Pumpkin Sugar In Iowa.

Sugar from pumpkins will be the
next source of wealth which will be
developed in Iowa, for the authori-
ties at the agricultural college de-
clare high grade sugar will be made
bfrom them by process even more
simple than that required to make
it from beets. Experiments have
resulted in the production of a
species of pumpkin which contains 4
per cent of sugar and it is the pre-
diction that in three years the sugar

County Notes.
fFrom the Holly ChieftainI


j. s. McMurtry went up to Rocky
Ford last Friday to get his automo-
bile, which he had rebuilt at that
place. He was going to have it
come by freight, but thought it was
too slow.
An accident that might have been
more serious occurred to one of the
drsy wagons of j. w. Bryce at the
depot Saturday night. While switch
ing the yards local train became
unmansgeable and bumped into the
dray that was then beloaded with
the result that it was severely dam
aged and the contents. apples, candy
and kerosene, were thrown to the
four winds by the force of the un-
controlled car.

A Republican Legislative Program
Out of some nine hundred billt
introduced in the state Legislature
about nine of them are of public in
terest.
Tomorrow the republican major
ity in the legislature will hold g
caucus to determine on the work
that is to be done during the las,
half of the session. Measures OF
public need and Importance will be
selected for passage.
The party has placed itself on
record for certain reforms. These
must be carried out.
Railroad legislation of practical
character is required in this state.
The railroads are now operated from
New York. The public is not con-
suited State pride, that once had
such q place, is out of the question.
The roads are run to produce div
idends. A railroad commission with
authority to require the railroads to
deal justly with Colorado in the
matter of rates and accommodations
should be provided. The law should
follow as closely AZ possible the fed
eral law.
Banking legislation that will re-
store the confidence Of depositors
and encourage saving on the part OF
wage earners should be adopted with
out any dispute. Every precaution
should be taken to guarantee apolicy
issued by an insurance company do
ing business in this state. Colorado
cannot afford to lag behind other
states and within the last two years
much has developed in the insur-
ance world that requires Legislative
enactment.
Colorado would be greatly benefit.
ed through the proper distribution
and expenditure of the large amounts
of money spent yearly in road work
A system should be established and
the good roads bill should be placed
on the republican party program.
A just law dealing with the liquor
question, conserving what has beer
already gained and giving proper
advantages to the people to regulate
saloons, should be passed without
question.
And above all, the majority in the
Legislature should see to it that th'
state revenues are maintained al
they have been in the past two years
Appropriations should be held vel
within the limit of probable reve
nues.-Denver Republican.

pumpkin will open up valuable

pumpkins may be planted in the
corn fields, and the same soil which

GETTING CIVILIZED FAST.

Frank Kurahara left town rather
suddenly last Friday and his absence
caused alarm among many of the
merchants, among them O. N.
Shelton, W. @. Simpson and others
who had been furnishing his camps
with provisions.
He was a contractor and had al
ways paid his bills promptly until
close to the end of the season, when
he commenced to lag.
The total bills outstanding amount
to something like $1,000. Several
of the men who were working for
him are still here and they will be
brought into court and efforts will
be made to collect from them a por-
ton of the amount due the various
dealers.
= TFrom the Granada Times.I
There is not a vacant house in
Granada at present. In several in
stances two families are occupying
the same dwelling.
E. NJ. Steward, Of Lamar, the
dealer in tombstones at that place
was down to Granada last week
erecting family monument for the
family Of w. H. Morris at the Gra
NADIA cemetery.
Walter Creek intends soon to put
in a compressor in his meat market,
which will do away with the use of
ice. He has ordered new gasoline
engine of sufficient horse power to
run the compressor and also the
electric lights. This will be quite
an acquisition for Granada, as 1t will
be the only machine of its kind in
use in this part of the state.
About twelve hundred acres of the
Graham ranch is to be broken up
this summer in preparation for seed
ing it to winter wheat next fall. No
water will be applied next summer
to the land thus treated, in order
that the alfalfa and grass which is
plowed under may have a chance to
die out. W. II. Chaplin is the man
ager of the ranch and says that the
land is now on the market for those
who desire to purchase This is one
of the finest ranches in the valley
and its opening for sale means much
to Granada.

NOnona Lake Assembly.

The Assembly opens July 18th anc
closes August 9Th. A program most at
tractive and interesting is offered. Dur
ing the session of twelve days there will
be given more than fifty sermons, lee
lures and entertainments. La addition
there are schools for Bible study, vocal
music, physical culture and nature
study. Time is given for rest and recre'
alton, the beautiful lake offering excel
lent opportunities for boating, fish ng or
bathing. Among the speakers pre- Iented
are some of the most brilliant ora ors in
the country, some of them being: Rev
George r. Stuart of Tennessee; 1u DE
Witt Miller, Hon. William j. Bryan, DR..
Thomas E. Green, Rev. William j. Daw-
son of London, Rev. Frank Dixon, DR..
Hicks, the weather prophet, and Judge
Samuel r. Artman. There will be read
ing and representations, illustrated lee
lures, moving pictures, jubilee singers,
caricaturists, ETC., altogether making one
of the most attractive programs ever
offered. To bring the cost of living at
the Assembly to a minimum, and thus
extend the benefits of the institution to
a greater number, the management has
reduced the price of tents about one
half. The Quarterly containing the pro.
gram and other information can be had
by addressing James E. Moseley, Score
tary, Madison.

The Kansas City Journal is OF the
opinion that our civilization has not al,
ways progressed along right lines. 1t
lately made a most vicious attack on
that handy tool of modern civilization
the fork. 1t says that in the old days
when one knife and one fork, with a
spoon or two, served for disposing OF
meal, it was simplicity itself. Today
there is bewildering multiplicity OF
tools laid in an imposing row beside the
plate, and the majority of them are
forks. The Journal denounces without
stint or stay the fork, whether two, three
or -pronged, and pleads for its dis
continuance with vigor and vocifera
ton that must win for it the universe
applause of all the people in the great
Western pie belt, but more especially to
the people who prefer the trusty knife
blade to the tines of the fork.

Victory for the A. 5. of f..

The Hon. VIM. A. Cernaham, the bolo
and fearless advocate of the A. S. of r
and member of the state legislature, has
successfully championed the binder
Irvine bill. His unceasing efforts laid
great stress on the state Legislature and
senate, and through his influence with
the aid of the Square Deal members the
bill passed both houses, and it is impor-
tant that the Wisconsin farmers should
in future bear in mind the opponents OF
the bill, and when they come up for
office turn them down as enemies of the
farmers interest, and there are many
people who think that farmers are a
tool, and that they are to be used at
operators will, and that favors must first
go to all other classes.

Quadrupeds That Lay EGGS.

The salesman as he wrapped up the
eggs conversed politely.
''There are quadrupeds that lay
ma'am," he said.
"That lay eggs?"
Eyes. They are mammals, ma'am
too. Their home is in South America
their names are the ornithorhynchus,
or duck billed platypus, and the echid-
ma, or porcupine ant eater They are
the lowest mammals known"
"ReallyT'
ooh, yes! The duck billed platypus
lays two eggs at time. But the
echidna lays but one egg, which it car
ries in natural pouch beneath it's

there-until the kid echidna, so to
speak, is hatAed out."-Los Angeles

The city of Oshkosh is indeed to be
congratulated on its good fortune In
having such a public spirited citizen as
Col. John Hicks, who not only presented
beautiful and inspiring monument
to his home city, but who thought 80
we'll of the people with whom his life
work has been cast, that he journeyed
distance of 14,O0O miles in order to be
present at the unwilling. The people of
Oshkosh in general, and the veterans of
the civil war 10 particular, will have
cause to remember the donor with new
feelings of friendship and appreciation.

AT GREEN BAY Mr.. McGovern assured
the assembled citizens that SO per cent
of the American people are slaves to the
l per cent. of predatory plutocrats. But
there are no slaves in Wisconsin. LaFol-
lette has freed them with his primary
election law and railway commission.
Here we have equality. There are no
rich-no poor. The predatory plutocrat
has been crushed. The man OF wealth
is the peoples friend. And what has
been done in Wisconsin may be accom-
plished in the nation il we shall set our
