BIGGEST BALER
 IN THE VALLEY.
J. T. Etter Has Put Fifty Ton Machine at Work; Sportsmen Are Again Warned; Creighton Dis
 trlct Proud of Its Roads

CREIGHTON, DISTRICT, July 24-I J. w. Etter has purchased what is supposed to be the best and largest nay baler in the valley. It is an au- tomatc feeder and has a capacity of over o0 tons per day. The press is run by a twenty i've horsepower engine. It requires crew of thirteen men to keep the hay going through it at full speed and about three buck rakes. The bales turned out by this oaler are perfect in size and shape One customer said they were the best bales that he has ever seen. This baler IS now at work in Madison district, but MT. Etter says he will have it at work in this section in a few days. This will help the baler famine which has been experienced in this part of the valley since the burning of the Smith baler on the Egley ranch
 ! Emil Erhardt has been awarded the contract for the planting of the large Sturgis tract on Roosevelt street The land will be planted to milo maise This is some of the most fertile soil in the valley and it is expected to grow two heavy crops before fall | n -hCAiIdi odlliIS crew IS dl WOIk on the Robinson ranch on the Me DoWell road, baling the extra heavy and clean crop of alfalfa hay.
 After having given the hunters sev- eral warnings respecting the careless way of hunting game along the roads of these thckly settled districts the | farmers have begun a crusade against them, and will see that the law pro- hibiting shooting along highways is | enforced and the intruder punished Several residents of this district have lost valuable horses and cows Dr.
 Ramsey has just reported another case of lockjaw caused by a 2-caliber bullet.
 The roadsides of this district are with a few exceptions in first class condition, and almost every rancher is putting forth extra efforts to make this the best looking district in the
 valley. All but a few of the non
 progressive" farmers will help.
 MT. and Mrs. C. M Etter left last
 Tuesday evening for San Diego and other points of interest in southern
 California They will be gone about
 two months.
 Mrs. sam Klick is improving rap
 idly and will be able to be up and around in a few weeks if no relapse
 occurs
 Joe Crunch has just returned from
 Stockton, Cal, and is much pleased
 with that country, but he says it has
 two great drawbacks. One is the
 changeable weather and Joe was com
 pelled to buy an OvercOat, a ridicu-
 lous proceeding for an AriZOnan in the summertime. The other is the alien labor which is putting the nat
 ural born American out of work and also out of something to eat. He says one hop company has decided
 to hire boy scouts and do away with
 the aliens. The hop growers in gen
 eral are thinking of doing this if the
 young Americans will stay with it. l Word has been received from Her } man Smith, who left for Germany / his native country, a little over two : months ago. He says he will be back
 in the early fall and although things
 are in first class condition there, he
 likes to be under the stars and , stripes.
 Jacob Kleck the silver tongued or atOr made some eloquent speeches at
 the organization of the "Etter Liter , ary society" among the members Ot ; the Etter baling crew last Tuesday = evening.
