going general overhauling. ex-
poets to resume business today.
During the shut down the mill was
thoroughly cleaned from top to bot
tom, fumigated, machinery over
hauled. and new machinery installed.
The fumigating process was an in
teresting one, and Tom Mainland. of
Denver, an expert in this line. was
employed to do the work. In the
first place the doors and windows of
the mill were thoroughly calked and
battened in order to facilite fumiga-
ton. and as the poisonous gas gen.
Grated is so deadly that one inhala-
ton would be sure death to human
icing, it was necessary to start the
fumigation process from the eXter-
Tor of the building. A great num-
ber of four gallon crooks. containing
three pounds OF sulphuric acid and
four pounds of water. were placed
IN various parts of the mill. Ropes

of the mill and suspended from them
by cords were three pound bags of

Did you ever hear of the woman
who is always complaining of being
80 tired?" We have a few repre-
sentatives of the genus homo right
here in La Junta. In the Denver
Post last Saturday Winifred Black
hands the tired women of Amer
ica' bunch which reads as follows:
Il said it once and take this occa-
sion to say it again, the average
American woman Of the humber
classes is either sick or lazy. How
do | know? How does any one know
yho has ever visited such a home for
even half day? The average
American woman is too lazy to learn
to cook and too stupid to learn to
make her own clothes and too del
icate to do the washing for her own
family. Any French peasant woman
who can't tell one letter of the al
phabet from the other, can teach
the average tiiltl liftii npiiiGiiA ~
sons in thrift. in order and in decent
cookery which ought 10 make the
American woman hang her head in
humiliation. The wife of the Amer
ican working man throws into the
garbage can every meal enough to
keep a French or German or Dutch
housekeeper going for a day.
American women fry chops because
it's easier to fry them than it is to
broil them: they buy bread at the
bakery and pie at the lunch counters
and the woman of today who makes
her own pickles and jellies and pre-
serves is shining mark among her
neighbors. and the American woman
who can cook meal which is fit to
sit down to, is a marvel to all her
friends who know enough to appre-
ciate good cooking when they taste
it,"

In a write-up of the recent doings
of the Knights of Columbus in this

"Wunderli's orchestra was there

those who had word of praise for

According to recent statement
of w. NJ. Wiley, general manager of
the Holly and Swink sugar factory,
the 1907 beet crop in the vicinity of
these factories will be double that of
1906, and similar conditions doubt
less prevail in the vicinity Of other
factories in the Arkansas Valley.
The farmers of this valley have
found sugar beets to be one of the
most profitable crops that can be
raised. 1t will not be surprising if
the next decade sees the number Of
factories in the Arkansas Valley
doubled. made necessary by the re-
markable increase in the acreage
devoted to the culture of sugar
beets.

II is said that at the present time
the Colorado farmers who are rais-
ing hogs, and who understand the
business, are doubling their money
every six to twelve months. At the
same time. many beginners, who,
having learned of the large profits
made by experienced hog raisers,
start raising hogs without any
knowledge of the business, and they
often lose, and frequently heavily.
A farmer new to the hog business,
noticed that in fattening hogs with
peas, considerable portion of the
grain assed through the animals
undigested. He got the idea that
if he fed the hogs concentrated lye
it would soften the peas in the hogs
stomachs and make them digestible.
He killed most of his hogs before he
learned that concentrated lye is not
a good hog feed.

for year, someone would do your
work about as well as you do, and
perhaps much better The mill
wheels would keep on turning. the
hotels would not close up, theaters
would continue to portray life on
the stage, railroads would run. banks
would keep open. newspapers would

preachers to preach. You are only

All of us will nave to take our hats

town happened last Monday night:
The whole town. about four hundred
strong, with brass band IN the

ticIpate in the ceremonies incident
to the opening of our street carni-
val. This is the way we long have
sought and mourned because we
found it not. The boosters of
Rocky Ford sent out advance no
tices of their intention to visit the
only big town in the Arkansas Val
ley, but no one seemed to have any
faith in the declaration. All of US
appreciated the good intention. but
could not help but remember the old
adage about hades being paved with

weather looked threatening just as

The status Of a drover who is riding
on a free pass in charge of cattle on

session yesterday, but will go over
until the next term because a Isl
similar to the one 10Y before the
court has been sent to the United
States supreme court and a decision
will be awaited from that court, the
issues being identically the same, says
the Denver Post. The Ease to have
been heard yesterday was a suit
brought by Lanson B. c. Kirdendall
against the Union Pacific railroad for
s25 900 damages for personal injuries
received while a passenger on a freight
train in charge OF cattle. February
25, 1908, he shipped two cars Of cattle
from Denver to South Omaha. Near
Sterling, Logan county, Colo, a rear
end collision occurred and he was
thrown against the si1e Of the caboose.
He was badly mangIed, his right shout
