The body of John D. Fox came Sat
urday from Parsons, Kansas, where
he had died last Friday. He has been
at hospital there for some time for
treatment. He was younger brother
Of N. H. Fox of this city and was 81
years old. He was born at Ian
caster, Wisconsin, and came to Kan
sas with the family in 1872. For
many years he handled a threshing
machine in the vicinity of Gorham
and Walker, and had made his home
with lbs mother at Hays until her
death. Funeral services were held at
Gorham, Sunday, by Rev. K. K Clark
of this city, and burial was beside his
parents in the cemetery there. The
family wish their thanks extended to
the many who were kind to them in
SO many ways.-Russen Reformer.

year only s39, hardly sufficient TO pro-
vide for much upkeep. A caretaker.
Mr.. F. NJ. Clark, is paid q salary of
SIS per month whose duties consist
OF keeping all drives and walks clean
and clean such soldiers graves as are
neglected, together with such lots as
are paid fer by the owners. As
stated above, the total amount con-
tributed by the owners last year was
$50 so that practically all Of the mp
keep is being paid for out Of the re-
ceipts from sales of the lots from
which source there is now balance
OF $43S.o4 in the treasury, most of
which accumulated during the terrible
epidemic of Flu in the Fall of 1917.
Naturally the Association is a little
reluctant to expend a very large
amount in the upkeep of the cemetery
when its only source of revenue is
from the sale of lots.
Mr.. Addison answered a number of
questions asked by various individuals
and after some discussion in which
everal plans for maintenance were
suggested, it was recommended that
the President appoint committee of
five from the Chamber of Commerce
to confer with the present Executive
Board of the Cemetery Association
with the view of ascertaining whether
some plan might be worked out
whereby the grounds could be cleaned
up, improved and beautified. 1t was
suggested that the Cemetery Associa-
ton see that the strip along the east
side of the cemetery be cleared of
rubbish and that the City see that the
weeds were cut along the south side
before Fair next week. Mr.. Hoch
also urged that the grave digger be
reminded to clear away the several
loads of dirt left from the last two or
three burials before Fair time This
would make a considerable improve
ment in the present appearance of the
place while awaiting the action Of the
committee appointed to ascertain
what permanent steps might be taken.
The Association has done COM
mendable work with their limited
means and it is hoped that. the joint
committees may work out some feas-
ible plan of producing sufficient re-
venue to make the grounds a source
of pride to the community.
