1917.
Mr. p X. Mcdowell, Editor. Jules
burg Grit-Advocate, Julesburg, Cole.
Dear Mr.. Mcdowell:
l am in the Supply Company of
the 34lst. Field Artillery. We spend
most Of our time outdoors driving the
supply wagons, or in the stables
which are not heated. The last few
days it has been getting very cold and
many of our men are in need of knit
ed articles of various kinds to help
them keep warm.
We have fifteen l5) men from
Sedgwick County in our Company.
thought that the women of Sedg-
wick county would prefer to knit for
these men rather than for no one in
particular We need helmets, wrist
lets. mittens and scarfs, and that is
about the order of Importance. We
need helmets and wristlcts particul-
arly. As the cold has already set in,
the sooner we get somc knit goods, the
better. If you know Of any articles
already completed, it will help lot if
they are sent Immediately.
If these articles are addressed to me
personally care of The Supply Com
pany, 341st Field Artillery, Camp Fun
ston, Kansas, will see that they are
distributed to the Sedgwick men who
eed them most.
Sincerely yours.

inois in the year of 1886, and home
steaded near where the town of Dali

years ago the deceased, in company
with his family, moved to Julesburg,
engaging in the lumb.r business with
his son Guy Pool, the business being
known as The Julesburg Lumber Co.,

manager for several years.
The deceased leaves to mourn his
death besides his wife. four sons and
four daughters, who are as follows:
A. c. Pool, Portland, Oregon; Guy
w. Pool, Julesburg; F. j. Pool, Dal-
ton, Nebraska; Sidney Herbert Pool,

Nebr.; Mrs. W. j. Ewing and Mrs. H.
K. Clough, Dalton Nebraska. With
the exception of Sidney Herbert Pool
and A. c. Pool, all the children were
at the bedside of the father at the
time of his death.
Funeral services were held in this
city at the home last Monday morning
| at o'clock, conducted by Rev w. T.
Galley, PASTOR of the Methodist
church, and the remains, accompanied
by the members of the family, Rev.
Galley and Miss Irma Bower, were
taken to Dalton, Nebraska that morn
| ing at which place funeral services
were conducted at o'clock in the af-
ternoon, and interment made in the
Dalton cemetery.
The Grit-Advocate joins with tho
many friends of the bereaved fam
lily in extending heartfelt sympathy,
in this, their sad hour.
To My Friend Sidney Pool
To thee thou sturdy pioneer
l loath to say farewell,
Or brush aside the falling tear
Thy virtuous life to tell.
In all the years that's past and
gone
The pleasure it was mine,
To reverence the path you tread
And that pure heart of thine.
An honest life upright and clean
That sparkles like the dew,
Rests close beside the Galilean
And brought the crown to you.
If can live as good
Some erring feet to guide,
And leave the beauty thou hast
streWd
will be satisfied.

Can't we leave him out of it7s she demanded. Il want to get away from you both. Can you understand thatr It doesn't help you any to pick him to pieces"
 NO, but 1t might help you if I could rip of that swathing of idealization you've wrapped around him." Fyfe ob- served patiently. Its not job have much stomach for, however, even if you were willing to let me try. But to come back. You've got to stick it out with me, Stella. You'll hate me for the constraint, I suppose, but until until things shape up differently-youm understand what I'm talking absnt by and by, think-you've got to abide by the bargain you made with me. could not force you to stay, I know. But there's one hold you can't break-not if know you at all"
 What is that7' she asked jelly.
 "The kids" he murmured.
 Stella buried her face in her hands.
 I'd forgotten-Td forgotten" she whispered.
 You understand, don't you?" he said hesitatingly. If you leave-I keep our boy"
 "Oh, you're devilish-to use a club like that" she cried. You know I wouldn't part from my baby-the only thing I've got that's worth having"
 Hes worth something to me, too" Fyfe muttered, "a lot more than you think, maybe. I'm not trying to club you. There's nothing in it for me But for him-well, he needs you. It isn't his fault he's here or that you're un- happy. I've got to protect him, see that he gets fair shake. can't see any thing to it but for you to go on being Mrs. Jack Fyfe until such time as you get back to normal boise. Then 1t will be fine enough to try to work out some arrangement that won't be too much of a hardship on him. It's that or clean break in which you go your own way and try to mother him to the best of my ability. You'll un- derstand some time why I'm showing my teeth this way"
 You have everything on your side, '' she admitted duly after a long inter val of silence I'm fool. I admit it. Have things your way, but it won't work, Jack This fiareup between us will only smolder. 1 think you lay a little too much stress on Monohan. If isn't that I love him so much as that l don't love you at all. can live with out him-which I mean to do in any case-far easier than can live with you. It won't work"

MORE PASTURES NEEDED TO RE. DUcE THE cosT OF MILK PRO
 DUcTlON IN ARKANSAS.

A committee of experts with the Agricultural Extension Division in their survey to determine the cost of milk production around Little Rock and Hagen found the following to be true:
 "The cost of feed and pasture per COW per year was $l14 at Little Rock and $65 at Hazen, or a difference of s49. Each Little Rock COW ate 8 pounds more rouhgage per day and half pound more concentrates per day in the winter season than did their Hazen competitors. They also ate 5 1-2 more pounds of concentrates per day in the summer season. The Little Rock cows produced 3,s2s pounds of milk per year while the Hazen cofs produced 3,340 pounds. The cost of feed per quart of milk was about two cents higher at Little Rock than at Hazen."
 This difference was undoubtedly due to the fact that the dairymen at Hazen live on a prairie and have plenty of pasture while the Little Rock dairymen live on farms often not exceeding 10 acres and buy prac. iically all of their feed. According to the committee. Arkansas need for the economical production of milk is better cows and more permanent pas lures made up of Bermuda grass, les pedeza, burr and white clover for the central and southern part of the state and orchard grass for the northern part of the state.
