The Raymer enterprise., 1912-04-25

We are sorry to hear that little Mil
dred Smathers has not been very well
of late.
A couple of cars of ties were dis
tributed along the track near Raymer1
last Friday.
James Tighe left last Friday for
Denver where he expects to find en-
ployment during the summer.
Mr.. Lundvall's brother and friend
came down from their claims near Ke-
ota Tuesday for visit at the home OF
Mr.. Lundvall south of town.
l.. A. Whittier is working for Hurt
gen brothers assisting in the machinery
department mostly, but making a
handy man wherever needed.
Henri Charleston leaves today for
Sterling where he will offer final proof
on his quarter section homestead.
From there he will go to Loomis, Neb-
raska for the summer.
Ii we want to get chance to stop
this rein SO that farmers will have a
chance to put in their crops, we make
the guess that our people will have to
stop trying TO get up parties.
Miss Mabel Arlington went down to
Sterling last Friday, intending to re-
main over the Sabbath and visit rela-
tives, but the storm of Saturday morn
Ing determined her to return to Ray
mer on that date.
a pleasant surprise was planned and
carried out for Mrs. Francis on her
birthday April 23rd. A picnic dinner
was enjoyed by all. Those present
were Mesdames. Fike, Wagner, d. N.
Francis, Nickerson and Miss Carrie
Nickerson.
Sterling'is distributing seed to dry
land farmers this week, and it is re-
ported that Greeley is going to con
tribute to assist the farmers around
Num-. This section seems to be left
to shift for itself, which it can prob
ably do, including building its own
bridges and contributing TO taxes for
Weld also.
Hurtgen G. Hurtgen received another
car of machinery this week, and they
now have splendid assortment to Sc
lect from. Good farm tools are neces-
sary to do good farm work econoically.
They have them of all sorts. They
have as complete line as will be found
in many Of the eastern towns many
times the size of Raymer.
Jamer Amber is convinced that sum.
mer culture is u good thing. He tells
us that where he summer titled last
summer there is IL inches moisture
than where he did not. This season is
starting as of we might hiHs all the
wet we wish, but don't get careless on
that account. Timely cultivation is i'm
rortant always, and doubjy so in dry
years. Go at it just as If you expected
a repetition Of last season, and you will
win out.
There is no trouble about plenty of
moisture this spring. Last week. COM
mencing with tuesday, a daily fall of
moisture kept the water going down
into the soil preparing it for bumper
crop. Some days it was rain, and part
of the time it vas snow, but the latter
turned to water as fast Us it fell.
Monday was the first day without its
shower. The only thing lacking now
is a little gpol warm weather to start
the grass and vegetation.
Iowa held its republican state con.
yention yesterday. The delegates were
very evenly divided between Taft and
Cummins. both claiming they will con-
troll. Had Taft won in Illinois and
Pennsylvania, it is probable that the
adherents Of the president would be
able to control the Iowa convention,
but since the results In tho two states
have so shattered the administration
forces as to make the nomination of
Taft improbable, it will not be strange
il the cummins men are able to con-
troll that state convention. The old
fourth district in which the Enter
