Why was MI Archbold allowed to

he should have been held not only as

Bank for Kit Carson.

past, has moved to Kit Carson
and are now ready for business.
This is quite a boost for Kit
Carson and a big loss to the peo-
pie of Wild Horse, but the stock
holders believe they best serve
their own interests and the inter-
ests of the people in the west
part of the county by this move.
The management Of the bank
will remain the same, the officers
being J. R. Stewart, president;
Chas. E. Collins. vice-president.

Carson in securing this suhstan-

prove to be a wise move for all
concerned.

Wilson Will Be President.

Woodrow Wilson will be the
next president of the United
States. But he will be more than
that. He will be the first pres
ident of the United States to go
into Office owing favors to nobody
except the American people and
under obligations to nothing ex-
cept the general welfare. No
political boss brought about his
nomination. No political machine
carried his candidacy to victory.
No coterie of Wall street brokers
provided the money to finance
his campaign. He has no debt
to pay to corrupt politics or to
corrupt business. He was nomi-
mated by the irresistible force of
public opinion and by that alone.
He stands before the country a
free man. New York World.

IS making a thorough success.


'These are only few of the cases
that have come under my observation.
Conditions are excellent in this section
of the state, and all farmers who cul-
tivate their land properly are raising
excellent crops. The only drawback
is the squatter, who files upon l6O or
$40 acres of land, and does only
enough work to be able to hold it,
with no intention of making a success
at farming. But the people of Colo
RADIO are becoming aroused to the inn
portance of getting reliable and effic-
lent farmers on the land, and it will
be but few years until eastern Colo
rado will be as productive as the best
agricultural sections of the states fur
ther east, in the so-called rainbelt.
The moisture is sufficient to insure
good crops almost every year, with
proper soil treatment, and scientific
farming will be the means of doing
away with crop failures in the future" !"

A Series of Rains.

Cheyenne county has been glo-

rains that have broken all pre-

smile on the face of the farmer
that wont come off this year at
least.
For the past two months copi-
Gus rains have fallen at intervals
but beginning on Monday night
July 18th it rained every night
for eight straight nights except
ing last Saturday night. These
rains were pretty general over
the entire county and all crops
are looking good. It is hard to
tell what night the most rain fell
but the worst wind storm and
lightning occurred in Cheyenne
Wells last Friday night. Fences
and out-houses were blown down,
telephone wires were broken and
the whole system put in even
worse shape than it was in, and
lightning struck several houses
but with little damage excepting
several broken fues. One good
thing in connection with all of
these rains, there has been very
little hail to damage the growing
crops.
