REAL ECONOMY
IS PRACTlCED
BY THIS Man
Wealthy Farmer Spears Sugar Beets
That Have Dropped From Wa
gons Along Country Roads

If you see man driving along
the country road near Greeley ap-
parently spearing fish from the
dusty roadside, do not judge that
he is insane, for if the truth were
known he has more sense than the
knockers of the community, who
are crying hard times and failing
to practice economy.
This retired farmer lives in Gree
ley but drives daily to his ranch a
few miles out, to oversee the feed
ing of his stock.
The sight of so many sugar beets
which fall from the farmers wagons
and were wasted by being ground
up by the passing vehicles worried
the frugal soul OF the farmer. so he
constructed spear from long
lath with hook on the end, and
as he drives in the morning to his
ranch, he picks up the beets which
have been dropped and arrives at
the ranch with his buggy bed filled
These are used as feed for his
stock and prove to be a saving on
the ranch.

WELD DEPUTY SHER|FFS
ACCUSED Of DISTURBING
PEACE ON BISCUIT DAY
Erie Police Charge That Trio Filled Up On Bad
Whiskey and Started Trouble That Ended
With Arrests And Afusiade of Gun Shots
Citizens Declare That They Will Prosecute
Visitors Who Came From Lafayette

Erie, October 11-One alderman
kicked in the stomach. several gun
shots, plenty of profanity, were the
principal features of small riot
that came in the wake of Biscuit
Day last evening.
Citizens claim the row was start
ed by three men from Lafayette,
named Slater, Houtchens and Ken
nedy, who claim to hold commits
sions as deputy sheriffs from the
sheriff's Office at Greeley. These
men came over to Erie from Lafay-
ette towards evening after the prin-
.cipal festivities of the day were
done, and, 1t Is alleged, filled up on
rather frisky brand of bug-juice,
then started out to create trouble.
Houtchens. say spectators. halted
in from the doll-baby establishment
of a concessioner named Ralph
Braceguilde, and bet the latter that
he could knock three t of four of
the babies for 81. Having made
two throws and missed both. he is
said to have become obstreperous
and started to clean up things, with
the help of his two companions.
When the three were demonstrated
with by the local police they are
said to have taken the local men in
to the city lookup, where other
townsmen later turned them loose.
Matters continued in mild state OF

Will GO EAST
FOR SPUD SEED

Fred Mason, a we'll known farmer
of Weld county, will visit the potato
sections of the east in an effort to
find a quantity of healthy seed of
good varieties for planting in Weld
county next year. Many of the farm
ers in this vicinity are afraid to use
the same seed as this year on ac-
count OF the blight that ruined much
of the spud crop this year They
believe mat seed from another sec
ton Of the country where there has
been a normal crop may prove bet
ter than using their own seed.
Mr. Mason may buy several car
loads OF Wisconsin seed if he finds
the sort wanted.

SCARCITY OF

On account of scarcity OF water
in which to wash the beets, 1t is
said that there is a possibility that
the Eaton Sugar Factory will have
to be closed. In the past years the
water used in washing the beets has
been supplied by seepage d1tch.
Owing to the light rainfall this sea-
son and the scarcity of water in the
district, the water in the ditch is
said to be insufficient to fill the de-
mand 1t is said that every enort
is being made to rent water from
other bitches for the purpose, but
it is feared that 1t will not be pos
sible to secure what is needed.

tically unlimited supply of water,

REPORTS FROM DENVER INDI-
CATE GENERAL RISE.

Potatoes are preparing for
another high jump, canned goods
are soaring, a few vegetables and
fruits are higher than they were last
week, while sugar. butter. eggs and
meats are staying at about the same
level and poultry Is trifle lower.
according to the reports from Den
yer.
Potatoes were bringing $1.70 per
100 pounds at wholesale, but are
expected to reach $1.75, and will
probably be selling at $1.S5 later in
the week-a price more than 35 per
cent above that of a year ago. They
and the price will probably stay up
for a considerable time.
All canned goods are quoted at
an advance, and peas and tomatoes
are so scarce that the canneries re-
port that they do not expect to be
able to make more than a 10 per
cent delivery on their orders or bet
ter than a 20 per cent delivery on
their tomato orders. These two can
med products are about 40 per cent
higher than they were year ago.
Sugar continues to sell at whole
sale for $3.50 for cane and $3.50 for
beet and is retailing at eleven and
twelve pounds for dollar. No de-
crease in price is expected before
the first of the year, and it may go
even higher.
Prices of all fruits except apples
are soaring. The good crop of win
ter apples will make the price such
that common Iolks can eat an apple
now and then without being extrav-
agant. The prices range from
iS1.25 to $3.50 per box.
