week instead of $4,000 the gross profit the $1,000 extra
sales would be profit if expenses remained the
before.
If the stock averaged gross profit of % cent the

But 81 900 week sales can't be "wished on" 1t

That extra business if you would have it, from

Why not go directly to the public in the strongest and
most effective and ask them to give those extra sales

finally made his appearance in Judge
Fenlason's court on Saturday and was
found guilty of an infraotion of the peace
in August last, for which the court i'm
posed peace bond of $500.
But earlier IN the day-that he might
keep himself in the limeight as our one
and only bad man-Supener had made a
vicious assault upon D, T. Whitlock, who
also had case coming up against him
on Saturday for an assault committed on
Aug. 8. On this last occasion Supener
is SAID to have knocked the real estate
man down and kicked him about the
head while he was on the ground, so that
Mr.. Whitlock was sorry sight when he
appeared in Judge Fenlason's court .on
Saturday afternoon to prosecute the as
sault case of Aug. l8. But even with
this occular evidence of Supener's ami
mostly and nothing but his unsupported
testimony that he was not guilty of the
assault charged. the jurv that defendant
had demanded, after over an hours de-
liberation reported that they were un-
able to agree and were discharged.
This case was set for retrial yester-
day afternoon when Assistant District
Attorney Wallis asked for and obtained
change of venue to La Junta. where a
justice of the peace will hear it as well
as the assault case of Saturday last.

SUDAN
GRASS

A small test of one-half acre Of the
new forage plant, Sudan grass, was made
at the Rocky Ford station the past season.
The results from this test were promising
and indicate that this crop is one of the
most valuable forage crops that has been
introduced since the introduction Of alfal-
ia.
The seed for this test was supplied by
the United States Office of Seed distribu-
ton, for dry-land seeds. The seed was
sown in 20 inch rows. May %. irrigated
up, and cultivated twice while it was
small. The growth was slow like cane
for the first few weeks. but it soon began
to stool and shoot up rapidly. July z. the
growth was about four feet high. and
half of the plat was cut for hay. which
made about two tons per acre of very
leafy hay. The plat was again irrigated
for the second and last time. Betwenn

HAS STRUCK OIL
So Declares Rocky Ford Man Who
Has Been Investigating

The Pueblo Chieftain Of Wednesday
contained the following Rocky Ford
special:
"B. F. Knapp. who lives on a ranch
west of the city claims to have discover
ed oil in considerable quantities north OF
the city and has begun making some
quiet experiments with the ground In that
vicinity. He claims that there is an
abundance of oil at depth OF 500 feet
and as there are several who are becom-
ing interested in the enterprise it is
thought that during the winter should
the weather prove favorable, drillings
will be made at the points indicated Ly
Mr.. Knapp.
Several years ago another party. now
dead, claimed that there was oil in the
same locality that would pay for work
ing and tried to interest several men in
this city and La Junta in the scheme.
but no one seemed to take much stock in
the belief of the old prospector and little
has been thought of the matter since
that time until Mr.. Knapp has revived
the interest, and the prospect now is that
some work will be done in the near flu
ture."

helpful to athletics, and the La Junta-
Rocky Ford football game which was
scheduled for next Saturday has been
declared off. Now that the authorities at
West Point have declared tn emselyes as
favorable to having the game abolished,
because of the fact that very large per
cent of the surgical operations among the
men of the institution are traceable to the
effects of injuries received in this way. it
is an open question as to the final outcome
in the general attitude toward the Ma
tional Game.
Through the Manual Training Depart
ment, conditions in the laboratory are be-
ing improved by the addition of leaves to

to Death

In response to telegram announcing
that her brother. John H. Howell, had
been instantly killed in an auto accident
on Sunday, Mrs. H. W. Lance left for
Kansas City upon the first train Monday
morning.
The following account of the accident
is taken from the Kansas City Journal of
Oct. 3:
The failure of the brakes to work
when his car skidded on loose earth on a
steep hill near Bethel. Kas.. and became
uncomfortable yesterday morning. caused
John H, Howell. a wealthy real estate
man and builder. to be crushed to death
beneath the wheel after he had missed a
bridge and the car had landed bottom side
up in a creek bed ten feet below the level
of the road.
Mrs. Howell and their three children
were also caught beneath the car and
held until help came. bnt they were unin-
jured save for bruises and slight cuts.
Mr.. Howell's skull was crushed and death
apparently was instantaneous. The ac-
cident occurred within plain view Of the
country place of W. ]. Buehan. former
Kansas state senator. Mr.. ,Buchan anc
some of his employees lifted the car and
carried the entire party to the Buchar
home. where DR.. J. F. Hassig, acting cor

Profe ssor G. c. Brandenburg, school
inspector from the State University, spent
the entire day on Tuesday in our High
school. Mr.. Brandenburg's recommend
alton to the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary schools will de-
termne whether or not the Rocky Ford
High school will be continued on the Ac-
credited List for the coming year.
A new music book, Songs We Like to
Sing, has been purchased for use in the
seventh and eighth grades. These books
will be of much service in the higher class
OF familiar songs.
The sympathy of the student body and
of the teachers is with Miss Estel Bacon
who is seriously i'll at her home. All arc
anxious for her speedy recovery ami her
return to her work in the High school.
We have never known better spirit of
work to exist throughout the schools, and
1t is the desire of the Board Of Education
and of the teachers that this spirit shall
continue. The parents and patrons of the
schools will greatly encourage this spirit,
it they will assist the young people max
ing wise distribution of the time. Even
ing parties and excursions on school
days will not improve the school work.
The annual physical examination of all
school children adds much to the respon-
sioility of the teachers, and it is great
relief when this task is ended. The
teachers are unanimous in the opinion
that this examination should be made by
expert physicians, or school nurses,
