un,..s Boy. s,le.d.. Of America.

The company of the United
Boys Brigade of America recently
organized in this city now has a
membership Of forty-four, and the
boys are drilling faithfully in order
to make good showing on the
Fourth of July. The boys re-
ceived their charter this week from
the national headquarters located
at Chicago. 1t is beautifully IL
Illuminated document, I8x23 inches,
on which the names of the forty four
charter members are inscribed.
They also received book OF ems
listment blanks, which it is neces-
sary to sign in order to become a
member. Rev. Elmer Ward Cole
is the commandant, or principal
officer of the company, and Harry
E. Pearson, who has had consid-
erable experience in military af-
fairs, is the captain, having direct
charge of the military training Of
the company.
Perhaps some information con-
cerning this organization would
be interesting to readers OF the
TRIBUNE at the present time. The
United Boys Brigade Of America
is q. religious organization in mil
itary form, composed of boys from
twelve to twenty-one years of age.
II started at Glasgow, Scotland, in
1883, and the first company in
America was organized in 1859 in
San Francisco. A national or
ganization now exists with head
quarters at Chicago, Ill. There
are four companies in Colorado,
located 1t Pueblo, Colorado
Springs. Denver and La Junta.

m.~,. Of Rocky Ford.

George Meador has gathered :
carload OF four-year- -old geldings,
which he will ship 1850 miles south
of Las Vegas, where the horse
market is said to be good. George
is an old horse man, having dealt
in horses most of his life. Several
times he has become quite wealthy,
but the panic and low price Of
horses almost sent him to the wall.
He now believes that the horse
business is again coming to the
front and will make money again.
Last Tuesday evening while
Fred Roach, boy fifteen years Of
age, was playing with his fathers
shotgun, it was accidentally dis
charged, the shot taking effect in
the head of his little ur-year-old
sister, killing her instantly. The
little one was not over eight feet
from the muzzle of the gun when
it was discharged. The accident
has so grieved the little fellow
that it is feared he may lose his
mind. The same old story is told
concerning the gun, that is, no
one knew it was loaded. The be-
reaved family have the sympathy
Of the community. The little girl
was buried Wednesday afternoon.
Perhaps the finest small flock OF
sheep in the United States is
located one and half miles west
of Rocky Ford and owned by
Thomas Orcott. Mr.. Orcott had
man in Europe most OF last year
with instructions to take his time
and bring back with him the best
buck he could find. His man has
returned with the buck and look
at him will convince any sheep
ahah ehoS shS opJCSt was dSSom-
plished. Mr.. Orcott has lambs
sixty days old weighing eighty
pounds. They are OF the Cots
void variety. His old sheep are
sheared twice a year and from
fifteen to twenty-five pounds of
wool is realized at each shearing..
The wool from these sheep usually
exceeds the top market price from
two to three cents per pound.
Mr.. Orcott keeps triple record Of
each and every sheep, SO that
person purchasing one from him
knows exactly the pedigree OF the
sheep SO bought. The feed gem
orally used in summer is dry all;
falfa hay, blue grass and little
corn. In the winter alfalfa hay,
beets and corn.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandm others never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis.

etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
