Southern armies will not bring about
wholesome reunion. For the people OF
the two sections TO live in harmony, there
must be mutual respect, and there must
be self-respect. An easy triumph over the
South would cause the North great vain
glory and the South great humiliation.
Granting war, it should be such as to cf

possible. The South, if she ever comes
back into the Union respecting herself,
must be exhausted by war; she must he

WHO GOES THERE?
IContfnned from, frat poral

ture of the past: the daybreak; a lonely
road in the forest; two men and two
horses, each pair as unlike as life and
death, for ones horse was dead and the
other man was about to die. Had | been
so utterly foolish, Why had j conceived
absolutely that this rider was a Federal? ?
How could Il Federal know the road so
well that he had gone over it at full speed,

my end had come to me- for my terror was
for myself and not for IA lost mission. and

second of time any other hope was in me
but that of riding this man down and
reaching our troops with mortal bullet
in my body.

Again l was thunderstruck-twO voices

ARKANSAS VALLEY SOIL.
Government Experts Have Prepared
Exhaustive Reports.

The department OF agriculture has COM
pleted the first OF a series OF investiga-
tons regarding the soils in the Arkansas
valley. The result is expected to prove
invaluable to farmers in Colorado.
Experts have been at work in the Ar
kansas valley for the past eight months
analyzing the soil, to determine what
crops can best be raised. Serious atten-
ton was paid to the excess of alkali and
the means Of eradicating it.
The force consisted OF five menin charge
of Macy Lapham of Washington, and the
result of their work is shown in an elab-
crate report, including three sets of maps,
to be published by the department.
Mr.. Lapham said: AS a whole the
soils we found are especially well adapted
to agricultural purposes. We classified
about a dozen types; in fact, the types
seem to be pretty well mixed in that sec
ton. We did not find an alarming amount
of alkali, except in places where seepage
was considerable. The drainage question
is the important one in connection with
the alkali evil. Other temporary remedies
have been tried. but where there is much
alkali, or where it is liable to be brought
out, owing to the proximity of the water
table to the surface, the installation of a
thorough system Of the drains is the only
effective remedy
Made were made, one inch to the mile,
showing the entire Investigations. The
first shows the general Typographical
features, and the types of soil with looali
ty. The second is an alkali map showing
areas where it exists and danger signals.
An underground water way is also per-
fected, showing the depth and extent OF
the underground flow, seepage and other
conditions.

Shelton's Orchestra an Appreciated
ORGANIZATION.

Bert Shelton's orchestra has of late be-
come one Of the valued institutions of
Rocky Ford. The excellent quality of the
music furnished has brought it into con-
slant demand at social functions where
good music is wanted to add to the pleas
ure of the occasion. And at the balls of
Rocky Ford's various dancing clubs Shell
toms orchestra is Indispensable. 1t furn-
shes the melody for the Tuxedo. the older
of the dancing clubs which meets on the
second and fourth Thursdays of each
month.
The newer dancing club, known as
The Little 400" enjoys the music of
Shelton's orchestra every two weeks, the
first and third Thursdays in each
month at K. P. hall. The club has thirty
members, all Of the younger people.
On the day Of Blair & Wiswell's OPEN
ing Mr.. Blair took pride in asking in
Wonderly. the La Junta orchestra man.
to listen to the music furnished the crowd
of ladies by Shelton's orchestra. And it
was music which was appreciated by the
almost 500 people who thronged this new
confectionery on the opening day.
When any of our citizens wish to give a
very ambitious social function the oceas-
sion will be incomplete without the music
of Sheton's orchestra.

the excellent service they have-both in

Alfalfa Always a Valuable Crop.

With baled alfalfa hay selling at SO per
ton, alfalfa seed at $3.50 per hundred
pounds and alfalfa straw at $3.50 per
ton, it is plain that there is an immense
profit from this crop, and it is a great
wonder that more land is not sown to
alfalfa. A few years ago it was feared
that so much alfalfa would be produced
that the market would be glutted, but
notwithstanding gradual increase in the
acreage the price of the hay and seed has
been ascending. aud would probable con-
tinue at the present price at least were
the acreage double. 1t is money maker
even when sold from the farm, but when
fed to stock it is of much greater value
to the producer.-Holly Chieftain.

Tell II to the Editor.

The editor of the weekly paper must,
and does, depend upon his friends to help
make his paper interesting. Show some
interest in your interest in your local pa
per and give all the information you can
to the publisher. Marriages, deaths. births
or any little item may be interesting to
someone Such items are often absent
from the local columns simply because you
don't let the editor know of them. People
in live town should recognize this and
take pleasure in giving the editor bits of
news he would otherwise never hear.
