Front Store

A. c. Probert, formerly of Molina,
Mesa county, Colo, has bought the
Red Front store from j. F. Rocho
and has now taken active possession.
MIR. Probert seems to be a hustler and
should make valuable addition to
the business fraternity of the city.
The Plateau Voice. published at
Collbran, Colo, has the following to
say about Mr.. Probert and his busi-
ness ability.
"A. c. Probert closed up his busi-
ness affairs and took his departure
to Greeley this week. leaving his old
mercantile establishment in charge
Of Harvey e. Harsh, its new prophet
ors. Mr.. Probert was in business AT
Molina about two and on-half years,
and during this time was recognized
as one of the valleys foremost
boosters and most enterprising busi-
ness men. He goes to Greeley to
AXE charge of large general store.
n competition with many other os-
Adjustments of the kind; but with
his experience, energy and ability
10 make friends, there is no oues-
ion but Mr.. Probert will secure his

Special to the Daily Tribune
Chicago, Aug. 19.-Startling dis
closures were made here today by
the United States custom authorities
in regard to the wholesale attempts
to beat the custom system of This
city, New York and Washington. The
disclosures are the more surprising
in view of the prominence of the
parties involved Mrs. Emily Rock
we'll Crane Chadbourne, daughter Of
Richard I. Crane, president OF the
big manufacturing company of tia.
name, and Mrs. Jack Gardner, o.!
Boston are the women involved.
1t is charged that under the
classification of household goods
Mrs. Chanbourne recently brought
into this country good of various
kinds for Mrs. Gardner, to the value
of 100000. All of the goods have
been seized and confiscated by the
revenue officers. Mrs. Chadbourne
has already paid s75.OOO in penalties
and even then Mrs. Gardner will have
to pay an additional $4,000 before
she can secure her property.
In spite of the settlements made,
it Is not unlikely that both women
will face Indictment at the next ses-
sion of tn federal grand jury.
Mrs. Gardner came into fame some
months ago by having brought stone
by stone to this country one of the
old Venitian palaces.

And then take housekeeping mat

waste of money. because the more
material you have on hand the more
you are likely to use. And yet this
wholesale way of stocking up the
lar,ler is recommended by so called
economists. Making soap at home is
poor economy. and so is baking pud
dinss and beans. which requires the gas
stove for many hours. These things
are much cheaper bought at the
bakery.
Ordering by telephone is a great eN-
travagance. and giving your orders to
the man who calls is almost as bad
The thing to do is to go to the store
and see them cut the meat and select
the vegetables.
Not Knowing current prices of thing

Walking to save car fare is foolish
1t doesn't save shoes.
Neglecting to take a cab when Il
rains and you have nice dress on is
also foolish. You certainly spoil more
than the price of the cab ride.
Going out on rainy day unless II
can possibly be avoided is also an eX
travagance Better let things wait an
other day and keep the bottom of youl
skirt and your shoes dry.

waste of time and money. She viii

E,GENE GRUBBs FILES CHARGES
Member of state Board OF AKricui'
ture Demands investigation

Hon. Il. ii. Grubb of Carbondale
has filed with the governor charges
against the administration OF the
Agricultural College. His charges
are lengthy and explicit, but do not
include very much that has NOT al
ready from time to time been made
public. He calls attention again 10
the fact that the live stock at the
college were some years ago infect
ed with tuberculosis and that cattle
from this herd were sold to farmers
through the state. even after II was
known that the cattle were injected.
The herd was bought in Iowa and
was doubtless infected when brought
to Colorado Under Prof. Carlyle 8
MANAGEMENT all of the tuberculosis
animals were disposed OF and re-
moved from the farm. Mr.. GruDh
also calls attention to the manner In
which the present situation at Fort
Collins has developed and blames the
president and members OF the board
| for the conditions that now prevail.
He asks that his charges be investi-
gated and steps taken at once to put
the institution upon better basis.
The situation at Fort Collins seems
to be getting steadily worse instead
of better 1t is reported now that
majority of the board are arrang-
ing to get rid of Prof. Carlyle and
| his faculty. Conditions have appar'
emily about reached crisis and II
is probable that when Governor
Buchtel comes home next week he
will be called upon to take action In
the matter. The removing of Carlyle
and Olin would stir up sensation In
the state, and is doubtful If the ad'
ministration would care to have the
college troubles thus forced into the
fall campaign. That further and
prompt action by the State Board OF
Agriculture is imperative must bt
apparent to all and it is not impro
bable but that the governor will soor
take hand.-Record Stockman.
