the most careless or most obstinate to

cool. He could not have heard of our

Penalty for Army Desertion.

.rt St. Louis Republic.
To leave the army Hfter enlistment is of
course a much more serious violation Of
obligation than to refuse to execute q
contract for personal service in civil life
but the belief OF some War department
officers that present penalties for desertion
in time Of peace are too severe is probably
well founded. The moral quality involved
is small and to mitigate the punishment
will be wise.

DEATHS.

Early last Monday morning even
whilst the dark shades OF night
were slowly giving place to the
radiant flushes of the dawn, the
nome of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Jar
rett was visited by the Angel of
Death, who gathered unto Himself
their dearly loved infant son,
Thomas William, after an illness
extending put a little over twenty
four hours. Little Tom" as the
child was affectionately called had
seen but seventeen months of this
earthly light but was of an exceed
ingly bright disposition and lovable
nature, and has left behind him in
many hearts a sad and aching void
that can only be effaced by the
softening influences of Time. The
sorrowing parents have the heart
felt sympathy of this community in
this their sad affliction.

Ships First Car Potatoes.

Olathe is off in the lead again as
the potato capital of the western
slope. the first car of potatoes be-
ing shipped from this point on
Wednesday of this week. The po-
tatoes were grown by Archie H.
Roatcap of California mesa, and
were consigned to Pueblo by II. b.
King.
Mr.. Roatcap received two cents
pound for the entire car. which
is the highest price paid in several
years and one which makes the
farmers study the automobile cat
alogues. These potatoes were a
little extra early but by next week
number of cars will be shipped.
The potato crop here is by far
the largest in the history of Olathe
and from present indications the
price throughout the season will
be record-breaker, all of which
means that we have before us the
most prosperous year on record
Criterion.

Claims it Takes 10000 Flies
To Make One Single Ounce

Through the enterprise of a
Pueblo firm. it has been learned
exactly how many flies it requires
to weigh an ounce.
AS result of a competition in
fly killing in Pueblo, it has been
ascertained that 5000 dead flies
weigh half an ounce, which makes
10000 flies to the ounce.
Another result of the contest,
which was for prizes has been the
determination of 100000 flies. If
one fly is responsible for so flies
every season, which statistics re
late, Pueblo can thank the compel
itors in this fly killing competition
for just 330,00O,000 less flies next

Pure Drinking Water.

The following is a method for
destroying disease germs in drink
ing water; A teaspoonful of chic
ride of lime, leveled off with
pencil, is rubbed up in a cupful of
water. This should be diluted with
three cupfuls of water and a tea
spoonful Is added to a two-gallon
pailful of the water to be purified,
mixing it thoroughly. This will
give between four and five parts of
free chlorine in a million parts of
water which will destroy in ten
minutes all typhoid and cholera ba-
cilli and dysentery producing germs
at the same time leaving the water
without taste or odor. This has
been tried and found effectual,
when used in germ-laden water. A
very small bottle of this might be
taken when travelling or in camp
and added to any doubtful drink
ing water in the proportions given.

their orders are out for over 1907
900 more. This, with the ship
