RIVERSIDE FARMS COMPANY
IN HANDS OF A RECEIVER

The Riverside Farms company.
owning a ranch of 4s0 acres and
improvements near Masters. in Weld
county, yesterday made n general as
signment in favor. of Attorney Rob-
ert E. Winbourn for the benefit Of
all their creditors. MIR. Winbourn
left Greeley last night to assume
charge OF the place with the view of
settling the outstanding accounts.
The liabilities are about $4,000 and
the assets figured at $2s.000 SO that
1t is expected all OF the outstanding
indebtedness will be paid in full.
The First National bank OF Fort
Collins and Thomas Dinsmore. a
wealthy easterner. are the principal
creditors.
The assignment IL said to be due
chiefly to a lack Of water. which in
turn made impossible the crops fig
ured upon. E. E. Moore, formerly
Of Long Beach. Calf. represented
the company, which acquired the
ranch some three years ago for the
purpose OF developing the hog in
dustry. It Is understood that the
project was backed by Mr.. Dinsmore,
who is said to be a Wall street oper-
ator. The farm was improved with
buildings and bitches. the water to
be provided by the Green City Irriga-
tion district, which, in turn, derived
its supply from the Bijou district.
Moore is said to be protege OF
Dinsmore and took charge of the
property. He made improvements of
buildings. fences and bitches. with
the ultimate idea of making the
place one of the finest hog farms in
the state. Although not successful
in this he developed alfalfa fields
among the finest in Weld county.
It is expected that Mr.. Winbourn
will dispose of all the holdings of
the company for the benefit of the
creditors.

Red Cross Kept Busy

Six big disasters will occur In the
United States in 1911. This is not
the prediction of an astrologer but of
the American Red Cross, the organi-
zation which conducts a larger work
great calamities than any other
agency in the world. Experience has
| led the Red Cross to expect an aver
age of five or six serious disasters
in this country every year. 1t does
not know where or when they will
occur, or whether they will be caused
by storm. or fire, or food, or earth
quake, or explosion. But it is sure
that they will happen, just as one
may be sure that fifteen persons OF
every thousand now living will die
in the next twelve months.
World wide service to humanity
was shown in reports presented at
American Red Cross in Washington
This organization, of which President
Taft is president, is recognized by
the federal government as the offic-
ial channel for the conduct of relief
work wherever in the United States
people suffer from the results of
great calamities. But the Red Cross
does not confine itself to reliet
operations in this country. It's field
is the world.
Experience proves not only that
an average of five or six disasters,
severe enough to call for Red Cross
help, may be expected to occur in
the u. s. every year. but that the de-
mands from other countries may be
expected to be equally numerous.
Some idea of the character and va
riety OF these demands may be gain
ed from the disasters with which the
Red Cross dealt in the last twelve
months. These included. in the
United States, one hurricane. one
mine fire. two mine explosions and
forest fires in Idaho, Montana,
Oregon, Washington and Minnesota;
in foreien countries. relief OF starv-
(, ing CAPTURED soldiers in Nicaragua
| floods in Mexico, France, Servia and
Japan. the Armenian massacres and
the earthquake in Costa Rica.
In the disasters above mentioned
/ which occurred In the United States
/ sos lives were lost, WHILE approxi-
1 mately, $500 persons required inn
mediate assistance. About 5000
] persons lost their homes by FIRE or
hurricane. The money extended by
the Red Cross in these relief opera
tions in the United States was s1o6.-
600, and in foreign countries SEQ
500, total OF s2G2.50O. Other re-
lief funds expended in this country
in conjunction with those OF the Red
Cross and according to Its plans and
methods amounted to $218,0OO.
making the grand total relief exren-
ditures OF the year under Red Cross
leadership $48O,500.

thing had been washed out of the boat
and without oars they were helpless. They
had not a morsel of food for four days
and both sank from exhaustion. When
the schooner bore down on the little dory
April 26 both men were lying in the bot
tom of the boat half unconscious. They
were lifted on board and given every
care. Both are now well on the way to

Looic FOR COLD STORAGE.
Cold Storage Practieed In Egypt In
.., Pharoah's Time.

There is something strikingly analo.
gous between the storehouses which
Joseph. by order of Pharoah, built in
Egypt and the modern cold storage
warehouse. During the seven years of
plenty which prevailed in Egypt, JOS
eph collected what was practically
the surplus crop and put it in the
warehouses to Keep it for the people
for use in time of the famine which
he pfophesied would come BY reason
OF his divinely inspired foresight, when
the seven years of famine came. Egypt
was prepared to meet them. The
modern cold storage warehouse takes
the surplus perishable products and
by storing them in warehouses where
the temperature Is properly regulated
to preserve them. saves them until
the PEOPLE need them. If it were not
for the cold storage warehouse the
perishable products of summer, to a
great extent. would be wasted. and
with the changing of seasons not only
the surplus but the entire supply
would disappear. The natural OPERA
ton of the laws of trade would prompt
those who buy summer products for
storage to buy up. not much, if any.
more than the surplus of summer

Any reading of the English news
papers is sure to extend the vocabu-

faithful to his dictionary. For exam
pie, the word boarding was used in
describing some of the games of the

from the context and then found that
the dictionary describes boarding
as the screen built around materials
