Where Do the Watches COT

What becomes Of the watches? The
average man does not buy more than
about two or three watches in the
course of his whole life. and yet the
manufacturers keep on making new
watches by the hundred thousands,
Who buys them all? No statistics can
answer the question. What becomes
of the old watches? What did you
do with the one you discarded when
you got your present watch? Where
is 1t now? 1t was silver watch and
II kept good time for years-that old
watch. that predecessor of the gold one
that you now possess. You had a
strong affection for it. You called it
"she." and sometimes In the solitude
OF your room you may have caught
yourself saying word or two to It
aloud. The watch certainly talked to
you In the middle Of the night. Heine's
watch corrugated Hebrew by the hour.
The old watch had kind Of a ring
ing tick like rivetlng machine, and
you could hear it clear through the
pillow. 1t has sung you to sleep more

The Eye as a Camera.

The human eye is a perfect phOtOg-

plate on which are focused all objects
by means of the crystalline lens. The
cavity behind this lens is the shutter
The eyelid is the drop shuttle. The
iraping of the optical darkroom is the
only black membrane In the entire
body. This miniature camera Is self
focusing, self loading and self develop
ing and takes millions Of pictures every
day In colors and enlarged to life size.
Charts have been repared-marvelous
charts-which go to show that the eye
has 100 distinct expressions conveying
as many distinct shades Of meaning
The power Of color perception Is over

A Tax Scheme That Failed.

Switzerland has always prided itself
on its independence, and In fiscal mat
tiers this proud spirit, which will brook
no interference with the rights Of the
individual, even by the state in quest
Of revenue, has sometimes been ex-
hibited in curious ways, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. AS the inquisitorial
methods of income tax collectors are
abhorrent to the freedom loving Swiss,
boxes were once set up In several can
tons to receive the voluntary contribu-
tons Of loyal citizens. 1t was hoped
that this method OF relying on the pub
lie spirit Of the people would prove
successful in raising money for public
ends; but, alas for human nature, In
the course Of time the collectors on
opening the boxes found nothing but
trousers buttons. So the voluntary sys-
ten, after fair trial, had to be reluc-
family abandoned In favor Of dec
laration of capital and income which
Is liable to official investigation.

homesteads are about ten miles north
east of Keota, and the shooting was
done on the Peters place, following
quarrel. according to the story of the
woman. There were no witnesses. At
Greeley. Mrs. Peters is said to have
stated that she had ordered McManus
away, then fired two shots when he
failed to leave, and on the third shot
she took aim before firing. The charge
entered the back of the mans head. A
repeating shot gun was used. The
woman told Clarence Quackenbush what
she had done, and then went about her
work as tho nothing had happened.
Deputysheriff Davis was summoned,
and brought Mrs. Peters to town that
evening. Sheriff McAfee and Coroner
Church came on Saturday. The coro-
ner's jury returned verdict stating
simply that McManus had died from
gunshot wound inflicted by Mrs. Olive
G. Peters. The woman, accompanied
by her husband, and two little children,
was taken to Greeley by the sheriff,
early Sunday morning. The general
view taken of the tragedy is that the
woman is mentally unbalanced, and has
been so for some time.

age, and formerly member of the

ON PULLING TOGETHER

Friends of the creamery were highly
gratified at the successsof Saturdays 8
meeting. The result of the stock sub
scription, after full discussion of the
question from all view points. was very
promising for the success Of the ven

will quote from an article printed in
Mail and Breeze of Topeka, Kansas. of
date of January 18, 1918. 'In Wiscon-
sin there are about 1000 local creamer-
les. The average membership for each
creamery is 83. The average number
of cows for each creamery is 767. Al
most the entire creamery business in
Wisconsin and Minnesota is in the

A Farewell Party

Mr.. and Mrs. Olsen gave surprise
party in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. William
B. Dake and Mr.. and Mrs. Chester
Dake March 81. The honor guests were
invited Informally to spend the evening;
when they arrived they found about
thirty neighbors there and each had
brought his share of ice cream, cake
and fruit. The surprise was perfect.
Some music and old-fashioned games
made the evening fly; games old but
new to some, Clap-in Clap-out, Char
ades, Spin the-Platter, Bobbing for ap-
pies, Poor Pussy, and 1t. The forfeits
were also old, but always new picking
cherries, building chicken coops, maxi
ing telephone lines. The Dakes have
always taken leading part in the So
cial life of Prosperity Valley, and are
more than favorites among their many
friends. Another thing that made the
evening especially enjoyable was that
in spite of her broken ankle, which is
rapidly improving, Miss Bertha Olsen
moved about among the guests and was
the life of the party. All were boys
and girls again for the night. Among
the guests, besides those surprised,
were Mr.. Charles Dake. Misses Hettie,
Mae and Ruth Dake, Mr.. and Mrs. FL
mer Lyon, Grover Lyon, Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Hoover, Glare Hoover, Mrs.
Benson, Miss Edith Parsons, Mrs. Ear
nest, Miss Wallace, Mr.. Marr, Misses

by without the failure of single CO.
operative creamery in those states. -
The latter part of above statement is a
hard jolt to the claim that large per-
centage of all business enterprises fail;
and yet have known much of the
creamery business in both of said
states and know the article to be true.
Mr.. Jackson, in Saturday afternoon 8
meeting, hit the nail squarely on the
head when he said that the creamery
would be good thing if it only got the
people to pulling together. If any COM
munity needs to work together, it is
ours. ''In union there is strength" is
an old saying, but just as true now as
ever. We have the territory and eli
mate to make success. 1t is up to US
to work together. We have all seen
the tug of war. Several start even at
each end of rope. pulling every pound
they can, and yet for minutes the rope
will not move either way to noticea-
BILE degree. A small boy could decide
the contest by adding his strength to
one side, so evenly are they divided.
If those same men were to pull together
a strong team would hardly be able to
check them. So with us. The tug of
war is on. If we pull together success
will be our reward; but every man who
pulls back is hurting himself and his
neighbor. Let every man who has
signed do what he can to line up his
neighbor, and let all who have not
signed for stock come and join in the
movement. The present officers favor
policy of management that allows
every stockholder to know the ms and
outs of the business. The company is
yours, and we want you to feel that
way about it:

INTENSE INTEREST
IN CREAMERY
Fourth of Desired Stock Subscrip-
ton Quickly Signed

Much interest was manifested at the
creamery meeting held in Keota school
house last Saturday afternoon, and
more than a fourth of the desired stock
subscription was signed up in just a few
minutes
Ira S. Griffin, secretary-treasurer of
the board of directors of the company,
presented the proposition, and outlined
briefly the plan, and benefits to be de-
rived from operation OF q creamery at
this place. He has had experience with
other cooperative creameries, and is
positive that there is absolutely no need
for fear of failure in this instance
And even were the company to fail to
pay direct profits for year or so, the
indirect returns from better market
for cream. and growth of the dairy
industry thus broughtabout. would be
the biggest kind of dividend on the
price of the stock. Mr.. Griffin was
followed by Mr.. Jackson, Mr.. Clifford
Jobbins, Mr.. Owens, and others, all of
whom were agreed on the desirability
of creamery.
The new townsite owner has offered
to donate half acre as a site, and six
lots have been selected, south of the
Poush building. 1t is figured that $500
should cover cost of erection of suit
able cement building, about 30X5O feet
in SIZE and the installation of all neces-
sary equipment. 1t is hoped to have
the plant in operation by the first of
June; which will give the seven best
months of the year for the first years $
business.
At the close of the discussion the
stock list was opened. and $675 was
subscribed, at $25 per share, almost as
quickly as the names could be written
Many who were not at the meeting had
previously, or since have, signified de-
sire to take stock; so it seems there will
be little difficulty in selling the requisite
amount.
w. j. Simms is president, Harley
Jobbins, vice president, and Ira S. Grif-
fin, secretary treasurer, of the board Of
directors, having been elected at a
meeting of the board held early last
week.
The greeting. when friends meet in
Keota, is coming to be: Have you
taken stock in the creamery" Of
course, the proper reply is: "Yes," or
81 will do so at once -

DAIRYING IN COLORADO
Some Advantages Which Make for
Profitable Cream Production

Does Colorado offer any inducements
for dairying?
All the dairy experts who have in
vestigated the conditions assert we do.
To-day Wisconsin stands first in dairy
products, with New York and Iowa q
tie for second place, and Illinois third.
All the feed used in milk production
can, be grown cheaper here than in
either of these states. Take Wiscon-
sin, hay yields to l-2 tons, silo corr
g to 10 tons, barley 25 to so bushels
Colorado 3 l2 to tons hay, siIo corn II
to Is tons, barley 60 to 100 bushels.
Then, owing to our milder climate,
buildings are not necessarily so expens.
i've and cows require some less feed.
Take the market conditions. Wiscon-
sin, and even New York, ship hundreds
of cars Of dairy products every year tc
west coast cities. The writer has otter
noticed New York dairy express cars in
trains going thru Geeley billed to these
coast cities. The last government ex.
pert who was here a short time ago,
said Every steam ship leaving west
ern port carries dairy products for the
round trip. We are 1000 miles nearer
these markets than Wisconsin, and 150C
to 1000 miles nearer than New York.
Dairymen assert that our cooler nights
favor keeping milk or cream. One of
the largest dealers in dairy products in
the Union in an article not long age
said New York has lost in the last ten
years her place as first in dairy products
owing to the tremendous growth and
demand for milk and sweet cream in
coast cities that pay SO much more for
these products that it has closed cream
cries and cheese factories in sections
close to thru railroad lines. Also the
dairy business is moving West year by
year, owing to cheap feed, caused by
rich land and larger Yields. He winds
up with this prediction "Owing to the
fertility of soil and climatic conditions
the inter-mountain district is destined
at no distant day to cut an important
figure in future dairy products. This
is from a man who has been for 25
years handling dairy products and is
thoroughly posted in that business in all
sections of the Union.
The Germans, the Swiss and the
Danes in Colorado realize the situation
and are taking up dairying all over the
State. In December, going to Rocky
Ford, l met Dane on the cars who
was milking nine cows, and several OF
his neighbors, all Danes, were aiming
soon to start creamery. Ho had been
in Colorado ten years, and last year
went home on visit. He said "My
visit impressed upon me the wonderful
resources for dairying here, and l got
some of my neighbors to 20 in with me
for some cows, and creamery as soon
rs we are big enough. With such re-
liable testimony from such disinterested
sources, it would seem worth while for
every farmer who wants to benefit his
condition to throw aside his prejudices
and investigate this subject carefully.

NEW RECORD FOR
FIRE DEPARTMENT
SIxTY-SEVEN RUNS HAVE AL.
READY BEEN MADE DURING
THE PRESENT YEAR.

While none of the fires have been
very serious. so far this year the
Brunswick fire department has re
sponded to 81 alarms, WHICH breaks
all previous records for the CITY. II
the record is maintained during the
remainder of the year, then the de
partment will have a record of calls
which will no doubt stand in Bruins
wick for some timeato come.
Most of these 81 Alarms have been
caused by small blazes, resulting in
damages ranging from $40 to $50
Onyl about five of them have caused
damage of more than two or three
hundred dollars, but still the depart
ment has answered that many calls.
AS an example of the record that
may be made this year, during the
entire twelve months of 1912 the de
partment answered in all only Il
alarms, and already during 1913, with
only five months gone, 81 alarms
have been sent in, within ten of the
total of last year.
