 the nursery business, as it would be 

 impossible to grow even seedlings for 

 planting in the spring of 1919. They

Charles B. De Shields, son-in-law 

 of Adolphus Gude, of Gude Bros. Co., 

 a student aviator at Lake Charles, La.,

 machine collided with another and he 

 was hurled to the ground, some four 

 or five hundred feet and escaped un- 

 hurt although the machine was com- 

 pletely demolished. De Shields fell 

 400 feet upside-down. His body made 

 a deep dent in the back of the seat and 

 in the fusilage was a dent where his 

 head struck.

 De Shields, has three sons in the ser- 

 vice, two of whom are not 20 years 

 old, and W. F. Gude has one son in

 ployees of the establishment, in the
