TO the exclusion of all other seed
in 1909. With each sack is sent
a pedigree of the wheat register
ed with the secretary of the Colo
rado Grain and Seed Growers
association, F. Knorr.
Probably the greatest work
Prof. A. f. Blount ever did for
Colorado was to improve her
spring wheats. Here is an oppor-
tunity to get an absolutely new
and pure stock of the best wheat
he ever developed. Do you want
it?
If you do, send your name and
address to the writer at once.
This wheat will not be held lon
ger than March l. and orders will
be filed according to date receiv-
ed.
We hope many farmers will be
content with fifty pounds of this
wheat instead of one hundred
pounds, so we can send it to more
farmers. If you desire some of
this seed, write at once to &.

CLAIMS HER MARRIAGE
WAS VALID

Denver, Feb. 20. Beatrice Cor
don. acquitted of the murder of
William O. Shirey, will endeavor
to show that her marriage to him
in San Francisco stands valid IN
the eyes of the law. Charles B..
Ward. chief counsel for the de.
fense in the trial. said yesterday
that he feels confident this can be
done. He will take immediate ac.
tion in the matter, and if success
crowns his efforts, Miss Gordon
will relinquish all rights she may
have as Shirey's widow, and turn
the property over to his children,
retaining only so much money fol
herself as she would lawfully be
entitled to claim.
The evidence in the case show
ed that Miss Gordon had gwen
Shirey 5000 of her money for in
vestment and she says this has
never bttll returned. VII lHt al
ternoon of the murder, Miss Cor
don met Shirey down town and
telling him she was going to her
home in Lafayette, asked for the
money. He replied that it would
be impossible to give it to her at
that time, and the 5000 remains
as part of his estate. This
money is what Miss Gordon will
ask for.
When on camping trip in
Gunnison county, those in the
party testified that Miss Gordon
was known as Shirey's wife and
she was introduced as such by
him to strangers. She believed
they were married until one day,
while quarreling with him, Shirey
told her their marriage in San
Francisco had been mockery
These facts will all be considered
when the case is taken up by At
torney Ward.

BLOUNT's DEFIANCE WHEAT

A four-ounce bottle of pedi-
greed defiance wheat which Prof.
A. E. Blount had grown in his
wheat nursery, was found at the
Colorado experiment station in
1908. AS nearly as it could be
determined. this wheat had been
grown twelve years before.
The entire bottle full of wheat
was seeded. Three kernels grew,
one throwing up fourteen spikes
of wheat. This most desirable
plant was allowed to mature seed
and the others were destroyed.
From this plant seeded in 1908,
the station has carefully devel-
oped several hundred bushels OF
choice seed wheat, the direct
progeny of one kernel of Def
ance wheat. The station has
planned to distribute this wheat
to the farmers of Colorado who
are growing a spring wheat, Gun
der the ditch" in amounts not to
exceed 100 pounds per farmer, at
three cents pound.
This is far below the cost OF
production of this wheat, since ii
has required constant care and at
tention to maintain it absolutely
pure.
Farmers who will sow this seed
on a clean, well-prepared seed
bed should have enough pure
clean wheat to seed the general
field next year and should use il

replied that they were his, that
he had done the work and intend

drew revolver and fired five
shots at Stewart. Four of the
shots passed through Stewart s

GROVELAND

Repairs are being made upon the
Porterville bridge by engineers from
st. Anthony. 1t is hoped that they
may soon succeed in completing this
very important piece of work, as the
people OF Porterville have long been
deprived of direct communication
with Blackfoot.
A spirited Sunday-school Union
meeting by the officers of the Latter
day Saints Sunday-schools of the
Bingham Stake of Zion, was held Sun
day at Moreland. Members of the

vote of thanks for the faithful work
which they had performed. Remarks
of encouragement were made by the
Stake president, which we hope will
bear good fruit.

The Groveland public school is
working hard and in the right direc-
ton. The teachers and pupils are
determined to make the school sue
cess. Their motto is: DUTY before
pleasure. 1t is hoped that the pat
rons will give the school the support
to which it is entitled. The question
of erecting new school house is
one of immediate Importance. Ought
not Groveland with school popula-
ton of 200 pupils have a modern
school building? You patrons, re-
member the great amount of taxable
property which you have in your dis
trict, the railroad, the extensive
farms which ought to be made to
yield revenue for the support of the
public school. You have the power
to levy these taxes, and no tax can
be levied for a nobler purpose. Give
your children the benefit of a good
common school education, they will
need it, and you know they ought
to have it. Local patriotism is best
shown by the regard which you have
Tor the intellectual development of
your children.

latter in their work and for the COM
fort of the children and teachers.
The trustees have conceived the idea
that to have fewer grades In the
school will be a wonderful aid in
advancing the children In their work,
and for that reason will ask the peo-
pie TO authorize them at the next
school election to sell the frame
school building situated about three
miles west of here and fix up a
couple or more wagons or convey
ances-provided with stove, and
tightly covered, that the children
from the extreme distances of the
district may be brought and returned
safely and comfortably from and to
their homes, and still have the ad-
vantage of the grades in school. The
trustees are sanguine that move will
carry, and thus place our district in
the front ranks in the way of comfort
and good schools. A room in the
new brick building will be furnished,
and another teacher installed there.
They think, too, that the expenses of
the district will not be increased but
a very little, and are satisfied that the
benefits will more than offset that
part of the move.
