Judge Bradfield who enters the

DR.. SAWYER COMES
AT LAST MOMENT
TEIEGRAPHED FROM CHICAGO
Sent by Secretary Wilson to Lecture
on Denatured Alcohol.

| AT n late hour last evening Sec
retary C. l.. Fitch of the Weld Coun-
tv Farmers club received telegram
from DR.. Sawyer from Chicago say
ing that he would be here to address
the farmers at the Institute next Fri
dav and Saturday. DR., Sawyer IS
sent out from Washington by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson. to lee
ture on the manufacture of denatured
alcohol from Gull potatoes. He
claims that more money can be OBJ
tained from the waste spuds in this
manner than in the manufacture Of
anv other product. He will give a
minute description of the manufac-
ture, the cost of the plant and the
quantity and value that can be pro-
duced from given amount Of spuds.
All of the Greeley capitalists
should be on hand to hear this lee
ture. 1t is probable that such an
institution could be added to the To-
cal starch factory where power is
already established. The Commercial
Club will no doubt investigate the
proposition.
Secretary Fitch also announces
that nine out of ten samples of spuds
from the ten different potato sec
tions Of the nation have arrived.
Each sample contains a half bushel
and will be of great interest to the
farmers and commission men of this
section.
The following states will be repre-
Maine, New York, Wiscon-
sin. Michigan. Illinois, Iowa, Colo
RADIO. Idaho, California and Oregon.
Secretary McCreery of the CONNER
,ial Club would like to hear from
some OF our city people who have
good milk cows. They don't have

BY Mr.. Gregg will be much more in
;tructive if he has large number
from which to draw comparisons.

VIII Not He Changed.
A few days ago the Tribune pub
lished a letter from the trafnc man
ager OF the Southern Pacific in re-
gard to reduction of freight rates
from California to Texas points. The
communication stated that no reduc-
ton OF rates had been asked for It
seems that some days later the Boyle
Commission company wrote for in
formation on the same subject to j.
C. Stubbs of Chicago. who Is Harri-
mans assistant, and adjusts all con-
troversies for Harriman's lines, of
which the Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific are parts. The letter explains
itself and verifies the former state
ment of the Tribune that there will
be no reduction In California rates,
although an application for reduc-
tion has since been made. The letter
follows:

AND SISTER DIVORCED
Step Brother Married Step sister
But They Couldn't Agree.

Very often q man gets a divorce
from his wife but 1t is seiuom "
man is divorced from his wife anu
sister. Chester Bradbury had TINS
novel experience yesterday Wheh
Judge Bradfield separated him from
his wife, Mamie, but who still re-
mains his sister. Some years ago
Mrs Bradbury married Mr.. Gordon
both well known and respectable pe'-
pie of Greeley. Mrs. Bradbury mad
n son named Chester, and Mr.. Cor
don had a daughter named Mamie
who of course became step-brother
and sister. The marriage OF the chll-
dren followed closely after that OF
the parents and for a time all was
lovely. On two occasions during the
mast wear Mamie has filed papers
asking for divorce but each time
has failed to prosecute them. A few
weeks ago on behalf of the husband
a suit was flied and Mamie was SO
delighted that she waived her 20
davs in which to file an answer ana
them TO hurry it up as she
had no answer coming and antici-
pated the parting with more pleasure
than her brother.
The couple leave two small chill
iren which were placed by the judge
under the protection of the father
when assured that they were being
we'll cared for at the home of their
