Don't be loud and boisterous and
slanay; stand on your dignity and
don't form acquaintances quickly.
Don't carry your heart on your
sleeve and don't throw yourself into
the arms Of every good looking drum
mer or we'll dressed stranger that
comes to town Be womanly, be mod
est. be thoughtful and serious at times
Don't regard your long legged broth

Don't turn up your nose at your old
fashioned father and his poor gram
mar, and don't play a Hot Time in
tho Old Town" on the piano while
your poor old mother is having still
hotter time at the washtub with your
dirty clothes. It's suggestive.

ROASTED PICKLES
Kuner Sailing Station Burned
Saturday Morning

At about 6:30 Saturday morning
fire was discovered in the salting
plant of the kuner Pickle company,
in the north end of the city. Although
the volunteer fire department re-
sponded promptly to the alarm, the
building was about half destroyed
before the fire could be extinguished.
Fortunately the fire started in the
west end of the building, where the
least amount of pickles were stored,
but several large vats and many bar
rels of pickles were destroyed. The
loss will probably reach $1,000 accord
ing to the amount of pickles spoiled.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
The plant that was burned was es-
tablished here two years ago. and
has been IN successful operation ever
since. The building was l25x3o feet.
In connection with this fire the
new electric fire alarm system had 4
fair test. and it worked like charm.
The alarm was first sounded by n
switch engine on the railroad near
the fire, but it was only few seconds
before the button was touched at
both telephone offices and the fire
bell set going. This was promptly
followed by the wild cat whistle at
the city pumping station. and the
din almost raised the dead.
The boys this time claim the
credit for being the first to turn out,
with the supply cart, but all did
good work after the fire was reached
or the building would have been
totally destroyed.

ASSOCIATION OF GROWERS
AND DEALERS
Price of Potatoes to Be Upheld
And Boosted by Uniform
Price Agreement by
Association

The Potato Growers association,
which has been in a formative stage
for about ten days now, was finally
organized last Tuesday afternoon,
and an executive board and manager
for the farmers branch of the asso-
citation chosen. The board was
chosen from members of the local
organization in various parts of the
potato district and is as follows:
L. A. Dickey, Ault; ]. r. Collins,
Eaton: III. II. Thayer, Timnath
John r. Law, Windsor; Il. r. Lynn,
LAGRANGE; C. r. Woods, Crow Creek.
S. II. Southland of Greeley was
chosen manager.
A uniform price of 30 cents a
hundred for pearls and 35 cents fol
rurals, until further notice was
adopted. Under no circumstances
is the price to be reduced, and as
fast as the market price can be
forced up, a slight raise from day
to day will be made.
Every dealer in the district has
either signed the agreement to pay
the uniform price demanded by the
farmers, or has promised to sign.
This will likely mean that within a
few days, not load Of potatoes will
90 out of Greeley without paying
a little profit to the farmer, and II
will prevent any cutting OF prices
by the dealers
The manager will study the mar
ket conditions with the produce deal
ers. and from this will be tlXed
uniform price for the day. Should
meeting be deemed necessary,
this can be called withina a few hours
as the telephone is counted on to eX
pedite matters in such a call.

RELIEVE IRELAND
Also the Greeley District Potato
Growers.

Duncan A. Holiday of Denver,
who travels for Brown Bros. of that
city is one of the best known
drummers in the west. Mr. Holiday
visits the cities and towns between
Denver and Greeley each week and
knows the business conditions of
northern Colorado as we'll, if not
better than any other man of that
section. Realizing that there is a
large crop of potatoes in the country
and that it has depressing effect on
the Greeley district staple he offers
the following suggestion. feeling
that if his plan could be operated
it would relieve the farmers and
benefit humanity generally:
Realizing that our potato grow
ers are at a great disadvantage this
year, | wish that they could band
together and subscribe 1000 carloads
to the suffering poor in. Ireland.
This Offering, of course, is to be sub
ject to the general government-or
some body of wealthy men, paying the
transportation charges from point in
the Greeley district to the Green
Isle.' Two thousand carloads out
of the district to a foreign point
would tend to strengthen the market
and possibly would increase the price
of what is left from ten to twenty
cents Il hundred pounds and this
increase would amply repay the
growers for their gift, besides aiding
worthy cause.
Il am informed by competent
shipping authority that two thous-
and carloads of potatoes could be
transported from this point to the
Irish famine stricken district for
about S4OO, O0O-a mere bagatelle to
the federal government, or few
rich men like Carnegie, j. p. Nor
gan, Gates, Schwab and other well
known American capitalists .
