mETHoolsM TO BE ADVANCED
Ten Thousand Dollars viii Be Raised
To Be Used in the Work in
Colorado

Denver.-Bishop II. w. Warren OF
the Methodist Church for this district
left Denver recently for the Pacific
coast to attend the annual fall con
ference OF bishops OF the Methodist
Church. and on his return will bring
$lO,800 for the advancement OF Meth
odism in Colorado.
This sum represents Colorado's
share Of $750,000 to be appropriated
the coming year by the Methodist
Church for home missions. which
money is to be apportioned at meet
ing of the committee on home missions
of bishops, to be held November 14th
at Portland. Oregon. The Methodist
denomination will also distribute ST.,
100000 the coming year for foreign
missionary work. This will be appor-
toned at a meeting of the committee
on foreign missions of the bishops. to
be held on November 7th at Seattle.
In speaking of the large amount OF
money to be spent for missionary work
in this country-only $250.o00 less than
that to be used for spreading the gos-
pei in foreign lands-Bishop Warren
said that America was looked upon
now as the most foreign of all lands.
and a great missionary work had to be
done here. The gospel is being taught
in sixteen languages in this country
The money to be expended in the
coming year for missionary work is
the largest amount yet set aside for
this work by the Methodist Church
There is Il steady advance each year,
said Bishop Warren. The $l0,S00 foi
Colorado is exclusive of what will be
given for new church building

odist Church meet soon after the reg
ular fall conferences The purpose is

conferences and to lay plans for the

spups ARE KING IN MONTE VISTA
Elshty-three Dollars an Acre Average
Profit on San Luis Crop.

Monte Vista, Colo.-Po,ato digging
Ia just about finished here. and the
astounding number of 100000 bushels
were raised this year in the territory
contiguous to Monte Vista. Two thirds
Of this enormous crop have already
been shipped 10 Eastern and Southern
markets and the other third will be dis
posed of within week
No trouble whatever has been e2oe-

lily seen that the crop is worth $240.-
OOO
Nearly s25o,ooo has been added to
the wealth of the farmers around
Monte vista from the sale of this, a mi
nor crop: for, notwithstanding its gi-
gantic proportions. this must be con
sidered a minor crop in view OF its
small acreage. as only about 1000 of
the 100000 acres of farmable land
within twelve miles OF Monte Vista
Vista were planted in potatoes this
year.
One need not be a dreamer" to see
that the San Luis valley has latent pos
sibilities which. II properly developed.
would make 1t potato-raising territory
unsurpassed in the world.
AS to the profits realized this year, it
is seen from the above figures that the
average gross income from an acre OF
potatoes Is $l20. The average expense,
assuming that a farmer does not do any
OF the work himself. but hires it all
done, has been calculated to be $31 per
acre: thus it is seen that the average
profit. clear Of all expenses, to the San
Luis valley potato raiser for the year
Of 1907 is $50 per acre. The original
cost OF this land is but $50 to $50 per
acre. Not much wonder that the land
investors are arriving in Monte Vista
by the hundreds. Land like this will
not be on the market for an average Of
$45 per acre much longer
A few representative crops are given
below:
/ George Cole has the largest yield per
acre yet reported: OF of four acres
he raised 2,296 bushels, or 57i bushels
per acre. which. when sold. netted him
profit of about $3.50 per acre.
/ E. c. Wright had in seventy acres,
which netted him a profit OF $l25 an
acre. clear of all expenses, And this
on land which he paid $50 an acre for
about year ago.
] Zinser brothers had In 1870 acres.
which yielded $4,000 bushels. or $50
bushels per acre. which netted them d
clear profit OF nearly 500 per acre.
]. S. Campbell sold $2,i65 worth on
OF an eighteen acre field.
Tom Johnson raised 1000 bushels on
four-and a -half-acre patch. These.
when sold, brought 37l6. or $3.50 per

CHATTANOOGA "MOB"
 IS UNIDENTIFIED
NO POSITIVE TESTIMONY AS TO LYNCHERS OF THE NEGRO IN THE SHERIFF SHIPP CONTEMPT CASE.

Chattanooga, June 13.-The trial of Sheriff Shpp for contempt of the United States supreme court was at standstll today so far as the taking of testimony was concerned, but the government has located a very important witness in the person of ex-Constable Joe Franklin, the negro officer who disappeared from the city at the time of the first hearing. He will arrive tonight or in the morning and will testify when the hearing Is resumed. He will be the only other government witness and the defense will then begin it's testimony.
 1t is said that Franklin will identify several of the alleged members of the mob. He was on the bridge the night of the lynching and it is said that he recog- nized several men who took a part in the lynchng. Whether this Identification was by any means certain and whether the negro will be able to throw any real light on the case yet remains to be seen. Up to the present time there has been no positive testimony concerning the identity of the mob and it is understood that the defense has testimony that will refute the statements already made on the stand concerning the alleged participants in the mob.
 It is understood that the attorneys for Captain Shipp will introduce men of the highest standing in the community to show that the feeling had died down some time before the lynching and it came as q great surprise to the people generally. .,.flI of x1-ifn il. troduced by the attorneys for alleged members of the mob whose names have been brought into the testimony. There have been only few names mentioned as yet, and unless Franklin supplies some- thing additional there will not be large amount of evidence from this quarter

CHOCOLATE AND COCOA.
Gaining on Coffee and Tea in Race for
 National Favor.
From What to Eat.

From What to Eat.
 Chocolate and cocoa are not likely to oust coffee and tea in the national affec- tions, but they are pushing hard. We are spending a million dollars a month for cacao, which is the raw product from which both cocoa and chocolate are ob- tained
 During the last ten years our importa- tions of cacao have increased 200 per cent, while those of coffee have increased only 39 per cent and those of tea have decreased 14 per cent At the present time, cacao is gaining on it's rivals at a more rapid rate than ever before. Most of the cacao consumed in Amer! ca comes from Brazil, the British West Indies and the West Indian islands. It is during the last three years that the increase in calico importations has been most marked. Manufacturers have been forced to make addition after addi- ton to the capacity of their plants, to increase their working forces to enor- nous proportions, and still it has been almost impossible for them to fill all orders on time.
 Importers of raw products from the tropics are doing the most rushing busi- ness of their lives, and importers of pre- pared cocoas from Europe must get busy to keep from being trampled under foot by American enterprise in feeding the Chocolate tooth" Uncle Sam has cut
 The cocoa bean possesses more nitro- gen that wheat flour. and about twenty times as much fatty matter as wheat flour. One-half of the weight of cocoa is cocoa butter and one-third starch.
 In Central America cocoa constitutes the principal ration employed by river expeditions; in South America cocoa and maize cakes, comprising large amount of nourishment in very small bulk, are used as food for travellers on long over land trips; a case Is recorded of man who attained the age of a hundred years who ate nothing but chocolate and bis- c1lit for thirty wears.
