OF this total estimated apple
production of seven states this
Oregon authority credits Colorado
with producing 500 car loads more
than the other six states. OF the
total output from Colorado.
Paonia will send out nearly one
fourth Paonia alone wiil ship
more apples than Utah and Idaho.
She will ship more than the entire
state of Oregon. By the time
this paper is printed she will have
shipped more than the entire crop
OF either Montana or New Mex
ico. In other words no other
state in the west will produce
anywhere near so many apples as
Colorado and no town in the state
will send out so many as Paonia.
Is it not grand showing2 How
many OF our readers have ever
considered this matter as II is?
Some times we hear talk that in.
dicates that this point is one of
the small producing sections. in
deed we have heard PaonIa citI-
zcns speak as If our output was
bu, a drop in the bucket when
the fact is that we are the greatest

the west. This year this station
will ship one. eighth of the entire
western apple crop. Let that

of the people to a greater ex,en,
than any man who has yer Sc

personally known Judge Lindsey
for years and we believe him TO
be very nearly spotless in morals.
We have always regarded him as
filled with egotism beyond the
normal and possessed of many
elements of weakness. We think
he proves that when he confesses
to having tried suicide and made
a miscuc OF it. But he is not OF
the class that debauches himself
with women or other carnal vices.
And he is telling lots of truth in
his story the Beast and the Jungle.

some startling replies and among
the many we clip the following:
Almost unanimously ii was

the workingmen of the city re-

that half of these do SO from
indifference and the other half
from hostility.

SUNDAY NIGHT MUSINGS.
BY [. T. RAwALT.

The thrifty and enterprisIng
town of Grand Valley in Mesa
county will soon have a mountain
water system. Delta was the first
city in this part of the state to
supply itself with pure mountain
water and Grand Valley will be
the second Delta Tribune.

crates IN thin air with age.

But the reputation OF a town loses

least the first in this vicinity, to
get pure mountain water, was
Paonia Lagging along in the
rear as usual was Delta. Montrose.
Grand Junction and other small
places. We forget which one OF
the three last mentioned towns
did follow Paonia closest. We
think 1t was Delta. and that place
was doubtless crowded up by
being located so close to a live
town. And as to Grand Valley.
we are very glad they arc getting
busy. All The towns in the irri-
gated districts need mountain
water and must have 1t sooner or
later. As yet the Montrosc sys-
TEN IS deficient. Delta has much
trouble owing to poor installation
and Grand functions plant rests
in staiu quo awaiting the settle
mcnt OF licensed saloons versus
bootleggers. Blu; the Paonia sys-
tenn is dong fine work every day
in the year and still our nearest
neighbors forget the fact.
II there IS any reason 10 doubt
that the Jungle stories now ap-
pcaring in Everybody's magazine
written by Judge Lindsey, arc
stirring up the animals, the frantic
efforts being made to discredit
the Judge would disprovc them.
This week a frame up was fixed
and two women. one OF whom
sworc on the stand that her resi-
dcncc had been a house of bad
reputation, had trial based on
an assault and beating. The al
lcgcd cause Tor the trouble being
the desire of one OF the chippies
to take Judge. Lindsey away from
the other. OF course every man
and woman of sufficient intclli-
gcnce to pound sand in rat hole
will see through the game. Judge
Lindsey is man who cultivatcs
ladies of easy virtue-crgo he is
unreliable in all things. That is
what the authors of the conspir-
acv would have the dear public
believe. A couple of Pinkerton
pimps all but confessed TO the ed
itor of Everybody's that this ex
pose would be made, and now
their promise is made good. 1t is
not very hard to read between the

SAGE for parkenlno the Hair.

There Is nothing new about the
idea Of using sage for restoring tie
color of the hair. Our great grand
mothers kept their locks soft, dark
and glossy by using sage tea
Whenever their hair fell out or took
on dull, faded appearance, they made
a brew of sage leaves and applied 1t
to their hair with wonderfully bene-
fetal effect Nowadays we don't have
to resort to the old-time, tiresome
method of gathering the herbs and
making the brew. This is done by
skillful chemists better than we could
do it ourselves, and all we have to do
is to call for the ready made product.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, contain
ing sage in the proper strength, with
the addition of Sulphur. another old
time scalp remedy. This preparation
is sold by all first class druggists for

Too many Keokuk citizens are
handicapped with bad back. The
unceasing pain causes constant misery
making work burden and STOPPING

aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff and
lame. Plasters and liniments may give
relief, hut cannot reach the cause. To
eliminate the pains and aches you
must cure the kidneys.
Doans Kidney Pills cure sick kid
neys and cure them permanently. Can
you doubt Keokuk evidence.

Keokuk, Iowa, says: 81 can confirm

Pills in my behalf had consider
able trouble from my kidneys, the Sc
cretions passing too frequently. I
also suffered from severe backaches
and pains across my loins, and was
unable to get relief until procured
Doan's Kidney Pills from Wilkinson

boxes, the kidney weakness was cor
rected and my Kidneys gave me no
further trouble. l have had no need
of a kidney remedy since and can
therefore recommend Doan's Kidney
