Big POTATOES
IN THE AULT
DISTRICT

Ault. August 24.-Two spuds
weighing one and one-quarter pounds
when laid on the scales, is going
some for new potatoes. But that is
the kind that Jack league dug up
on his ranch day or two ago, and
the field gives evidence of there be-
ing others just like them. The spud
crop on some OF the more favored
ranches will undoubtedly break the
record this year. The general crop
Ii also good. although the grasshop-
pers and the bugs have damaged
some places.
A match for this story comes from
another farm northeast OF Ault. The
owner of that place found an Early
Ohio that measured 81 inches one
way and II the other.

what Strangers Think of Greeley
AS Residence City

'front.' yards OF mos. cities OF this
size" she said enthusiastically.
The absence of saloons 10 the
greatest asset in Greeley's favor -
a home town in the eyes OF every
mother. One lady from oalt Lake
remarked. Greeley must be Para
disc with no Mormons and no sa-
looms"
Because Greeley deserves Its name
"a city of churches" Ia another rea-
son it is no well liked for people Of
almost any faith can find their home
church in Greeley.
The shade trees excite more COM
ment perhaps. than anything else.
Greeley is imagined the same as
many western towns, bleak and bar
rem with no shade and when the
place is visited and found to be a
veritable forest. with the comfortable
homes nestled among the trees. the
surprise and wonder remains with
the visitor until he leaves. and the
last remark he makes will be about
the trees.
Greeley has the most beautiful
little park" is the comment heard
daily from out OF town people, and
one. bright little woman added. IT
shall never forget the hour I spent
there this afternoon. waiting for my
train" She was going to Fort Col
Inns from the ea.t and before COM
ing did not know that Greeley was
on the map. but she will always
have pleasant memories OF the place
because OF that hour OF enjoyment.
which was so different from the wait
she had anticipated in a stuffy sta
tion.
The women rave over the beau
ties OF the city. its pleasant homes.
fine churches, good schools. pretty
gardens, ETC.. and the men like the
same things, but they are also i'm
pressed with Greeley because Of the
fine business opportunities and ex-
cellent chances for investment And
this is all true, because Greeley Is
supported by one of the richest
farming districts In the world.

BETS DESPITE
lNROAD OF
WORMS

From districts where the beet
worm got in the most work comes a
report that in many fields that were
stripped bare the plants have grown
new leaves since the disappearance
of the worm and that the beets them
selves are absolutely unhurt. The
worms went into the ground about
ten days ago and now every field has
thousands of moths, which are harm
less. The prospects for big beet
crop are now considered good. The
machinery at the Greeley, Eaton and
Windsor factories is being overhaul
ed and at Eaton a new high line is
being erected.

:: BUSINESS OUTLOOK
\ !. :. !. = !. !. \ :. !. !. = !. !. :. :. !.

Conversations with Greeley mer-
chants indicate that the greatest vol
ume of business ever done in Gree
ley is expected for .Als fall. Nor
is the optimistic view of business
conditions without substantial foun-
dation. Weld county farmers will
this year harvest the greatest crops
in the agricultural history of the
country. This is practically assured.
The small grain, such as has been
threshed, is yielding an unusual
number of bushels per acre. Beets,
potatoes and other products are keep
ing up the increase and there will
be thousands of extra dollars for
spending money when the crop re-
turns begin to pour in.

CENTRAL HEATING PLANT Is \
MODERN FEATURE
SUGGESTION IN DEMAND
Firm of Douglass \ Coleman Is Nom
Plusscd 10 Meet the Require
ments of the Hour IN 'he
Line of Houses for
Rental Purposes

"What Greeley needs most to NEE
the present strong demand for renta
houses with modern conveniences Il
the block heating system said D. \
Coleman of the firm of Douglass x
Coleman yesterday. The reinaIh \
was passed following the seventeenth
inquiry received yesterday for a
modern house to rent, five or SIX
rooms, lights, heat and baths.
at would be the most paying IN
yestment possible right now de-
clared Mr.. Coleman. "if some per-
son would build a block of houses
with a central heating plant. one
woman who has only recently nm
isbed a whole block of houses for
rental purposes has been lamentlng
for several weeks that she overlook
ed the opportunity to make this IN
noyation. A whole block of houses
could be heated by one central plant
and l believe this system will be in
stalled bv somebody in the near fu-
ture. The first one to bring the sys-
tenn into vogue in Greeley Will GER
tainly earn large profit from the in |
creased rent and the lack OF wear on
the houses. 1t makes the houses
more cleanly and sanitary and houses
OF that class could readily be rented
for a half more than the ordinary
house"
Referring again to the inquiries
received by this firm yesterday, and
there were seventeen of them before
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, there
were persons from Monmouth. H.,
and one man from Topeka, Kansas.
They stated that they wanted 10
spend the winter in the ideal climate
Of the Greeley district and that they
would make their homes here at
least temporarily il it became neces-
sary for them to erect their own res
dences.
The members of this firm predict
hat this fall will see record break
ing number of homeseekers in Gree !,
ley, August thus far having broken
all records for the number of per-
sons who seek permanent homes.
