AProspcrous Community.

Thomascs in Julesburg who will
not believe that the agricultural
district west of town, common y
called the reservation, is in a
prosperous condition, we would
advise them to take a drive
through that territory and satisfy
themselves that this has been the
best crop year since 1891.
Such drive we took last Tues
day, and we have no hesitancy in
saying that we have rarely seen
in any locality, the states east of
the Missouri river not excepted,
more prosperous people, nor a
better outlook for big harvests
than we saw upon this occasion.
In our peregrinations We visit
en- the farms of A. j. Lang, JON
a,han Porter, j. 2. Duncan, J. L..
Elhart and j. A. Dawson. At
each and every one of these plac
cs we found evidence of great and
permanent prosperity. These
evidences Of prosperity do not APP
pear alone in the substantial char
acter of the farm buildings, nor
in the surrounding trees and gar.
dens, but more especially are they
seen in the grain and hay
fields which surround these plac-
eS.
DR.. Lang has larger acreage
of corn planted than any of his
ncighbors, amounting in all to
250 acres. This corn is in fine
condition; it is growing rapidly
and will doubtless mature before
frost comes. The $50 acres will
probably yield 35 bushels to the
acre, making a total yield Of near
ly 5000 bushels.
Mr.. Dawson and MIR. Elhart
have not SO large an acreage of
corn as has DR.. Lang, their farm
ing being more varied than his,
but their fields are in fine condi-
tion and large yields per acre are
assured. Mr.. Elhart will proba-
bly, feed his corn crop to hogs,
and expects thereby to realize Il
better price for the corn than if
he hauled it to market. He now
has over 200 head of fine hogs and
to get them ready for market will
make big hole in his corn crop,
be it ever so large.
The kind of farming favored by
Mr.. Porter can easily be seen by
the big fields of stubble and the
enormous stacks Of straw stand
in these fields. MIR. Porter's best
success seems to be in raising
small grain, especially winter
wheat. OF this cereal he har-
vested this year an immense crop,
his crop averaging nearly 80
bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Duncan pays more atten-
ton to raising alfalfa and corn,
and he also has nice bunch OF
cattle. His prospect is good fol
Il large crop of corn, while his
first cutting of alfalfa produced a
large amount of hay.
Taken as u whole, no better
farms can be found in any cou
try than those we visited Tuesday
nor can more thrifty and sue,
cessful class OF farmers be found
anywhere than the owners of
those farms. There are many
other farmers in Scdgwick coun-
ty who are in the same class as
those mentioned. and the pres
cnce of such people here. as in
any community. assures the con-
tinued prosperity CT that commun-
ity.

THE MAKING OF BOWLING BALLS
Shaping and Modelling the Spheres Requires Great Skill Most
Careful Workmanship

The popularity OF bowling has
grown to such an extent in all parts
of the United States that the manufac.
ture of bowling balls, pins and alleys
has become an industry which gives
employment to thousands of men.
While the work Of constructing the
alleys does not require any great
amount of ingenuity, 1t is in the shap-
iLg and modelling of bowling balls that
great skill and careful workmanship
are required
Bowling balls are made almost ex.
cluslvely out OF wood from the West
Indies and Central American countries
known as lignum.vltae. one Of the
hardest woods known. There are sew.
eral agents In these countries buying
up this wood all the year round. 1t is
shipped in the rough for the factory
In chunks about four to six feet in
length and varying in diameter from
six to twenty inches,
The logs are put into specially
constructed cylinder and cut into
blocks, after which the edges are
rounded with a band saw. The rough
balls are then turned over to expert
mechanics, who with the aid of turn.
ing lathes, gradually plane them
down to the required size.
The balls are then smoothed with a
saudpaper turner, receive a coat OF
shellac and oil and are complete, with
the exception of the finger holes
which are frequently bored to meas.

HELPED OUT THE FAT MEN
Sympathetic TOwnsmen Always Ready Do Their Part Toward
Enabling Giants to Shake Hands

Speaking OF fat men," said the

ton, Ark.
They certainly were big men and
they were-no pun intelded-the
stoutest friends. They never met
without shaking hands II they could
find a medium OF communication;
they couldn't shake without one.
What they used to do was to get a
man Of reasonable thlnness to stand
between them and extend his arms
and the two big men would take one
of the lntermedlary's hands and the
other the other one, and thus they'd
shake by proxy.
"of course, the whole town knew OF
this, and everybody humored the big
men. HUNDRED them? More than
that; everybody that was eligible used
TO feel It his duty to help these two
great-again no pun intended-these
two grSat friends shake bands.
More than once have seen a man
who was hurrying into the postoflce
on Main street stop short on the steps
when he saw the big men approaching
each other and turn back and go and
stand between them and raise his
arms like two extended wings. with
hands far outstretched, for the two
fat friends to grasp. That was their
handshake; and this duty to his fellow
men performed the man who had
stood between them would hurry up
the postoflice steps once more, and
this time go in and get his mail.

part, these pins being considered the
best by reason of their durability and
tlEeness,
Old balls can be turned down once,
but after that they are useless. The
pins do not last as long as the balls,
and an average of FIVE sets year
are used to an alley. The regulation
bowling ball weighs about sixteen
pounds, and Is twenty.seven inches
in circumference. In a set of four
teen balls four Of them are of the regu.
lation size and ranging from that size
down to the smallest size used in the
cocked.hat game. A ball of the regu.
lation size cost from SO to $3.50, but
many extra fine ones are made to
order, which sell for fancy prices.
