DEATH OF MRS. JACOBS

Clarinda Campbell Mooney was
born Dec. 8, 1s46, in Clay county,
Mo. Died Tuesday, Jan. ID, at
Monte Vista. She was married
Sept. 26, 1872, at the home of her
parents in Clinton county, Mo-, to
George Jacobs. To this union
five children were born: Mamie
Agnes, now Mrs. Frank Sylvester;
daughter born in 1875, who died
in infancy; son, George Samuel,
born Dec. 23, 1876, and died Jan.
l3, 1879; Lydia Katherine, now
Mrs. 0. W. Sylvester, and Miss
Clara Jacobs.
George Jacobs died Sept. 20,
1911, aged nearly 76 years.
The funeral services of Mrs.
Jacobs were held Wednesday at
the home of o. W. Sylvester and
were conducted by DR.. Moore,
assisted by Rev. Orahood and Rev.
Kerry.
Mrs Jacobs had been i'll for
thirty years and helpless for the
past five years, being afflicted with
an incurable malady which affected
the joints of the body. During
the long period of her affliction
she maintained her poise of mind
and bore her sufferings with re-
markable patience and fortitude.
In recent years she longed for
death but while this was denied
she was always cheerful.
Mrs. Jacobs was almost a life
member of the Christian church
in which she took great comfort

not only provides an income for
the farmer direct but the benefit
to the soil from keeping the ami
mails is worth more than it costs
to keep them, in the crop returns.
Lamar, Colorado, has recently
secured milk condensery and the
business men and merchants were
glad to put up good, big bonus
to get it. The reason must be that
it is on account of the fact that the
money distributed among the farm

tire community.
The idea of the cheese factory

CURED on December 2Sth and 29th,
after Mr.. Flynn had been called to
Center the evening previous. Be-
fore starting to Center on the 9th,
he placed quantity of grain in
the feed box, On Sunday, the
2Stb, he fed the grain using the
last of it that evening. The fol-
lowing day every animal on the
place was taken ill. From this
sickness two deaths resulted.
The grain in this instance came
from an adjacent farm at the time
that DR.. Guyselman recommended
a complete change of feed in order
to avoid the supposed forage pois
on. When the animals again be-
came ill from eating this grain it
was apparent that some outside
form of poison was being placed in
the feed
Mr.. Flynn has under suspicion a
certain party whom he considers
responsible for the dirty work, but
for obvious reasons does not wish
to disclose his identity at the pres
ent time. A reward has been
offered by Mr. Flynn in the sum of
one thousand dollars for informa-
ton leading to the arrest and con-
viction of the guilty party.

LAMBS CETFAT ON SNOW

For the benefit of some mis-
guided, knocking, individuals, the
following instance is given show
ing what disastrous results have
been following the sheep feeding
industry in the Valley this winter:
Mrs. Cheney sold four cars of
lambs Monday and Tuesday on
the Kansas City market at eight
dollars which was within five
cents of the top. These lambs had
been fed south of Center on peas
in the field just 81 days and had
no other feed. The stuff was shipt
Friday of last week and when placed
on market Monday showed an
average gain of 10 pounds net, and
went through without Gull. Mrs.
Cheney has eight more cars of the
fame kind of lambs and they are
being finished in the same pea
fields and are not starving to death.

For Location Here

Mr.: Young, of the firm of Ed
munds & Young of Council Grove,
Kansas, who has been in Monte
Vista for the past two weeks dis
posing of a shipment of choice
Holstein COWS, has been solicited
by number of the business men
to establish a cheese factory at this
place. This firm, in addition to
their Holstein farm at Council
Grove, have creamery and cheese
factory and they desire to extend
their business by establishing a
factory in Colorado. Mr.. Edmunds
is at present in La Junta with this
object in view and we understand
that good bonus is being offered
by the business men and mer-
chants of that place to secure the
plant.
Mr.. Young says that the San
Luis valley is an ideal location for
the dairy business, having the ad-
vantage of cheap feed and sure
crop each year, together with
abundance of pure water and
healthy climate. He announced
that, as the proposition to locate
had been presented to him, he
would make a study of conditions
here and if they were favorable
and sufficient encouragement was
offered by the farmers he would
