FOR

MEETING

T. j. Skaggs of Colorado Springs
secretary of the Colorado keal Estate
association and editor of Rocky
Mountain Resources came in from
the south this morning and is spend
ing the day in Greeley comforting
with B. F.. Woodruff. who is one of
the directors of the state association

The July convention held in Boul-

in the history of the association and
Mr. Skaggs predicts another record
breaker for Greeley.
Mr.. Skaggs is the father of the
Colorado Realty Dealers association
and says the organization is doing
much toward building up the state

ASK $l,35O FOR
CHANGE ON
A SEWER

Consideration OF changing the out
let for the east side sewer was taken
up by the city council last night. A
petition from the sugar company
asks that the outlet be changed from
the original plans and that the sew
er be constructed across a part of
the company property instead of
along city property as intended. II
was stated that as first planned the
sewer would open within five feet OF
pumps used at the factory and that
while perhaps no direct harm would
result to the product of the plant,
it would be annoying and harmful
to have the sewer SO close at hand.
Another plan has been suggested
which will cause the sewer to open
500 feet from the factory pumps,
this required the crossing of the fac
tory property and the building OF
eighty additional feet of sewer. It
was finally decided that If the sugar
company would agree to cover dam.
ages and increased expense up tc
s1,35O the change would be made
The company has been notified tc
this effect.

MODERN HOUSES
ARE MOST in
DEMAND

What kind of residences are the
most in demand in Greeley and what
do they indicate?
The answer to this question is,
the $1,000 and $4,000 modern cot
tage is perhaps the most in demand
and the cheaper $1,000 to $4,000
cottage can hardly find sale. which
shows that home buyers are gen.
orally more prosperous here than in
other cities.
During the past year many $4,000
to S12, 900 houses have been erected.
but the bungalow of unique type is
the most favored. Many more hous-
es would have been built during the
present season if skilled labor could
have been secured. With great
amount of building going on in the
business district, the plans for many
homes have been postponed until
later in the year or until next year.
1t is generally conceded by real
estate agents that the best sort or
an Investment at the present time is
a modern bungalow for rental pur-
poses.

NEW SPRAYING DEVICE IS wos,r
EFFECTIVE
BARBED WIRE STOPS Them
Farmers IN LaGrange District Are
Fighting Small Crop Destroyers
ana curious Freak Is Noted
In the Habits of the
Worms

A. w. Atkinson of the IaGranpe
district mas succeeded in getting rid
OF the worms that were threatening
to devastate his twenty-one acres
of beets by use of a sprayer. The
machine. which is drawn by two
horses, covers four rows at a time
and the usual Paris green solution is
used. BY use of the sprayer, the
plants and worms are so thoroughly
drenched with the poison that the
insects are practically all killed. Mr..
Atkinson CHANGED on this device in
the very nick of time as the worms
had made considerable headway on
the crop.
The result is that everybody in
this neiehborhood is trying to rent
the machine and Mr.. Atkinson has
1t promised for days ahead.
The worms continue to reign iu
other sections of the country and the
farmers are fighting them with Paris
green, although not effectually. At
I.aSalle there is shortage of the
poison and one farmer has sent as
far east as Kansas City for it.
A curious freak anent the habits
and tastes of the worm is reported
from ranch in the Big Bend coun-
try. TIL worms were thick on one
farmers field of beets and were eat
ing their way steadily across toward
a neighboring field of beets. Only q
barbed wire fence separated the two
places and it seemed as though moth
ing could save field No. 2. However
when the worms got within foot
OF the barbed wire fence they turned
and worked back over the way they
had come. For several days the
owner OF the second field has ex
pected every morning to find then
across the boundary line and in hi!
own field; but so far they have re
spected the fence and remained OF
their own side.

find GOLD Mine
IN CHICKEN FARM
PROFITS ARE REALLY AMAZING
Just One Hundred Chickens on Ranch
Are Paying Well

The John Hendersons of the Clip
son district have struck the golden
mine of chicken raising with money
results that are fairly staggering.
And what they have done could be
duplicated on every ranch in the
county. They keep about 100 chick
ems in the flock and while the breed
silver-laced Wyandottes, is Kept
pure they do not bother their heaas
about raising expensive and mostly
unproftable birds for the SHOW
bench. On the other hand the birds
receive excellent care, good housing
the right kind of food and the re-
suit is an average of forty or hfty
eggs a day through the year Add
TO this the sum derived from the sale
of broilers and culls and 1t is easy
to see where there is good money
in chicken raising.

BOYD LAKE WATER FOR

that the farmers about the Empire
reservoir need not worry. Sanborn
owns Boyd lake, which is four miles
long and one mile wide. with an es-
timated capacity of 1,5OO, 100000
cubic feet. He placed this vast body
of water at the disposal of the AZ
flicted farmers. He can deliver it
through either the Poudre or the

1t is possible that the farmers will
not be forced to avail themselves of

School Children Badly Burned.

While 200 school children were watch
ing the shooting of an oil well near the
high school building in the city of Brad
ford Friday afternoon a terrible explosion
of natural gas seriously injured % of the
pupils, some of whom, it is feared, fatal
ly. After the shot was over a large num-
Der of the children rushed up to the we'll
to gather up the stones thrown up from
far below the surface. The shot broke
into a pocket o fgas and the inflammable
fluid poured out of the casing in a great
volume. The engine with which the well
was drilled was standing some distance
away and the gas reached the shoulder
ing Goals in the fire box. Instantly the
air seemed filled with fire and then the
cries of the scared and burned children
told those who stood near that an awful
accident had happened. Among the
most seriously burned was Clare Sager, a
son of Rev. A. T. Sager, a former Free
Methodist minister of Tionesta. The lad
was taken to the hospital along with three
other badly injured children all of whom
