for Hereford Catalog Come Both Days Obituary. Celeste Ann Davidson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Davidson, was born Jan.

26, 1888, near Elk City and departed this life March 19, 1918, at Fellsburg, at the age years, 1 month and 21 days, after an illnes of two months. The deceased was united in marriage to Chas. E. Horton on Jan. 8, 1910, and to this union were born two children, a son and a daughter.

The latter preceded her, mother to a better home. After her marriage, the first three years were spent at Independence, from which place the family went to Western sas, where she lived until her death. She leaves to mourn her untimely death a husband, son, father, mother, four sisters, and two brothers, besides a host of other sorrowing relatives and friends. Five years ago the deceased joined United Brethren church in Fellsburg and has been an tive member since then. She al-1 so was a sister in Royal mors.

She also joined the Red Cross and had been working with that organization. She had many friends in the church and lodge, who will mourn her loss as a sister. She was always so sweet, a dutiful daughter and wife, affectionate and loving. To know her was to love her, and her absence will be felt by all. But do not despair; she is at rest in Christ.

Before she departed she said: "God is calling me and I am prepared to go." Her last words were uttered with a smile and she is so peaceful now. Sleep on and rest till we come to God and heaven and the loved ones at home. Funeral services were conducted at the United Brethren church in Elk City at 3:30 p. Saturday by the pastor, Rev. R.

C. McCord, and interment was made in Oak Hill cemetery. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to extend our thanks to all for their knidness, sympathy and help during the illness and burial of our departed loved one, Celeste A. Horton.

Rings G. MILLARD MOORE on No. FLAXSEED AS A KANSAS CROP! Flaxseed is a crop that is well worthy of careful study by the farmers of this vicinity. We have investigated the matter thoroughly, and we find that, one year with another, it is more profitable than the other crops so extensively raised. It is the quickest crop there is.

It can be raised with less labor than any other crop. It costs less per acre for seed than oats. It builds up the soil, as it requires less plant food than wheat, corn or oats. It cleans the ground and leaves it in perfect condition for wheat. It produces straw that is equal to alfalfa in feeding value.

It is less seriously affected by drouths than are other crops. In view of these facts, and in an earnest desire to increase the acreage of Flaxseed in this vicinity, we have made an arrangement with the Fredonia Linseed Oil Works of Fredonia whereby we are enabled to furnish choice, recleaned sowing seed at the same price as the Mill charges at Fredonia. We will also receive for the Mill, when it is harvested, thus removing the your crop necessity of hauling it to Fredonia. We shall be glad to see you at any time and to give you further information concerning the culture of Flaxseed, and we most earnestly urge you to include Flaxseed in your regular system of crop rotation. Yours for better crops, ELK CITY FEED MILL.
