Cedaredge Champion.


hitching when his horse smelled the
blood on his clothes and commenced
trying to get away. Rob caught the
horse by the bit and tried to hold her,
but she reared and fell upon him break
ing three ribs loose from the breast
bone. Mr.. James is getting along
nicely and considers himself lucky that
the accident was not worse.
Monday afternoon while returning
from Austin with a load of salt Ed
Blanchard fell from his wagon with
such force as to break his right leg just
above the knee. He was also hurt
inwardly and some fears are enter
tanned for his recovery. 1t seems he
was not noticing where he was driving
and one wheel missed the culvert just
south of Trickle bridge which caused
the wagon to lurch unexpectedly, thus
throwing both the wagon seat and
occupant out. the team ran short
distance, but soon quieted down and
were walking toward home when
caught. AS Mr.. Blanchard is about SIS
years of age the accident is more seri-
GUS on this account.
The problem of securing help for the
harvesting of the fruit crop this fall is
an all absorbing one among the fruit
growers. Various methods are being
employed to secure pickers and pack
ers. Over at Hotchkiss they have en-
tered into a contract to hire large
force of Japs. Paonia is arranging to
bring people out of the cities during
the fruit season. The plan of securing
Japs we believe should be left to a case
of last resort as they are the least de-
sirable class of labor community can
have. Once they get established there
is no such thing as getting rid of them.
The plan of securing rates and bring
ing people from the large towns would
seem to be little better as it will give
employment to Americans.
