THE BENEFIT BALL

The Odd Fellows benefit ball and
supper given last Saturday evening by
Gl.nwood Lodge No. 6s l. o. o. F. was
a very successful event and much en-
ioyed by all in attendance. The atten'
dance was good. The music was by Rit-
tmayer's orchestra and as usual was
firstclass.
A feature out of the ordinary was
the vocal music furnished by the high
school classes. The male chorus, the fe'
male chorus and the mixed chorus were
carefully interspersed between the
dances and were much enjoyed by tine
audience. The piano solo by Mrs. Mason
was very pleasing.
The supper was all that could be de
sired and in fact all the arrangements
were very satisfactory to all.
The lodge realized from the affai'
about $50 which will be used to assist
the worthy poor.

Colorado is very prosperous. There
is very large emigration into it and
the empounding of the mountain
streams for irrigation is making won
dcrful change. Dry farming has been
a success this year and they claim the
land is producing from thirty to forty
bushels per acre of wheat and oats.
The building of the Moffar road has
opened a new country which is being
rapidly developed and when that line
is extended into Salt Lake City it will
pass through the celebrated Yampa,
Ashley and Uinta valleys. can re-
member when these valleys were uti-
lized winters by the Indians to pro
tcct their stock. Now they are open
for settlement and only need railroads
to develop them the same as the val
leys along the Colorado Midland, Colo
RADIO & Southern and the Rio Grande
railroads. Along the Moffat road.
there are celebrated springs, such as
the Steamboat springs, which are just
being developed. There are eight or
ten springs of different waters Of diff
ferent temperatures and I was inform
ed by parties who knew, that in Colo
RADIO alone. there is duplicate of
every known spring in Europe and hav-
ing the same analysis of its waters.
in Colorado the flow from the springs
is even greater than the springs in
Europe and the day is not far distant
when the development of that country
and the Accommodations to take care of
the people is equal to that of Europe
and when the mountain roads are made
as fine as those of Europe, that our
population will turn that way to spend
its summer outings. AS ! came through
Nebraska, noticed the hay ana wheit
crops were very large. The corn in the
western part of the state seems to be
prematurcly cured. In the eastern part
it stands well and is still green. I
also noticed that farmers We're putting
in large acreage of winter wheat. The
stacks of wheat standing in the fiel1s
from this years crop show that il
must have been a good crop and they
are going to make it even larger for
1910.

have purchased a beautiful standard
bred stallion, Gam Hal 0l3l4, foaled
in 1905 by Gambetta Wilkes and hav'
ing a string of ancestors who step right
around the two minute mark.
This animal is perfect picture and
he has fine action and although he has
not been trained on the track h. gives
every evidence of speed to match mis-
splendid breeding.

In the lead...Miss Doll Second

The big Post contest is now on in
full force and the contestants are the
busiest people in the country as they
are soliciting their friends for votes
on every corner. No wonder the young
ladies are working hard for they can
well afford it in view of the valuable
prizes We are offering to the winners.
But We cannot say who these winners
shall be. No one can answer that eN-
cept the young ladies themselves. One
thing is sure and that is that they
must work and work very hard from
now to the close of the contest if they
expect to win.
They must not sit down and expect
the votes to come to them or they will
be disappointed. 1t will take all tho
effort which the contestants themselves
and all their friends can muster if they
would win the goal. But it is worth all
the effort. At least that is what every

The theory is advanced that the
young man was drugged, and then shot
with his own pistol to conceal the
crime. An autopsy will be held. No
robbery was committed, as his money,
watch and ring were found on the
body.
Ray Wcidenhammer grew to manhood

Glcnwood was shocked by the report
that Ray Weidenhammer. son of Mr..
and Mrs C. H. Weidenhammer of this
city, had been found dead in the city
park at Fort Worth. Texas. The tele-
gram was meager and contained only
this information and left all else to
conjecture.
Although Mr.. Weidenhanmer tele-
graphed the authorities and his son 3
employers, no definite word has as yet
been received concerning the unfortu-
nate affair.
The most definite information thus
far received comes in the following
special to the Denver News:
Fort Worth, Texas. Dec. l5.-Ray II.
Weidenhammcr. bookkeeper for the
Farmers and Merchants National
bank of this city, who had been miss
ing since Monday night. was found
dead today by two hunters mile west
of the city, in clump of bushes, with
bullet hole in his head and small
pistol of the Derringer type clutched in
his right hand.
Weidenhammer had been in the en-
ploy of the bank three years, and hrs
accounts are straight. according to
officials. He came here from GlenwooL
Springs, Colo. where his father is said
to be city marshal.
The victim was last seen alive Mon
day night at IL O'Clock, by his room

or in exchange for some work which
the contestants not only do not dislik,
but the most of them positively enjoy
it. True it is a new experience for
them but very pleasant experience
withal. 1t is not for the Post to say
to whom it shall go. 1t is for these
young ladies and their friends to say.
1t all rests with them.
And then there are the other prizes
which are not to be ignored by any
means. What young lady would mo-,
enjoy a trip to Denver with all ex-
penses paid. including railroad rms
portation and Accommodations at the
popular Albany hotel2 This is one Of
the prizes offered to ono lady in each
district. 1t is well worth striving for.
And then how many young ladies'
there are who just covet 4 business
education. They have longed for the
opportunity to go out in the world
and earn their own living and nothing
so fits one for that as business col
lege education in some standard school
which makes specially of training
young folks along business lines. Such
is Hoel's Business college at Grand
Junction in which we have arranged
to give two of our contestants free
scholarships.
OF course not all can win and it is
only those who work and work hard
who can hope to win these valuable
prizes. The Post will venture the as
sertion that those who win these splen.
did prizes will be better paid for their
labor than for any other work they
have ever done. 1t is extra pay and

FARM DRIVEWAYS.
Michigan Farmer Tells How to Mako
Them With Gravel and Cinders.

While we are busily talking about
good roads we must not forget the
most needful one is that which runs
from the gate to the barns and over
which we travel many miles during
the year. At the time l moved to Ma
pleside farm few years ago the mud
was hub deep for the horses and no
better for the men on the footpaths
says d. G. Dean. a Michigan farmer
We moved to Mapleside farm in April
and the women folks did not gc, &C. tn
barns until after the middle of Nav
AS soon as the crops were in those
roads received my undivided attention
until they were in a serviceable con-
dition.
l did not draw in more dirt to soak
up. but began at the bottom by plow-
Ing out and removing over a foot of
the soil. then opened a gravel bank
and drew in enough to fill that taken
out. Next made arrangements for
some cnders and put them over the
gravel about foot thick. This an
swered very well that season, but in
the fall before the mud began to deep
en- covered the road again, and dur
ing the winter all the coal ashes were
spread wherever there seemed to be a
low spot. BY following this scheme
for four years l succeeded in making
road that never has any mud. If
find low spot where water stands
after a rain it is taken care Of at once
On the south side Of the house three
years ago l built road that has not
required any repairing as yet beyond
drawing three loads Of gravel last
spring. For this road pursued lit
tie different method. 1t was old sod,
so rlowed through it and turned the
sod upside down three deep on either
side of the road, then drew out all the
! dirt beneath that was loose and easy
to handle.
This left me trench about eighteen
inches or two feet to FILL which I did
from my gravel bank. and no cinders
were put on this road, as I could not
get them. This roadway is about nine
inches above the lawn on either side
and never gets muddy. About the
house are cement platforms and walks,
while the roadway on either side is so
hard it can be swept Mt any time.

good road and takes no longer.

GOOD ROADS TRADE WINNERS.
Chapman, kans., Has Found Out How
to BRING Farmers to Town.

The Commercial club of Chapman,
Kan, has entered on Il trade bringing
campaign by the good roads route.
After holding several meetings and dis
cussing the problem the members de-
cided that they could do more to bring
farmers to town by giving them good
roads than in any other way. The
reads west and north of the town are
marred By stretches Of sand that have
been severe trial to the farmers haul
ing loads of grain as we'll as TO drivers
Of motor cars.
The Commercial club at its own eX-
pense has placed over the worst parts
of the sand Il coating OF clay brought
from the hills. 1t makes Il solid bed
Il foot to eighteen inches chick and
hGrdeus into Il smooth roadway. BY
this means the roads approaching town
have been much improved and heavy
loads have boon brought with single
teams where it was before impossible.
I'VE desire to make this IL trading
point" explained one OF the merchants.
and it is doing the work. When we
lear the farmers complaining about
the bad roads of some other parts of
East Dickinson county and the rough
streets they encounter, then compli-
ment US on giving them a smooth
roadway to Chapman and on our
streets, which are good for Il country
town. we know they appreciate t. We
believe it has helped us in CIR grain
and stock trade, and it has certainly
been Il satisfaction well worth while"
The farmers Of East Dickinson are
good roads enthusiasts. but they be-
lieve that the use Of the road drag
VIII do mere than any one agency.
Many Of the country roads are dragged
regularly and are models of smooth
ness.

ROLL!MG GOOD FOR ROADS.
Auto Found ServiceabIe In Making
Street Passsble After Shows.


The man who brings together the
best productions in different lines and
obtains results which better his own
production may not be an inventor in
the true sense of the word but he GER
tainly possesses good common sense.
In Vermont and other New England
states road roller is used in the VIM
ter to pack down the snow and make
the roads passable. BY doing this aft
err each snowstorm really fine winter
road results. The method used in up
per New York is to draw two large
iron kettles. such rs are used for the
making of soft soap, behind team of
horses or oxen. This is not very per-
feet. as it leaves q core In the road and
simply pushes the snow to the side Of
the road instead of packing it down.
After Il recent SnOWStOrm in Read
inc. Pa, in which the roads were left
in bad condition. II. l.. Hardy the de-
signer at factory. conceived the idea
of rolling the roads. He attached IN
ordinary land roller to the front of Il
sextuplct ard started from the factory
to the home Of Nh StcrnbcrGh. Natu-
rally he did net try to break any speed
records. but tho trip, about six miles,
was made in one hour.
One Of the road commissioners of
Beris county accompanied him and
was much surprised to see what an
Improvement this roller process was
over the kettle drag. Mr.. Hardy says
hO will not p1tpnt or CODyriTlt this
idea, so any one who desires to roll
snow roads by automobile is free to
try it,
