Death of J. A. Bro0kshire.

The many friends of j. A. Brook
shire were greatly shocked and griev-
ed on Sunday morning to learn Of his
death at his home in north Lamar. He
.lai been sick for several weeks but
his condition was not deemed serious
by his family or friends until few
hours before death. He had been an
active business man in the produce
commission line and lately as local
salesman for the REQ Motor Co., and
was well known and liked by all his
neighbors and host of others who
had dealings with him.
James Arthur Brookshire was born
in Browning, Sullivan county, Missouri,
on June 20, 1886, and was 80 years
month and . days old at the time of
his death. He came to Lamar with
dent here ever since As a business
man he was square and courteous and
built up for himself a profitable and
substantial business. He was MEM
Der Of Prowers Aerie of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles. He was a good citi-
zen and neighbor, kind husband and
a friend who will be missed by all
who knew him. The funeral was held
on Monday afternoon from the Hog
gait & Kibbey chapel and the body was
attended to its last resting place in
Riverside cemetery by long con-
course of friends and brother Eagles.
He leaves a widow and mother. be-
sides other relatives to mourn his loss,
and the deepest sympathy of many
friends goes out to them in their af-
Fiction.

HEALTH FIRST
Keeping Baby Cool.

Does this hot weather make your
baby break out with "prickly heat ?'
Or is your baby just cross and peev-
ish with no particular reason that you
can see? Let US study the matter of
baby's dress for few minutes and see
if the reason is there. We grown-ups
wear as few clothes as we can and
yet appear in public decently. Let us
apply the same rule the miniature hu-
man being that we do to grown-ups.
For the tiny baby of q few weeks
there need be only the diaper, band,
shirt, and dress. Even the woolen
shirt may often be replaced by knit
ted cotton one. Many authorities tell
US that the band may be replaced by
a knitted one with straps over the
The Lamar register., 1921-08-03

shoulders as early as at six weeks old
if the baby is in normal health. After
three months of age, when weather Is
hot, the band may be entirely discard
ed taking care that the little shirt is
fastened to the diaper to insure the
abdomen being entirely covered. Avoid
extreme changes of temperature for
baby. Add more clothing as the tenn
perature cools. In this country our
nights are cool even after excessively
hot days. Be sure that baby does not
take cold at night or in the early
evening. More babies die of over
heating than of wearing too few
clothes. The death rate for children
under one year of age is SIX times
rs high in August as it is in Decem-
Der. The month of August is here.
Be CAREFUL of babys DIET and
CLOTHES.

WHEAT is KING IN COLORADO
State Rapidly Taking Front Rank
Among the Wheat Producing
States and Wheat Raising
is Now States Lead
ing Industry.

The preeminence of wheat among
Colorado crops will be definitely es-
tablished this year, both in acreage
cultivated and in value of the crop.
The acreage devoted to wheat is great
e than that devoted to all varieties
of tame and wild hay combined. and
is greater than that devoted to any
two other crops combined, with the
possible exception of corn ard alfalfa.
The area devoted to winter wheat
is about l 100000 acres, according to
reports received by the State Immigra-
tion Department from county assess
ors, and that devoted to spring wheat
about 375,000 acres, making a total of
1,S25,000 acres. The area devoted to
corn, which ranks next to wheat, is
about 1,l50,0OO, cnd that to alfalfa
about 100000 acres, or perhaps slight
ly more. No three other crops com
b:ned occupy a. mueh rs a million
acres.
In 1920 there were eleven states hay
ing large acreage of wheat than Col
orado is growing this year, as follows:
O,,io, Indiana, Ilii-ois, North Dakota
S-rth Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Wiz
co ,sin, Missouri, Oklahoma and Wash
:rgton. Present indications are that
the total production of wheat in this
state this year will be close to 35,0O0,-
900 bushels. Only six states surpas5-
cd this production in 1920, as follows:
Illinois, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kan
cas-. Oklahoma and Washington. 1t is
not at all likely thnt greater number
will exceed the figure this year, in
which case Color do will advance to
seventh place, from twelfth position
last year. Forecasts indica:c that Col
orsdo will certainly occupy not lower
ti.an ninth place This year and may
advance even as far as sixth place.
Even though the states wheat crop
this year is at least 1000, 900 bushels
greater than that of any previous year
it will bring at present prices slightly
less than last years crop was worth
on December l, 1920, and several mil
lions of dollars less than last years
crop was worth at harvest time. As
the prices of all farm products are
lower this year than last, however,
there is no doubt that wheat will hold
first place among the states crops in
value.
Ten years ago the area devoted TO
wheat in the state was about 100000
acres, Of which considerably more than
cne-half was spring wheat. The in
crease in acreage in the decade has
been about $50 per cent, and now the
acreage of winter wheat is about four
times as great as that of spring wheat
