/ ExALf dCiS ltOut d lGlleT- we are
never young but once and we are dead
one long time, SO give to the world
the best you have and the best will
come back to you.
( A business man who had received
an application from young man for
certain position. wrote to one OF the
references given and asked concern
Ing the young mans ability and hab-
| It's. This is the answer received: "Mr.
A. Nonymous is fine fellow. quite
capable, but he is just as fine drunk
ard" Mr.. A. N. did not get the job.
! Sterling Price Moore says: In
business play no favorites. Treat ev-
eryman courteously. considerably.
and well. Cater only to the trade of
full grown men who understand and
appreciate the best treatment. Avoid
trouble by all means. II you see that
man is trying to make trouble in
your store quietly tell him that his
presence is not desired. Trouble and
playing favorites cause more loss of
business than do anything else"
s. H. McLain says: This is the
hardest fall that we have had for the
apple crop. 1t has been too warm
and apples won't keep in warm
weather. When the apple growers
took down their Jonathsns the days
were so warm that the apples almost
rotted before they could pack them.
Mr.. R. H. Troutman had SO many ap-
pies that he could not pick them all
during those warm days before the
snow storm and frost, and he thought
those left on the trees would be
total loss. To his surprise, however,
they were in excellent condition and
were some of the finest apples sent
out of the valley this fall. Four years
ago the majority OF the growers left
their apples on the trees until late to
get the advantage of a frost They
got freeze out" instead and lost
their whole crop. Il is quite hard
to tell when TO pick and when not
to pick in this climate.
Two women met Captain Mingay
on the street the other evening. As
they stopped him they said. Captain,
we have already decided upon our
Thanksgiving dinner
Well. what are you going to have
Bacon"
Bacon"
Yes. sir. bacon. Its only forty
cents pound"
While in conversation this morning.
X G. HemphiIl, government irriga-
tion engineer. stated: The govern
ment experiment stations both at this
place and Rocky Ford have been un-
usually successful this year. At
Rocky Ford we have given the ranch
over to sugar beets solely and our eS-l
perience this year has shown that
you must grub and sweat with the
beet crop the same as with any other.
Beets are very hard on the soil and
where grown steadily year after year
they soon wear out the productive
ness of the soil. II usually takes
4 about three years to make the
ground worthless where beets are
grown with no regard to the care of
the soil. Where scientific methods
are used. however and the soil is
properly fertilized and treated 1t will
grow beets abundantly for an indefin-
ite period. This we have found out
through our own experiments. Land
ago sold for twenty dollars or less
now. after having produced one or
two crops OF beets. sells for from one
hundred and nfty dollars to two
hundred dollars an acre. From this
fact you can see that there is no
doubt but what beet growing in
creases the value of the land.
Today when B. NJ McShane. of Oro
Junta was in town, he told us that
the Russell precinct, although 1t had
gone nearly all Democratic. pulled
even for Harry Maddox. Its a funny |
thing" he said. Harry Maddox and
came from the same town but 1 never |
knew II until was reading a cam
paign letter in the Record some time
ago. Yes. sir. Harry and come from
Paola, Kansas. We were both born
there. yet l never knew that AS
soon as l found that we were old |
townsmen l rushed out and did a lit |
