1T IS THE PLACE

We moved to town four months ago
Where to buy our meat we did not
know.
But a friend stated to us the case
By saying "Stauffer's is the place"
For this information ! was real glad.
So were the children and grandad.
/ hurried up like in a race
And soon was at Stauffer's place.
Everything so nice and neat.
That without ado | bought my meat
Just then in came Mrs. Jones, red in
the face,
Who said, how I hurried to get to
this place"
And as we talked and looked around
A great many nice things we found.
And we. with others, agreed face to
face
Nothing like this; Stauffer's is the
place.
Then IN came Mrs, Nelson and Mrs.
Roc,
Mrs. johnson. Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Cole,
in a row.
When all said that at this pace
Stauffcd's was the business place.
They sell to ali, rich and poor,
They all seem delighted. that is sure
Some in calico. some in lace.
They all speak ont for Stauffer' 5
place.
Their meats are all good as meats
could be
To be convinced, just go and see
II YOU are inclined to say Grace.
You will. after buying meats at Stut-
fer's place.

To The Public.

Since there has gone out such an
erroneous statement concerning GER
tain returns of a certain ninety-six
cars of cantaloupes shipped and sold
by our distributors (Crutchheld and
Voolfolk of Pittsburg)' and since this
statement does cast reflection on the
distributing and selling ability of
Crutch6eld & Voolfolk, and in turn
casts the same reflection on the bus
mess ability of your board of direct
ors, we believe that as a matter of
cerned, that it is necessary that we
give you the correct figures as they
appear on the association books.
The statement went out that we
had only received on this particular
o6 cars an average OF $I.3I per car or
about SI25.75 for the whole 90 cars,
which is positively untrue and mis-
leading. We did not ship single
Standard or Jumbo crate without
there was in the hand of the associa-
tion so cents per crate in advance.
And this SI.3I per car is above the
advance of so per cent per crate after
all expenses were paid.
Your association did actually re-
ceive for these 90 cars an average OF
about SI4I.66 I-3 per car or SI3,-
5oo.75 for the o6 cars. The above hg-
ures are taken from the book of the
association. Now we would be only
too glad to show these figures to any
interested party or parties. And
since we do know the conditions OF
the eastern market we believe our
crop was marketed to the very best
advantage by Our distributors. II
we thought it otherwise we would not
have given them our contract for the
handling of our 1910 crop. which
was signed up by your board and
them at Our meeting December 81,
1909. . -.
Trusting that the above will be suf-
ficient to set at rest any misunder-
standing that has heretofore existed
We are yours to serve.

"Ole Olson," blonde of hair, ruddy
of cheeks. ingenious as to manner.
unsophisticated in worldly ways. but
honest to the core, and willing to in
cur any danger in behalf of his
friends and the triumph of right. is
one of the few stage characters that
have retained their popularity despite
the ever-changing tastes Of the thea
tre-going public. Like rip Van
Winkle." "Uncle Joshua Whitcomb''
and Nathaniel Berry" in "Shore
Acres" "Ole" pursues the even ten
or of his way, delighting his aud
fences and CARRYING with him an at
mosphere of honestly. homely and
wholesome naturalness, worth inf
nitely more than the sham bravado
of romantic heroes and the fippant
cynicism of drawing room charac-
tiers in problem plays. This explains
why "Ole" lives and lasts, and is al
so tribute to the good sense and
wholesome instincts OF the great
mass of theatre-goers. "Olc" will be

Warning.

To the Citizens Of Rocky Ford:
BY the failure of the Artesian wells the
city is forced to use ditch water in the
municipal system. This is Of course un-
fortunate, but it is the only thing left to
do. Meanwhile.l and until the wells are
made useful again. or other source Of
water tobtained, all the water used for
drinking should be boiled. Also the water
used for dish washing. etc., should be
boiled lbefore using. Also sterilze the
utensils: in.which the water is to stand.
To sterize means to,clean the pail. bot
tie or jar. thoroughly with soap and water
and then splaee..it t.he pail, bottle or jar)
in boiling water. and! boil for thirty min
utes.
To place: boiled or distilled water in
filthy utensils lis useless. Disease germs
reproduce themselves SO rapidly that a
few in thel bottom Of aspail will make
millions in a few hours. even though
boiled water be:pu into. the pail. Boil
the water. but clean and boil also the
utensil in which.t is to stand.

LAND AT AUCTION.
UnaIlOtted Portion of Indian Territory
to Go Under the Hammer.

Washington, Oct. 25.-An the unal-
lotted lands of the five civilized tribes
of Indians in Oklahoma. approximate
ing 1,650,O00 acres. and the forested
area in the Choctaw nation. amount
ing to about 1,365.000 acres, are to be
sold at public auction, according to a
decision reached by the secretary of
the interior.
The decision to sell these Indian
lands came as a result of the recent
visit of Secretary BaIlinger and Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Valentine
to Oklahoma; a study of the status of
the property rights of the Five Civ
ilized tribes and conferences with
President Taft.
Regulations have been promulgated
and the lands now are being adver-
tised for sale at public auction. They
viii be sold by counties continuously
from November 81, 1910, to March 1,
1911. The total amount to be sold I'M
der this decision is approximately
1,650,000 acres, divided as follows:
Seminole nation, 3,460 acres, divid-
ed Into 10 tracts; Greek and Cherokee
nations, 114,000 acres, in 1000 tracts,
and Choctaw and Chickasaw nations,
100000 acres, in 10000 tracts.
The minimum price which will be
accepted is declared in each advertise
ment, and terms call for 25 per cent
at time of sale, 20 per cent in six
months and so per cent within Is
months, with interest at per cent.
The sale of the forested area of the
Choctaw nation will take place later,
it being necessary to make a new ap-
praisement.
Under the law. these lands. which
aggregate about 1,365,000 acres will
not be sold in tracts larger than GAO
acres each.
The department will not be able to
close up all the tribe lands of the
Five Civilized tribes until congress
makes provision for the sale of the
coal and asphalt lands covered by
what are known as the segregated
lands, as well as to make provision
for the disposition of the coal deposits
These lands amount to about 200
acres, inclusive of the leased area
Congress will be asked at the next
session to give the department this
authority. according to the interior de-
partment.

EASY FOR ATTELL
His Fight With Kilbane Some
thing of a Farce.
CIeveIander Wouldn't Stand Up
and Box.
KEPT ON THE RUN.
Champion Put Arms Down and
Invited Him to "COme In"
Teddy Peppers Is to Have the
Next Chance.

Kansas City, Oct. 25.-Abe Attell
won decision over Johnny kilbane,
of Cleveland, o., after 10 rounds OF
fighting here last night. The cham
pion's title never was in danger. He
certainly is a jumping jack" com
mented Attell after the fight, and that
remark tells the story of the battle
about as we'll as it can be told.
Kilbane, with the exception or the
eighth round, was on the retreat At
tell continued to follow his opponent
about the ring, hoping to get near
enough to him to land. But the
champion usually had to get the Cleve-
lander in corner before he could
put in telling punches.
Attell directed the majority or ms
blows for the wind, but he drove home
enough choppy 1efts and rights to
Kilbane's head to bruise the fighter
much. There was no blood drawn by
either man.
In the eighth round Kilbane braced
himself against the champions rushes
and managed to drive several rights
to Attell's jaw. This encouraged the
featherweight king, he thinking Kill
bane intended to mix. At the Begin
ming of the next round Attell dropped
his arms and asked Kilbane to come
in, but the Clevelander was wary and
stayed away.
Teddy Peppers and Attell posted a
$500 forfeit at the ringside for a light
for the title.

this road will be started as soon as the
locating work can be done and formal
approval given it by the government.
This line was started a few years ago
by the Mexican Central railroad and
about twenty-five miles of track laid,
but when that road passed into the
hands of the National Railways of
Mexico work was suspended.
This proposed line between Tampico
and the capital is to be a link in the
new through route from Brownsville,
Tex, on the Rio Grande border. 1t is
said that it has not yet been fully de-
termined whether the proposed line be-
tween Brownsville and Tampico will be
built by the Frisco or the National
Railways of Mexico. The matter is to
be considered at a conference in the
City of Mexico between officials of the
Frisco and the National Railways OF
Mexico,
