JASPER PRESTON BAILEY,
Son of NJ. w. and Berlinda Bailey,
was born in West Virginia, October
20, 1873 He came with his parents
to Grand Junction, Colorado, when a
boy twelve years Of age. Here his
mother died.
His father with his family travelled
some and then settled on a ranch In
the Blue mountain country and went
into the stock business. Here while
riding for cattle Jasper was thrown
from his horse, the horse falling on
him In such way as to infiict injuries
which finally proved fatal. This oc-
cured some six years ago.
He was married to Miss Lucy Mob
ly December 26, 1893. After the acct
dent above referred to, the family to-
gether with his father moved to
Meeker, where he slowly but con-
stantly developed progressive paral-
ysis; and though local physicians and
eminent specialists abroad, did every
thing known to science for his recov-
cry, he gradually declined and at
last slipped away from those who
loved him so dearly, And he was
not for God took him."
For the past three years he has
been almost entirely helpless, and
for some time required the constant
presence OF some member OF the fam
lily. No money nor care that could
minister to his comfort has ever been
withheld, and no matter how acute
his sufferings, there was never In all
these weary years word of COM
plant from him.
The Rev. r. l.. NuckOls, while pas
tor of the Methodist church of Meek
er, baptised him on profession of his
faith in Jesus Christ, and he present
ed most beautiful example of
Christian fortitude and patience to
the end.
Some days before his death he
lapsed into unconsciousness, and
Monday evening February 7th, about
six O'Clock he passed away without n
struggle. Indeed he was seen to smile
frequently rs though it WAS an hour
Of joy rather than of pain.
His father was with him during his
long illness to assist his faithful wife
and family and his brother Silas in
caring for him. He leaves his widow,
two daughters, Blanch and Bessie,
his father, a sister aud brother be-
sides number Of other relatives and
a large circle of friends to mourn his
departure.
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the home by DIR. Denote
Of the Methodist church, Thursday
morning and the burial service at the
cemetery by Rev. Phillip Nelson OF
st. James church.
The pail bearers were J. l.. Tagert,
Thos. Cassidy, John Dougan, Silas
Bailey, Fred Modify and Chester
Mobly.
The music was rendered by select
choir composed of Mrs. Carr, Mrs.
Babcock. Mr.. JoHantgen and DR..
Taylor with Mrs. Strehlke at the
piano. BY DIR. DENOTE.

Printers supplies are getting high

writes US that since Bill has been
killing off his neighbors In Germany
that dye stuffs are out Of sight in price
and that we soon may not be able to
get colored papers even at the pre-
vailing high prices; then our roller
makers tell US that owing to the
greatly advanced price Of glycerine
printers rollers have advanced about
twenty per cent; then we are next
told that print paper will be higher
because bleaching compound costs
more money than ever; and then we
are told that overalls, the pressman's
friend, will soon be extinct In coiOrs,
and the devil couldn't wear white
overalls a, minute without soiling
them and having to buy more. And
when we have this dream DER, then
we begin to wonder II the country

PIG TROUGH is A NECESSITY
For Large Animals V-Shaped Device
Will Be Found Durable and Con-
venient--HoW 1t Is Made.

The pig trough is a very necessary
equipment. For large hogs a very
durable and economical trough Is a
V-shaped one which can be made of
pieces by 10 and 2 by 8, but for the
younger pigs smaller pieces should be
used. Care should be taken in max
ing them. If they are too high the
pigs cannot feed conveniently. If too
low, the pigs will get into the trough
in order to get the feed.
The trough set in fence, parallel
to 1t, Is very satisfactory arrange
ment. A swinging panel can be hung
above the trough. A latch slipping
crosswise at the center of the panel
makes 1t possible to swing it in and
fasten 1t, thereby shutting out the pigs
until all the feed is put into the
trough.
The pig trough should be kept clean.
A thorough scrubbing occasionally will
be an advantage to the animals health.
If the trough is set on cement feed
ing floor there will be less dirt and
filth.
