minutes on the trolley"
The week following. Jocelyn Newell
started for the Norton home to as
sumo her duties as It's h~ousekeeper.

every Thursday afternoon" she
called back to Miriam, as the big
suburban trolley started. .
Jocelyn received a cordial welcome
from Mrs. Norton who had taken n
liking to her young housekeeper at
their first meeting.
Mrs. Norton was alone, and her Ill
health was largely the result of sor-
row over the loss of both her hus.
band and an only daughter.
The two women became fond of
each other for the girl made valiant
efforts to interest and amuse her en-
ployer: and great was her satisfaction
when she saw In Mrs. Norton a
marked improvement both in health
and spirits.
The weekly visits to Miriam were
faithfully paid. and the elder sister
,eemed cheerful and contented when
they met; 80 1t was a shock to Joce-
lyn when one day In late spring she
received a call from Oliver Craig,
n Of the favorite bachelors of her
home village, and was severely taken
ia task by him for leaving her sister
to die of loneliness.
When she tried to defend her action
he waved aside her explanation, but
his next words opened the mental
eyes of his bewildered listener.

AulT N. ". A.
IS VISITED
BY LECTURER
Change in Insurance Rates Is Dis
cussed BY o. Ii. Yerian and .
Raise Is Explained

Ault, April 26.-Before a large
crowd of members of the " w. A..
o. B. Yerian lecturer OF the NJ. W..
A. talked in Randolph hall last
night where the local lodge has its
headquarters. The principal pur-
pose of Mr.. Yerian's visit was to lay
before the lodge the reason for the
change in the rate of the fraternal
insurance carried by each member.
This insurance rate will be in
creased dating from January 1918.
The reason of this was stated by
Mr.. Yerian to be the fact that now
the lodge is 25 years old and many
of its older members are dying and
insurance carried by them must be
paid. Heretofore and now the rate
charged is less than the actual cost
OF the insurance. After next Janu-
ary it will be apportioned on the
actual cost of the insurance. While
a few members may drop out of the
organization as q consequence Of
this raise in rates 1t Is not believed
the general membership will be
affected by 1t. The change was
adopted by the head camp after
much careful consideration.
The Ault lodge is n flourishing
one. o. C. McW'lliams is head con-
sui and F. ]. Mcintyre IL clerk.

May Offer
BONUS FOR
BOARDERS
CITY JAIL EMPTY MOST OF
TIME, AND LESS THAN SMITH
AS MANY MEALS FURNISHED
LAST YEAR

Greeley's population is getting SO
good and moral that 1t 10 found
necessary to re-decorate the city
Jail and perhaps offer a premium
or let that hostelry go out of busi-
ness for want Of inmates. If II
wasn't for Red Aarnell's willingness
to come to the city's aid most any
time business gets too bad, the es-
tablishment would have q still hard
er time to keep Up appearances.
The first year of the present city
administration is up today. AS an
ocular demonstration of increased
morality, or unwillingness to live
off the city, or something else, il
has been discovered that while the
city furnished in the period from
May /, 1910 to May 1. 1911, 1852
meals to its unwilling boarders,
during the year following, and al
lowing for meals of the present in
mates until tomorrow night, only
651 meals have been furnished.
Maybe it's the quality of the meals,
instead of increased morality.
Meals for city prisoners cost the
city l7ls cents each and are fur
nished by the Club restaurant, under
contract. Meals for the county
prisoners are furnished by the
sheriff, and he is allowed so cents
a day for each prisoner boarded.

Fort Lupton. April 25.-Ants
which have infested the Fort Lup-
ton cemetery for years have IN
creased in such numbers that cask-
cts and even bodies in some cases
have suffered from their depreda-
tions and the women of Fort Lup,,
ton became so thoroughly aroused
over the neglect of the cemetery
grounds that they organized an as
sociation yesterday known as the
Ladies' Cemetery improvement as
sociation to improve conditions.
Mrs. H. j. McAnnelly and Mrs
William Stiles are among the lead
ers in the movement and the So
ciety has already secured $1oO TO-
wards the cemetery Improvement
fund. There is Fort Lupton
Cemetery association composed OF
men in existence and this organi-
cation will be asked to cooperate
with the women in their work.
Those who have investigated say
that many of the graves have be-
come ant hills honey combed by the
work of the species of ant which
builds nests of sticks and straw.
1t is the intention Of the new
society to bring irrigation water to
the plot. plant lawns, set out shrub
berry and trees and further beautify
the place. The cemetery, which 10

nullER WORK
BEGINS TODAY

Ault. April 29.-Looking toward
fAe Immediate erection of the new
$4,000 pea hulling plant BY J. H,
Empoon OF Longmont, work of
nsasuring the ground under the d.
rection Of Mr.. Empson began this
1ornfng. The building will be a
substantial one OF brick south of
The city near the Union Pacific
right of way and accessible for
ahipping purposes and convenient to
The farmers. It is believed that
The building will be finished by the
last OF May and anyway in time to
handle the first harvest of peas
early In June. Mr.. Empson bears
all the expense of eQuipping the
plant and 1t will be modern in every
particular. The site was sold by
Jacob Hasbrouch at a nominal sum
and consits of five acres.
There are 500 acres of peas
PLANTED for canning factory pur-
poses in Ault and vicinity. About
one-hAlf of the acreage is the
early variety. The late variety will
not be ready until some time in
July. but the ground on which
either variety is grown may be
used to grow second crop and
farmers generally will plant it to
grain to be used for winter feed.
Tho peas are not out of the
ground yet but a week or two Of
warm weather will bring them on
at . good rate. 1t 10 safe to esti-
MAfe that tho crop will net $35 an
Acre. which means $17,6O0 for the
Ault pea crop.
Peas withsr If hauled more than
. distance Of four miles and for this
reason It was necessary to establish
. pa hulling station here for the
acreage whose output goes to the
0reeley canning factory. As soon
- the peas are hulled they will be
rushed to Greeley BY automobile
trucks and canned.
