Looking for Land

S. d. Heady, who was here some
weeks ago, is again In town, having
since his departure been In Pueblo,
Kansas and other points. Mr.. Heady
Is looking for an Investment In real
estate and we understand that he has
about concluded to locate some land
near Verona in Kit Carson county.
We believe that Mr.. Heady could do
better right here In Crowley county,
but OF course we can't get every body
to locate here, else we'd be too
crowded. Anyhow, it's a comfort to
know that such an enterprising citi-
zen Is to be located so near us and we
may lure him back In Ordway yet.
Mr. Heady has brother, II. A. Heady,
who lives in Paducah, KY. and Is a
leading merchant In the clothing
business In that enterprisiEg and pro.
gressive town In the land of fast
horses, handsome women and internal
revenue receipts.

Who Pays the Freight

A Denver livestock man In recent
Interview said: Gr
"a steer on foot doesn't bring any
more than 1t did twenty years ago,
Il IL :act.- a sood avo-aga fat 3teol
was worth $50 any time and that's all
IL brings today. Now the packer must
have some profit. He generally gets
about 81 a head and then lie has the
hide and all that and he Is satisfied.
We will say that the steer dressed
weighs 100 pounds. The packer prob.
ably pays 8 cents a pound for the beef
and we will say that he sells to the
wholesaler at 10 cents pound. The
wholesaler does mt make so very much.
He sells ut, we'll say. II cents pound
to the retail dealer.
"The retail dealer Is the man who
Is up against IT hard. Let us say that
his meat cutter and handy man costs
him SO month-the man cutting up
four beevcs weekly. which, however.
few do. He must pay on an average,
$40 month shop rent. His horse,
used to deliver the meat, costs him
800 month: his delivery boy must be
paid s25 n month.
ave will say that he Is man OF
average family, consisting OF himself
and wife and two children. 1t costs
him at the lowest calculation S32 a
month to feed the family. His ice
will cost him on the average Sl.5O per
day, or roughly speaking, si5 Il month.
To sum it up, his expenses are 1852
per month.
"Now, to break even on this and
make bare expenses, he must make
SIS Is on each steer. This does not
account for clothing, school books,
fuel, light, car fare and other expenses
which bring the sum OF his necessary
profit up to about $40 on each steer
just to live. mind you, with nothing
laid up Therefore, In order to make
anything for himself-lay up even as
little as $50 month, the retailer
must charge from % cents to 35 cents
Il pound for his steaks and prices
graded downward on a similar scale
for the rougher products.
That's a plain case Of figures. But
suppose the wholesaler butchcrcd his
own meat. Why, with afty cutters
he could dispose OF more meat in n
day than 500 of the retailers do and
his expense would be in all about l2
cents a pound on the average, so that
with plenty of retail depots the
wholesalers could supply rybody
at Il cost, believe, of about from IS
cents to 90 cents for the choicest cuts
and Of cents and 6 cents for the
rough meats"

County Fair

The Crowley County Fair associa-
tion has been incorporated and an ef-
fort Is to be made to pull OIL this
event In connection. with the Sugar
day celebration in Sugar City on Octo-
Der l3. We hope that all parts OF the
county will join hands in this matter
and endeavor to make creditable
showing for the first time. The New
Era will give further particulars later.
In the meantime we wish to say that
the enterprise has our most enthusias-
tic endorsement, as has any move
ment for the betterment and advance
ment OF the county or state.

Last Sunday for the first time on
: the Ordway diamond, u visiting team
walked Off the grounds and forfeited
the game 0 to 0 because of an alleged
unfair decision on the part of the UNI
pire. When we state that this official
was Fred Rohl OF this city, little more
needs be said to show that the visit
ors were in error.
The Swinks came over last Sunday
to play the locals and the fans looked
forward to seeing bang-up good game,
as they have been giving their oppo-
nents plenty to do whenever they
crossed bats. The first inning was a
balloon ascension for the visitors, the
Ordway boys grabbing off 1--we scores.
Later in the game the score began to
even up and when the seventh was
half over the Swinks had the better
OF the argument. In the last half,
while Ordway was at bat, NJ. Wells
was on first, with Coffecn handling
the stick. Colleen made short
drive to third base, Wells pranced
over TO second, stole third and Colleen
landed o. X. on the initial bag. The
Swink captain at once protested the
ball, claiming that 1t had landed in
foul territory. The umpire called
Fair ball." and while the wranglc
was still In progress and the ball was
still ''in play" Wells stole home
The Swink team Immediately came in
from the field and the umpire gave
them three minutes to resume the
game, falling In which he declared the
game forfeited to Ordway 8 too.
Rohl is an unusually fair umpire and
his decisions have almost invariably
given satisfaction. Just before the
squabble one of the Swink players re.

Planting Cherry Trees

G. A. Rodell, OF 500 West Abriendo
street, Pueblo, the well known nur-
seryman, sends the New Era the fol-
lowing. which will be Of interest and
value to our readers:
I promised you would give you
a few remarks on planting cherry
trees In adobe ground and herewith
submit you the following:
''All those who contemplate plant
ing cherry trees 10 adobe ground will
find they can reduce their loss to a
minimum by useing pailful OF sand
to each tree when set. When the
hole is dug ready to receive the tree.
set the tree in position, then pour n
large pailful OF sand over the roots
and hll In with soil as usual. The
reason SO many trees are lost Is be-
cause the adobe soil Is too cold to
start the life in cherry tree. You
will find the sand will furnish the
necessary heat for bringing trees to
growth. l have experimental with
the use or sand In adobe soil In the
San Luis valley and find II nlls the
requirements there. Below l give
you Il recipe OF a wash for trees that
l believe will be OF benefit for any
one to use. Very truly yours.

BIG SUGAR DAY
The Famous Cow Boy Band
of Pueblo to Furnish the
Music for Sugar City
Anti-Hoodoo Day

The last issue of the Sugar City Ga.
zette contained the following particu-
lars concerning the celebration OF
Sugar day, which has been fixed for
Friday, October 10. AS we previous
ly remarked, the SugarItes evidently
are not superstitious nor inclined to
give much weight to the maliRn in
tluence OF the hoodoo.
We would suggest that our neigh.
boring city made most creditable
display In the industrial parade on
Crowley County day, to say nothing
Of almost depopulating the town by
Its attendance here, 1t would only be
the graceful thing, to say nothing OF
good business policy, for Ordway to
reciprocate In kind on Sugar day.
Let US go over en- masse and take
along number of floats advertising
our business houses. and show our
neighbors that while they have plenty
OF ''git up and git" we are running
neck and neck with them.
Following Is the Gazett's article
regarding the day:
The music committee has been sue.
cessful 10 securing the famous Cow
boy band Of Pueblo for the great cele.
bration. This means that there will
be something doing all day In the mu-
sic line. The advertising committee
has ordered 1000 buttons, advertis-
Ing Sugar Day, which will be given
away at the neigboring fairs and to
visitors.
Superintendent Mitchell OF our high
school will be judge OF Juvenile events
on Main street, which will consist OF
free for all boys foot race, IL years
old and under, 5Oyard dash.
One hundred yard dash for boys l5
years and under.
Fifty yard dash for girls, free for
all. any age. ...
Free for all bicycle race for boys.
Free for all sack race.
| Free for all three.legged race.
These events will start at l o'clock
on Main street and suitable prizes
VIII be given the winners.
At l o'clock at the race track the
following program will start: Music.
Cow boy relay race, prize $40. Must
have three starters.
Ladies' Onc-half mile dash, prize $40.
Free for all One-half mile dash, $40.

Judges OF these events will be an
nounccd later.
There will be grand stand erected
at the race track for that day.
The full order Of the day will be pub.
lished later. This will include u par
adc of floats, headed by the band
through the principal streets and end
Ing at the factory, where all desiring
will be shown through the sugar
factory and Bcggs' live stock yards.
Every body is asked to have float
in the parade. This means you. You
have six weeks to design one. The
committee wants this to be IA success.
and will help those who will ask for
hints, as to getting up float. That
everybody will help with the decorat-
ing by fixing their own place of busi
ness. That the advertising commit
tee will do the advertising, but we
want every individual to be a com
mittec of one and advertise In their
own way.
That the entertainment committee
will have something doing in an all
day vaudeville show afternoon and
evening.

In the afternoon until you are ready
to quit in the night, besides all the
other attractions that will come in.

Take stone lime slake and prepare
as for ordinary whitewash, in an old
barrel or box. Take enough at a time
to make bucket two-thirds full of
the consistency for whitewashing.
Now add one pint of gas tar, one pound
of whale oil soap dissolved In hot wat
er, Tor one pound of common soft soap,
or one pound Of potash, or one pint of
strong lyc from wood ashes.) then add
clay OF loan enough to make the
bucket full of the wash Of the proper
thickness to be applied with white
wash brush. II the trees have had
the earth ridged up around them, TAXI G
the earth away from around the collar
and apply the wash to the body of the
trees from the limbs to the ground
or down to the roots
Its advantages are: First-It will
destroy the bark louise and will give
the trees bright, clean, healthy ap-
pcarance. Second-The wash will
drive out all borers that may be in
trees, and moth will not deposit eggs
on or about the trees the same season
the wash Is used.
All who grow apple, peach, dwarf
pear, ounce or ash trees should use
this wash; don't fail to use it because
not patented and sold at high price.
We have known places where peach
trees have been badly affected by the
borer and they have all left and the
trees become healthy and vigorous
with one application of the wash.
Again, mice and rabbits will not
girdle trees where the wash is used.
Apply In May for borers and general
benefit to the trees, and in Autumn
as preventative against mice and
rabbits. Use the wash annually. Gas
tar applied pure will kill the trees.

He Wouldn't Advertise

Breathes there man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said:
'Gee! but my trade is getting bad;
I'll try another ten-inch ada
If such there be. go mark him well;
For him no bank account will swell;
No angels watch the golden stair;
To welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or ad displayed.
Cares more for rest than worldly gain
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly friends. let no rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound;
Here let him live in calm repose.
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies go plant him Deep
That naught may break his dreamless sleep;
Where no rude clamor may dispel,
The quiet that he loved so well.
And that the world may know it's loss.
Place on his grave wreath of moss,
And on the stone above. Here lies
A chump who would mt ADVERTISE"

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW
THE MARKET HAS BEEN UNSET
TIED AND MORE OR LESS DE
DRESSED FOR A VARIETY OF
REASONS.
1By the Associated Press)

New York. Feb. 24.-It has been
an unsettled and more or less depress-
ed market for a variety Of cases, nota-
hlv the Scott anti-option bill and the
fear that if passed it would result in
grave injury to the cotton trade of the
country whatever the faults in the
present system, the break in the Lon
don stock markets, the existing big
stocks, rarely eQualled at this time OF
the year; continued large receipts. the
reported dullness Of spot markets, toe
sluggishness of the trade in cloths. in
yarns even at some decline in price and
hnally the fall OF cop.ous rains over
much of the vast area of Texas. New
Eneland mill shares have been weak
owing to unsatisfactory condition Ok
the cotton goods trade.
Some New England mills are cur
failing production. Spinners purchase
sparingly. Next crop months are at
a noteworthy discount. All the indi-
cations point to very large acreage
at the south. Though cold weather
for some days past has retarded field
work in parts of the cotton belt, the
spring preparations are reported TO he
we'll forward while some cotton has
actually been planted in parts Of Texas
There has been a good deal Of liGui-
datiOn here for local, Southern and
Wall Street account. Liverpool and
the continent have sent selling orders.
Though Liverpool's spot sales have oc-
casionaliy risen to $4,000 bales in
day they have at other times fallen to
a very small total. Spots and spin
ners have bought freely here. On Fri
day March notices for some 75,O0d
bales were issued and although they
caused some depression Of the market
each time was attended with some
strength. Col. Thompson is said to
have stopped most Of the notices. 1t is
predicted that the movement OF the
crop will shortly fall off decisively. The
exports have been large. Spinners'
takings have made a good exhibit. AS
general trade in this country shows
tendency to improve it is argued that
the Textile industries, including cotton.
are bound to share sooner or later in
the better state Of things. AT times,
too, it has been clear enough that the
short side has been overdone, and COW
ering has caused noticeable rallies.
Speculation, however, has in the main.
been uiet. The great bulk Of the trade
are awaiting further developm ents. As
regards the future crop, the move
ment Of the last crop and the course
