THE AFTERNOONN NAP

The frequency with which medical
men are asked whether IL is harmful
indulge In the afternoon nap is not
perhaps surprising for several reas
Jns, Most persons have bad exper
ience OF the seductive charms Of the
somnolence which has followed the
comfortable digestion Of midday or
evening meal The meal finished the
diner arranges himself comfortably
In an arm-chair; 1t may be he lights
a pipe or cigar takes UP newspaper
and prepares TO make the most OF the
restful conditions Of his mind aud
body But Nature soen begins to as
assert her sway In time the eyelids
close the head begins to nod the
newspaper falls from the hands the
pipe no longer supported ia the
mouth falls to the floor aud the symp
toms OF a nap are complete Whetht T
the winks be forty or one hundred In
number the result is the samoa
short sound sleep Then comes the
question-is 1t harmful thus to fall
asleep after a meal? BY no means
for the very obvious reason that the
process is merely physiological one
aud as such when IL occurs is quite
aturai When digestion is in pro
gress Nature has arranged that all
the avaible blood in the body shall

PRICES IN DAWSON

High prices continue TO rule in
Dawson City, which is probably the
most expensive town in the world.
1t is a thriving place, with a popula-
ton of over s, 900, with warehouses,
churches, banks, electric lights,
wholesale and retail stores and two
uo-to-date newspapers. The news
papers themselves are worthy OF
consideration in the light of ex-
pense, for they cost IS cents copy.
At this time of the year three eggs
ordered in a restaurant cost 81. so,
while a caribou steak costs 81.
Beer is worth 81 a bottle and cham
pagne $40. SO a quart.

WORMY CORN IN PLENTY

From one standpoint, the quality
of corn seems to be getting poorer
anh poorer each year. We knew
to certainty that there Is more
wormy, half-ro,ten corn in the aver
age crop than there vas 10 and IS
wears ago. When there /, better
than average corn growing season,
the quality is always good, but in
the average growing season the
worms dry-rot and other euemies Of
quality become more plentiful.
Wormy or half.rotten corn is dan
gerous stuff for horses to eat. Every
shovelfull of corn Of this years crop
has ears in it not fit to feed to .
horse, yet the praeticv OF many ls to
shovel all into a baske. and feed il
as it comes. Sometimes 1t turns
out to be all right to do this, then
again it does not. We know o.
many horses, in years past, tha
have been lost just because of eat
ing bad corn. The felix's will feeC
it. then wonder whac is the matte
with their horses. The only saf
way is pick it over well before feed
ing, letting the eff quality go to tn
hogs.

CLEARING UP

OLL n hllNO w
Tie financial situation IS clearing.
It is now confdentially predicted
by those hi8hu in financial circles
that within thirty days financial
matters will be moving along with
out a ripple, just as though there
had been no trouble. Then We
can sec just how foolish we have al!
been.

they are to run for only year.
The plain facts Of this trouble
are that there never has bsen a
single excuse for it. The country
never was in better shape as whole
thaa when this thing began.
Factories we're running over time
with big demand fer their product
at good prices. Laborers were all
at work at rcnumeratlve wages.
Farmers have had several years of
good crops and sold their products
at fine prices. The railroads were
all swamped with business and the
banks were full OF money unem-
ployed.
! Now comes the scare and every
body seeks TO horde up every dollar

refuse to pay out currency and in

WINTER GRAIN FOR COLTS

The crop of oats, taking the
grain growing country over never
was shorter than this year. The
present price, if nothing more,
is indicative of this, but anyone
who had field of oats needs only
to look ia his bins to know that the
yield was small.
There is no grain better than oats
for horse feed. A feed of oats
twice day is exactly what grow.
ing colts need, For this reason
alone we are going to keep right on
raising some oats, enough at least
to furnish a winter grain ration for
the celts raised on the farm. Col
onel Robson, Kansas best horse
man, says that corn is the next best
gram for colts. If you haven't
plenty OF oats, he says, feed plenry
of corn. But Robson always has
plenty Of good alfalfa to balance
the corn he feeds. Oats come much
nearer being a complete ration than
corn, especially when fed with COM
mon prairie hay, the only kind that
many farmers have to feed.
We know of no safer investment
than Kansas land at present prices.
Look at copper stock, certain lines
OF railroad stock and any kind OF
stock that is tossed around BY Wall
Stree manipulatorsl Then com.
pare with it the safe, solid, conser-
yative increase in the value Of
Kansas land. Strangers who buy
only to hear they have "got
soaked" need not take such talk
seriously.

Not Sour Grapes but a False Report.

heading which the Rocky Ford Tribune
gives to clipping from the Holly Chief
tain. The clipping says that Lyon & Cog
gins will have their headquarters at Holly

alleged change is attributed to tho failure
Of Lyon & Coggins to secure the Rocky
Ford Associations contract for this year.
The Holly Chieftain is all wrong. Lyon
& Coggins will have their headquarters
at Rocky Ford as for many years past.
They have secured an office next door to
