Elzadla Gertrude Porter
Deeds was born January po, 1881,
In Sullivan county, Missouri, and
was married to Turner Floyd
Deeds, September 10, 1906. She fell
to sleep at the Shattuck hospital
Sunday, November 30, 1930, age
49 years, 10 months and 10 days.
She leaves to mourn her home
going her husband, Turner Floyd
Deeds, and seven children, Ivo K.
Deeds, of Salina, Kansas; I. K.
Junior, Trulyn T., Roberts, Murl,
Margaret, Opal and Ocel, all of
Follett, Texas.
Besides these she leaves her
father, R. 8. Porter, who is mak-
ing his home with the Deeds fam-
ily, her brother, R. L. Porter of
Melrose, New Mexico, her sisters,
Mrs. T." W. Crawford of Amarlllo,
Texas, Mrs. Chance Shahan of
Follctt, Texas, and a host of nei-
ghbors and friends who will miss
her neighborly and friendly coun-
cil and religious advice.
She accepted Christ as her per-
sonal Saviour and united with
• the Baptist at the age of 23 ano
lived a consistent and christian
life ever since.
At her home going she was a
member of the first Baptist
church, of Follett. She was a
loving wife, true mother, a kind
and patient neighbor. She was
loved by all who were privileged
to know her.
As sweetly as a child whom
neither
Thought disturbed, nor care en-
cumbers,
Tired with long play, at close of
summers day,
T.les down and slumbers.
He set as sets the morning star
which goes
Not down behind the darkened
west, nor hides
Obscured among the tempest of
the sky,
But melts away into the light
of heaven.
Oh, let us trust with holy men
of old.
Not all the story here begun is
told,
50 the tired spirit, waiting to
be freed.
On life's last leaf, with tranquil
eye shall read,
By the" pale 'glimmer of the
torch reversed.
Not finis, but the end of volume
one.
Life's race well won.
I Ife's work well done.
Life's crown x well won.
Now comes rest.
Funeral services were condu-
cted In the Baptist church in Fol-
lett last Wednesday afternoon, the
Reverend L. A. Roll, pastor, be-
ing in charge. Interment was
made in Fairmount cemetery.

Are Catcbiig
After a division of opinion that
has lasted for years, here comes
what appears to be postlve proof
that the common "bad cold" is
contagious and that a parson
suffering with one can transmit
it to others as easily as he could
smallpox or any other disease.
Scientists at Johns Hopkins
University have furnished posi-
tive proof that colds are catching.
Right -now when Follett citizens
are passing from the mild wea-
ther of fall to the harsh days of
winter, and when catching colds
is common, the information ought
to be worth something. It should,
at least, Impress them with the
importance of protecting them-
selves against catching a cold
from someone already suffering
with one. No matter If doctors
have disagreed with each other,
so if you have disagreed with
the doctors, it is now too definitely
estabolshed ttyat colds are conta-
gious to warrant anyone in tak-
ing chances.
The cold In Itself Is not danger-
ous in Its first stages, though de-
cidedly annoying. But too often
looking lightly upon one has
proved fatal. Pneumonia, tuber-
culosis, catarrh, deafness and
even diphtheria are among the
dread ailments that are develop-
ed from common colds. Isn't the
desire to escape these enough to
justify you in taking all due pre-
caution to avoid contracting this
common ailment. Avoid the per-
son who is suffering with a cold
as much as you possibly can. And
if you are the victim of one, be
careful not to carry It into
.crowds, where you will subject
others' to It.

' With the rapidly dwindling
supply of Christmas trees from
natural sources, there is a pos-
sibility that the growing of trees
for the Yuletlde may become an
important adjunct of agricul-
ture.
A large proportion of Christ-
mas trees are cut from pasture
lands on which they have en-
croached. Another source of
supply rarely tapped Is the tODs
of spruce and balsams cut in
logging operations. Millions lie
in the woods, when they are
ideal for commerlcal supply
A recent survey In New Eng-
land leads to the prediction that
Christmas trees will soon be
grown and farmers in that sec-
tion with land to spare are
urged to adopt this new side-
line as a good business under-
taking. As a result the trees will
probably come higher, but then
a great proportion of the public
must have them.
