munity development, but began his
remarks by suggesting the undevel-
opment Of the house fly. No better
advertisement abroad for Greeley
could be had, he said, than to be
able to tell the world that Greeley
was as near fiyless as possible to
get. 1t could be made a hyless
town, he said, with but little trouble
and expense.
The speaker warned the meeting
OF the perils of over development or
booming, declaring that the only
real progress was that based on
firm foundation. He paid a glowing
tribute to the pioneers who founded
Greeley and started it on the sub
stantial basis that it enjoys today.
C. F. Bell talked on cooperation
and organization. presenting some
hard, knotty arguments on why the
retailers should organize and CO.
operate in their business. He re-
ferred to a long cared wild animal
in Southern America that protected
itself by going about in numbers
and when attacked by its natural
enemies, formed a circle by putting
the heads together and the feet
out. using the latter as battering
rams. The apt illustration was fol-
lowed with others.
c. ]. Crockett talked on adver-
tising and advocated pure adver-
tising law" by the government
along the lines of the pure food
law. Mr.. Russell explained later
that such law was being drawn
up and would be up to the next
congress and that the retail men
would have to fight hard to get 1t
passed. The honest advertiser won
in the long run, said Mr.. Crockett.
He brought in property and city i'm
provements as being potent adver-
tising features for the merchant and
the city at large. He suggested that
the merchants of Greeley have a
carnival week during the next
county fair, so that the city would
offer attractions to the visitors. An
educational campaign against the
parcels post bill that has passed the
house was advocated by the
speaker.
Following the addresses organi-
zation was effected and a tentative
constitution and by laws adopted.
The meetings will be held monthly.

FAITHFUL DOG SAVES LIFE
OF BABE BUT LOSES OWN
IN BATTLE With RATHER

Kersey, May 9.-To the fidelity
and courage of the family shepherd
dog the two year old child of John
Sanford living on dry farm east
of here owes its life when the child
was held fascinated by the coiled
body OF an angry rattlesnake yester-
day which the brave dog finally kill
ed but not until the snake had fas-
tened its fangs in the dogs body
with fatal result.
Yesterday was an exceedingly
warm day on the plains and the
children of the Sanford household
were eager to be out of doors. The
father decided to go into field
near by to do some work and a girl
of six and a baby boy of two follow
ed. The children walked slowly
and when about half way to the
field the sharp ears Of the older
child caught the whirring sound OF
a rattle snake against which she
had been SO often warned. She was
about six feet ahead of the baby
and was Mortified to see the little
one standing by the side of the big
snake unafaid while the black
tongue of the rattler darted dan
gerously near the legs of the baby
She screamed loudly and the father
realizing the danger, ran back, but
not before Jack" the pet dog was
on the scene. Quick as a flash the

KERSEYITES
INTERESTED
N FACTORY
Commercial Club Discusses PrOpo-
sitiOn OF independent Sugar Re
finery and Likes Idea

Kersey. May 1.-THE subject OF
an independent sugar factory for
the Kersey district was thoroughly
discussed at meeting Of the ker-
sey Commercial club last night and
Kersey farmers expressed them
selves as favorable to the project
insofar as they were informed. In
order that they may learn of the
proposition in all details an invita-
tation was extended to Ward OAR
ley, the main promoter of the pro-
ject, to address the club at its meet
ing next Monday on the merits OF
the proposition. Kersey district
grows a large acreage of beets and
the opinion is that its territory and
that tributary could furnish suffic-
lent acreage to support q factory in
or near Kersey.
The new good roads bill was also
up before the club for discussion.
OF especial interest was the discus
sion of the matter of securing better
freight facilities for Kersey. At
present there are only two local
fretghts week over the Union Pa
cific, not enough for the business
of the district. A committee consist
ing OF Messrs. W. C. Fisher, Right
mire and Saare was appointed to
take steps toward getting better
freight service.
Kersey will compete for the
prizes offered by the Great Western
Sugar company for the best beets
grown. and to induce the growers
to compete for the prizes
and also to gather agricultural ex-
hibits for the Weld county fair a

between the boy and the snake.
Then began an encounted such as
is seldom witnessed. The snake
coiled, rose and struck at the dog
repeatedly which now thoroughly

then the shepherd would bite the
snake viciously and just dodge the
fearful fangs. But once too often

reptile falling off dead.
In the meantime the children's
mother had carried them to safety
and the father gave his attention to
the wounded dog, but all efforts
were fruitless to save the life of the
pet, which fingered in agony only :
few hours.
Last year there were more rattle
snakes on the plains than were ever
known before. 1t was thought the
cold winter might kill them off but
indications are that this was not
the case. 1t is early for the snakes
to be out and homesteaders are
