Died.

John H. Pruitt, 1851 North St. Francis
avenue, died Monday while visiting his
son, Dr. A. H. Pruitt of Hays. Pneu-
monia which developed three weeks
ago, was the cause of his death.
He was a horse buyer, having been
born in Missouri, where he lived until
1880, when he came to Kansas, locating
in Clark county. In 1893 he moved to
Alva, Okla, demonstrating in the Chero-
kee strip. He resided in Alva until
1910, when he came to Wichita, where
he had resided since engaging in the
horse buying business.
Mr.. Pruitt is survived by his wife,
four sons, two daughters, DIR. A. H.
Pruitt of Hays, Kansas; W. c. Pruitt
of 1905 Cleveland avenue; Mrs. N r.

Normal Notes and Comments.
Garden Calendar.


Look out for sudden freeze. The
early warmth makes the danger the
greater.
Finish all tree and shrub pruning.
1t is time to plant shrubs, trees,
strawberry plants and the neighbors'
chickens.
With the Experiment Station tree
nursery so convenient, the cost so small
and the returns so permanent, Hays
ought to become a town of trees and
shrubs.
Plant especially elms and hack
berries. They are slower growing but
more attractive and lasting.
Plant few Arbor Vitae in the yard.
also red cedar or two.
Burn the rubbish.
