SHOULD USE GREAT CAUTION.

NF1OSGO OSE GnEAI GAO lONs
The farmer living in the northern
part Of the corn belt, who for one rea-
son or another may have to buy seed
corn within the next few weeks, should
exercise the greatest caution in the Sc
curing Of this supply. If possible he
should get it from some Of his nearest
neighbors, as experience in many
states has proved that such seed viii
DO better than thar brought in from
any considerable distance. II may be
that a good many ears will have to be
tested individually to get the seed one
needs, but this viii be worth while II
such home grown seed cannot be Sc
cured than one must look about in
some other quarter for that which is
good There are q few seed men who
are reliable and whose statements re-
garding seed corn they have for sale
may be taken at face value. There
are others who are in the shyster
class. from whom nothing should be
bought under any condition But from
Ehomsoever secured no seed corn

FOOD TRUST PROBE ON.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Sept. 13.-The food trust
| investigation which was recently
probed by the Shattuck special grand
| jury, but which inquiry was delayed
because of other questions being
considered by that body, is again
to be resumed by another special
grand jury which is to be summoned
by District Judge Teller, either to-
day or tomorrow. Other matters to
be probed are the alleged franchise
steals, and the affairs of the district
attorneys office.
1t is believed that the inquiry of
the food trust combine will consume
fully two months, although there are
reports circulating to the effect that
no such an Illegal combine exists in
Denver: However, it will be a diff
cult matter to convince anyone fa-
miliar a all with conditions in DEN
yer and Colorado that there does not
exist such an unlawful combination,
for conditions indicate that fixed
prices exist in all lines of foodstuffs,
especially produce and fruits.
The second grand jury will also
probe the rights of certain utility
corporations in Denver to do business
under existing rights which rights
have repeatedly been questioned, the
claim being advanced thai prevailing
franchises do not legally permit the
companies in question to do business
in this city
Judge Teller declares that il he
finds Justification in the report to be
made by the grand jury of unlawful
acts on the part of corporations or
individuals, he will Immediately be-
gin prosecutions against such com-
panies and persons, without fear or
favor. Judge Teller is open in his
Intentions and says that no guilty
person will escape this inquiry.

amount of material to feed employees

Circus people live well, and only
the best of everything is used in the
commissary department. That big
show leaves a liberal lump of money
in a city at times is evident from the
contracts made here. To a local cof-
fee firm the mammoth order for 40
pounds of coffee was givtn. From an
equally well-lnown grocery house
$500 worth of groceries was con-
tracted. Two hundred and fifty

The money carried out of town by
