MRS. CARTER
Dies; DEATH
WAS DUE TO
STARVATION
Will and Obituary Made Public;
Funeral Tomorrow With G.
A. R. Circle in Charge.

Mrs. Clara b. Carter, the wei.
known Grand Junction nurse. who
has been slowly dying OF starvation
at the Nelson hospital hospital for
several weeks, passed away shortly
after midnight last night. A post
mortem examination was made to
day TO determine the cause of the
woman's inability to keep food on
her stomach. but the three surgeons
who conducted II declared that they
are unable to find any pathological
condition which would be responsible
for her death.
Mrs. Carter's will, the plans for
her funeral and her obituary were
all made public today. For weeks
the dying woman had taken a grew
some pleasure in working out the
arrangements for her funeral. For
instance, she didn't wish her relatives
to be notified by telegraph as she
did not want any personal moruners
at the grave. She did. however. de-
sire largely attended funeral and
requested that her friends attend in
body.
Harry L. Wohlfort was made exec
utor of her will. which will be filed
at once. Her estate amounts to
about $4,000. and her first wish was
for her bills to be paid from this
amount, which is represented by life
insurance policies. Mr.. Wohlfort is
made custodian of the money, which
is left after the obligations are met
and after three years it is to be
turned over to her brother. Harvey
Barger. without restrictions.
Mrs. Carter desired the Ladies of
the G.. A. X. to have charge of the
funeral and to arrange the music.
Accordingly the services will be held
Wednesday afternoon at O'Clock at
the Yunker & Callahan funeral par
lors. The circle will be in charge.
with Rev. ]. j. Giblin delivering the
eulogy. The brotherhood of Amer
lean Yeomen will attend in body.
Mrs. Carter's illness was peculiar.
Many who were familiar with her
disease declare that she could have
recovered had she not been conVinc-
ed that she would die. She seemed
unable to keep food on her stomach,
yet the post mortem disclosed no
condition which would account for
the continual vomiting.
Mrs. Carter's obituary, constructed
from notes she dictated to Mrs. Mel
son is as follows:

DISCUSSES MEAT SHORTAGE

Chicago, Ill.,, Nov. s. Address

Dairy Show convention here recent
ly, Secretary Houston of the
United States Department Of Ayr
iculture declared the short meat
supply to be one of the most
serious problems confronting Amer,
ican agriculture. Mr.. Houston ap-
proved the plan of cattle raising
on large ranches AID declarded
that no effort would be spared by
the Federal Government in farther
increasing production from this
source but insisted that the proper
solution of this problem depended
on an increased interest in live
stock raising by farmers and in a
more systematic control and
eradication of hog cholera, cattle
tick and tuberculosis.
Figues were qnoEd from Govern
men reports, showing that the
reduction of meat in the United

FEW TIMELY HINTS
FOR FAInMEn'S i !:
Handle All Fruits aent|y-So"S
Pay Well on Money Invested
Raise More CapG:S.

Never throw fruit OF any kind into
a basket or box. Lay it in gently.
Fifty dollars invested in two goo2
sows will earn five times a. much as
the money would il interest Gil mort
gage.
The man who works himself to
death commits suicide in the most
painful way and dies owing a debt
his estate will never b able to pay.
Don't overlook the fact that one Of
the fastest and surcst ways in the
dairy to make money is to keep al
ways wedding out the poorest milk
ers and badly doing COWS.
Science has discovered that the
white ant lays $4,000 eggs a month.
A fortune awaits the genius who can
cross the white ant with the Plymouth
Rock hen.
Take a lot of straw from that old
straw stack to the barn for bedding;
it will improve the bedding; it will
imp owe the manure wonderfully,
which Is so valuable to the land.
The man who keeps his nose on
the grindstone" seldom gets rich. He
may accumulate a lot of money if
he lives long enough, but mere money
does not mean riches in the things
that make people happy.
That more capons are not raised is
practically due to the fact that few
people like the operation necessary to
produce them. However, this Is quick
ly learned and easily performed, and
capons are big money producers.
1t Is a poor system of feeding that
does not provide an abundance Of
roughage. The experimental farms
and agricultural colleges have shown
that a great success In the economi-
cal production of beef consists in util.
izing corn slower, alfalfa and clover
in connection with the grain foods
used in fattening.
