AT Lamar good artesian water is
pumped through the pipes for domestic
use. We hope the summer will not pass

good supply of the purest water, We're

If any anti-kissing society crank i'm
agiaes for moment that a young fellow
is going to take his girl to doctor to
have her red lips examined for disease
germs before bussing her he is clear off
his equilibrium. Not much. Besides,
there is said to be increased interest and
enjoyment in affairs which have q spice
of danger.
If you have homo and are out Of
debt, don't fret and worry yourself and
good wife into the gravo for the sake of
making money. You have but one life
to live and it is brief at best. Take o
little pleasure and comfort as you go day
by day, and try to do little good to
others. A morbid insatiate desire to pos
sess the earth, to grab everything in sight
is at the foundation OF more misery than
almost any one thing. Wealth alone will
never never keep your memory green
after you are gone; good life and kind
actions will.
The Fidelity Building and Loan
Association, Denver, has moved from its
old offices, 924 Seventeenth Street, to
larger and better arranged Offices. at
rooms 202 to 2O9, on the second floor of
of the Ernest & Cramer Block. Tho
Fidelity stands at the head Of the build
ing and loan associations OF the west and
is passing through the period Of business
depression with evidences Of prosperity.
The Fidelity has number of stockhold
ers in the Rocky Ford region ard the
number promises to steadily increase.
The quickest and best way to build
up a prosperous and thriving town is to
patronize homo merchants who help to
pay the taxes and put in permanent i'm
provements. 1t is better to pay little
more to Fort Collins merchant some
times than to "blow yoursef IN" by pay
ing railroad faro and hotel bills at Dem
yer for the sole purpose of showing your
"patriotism" by buying out Of town.
Fort Collins Express.
Tho above sentiment is cordially ap-
proved and warmly commended to Rocky
Ford people.
-Sacaline is the name OF wonderful
forage plant, native of Russia, for which
a remarkable list of desirable qualities is
claimed. 1t is said that it will thrive
alike in hot and cold climates, in wet and
dry soils, and possesses nutritive value
far superior to alfalfa. The yield is said
to be from 80 to $50 tons OF green forage
to the acre with four cuttings. Since the
tests have made known its value, it has
achieved wonderful popularity, and if
the tests Of the past two years may he ac-
cepted as criterion, sacaline will be-
come one OF the most widely cultivated
forage plants. But farmers will do we'll
to be somewhat skeptical in regard to the
stories of sacaline. If you
desire to experiment with 1t DO 30 on
small and inexpensive scale.

making extensive alterations in their fac

some orders in justice to their customers.

doing the largest volume business Of any
selling to tho retail trade

that up to date style, courteous treatment
and prices lower than others care to offer,
makes success.
