting to cut larger piece.
1t was necessary to lie extremely care
full for fear the knife would slip and
cut my hand.
Just when | thought l was getting
along goriously my wife decided that
| was taking too much time to do the
work | explained it was slow WORK

BILE. She reached into the cupboard
and took out the meat chopper, at

threw it into the pieces of citron. Then
she set me to turning the crank, ana
behold the citron came out the other

work consumed about five minutes

HOW TO SAVE THE
WHEAT IN CUTTING

A great deal of wheat is wasted by
improper methods of caring for the
grain after it is cut Careless hands
easily may waste more than their
wages during harvest.
The "binder man" should be careful
in driving so that he may not ''cut and
cover or leave strips of uncut wheat
as he drives across the field. Many
carloads of wheat are lost in Kansas
every year by such poor driving. Be
careful when cutting the blacksmith
also. Many grain raisers think that
the blacksmith is not worth saving be-
cause of small heads, and they fire.
quently do not go to the labor Of cut
ting the wheat along the edges of the
field While it is true that the heads
frequently are not so well developed
as the heads farther out in the field,
the blacksmith always should be cut.
Wheat that is cut with binder
should be shocked in medium size
shocks, which always should be capped
with two bundles. 1t pays to cap
wheat shocks. Break the heads and
butts Of the cap bundles before they
are placed on the shocks and then
place them at right angles to one an
other. Smooth and settle them firmly
in place before you leave the shock.
Pick up all the loose wheat near the
shock, and If there is enough to make

cream-countless odds and ends have
to be saved. Frequently they occupy a
large part Of the pantry crOckery.
Most Of the improvised receptacles lack
covers, yet it is important to protect
the contents. Paper covers will do the
work. They are light, clean and con-
venient and once the knack Is acquired

as chemists use, is the best for the
purpose 1t is inexpensive and so soft
and tough that it can be folded several
times without breaking.

then with your left hand hold the oc'

IL you have made the cap correctly
you can easily remove it from any
smooth edged receptacle, such as
tumbler, and use it again and again.

STACK THE WHEAT AS SOON AS 1T is CURED.
even a small size bundle bind it by
hand. If there is not. put it in the
shock between a couple of bundles.
If any of the cap bundles are blown
off the shocks go over the field care
fully and put them back.
When the wheat is cured and ready
to stack. stack it. 1t never pays to
wait for a thrashing machine that
may be here the first of next week."
There is not much labor saved by
thrashing from the shock anyway
when the wasted time of the hands
when the machine is stopped is con-
sidered. and it never pays to let the
wheat stand in the shock after it Is
ready to stack. Too many things can
happen to the machine.
When the machine does come get
some men that have some intelligence
to pitch the grain into the feeder. II
the grain is fed into the machine with
the heads first in a steady. uniform
rate the concaves of the machine can
be frightened up so the wheat may be
knocked QUE Of the heads better. The
grain can be separated from the straw
much better also if the machine is
carrying an even load all Of the time.
And. finally, have some wheat haulers
that can get that grain to the bin with
out leaving a trail of grain behind
them. Most haulers don't have that
ability-Kansas lndustrialist.

As a change from the strenuous ex-
ercises usually advised for obesity by
expensive specialists why not embOdy
these gymnastics in the everyday task
thereby adding interest to the tasks
and grace to the body? If your waist
is inclined to thickness you can incline
it to suppleness by always washing
your hands in the bottom Of the bath
tub. Do this. If possible, without bend
ing the knee. If faithfully pursued
this little practice will accomplish as
much as ten minutes of bending ex-
ercises.
Have you desire to improve your
carriage and add weight to your ap-
pearance? Have the hooks in your
wardrobe almost beyond your reach SO
that every time you go for your hat or
a garment you will have to stretch
your arms upward and stand on tip
toe.
Do not sit down to put on your shoes
and stockings. You may have to per-
form all sorts Of queer antics to accom-
plish your purpose. but the bending ex-
ercise you go through in doing so is
worth more than those Of the gymna-
SUM, because you will work harder
with tangible object in view.
Hairbrushing is a wearisOme task,
but If the desire to move with grace
Is put into every stroke and II the
wrist is held firm the action Is certain
to be an excellent hand and wrist ex-
ercise. If you do your own marketing

ing exercises of your household work
may be transformed into benefits II
they only will be considered in that
light and If the mind will work with
the body in tabulating them as bene-
ficial exercises instead Of physical ex-
ertions.

REP ORTS GROSSLY
ii ExLGGERIIED

Persons Ewho have visited the
camp of Rochester. in Humboldt
county. worthy Of reliance. are
strongly advising their frien Dc and
acuairtances against going to the
camp at this time and many persons
are deploring the character of
publicity that is being done to
advertise the district and attract
to it stampede of mining men and
camp followers. A man who has
just returned to Goldfield from
Rochester declares that there are
only forty men employed there in
the mining district and a large
number of idle men, who have little
hope of securing any immediate
employment, and including
number who are ill. The altitude
is about 5000 feet and while the
amount of snow has not been great
the cold has heen severe at times,
particularly the nights. which are
always cold in che northern part
of the state. :.
Mining men who are not biased
in their opinions declare that there
is nothing to justify a rush to the
district during the winter season.
The district is now regarded as one
of good promise. but in all probable
ity it will prove one in which Large
bodies of milling ore will be opened
and it is in no sense a poor mans
camp or leasing camp such as
the high-grade camps of the state.
There are no deep working, all the
ore yet exposed being near the sur
face, and the'persistence of ore at
depth remains to be proved. al
though the indications are pro-
nounced favorable for depth. 1t is
said that many of the reports of
discoveries are grossly exaggerated.
