Made Price Too High.

In noting the recent sale OF fourteen
Car loads of apples by Capt. b. F
Rockafellow to the Noble Brothers
Grocery Company Of Amarillo. Texas,
the Kansas City Packer of last week
announced hat he received 1925 a
barrel for them. statement which We
are informed by Capt. Rockafellow is
wide of the mark.
The price puid was $500 a barrel {. o.
b. in Canon City for all wiater varie-
lies, except Ben Davis, which were
disposed of at s2.25 in order to sell five
car loads OF second pack, which were
put in at twenty five per cent discount
box Capt. Rockafellow was con-
siderably annoyed at the mistake and
requsted the local press to make cor
rec ION OF the matter.
On account OF the magnitude Of the
transaction Capt Rockafellow was in
duced to make close figures, and he
does not believe that the price obtained
is At all indicative of what the market
will be 'ter in the season; in fact, he
is under the impression that better
prices will be offered in the course OF
couple Of months for the product Of
Canon City orchards. He says he holds
the balance of his crop at higher
figure than that accepted for the four
teen car loads alluded to.
Although he realizes less on the sale
than given credit for by the Kansas
City Packer the price WAS nevertheless
rated fairly good one, and demon
strat-s what may be accomplished by
Canon Citv orchardists when their
producr is properly handled and placed
upon the market at an opportune time.
Apples packed at the Fruitmere
ranch Of Capt. Rockaf-llow have an
established reputation for quality and
uniformity of size, which enable. the
owner to get the very best prices
offered in the market.
c pit. Rockafellow's late sale OF
fourteen car loads of apples was the
largest consignment OF fruit ever made
by an individual grower in the Arknn-
sas valley, aggregating as it did nearly
5000 barrels.

From receipt standpoint the Canon City Races

The people did come in the droves expected.
There were, however, some good reasons for this.

Weather and Trade.

There is general impression among business men that
the fall does begin until the cool days OF
autumn.
The cool weather began Monday and il the temperature
has any thing to do with stimulating trade conditions
ought to be good,
The fall trade really depends the activity and
movements of the local merchant.
The weather stimulates the merchant, he does the
proper pushing and the trade follows.
We now have the cool weather and if the merchant
will follow it up his advertising campaign, plenty of
good business ought to be the result
The merchant who makes the early bid for the fall
trade u-ualy gets the most Of it.

Hicks Crop Predictions.

Perhaps no weather prophet has
come nearer to Uniting the mark"
the past two or three years than Rev.
Irl Hicks. Of st. Louis. The follow
ing predictions as to the crop outlook
will therefore be of interest:
LAS to the general outlook. for July,
We do not forecast . superabundance
Of rainfall. The drouth conditions
which have prevailed in the New Eng
land section and parts of Canada, we
fear will work by long strides into
the interior parts of the continent
but it will take two to three years for
it to reach q maximum and run its
course in this country. Some eastern
to northern parts of our great agricul-
tural regions will feel q pinch Of dry
ness in July and August, and most
other sections will have little moist
ure to waste. But by wise and prompt
methods Of care and culture, we pre-
dict fair seasonable conditions.
We will venture to say that the an.
tuInn will be favorable to late plant
ed crops, and that we believe the
losses of food regions may largely be
made up by all who can possibly re-
plant their lands with corn and other
suitable crops. But it goes without
saying that prompt action, and wise
and vigorous planning and work are
necessary.

That Farm Mortgage.

The mortgage is self-supporting
institution. 1t always holds it's own.
It calls fer just as many dollars
when grain is cheap as when grain is
dear. 1t is not affected by the
drouth. 1t is not drowned out by the
heavy rains. 1t never winter kills.
Late springs and early frosts never
trouble it. Potato bugs do not dis
turb it. Moth and rust do not des-
troy it. 1t grows nights. Sundays,
rainy days and even holidays. Ia
brings a sure crop every year, and
sometimes twice a year. 1t produces
cash every time. 1t does not have to
wait for the. market to advance. 1T
is not subject to speculations of the
bulls and bears on the board of trade.
1t is a load that gals. frets and
chafes. 1t is burden that the farm
er cannot shake off. It is with him
morning, noon and night. It eats
with him at the table. 1t gets under
his pillow when he sleeps. It rides
upon his shoulders during the day.
It consumes his grain crop. It devoura
his cattle. It selects the finest horses
and the latest steers. IL lives upon
the first fruit of the season. It stalks
into the dairy where the busy house,
wife tolls day after day and month
after month and takes the incest
cheese and choicest butter. It shares
the children's bread and robs them Of
their clothes. 1t stoops the toilers,
back with its remorseless burden Of
care 1t hardens his hands, benumbs
his intellect, prematurely whitens.
his locks and often-times sends him
and his good wife over the hills to
the poorhouse. It is the inexorable
and exacting taskmaster. Its whip is
as merciless and cruel as the lash Of
the slavedriver. 1t is a menace to
liberty, hindrance to progress,
curse to the world. -Ringwood o. T.

Sheriff Mizener and DR.. Swezey
were called out on the road between
here and Ossian last Friday after
noon, the neighbors believing they
had found q dead man lying in the
road. Investigation proved that it
was John Limbeck, who was badly in
toxicated. He had secured q livery
horse of Jim Long at Ossian and
started for DEBORAH, driving the horse
80 fast that it dropped dead, and then
laid down beside the road in drunk
en- stupOr. The neighbOrs thought he
was suffering with sunstroke or had
been hurt in runaway, and called
out the doctor and sheriff, who finally
succeeded in awakening him and took
him to the home of relative. Some
