Car Lot Shipments.

Car lot shipments over the Colorado
& Southern from Elbert during the year
1906 represented a tonnage aggregating
1888 cars. During the year there were
shipped 234 car loads of grain consisting
of wheat, oats, rye and barley, 93 cars of
cattle, A cars of potatoes and IL of hay.
Owing to the shortage in the potato crop
last season, the spud shipments were
necessarily light compared with those of
former years. Grain shipments, how
ever, showed large increase over the
previous year. The total business for
the year at the Ebert station shows a
slight gain over 1905.

Is a Business Enterprise.

Said man to us the other day: at
would not hurt you to occasionally men
ton our business in the paper. 1t
would help fill up, you know" Yes. we
might do it. We have not the least
idea ON earth it would hurt us, and it
would AS he suggests, help to fill up.
We might do all this, but at the same time
we do not have to unless we feel like it.
1t would not hurt him either to come
around and say: "Give me column or
a half column of space for an advertise
ment, and here is the money for it. -
BY doing this he will become deserter
to that grand army of deadheads who
expect the newspapers to continually
note the improvements they make by
giving them free puffs, and for which
they never pay cent. 1t is high time
for all classes to learn that newspaper
is a business enterprise, the same as a
dry goods store or grocery, conducted
for living for its Exchange.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Safe
Medicine for Children.

rem. never be afraid to buy Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. There is no dan
ger from it, ard relief is always sure to
follow. 1t is intended especially for
coughs, colds, Group and whooping cough,
and there is no better medicine in the
world for these diseases. 1t is not only
certain cure for Group, but, when given
as soon as the croupy cough appears,
will prevent the attack. Whooping
cough is not dangerous when this remedy
is given as directed. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful drugs, and may
be given as confidently to baby as to

II Pays to Patronize
Home Institutions.

The fact that it pays better to buy
merchandise at home rather than send
away for an article that you have never
seen, was amply demonstrated in this
town recently, says the Glendale, Mimi,
Eagle. One of our business men, man
of intelligence and more than ordinary
shrewdness in business transactions,
sent to wrecking company for bill of
lumber. How did he come out in the
dealf At the small end of the horn. 1t
is the concensus of opinion that only one
word fully expresses the condition;
Soaked" The drayman hauled it up
from the car to the building ground and
dumped it after the fashion of brush
heap. That was the only way to do it.
There was no uniformity in size. There
was all lengths and conditions of lumber,
large part unfit for use, some full of
nails, altogether heap OF truck which
few carpenters would be anxious to
tackle and an expensive lot to work up.
New lumber will have to be purchased
to take the place of that which is worth
less and imptacticable, and all in all, it
is said the material will cost much more
than it would had it been bought at
home anu all new lumber.
What recourse has man under these
circumstances? None whatever The
local dealer does not expect pay till his
goods are delivered and accepted as
satisfactory, but not SO with these out
side concerns; they collect their money
in advance. The material is Just as
represented-it is easy to jungle with
words. Black aud white may be de-
scribed in the same terms il the language
is skillfully generalized. III the truth were
known as to how many people are done
to the queens taste each year by placing
their orders with other than their home
merchants perhaps the practice would
be largely discouraged. The average
man, however, will swallow his dose in
silence, that his pride may not suffer
from the lashings of sarcastic tongues.
The gambling element about this
sending away for bargains in various
articles of merchandise is one of its
chief destinations and it is not uncom-
mon to find those who only become
more confirmed in the habit with each
succeeding time they are taken in
like the amateur poker player, who
barely RECEIVERS from the soreness of his
last defeat before he plunges in again
with all the odds in favor of a repetition
of his former experience. 1t is probably
useless to discuss the matter farther, as
the most convincing proof OF the value
of home buying as builder of town
and county is denied us, namely: A
community where a patriotic spirit pre-
walls impelling all the people to be
mutually helpful. Could such com
munity be found we are certain the
light of its prosperity would make plain
the material benefits to be derived by a
stauueh and loyal support of ones
home town and country and its institu-
ft..ta *.
