Ceier-Johnson

Photographer Murvin having
had an invitation to tttend the
Geier-Johnson wedding extended
his card limit to l.. j. Lundell,
our fashionable tailor. They got
ready early and started for the
johnson home on the North Di-
vide. On atheir way they took
several pictures. At one field of
winter wheat, which they pro
nounced the best they had seen,
Mr.. Lundell was induced to stand
out in the center of the field for
his picture. This grain was
soWn on sod and merely disked
in, but it came to Mr.. Lundell's s
shoulders.
On reaching the Johnson home
they were welcomed with the
usual genuine Swedish manner
and were asked to make them
selves at home. When the rig
appeared bearing the contract
ing parties the guests all fell in
to line and marched into the par
lor where Rev. F.. W. Bergquist
performed the ceremony that
was to unite for life Mr.. August
Geier and Miss Tida johnson.
Mr.. Geier is the second of his
family to invade the home Of Mr..
and Mrs. j. G. johnson and take
one OF their daughters to them
selves.
Mr.. Geier is a gentleman from
Denver and he has prepared a

he and Mrs. Geier will reside.
Miss Iida, as she was commonly
known by her friends, is an ac-
compished young lady and
leaves behind her a host of
friends who wish them long
and prosperous life. They were
the recipients of many valuable
and useful presents.
Mr.. Murvin and Mr.. Lundell
started home early, and when
Withlnabout seven miles of town
they were caught in rain storm

Potato blight, or the dying of the
leaves and vines before the crop is
matured, is commonly thought to be
entirely due to diseases which attack
the tops of the potato plant. We have
not found it so in Colorado. Spray
ing experiments with Bordeaux did not
materially lessen the blight, and the
microscopic plants which cause these
diseases are not commonly found as
sociated with this trouble.
We conclude, therefore, that the
premature dying of the potato vines
is usually an evidence that the under
ground portion OF the plant is diseas-
ed. Water applied at the wrong time,
or in too great amount, often so ia
vors the development of this disease
that the vines may be seriously dam
aged in a short time.
| Agricultural Bulletin No. 2G, says:
A few potato fields in Sedgwick coun-
ty show the presence of this disease
| in Il greater or less degree. If grow
ers will examine the underground
part Of the vines they will find dark
! circles running around the stems.
| This is known as the ''ring rot" and
| is present with blight.
The cOpiou> rains in connection
with irrigation have furnished too
much moisture. Fields that have not
| been irrigated show no signs of the
| blight

Notice to the Trade. The eX-
perience of the past month or
six weeks has demonstrated the
fact that the agreement entered
into to close our places of busi-
ness at 7:30 each evening has
worked hardship on the near
by country trade who are pushed
for time, and can only spare the
evenings to get to town to do
their trading 1t also works an
inconvenience to the town trade
who do not care to come down
town in the heat Of the day, but
much prefer to do their trading
when they come down for their
73D mail. In consideration of
the above statement | will, com

PRESENTED WITH BIBLE
AND SET OF RESOLUTIONS.

At the session of the Congregational Sunday school in Bethel, Sunday. Ar thur D. Fairchild of Taunton, for 10 years the efficient superintendent of that school, was presented with a hand some Bible and the following res olutions:

 That we tender him this testimonial of our appreciation and esteem for his untiring efforts. and self sacrifice in the interest of our School. He has given us conspicuous example of con sistent and unfaltering service for which we are pleased to give him this collective expression of our gratitude.
 Nothing better can be said of any official into whose hands has been in trusted the stewardship of office, than that he has been faithful.
 To this we cheerfully bear witness.
 Be it also further resolved:
 That copy of this testimonial be spread upon the record of the Sunday School and that another be given tc our retiring superintendent and es. teemed fellow worker.
 The presentation speech was made by Howard Judd, and replied to by MI Fairchild. It was complete surprise to MT Fairchild.

close to man as witness their sailing low over the bridge at Bridgeport. Establish game preserves and the game birds will soon learn the danger zone and certain number will be safe to breed and increase the number all around. The sportsman should add his influence to the movement to have the State set apart tracts of land free from all hunting that our future source of supply may be kept up.
 One after another the different states are prohibiting the export of quail and the Indian Territory is the last place that we can procure them. Where will come the supply when this source is ended. Under the preserve plan the State could propagate their own quail and distribute them about the state and during winter weather feed them and save them from this cause of loss. The preserve is the, best thing now open to the sportsmen looking for the best interests of the game birds and their future sport. Very truly yours. -[Wilbur F. Smith, County Warden.

A WORD FOR THE GROCER.

Don't be ina hurry to condemn your grocer. He may have troubles which you know not of, writes Howard Will Hams in Good Housekeeping. Con- petition is said to be the life of trade, but it may go so far as to be the death of trade. It takes a good business man to be a successful retail grocer. On some things his margin of profit is small-he carries many perishable goods, many things which deteriorate with age. He must keep his stock clean and up-to-date. It doesn't pay him to put in stock every new brand or ar ticle which may come out, but he is all ways glad to keep anything for which
 there is a demand. He wants your
 steady patronage, and he wants to please you. If he has something in stock which you don't want he may try to make you want it, because his profit depends on making sales, but if he knows what you want he will keep that. in stock. So don't fail to learn to let him know it. Mutual con- fidence will be good for both customer and dealer. su

Do you want a farm in the beautiful Yellowstone Valley? Uncle Sam has several hundred choice 40-acre farms in this valley in eastern Montana, which are offered to-day on easy terms to practical farmers who are citizens of the United States. These farms are in the eastern part of the State, only few miles from thriving city of 12,000 inhabitants; are located on two trans-continental lines of railroad, and are only two and one-half miles from shipping point. All of these farms are embraced withinsone of the Governments great irrigation projects.
 The lands lie at an elevation of 3,0uO feet above sea level. The climate is healthful and delightful; there is all most perpetual sunshine, and the soil
 is of exceptional fertility, producing abundant crops when watered. Wheat,
 oats, rye, barley and alfalfa are the principal crops grown. Alfalfa yields five tons per acre and is selling to-day at $5 per ton in the stack. Apples, small fruits and vegetables do well in this section. An especially profitable crop is sugar beets, which last year in the valley yielded nearly $50 per acre net when properly cultivated. Every seasonable effort to insure the success of the new settlers is being made by the Government. The lack of experience on the part of the newcomer is being overcome by the establishment of dem onstration farms. On these farms the settler may learn the crops best adapt ed to his locality, and the methods by which they should be grown. Wherever possible the Government gives employ ment to the farmers in digging ditches and laterals, and in other construction work, thus enabling them to earn lit tie money at times when labor is not required on their farms. There is no occupation in life that offers more sub- stantial reward or solid satisfaction than the operation and owership of a successful farm or fruit orchard in an irrigated region. There is degree ot | independence, keen enjoyment ot | life, and a satisfaction in accomplish ment that is rarely experienced else where. Having sunshine every day in the year, and being able to control the
 water supply, irrigation farmers car regulate plant production to the highest degree of perfection. Detailed infor
 nation concerning these lands ant
 terms may be obtained by addressing the Statistician, U. s. Reclamator Service, Washington, D. c. .... ..

PURE TEA AND TRASHY COFFEE

To-day not pound of impure tea is permitted to enter the United States.
 writes William H. Ukers in Good Housekeeping. In fact, tea is the on- ly beverage guaranteed to be pure by the government. The method is quite simple. The ports of entry have been reduced to seven, and a government'ex- pert is placed at each port, whose duty it is to compare every lot of tea with the standards established by the gov- ernment board of seven experts. And so, not only impure tea is excluded,
 but also all tea which is worthless and which does not equal the government standards in quality. Over against this picture all kinds of cheap, ,,trashy, grade coffees are being imported without let or hiGdrance. Surely thls situation seems trifle ncongruous. It
