The present financial condition
will do more to increase invest
ments in land than anything that
has happened for quarter of a
century. There is but little
doubt but a considerable part of
the great amount of money be-
longing to individuals, and which
has been entrusted to banks as
deposits and thus held for possi-
BILE speculative chances, will go
into land as the safest and surest
depository. Land, bought at a
practical value, will not only
yield a fair interest on the money
invested, but it is fairly certain
to increase in value owing to the
fact that the per-capita acreage
is bound to decrease. Hence
lose money, instead of being
boarded or banked as heretofore,
will, to a great extent, seek good
land investments.

A newspaper has 5000 readers
for each 1000 subscribers. A
merchant who puts out 1000
handbills gets possibly 300 to 400
people to read-that is. if the
boy who is trusted to distribute
them does not chuck them under
the sidewalk. The handbills cost
as much as half-column adver-
tisement in the home paper. All
the women and girls and half the
men and boys read the advertise
ments. Result: The merchant
who uses the newspaper has
3, 500 more readers to each 1000
of the papers readers. There is
no estimating the amount of bus
mess that advertising does bring
to a merchant, but each dollar
invested in advertising brings to
the investor somewhere from $40
to $1OO worth of business. -

WIRELESS TELEPHONY AT SEA.

Enough value is attached to the
wireless telephone by the United
States government to lead to the
introduction of the apparatus on
war vessels. The ships which
are soon to be dispatched from
the Atlantic to the Pacific are
now being equipped with it.
Tests show that communication
for distances like five or ten
miles by this system is fairly
reliable, and it has worked at
least once between ships which
were twenty miles apart. The
principal use to which a wireless
telephone would be put in the
navy would be to enable an ad-
miral to talk directly to any cap

A lively war has started among
the grocery houses in Denver.
Independent concerns claimed a
few weeks ago that the whole
sale supply houses were in a
trust and squeezed out any firm
who attempted to sell at re-
duced price. Some Of the papers
took the matter up and now
number of the big grocery stores
have begun cutting prices. 1t is
hard to tell just what merit there
is in the whole matter. for the
old saying to the effect that
there are tricks in all trades"
still holds pretty good. But any,
thing that will reduce the high
prices at which food stuffs have
been selling, would give joy to a
host of consumers who have
found such prices up to or a little
above their income.

BEEF CATTLE HIGHER.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Nov. 13. Offerings on the Den
yer market last week were light
and the average quality not very
good. The supply of beef was
light and prices closed 25 to 4Oc
higher. The best beef steers
here sold at $4.OO to $4.1 and
best cows at S2.85 but quality
was nothing extra and choice
stuff would have brought more
money. Bulk of the fair steers
offered sold at So. 40 to So. 70 and
cows at 81. 35 to $2.7O. Common
stuff was very dull and hard to
move. The demand for some
good beef steers this week will
be strong but under present con-
ditions a very big run would be
disastrous. Bulls were firm at
$500 to $3.50. Veals in good de-
mand and steady. Feeder and
stocker supply was light. The
demand was light also as yard
traders were practically out of
the market and sellers had to de-
pend on country buyers for an
outlet. There were a good manv
Of these here but bids were very
uneven as most of them were
looking for bargains. Good steers
were called about steady but
medium and plain stuff closed 10
to 30c. lower. Receipts today
were 1000 head. Good beef cat
tie were strong to 15c. higher,
some choice cows bringing $3-4O,
but feeders and stockers were
no more than steady. Eastern
markets all lower under big re-
ceipts.
The hog supply last week was
very light and demand strong.
Prices dropped. about 9Oc. during
the week but there was re-
action on Saturday of about 15c.
and today a nickel, bulk of hogs
now selling here around 81. 95 to
$5.O5.
The sheep market was quiet.
Receipts were $1,000 last week
and 1900 today. Most of them
were billed through however, on
contract. Prices here are fully
in line with eastern quotations
but all markets are somewhat
lower than a week ago. The To-
cal demand is not very strong.

The latest duplicity on the part
of the sugar trust to worst our
Colorado farmers has recently
been exposed. Ever since the
beet industry was established
here the sugar trust has insisted
on furnishing our growers with
beet seed imported from Ger
many. For years the German
seedsmen have been endeavoring
to produce smaller beets without
lessening the sugar content or
injuring the quality and evident
ly they have succeeded in re-
ducing the bulk about one-fourth
as is demonstrated all over Colo
RADIO this year by the undersized
proportion of beets. This means
much cheaper supplies for the
factories and that instead of SIS a
ton the farmers are receiving but
So. rs as based on the tonnage of
former crops. Meetings are be-
ing held in the Arkansas valley
and will be called later in north
ern Colorado to protest against
this clever trick on the part of
the sugar trust and the farmers
will call for a new deal or quit
growing beets. Field and Farm.
The above article certainly does
not apply to this section, as our
beets are larger this year than
ever. .-Hotchkiss Herald.

men. While the statement has
some plausible features, its being
sprung on the public at this late
day is quite enough to stamp it
as whole cloth of exceedingly
thin texture. Gen. Grant was
in the public eye too long and too
prominently not to have had such
a yarn used against him politi-
