Why Visitors to Capital Call on the President

TT is interesting to hear visitors to
j the White House relate the pur-
poses for which they desire to see the
president. With many 1t is a mat

see IL he is taller than they thought
he was. whether his eyes are blue,
whether he has a dimple when he
smiles, and a myriad Of small details
that would be thought ordinarily OF
little consequence. and yet it is these
very details that go to make up the
popular impression of a public serv-

Beet Harvest Begins

With an increased acreage and the
beet crop In this district a litt}e below
normal, the sugar factory at Sugar
City will start on its 1918 campaign
shortly after October !. Beet lifting
begun yesterday In some localities,
while in Others the lifting has been
going on for several days. Owing to
the lack OF water at a time when the
crop was badly In need of it, is be-
lieved that the percentage OF sugar
will be cut down materially. but alto
gether the campaign just being ent-
cred into will prove that beets may
be grown protltably even under abnor.

which the town has attempted In the
way of public Improvements since the

provements that will start Ordway on
growth she has never experienced
before. A sewer system that will pro.

Attractive Advertising

The New Era is printing for the
Chamber OF Commerce one OF the
most attractive advertising features
ever gotten out by that body. The
idea belongs to the committee which
was placed in charge OF the canta.
loupe exhibit at Pueb bio last week. and
is folder 10 the shape OF one OF our
famous pink meats. The card is print.
ed in three colors in such a manner as
to reproduce as nearly as possible the
exact coloring OF both the inside and
outside OF the melon. After the print
ing was done, die was put on the
press and the double card cut out on
the outline Of the cant. The front
and back represent the outside Of the
melon. while on the inside is repro
duction of II melon cut open ready to
serve, together with information
about the Industry, Judging by the
inquiries about them. this advertis.
ing feature will be much In demand
by both business men and citizens
generally.

Change in Weather

The past week brought to this sec
ton OF the valley severe change in
weather and the annual pilgrimage Of
the hnd carrier coal houseward was
started. The thin blooded have start
ed their shriveling up and rusty stoves
aud stove pipe have been dug out of
storage, shined up and started to 60
ing. Overc0ats. the need for which
seemed long ways of two weeks ago,
have been brought out OF hiding with
broad smiles and aifectionately busted.
10 fact, 1t has been said that winter
has set in. A cold rain visited US
early In the week and stayed several
days. Light frosts have been expert
enced, but vegetation has not yet been
affected to an appreciable extent, and
late cantaloupe picking has received
an impetus that made the earlier ac-
tivities seem snail like.
The coal man is soon to have his
inning.

Sour Grapes

A dispatch from Rocky Ford has
the following to say about premium
awards at the State fair:
Otero county came out well at the
State fair considering the fact that
on many varieties of vegetables 1t as
impossible to make any entry and
lowing to the dry weather some OF the
varieties were not up to the standard.
The county exhibit secured 63 frs,
premiums, 20 second premiums and
third premiums aud In addition t.
ty-2s took the first county premium
and the sweepstakes.
Otero county has no kick coming
but some OF the judging which was
done by men from the agricultural
college was little peculiar To say the
least.
For example, the first prize on cit.
rons was awarded to Crowley county
and the ''citron" which took the first
prize was u winter melon and not a
citron at all.
After the awards had been made
Mr.. Kerney who had charge OF the
Otero county exhibit and who knows
a few things about vegetables and
fruit as well as gram, called the atten-
tion OF Professor Hinmann OF the col
lege to the matter and the latter ad-
mitted that a mistake had been made
but 1t was not rectitied.
In another case a sheaf Of barley
was given a premium for winter
wheat. These Instances are not given
for the purpose Of casting any slur on
the agricultural college or any OF its
professors but simply to Illustrate
that mistakes are made which should
not occur.

North Side Apple Crop

4 Reports from orchardlsts on the
north side of the valley are to the ef-
feet that the 1913 yield will amount
to about two-thirds of the 1911 crop.
This means that apple trees in this
section will yield about their normal
crop, as the 1911 yield was the highest
since the Industry started on this side
Ipf the valley. A conservative esti-
mate of the yield this year is placed
at about 125 cars. Some idea OF the
value Of this crop may be had when
1t is known that in 1911, when the
yield was so heavy, some of the or
chardists realized about $7OO per car
for all apples shipped. Then the
apple harvest was heavy all over the
country, while this year government
and other estimates of the total yield
Is not placed above 10000 900 barrels.
Colorado apples, like everything else
grown In the state, are fast gaining
an enviable reputation where good
things to eat are sold. and IL is safe to
isay that growers this year will be
richly rewarded. From this one source
Alone. it is expected that the district
will be enriched something like $780,.
900.
Packing will be begun In about a
week. Local lovers OF the apple are
now being given the pick Of the wind

but culls will be sold at the packing
sheds. Like the cantaloupes grown

ordway is Crowded

Has Ordway reached the limit OF
her growth? The scarcity Of homes
to rent and the absolute lack of suita-
BILE quarters available for Temporary
or permanent location would indicate
that the town is full up and running
over, and that little inducement Is
given outsiders to locate with us.
During the past month we have
known several really worthy people to
spend days at Il time In wild eyed
search for a place to lay their heads
and to get their feet under the table.
Hotels are crowded every night and OF
course they could not be expected to
Ill up their roums with regular board
ers at reasonable rates. All those
who rent rooms are having trouble to
keep from making up beds on the
front and back pnrches. One couple
expressed themselves as being unable
absolutely to find place to stay.
While Indicative of healthy
growth, such conditions should not be
allowed to exist in any growing
community. Those seeking q place To
locate should be encouraged To the ex-
tent that they might be able to fud
at least temporary quarters. People
coming into the town are often unable
to buy home and can't build a house
in night.
The time is ripe for the erection Of
suitable house In which rooms may
be rented. Such one with all modern
con nveniences would, we venture the
assertion. be decidedly popular

be rented at reasonable figure.

not improve your vacant lots with at
tractive homes and realize about ten
per cent on the investment?

After Murderer

j. j. Missemer, editor of the Limon
Express, was one of party visiting
this section Monday and Tuesday on
a hunt for a man who, on Sunday,
killed a freight conductor and robbed
a brakeman on the Rock Island road
near there. Word had been received
that the man was headed this way
and the party left Limon in automo-
biles in search of him. Two blood
hounds we're used In the chase. which
at last reports was fruitless. The
desperate was tracked for several
miles across the prairie about 25 miles
north of town, but for some reason
tho scent was lost and had not been
recovered at the time the searching
party was In Ordway.
According to newspaper reports the
attack by the bandit on the train crew
near Limon was very brutal. He first
beat into insensibility and then
robbed one of the brakemen and afew
minutes later shot aud killed Con-
ductor Samuel f. Marts as he gave
chase to the robber in making his es-
cape after rObbing the brakeman. The
man hunt has been engaged In by
hundreds OF men over portions Of
Lincoln, Ebert, Kit Carson, Chey-
enne, Kiowa and Crowley counties.
and 1t is believed that II the man Is
caught summary punishment will be
meted out to him.

MIXED CARGO COMES
 FROM CoCH|sE COUNTY
Convicts and Lunatics of Varou De-

Deputy Sheriff Allie Howe of Co., chise county arrived in town from Tombstone last night with a mixed cargo of convicts and lunatics. Two were conVictS and the rest were un- der commitment to the insane asylum but one of them, d large German was so much crazier than the rest, that his companions seemed to be men of the most profound wisdom
 This man who is insane on the sub
 ject of socialism had set out from Tombstone for Fl Paso on a bicycle without tires. He was armed with = rifle and en route he came to small ranch where there were several chickens He proposed to divide them
 with the owner, over the protests
 of the latter but having the gun on
 his side he effected the division and was preparing to eat one of the chickens when the officers who had been in pursuit of him arrived on the scene and took him into custody. He was not an expert bicycle rider
 at the best and no man can be an expert on a tireless bicycle. So that
 half his time on the journey before he reached the chicken ranch had
 been spent in picking himself off the ground and remOunting his wheel. His face was literally flayed there was not a square inch of whole skin During the short time he was at
 the sheriff's office last night before his removal to the asylum he made more noise than any half dozen lun- atics that that place had ever har- 1 bored.
 The other lunatics were very quiet but Watchful as though fearful that the German socialist and Deputy Sheriff Howe meditated an escaNe from them. The cOnVictS will be taken to the penitentiary today.
