NATIONAL AUTO HYMN.

L. D. Pitcher of Daytona, Florida,
as written the following, to the tune
f America:
My auto, it's of thee,
Engine of deviltry-
Of thee ! sing.
Car that's it's makers pride
Let all who wish to ride
Full oil cans bring.
My touring auto, thee
Car of rapidity-
Thy name I love.
I love thy repair bills,
My frequent fines and spills"
Result of ''pace that kills
/ do, by Jove.
Let chauffeur levers seize,
And when We take our ease,
In tonneau strong,
Let smells fill up our wake,
Let all that breathe partake
And then their silence break
With curses long.
Our nations cry to thee
Author of misery
To thee I sing.
Long may our car be bright
With Standards trusty light;
Protect us in our flight
From numbering.

five years pastor Of the Presbyter-
ian church Of this city. rendered his
resignation last Sunday. having re-
ceived a call frcm the Centenary
Presbyterian church Of Spokane.
Wash. Mr.. Bluhm will occupy the
pulpit Of the local church until July
18th. when he will go up into the
high mountains near Twin Lakes for
a few weeks final communion with
the beauties Of nature in the play
ground Of Colorado. Mr.. Buhm
goes to Spokane the latter part of
, August TO take up his new work in
the interior metropolis Of the North
west.
Mr.. Bluhm came to La Junta
September /. 1903. from Hoboken.
N. j.. and during his FIVE Year pas
torate has witnessed wonderful
transformation in the temporal con-
ditions surrounding his charge the
building of the finest house OF wor-
ship in the Arkansas Valley. whose
F, interior is adorned and beautitied
with the only pipe organ hereabouts
the accomplishment of which was
due in no small degree to the en-
thusiasm and energy of the pastor
in charge. During his pastorate the
church has more than doubled in
membership, and while in charge he
has conducted fifty-one funerals,
baptized twenty-five infants and
sixty-one adults. united sixty couples
in marriage. and received lS5 new
members into the church. which at
present has membership of 255
Rev. Bluhm's pastorate was enc
of the longest in the history of the
church. and he leaves with many
fond memories of his residence
! here.
At congregational meeting of
the church held last "Wednesday
evening resolutions were adopted as
follows:
Resolved. That we. the members
of the First Presbyterian church Of
La Junta, Colorado. at congrega-
tional meeting held on the lst day
of July, 1908. hereby express to Rev.
Conrad Bluhm. our retiring pastor.
our love and esteem During the
/ five years he has served US as pastor.
he has proved himself to be an earn
est. conscientious Christian. and an
indefatigable worker for the up
building of our church. The large
increase in our membership. our
handsome new church building. and
our elegant pipe organ. are all
evidences Of his untiring efforts.
His heoric work in our effort to Sc
cure Presbyterian college at La
Junta. will always be remembered
by the citizens of La Junta. In all
his labors he has been ably assisted
by his Christian wife. and in behalf
of the ladies of our church. we here
by extend to her our deepest love
and esteem. We feel that what is
our loss is others gain. and humbIy
pray that the choicest blessings of
the Advise God may go with them
to their new field Of labor, and be
with them through life.

Sig Money in Poultry.

o. c. Frantz. of the Rocky Ford
Poultry Company. was county
seat visitor last Monday on business.
Mr.. Frantz is greatly interested in
the development Of the poultry in
dustry in the Arkansas Valley, for
he is of the opinion that it gives
greater returns on the amount of
capital invested than any other.
While here he delivered to William
Ross. of this city, consignment of
230 incubator baby chicks one day
old.
Mr.. Frantz. while making call
upon the great family journal force.
gave some interesting statistics con-
corning the poultry industry. Dur
| ing a period of six months ninety
three single comb white Leghorn
pullets laid 9 49l eggs, which were
disposed of as follows:
Sold eggs for setting. :. s240.25
Sold fresh eggs. 63.Z2
Eggs used in home. value. 1882
Eggs used for Matching. -. D.32
Sold baby chicks. 53.85
Total. ss93. Is
Cost of feed, etc 69.N
Clear gain in six months. 1924 q
The above does not include 500
choice baby chicks on hand as re-
suit Of the six months campaign.
Mr.. Frantz thinks there are
greater advantages in raising poul-
try in In Junta than there are in
Rocky Ford. for the reason that
there is always q better market fer
eggs and poultry in the county sest.
and also cheaper feed.
People around Ii Junta should
|pay more attention to poultry. !.
