Mystery Solved

Several weeks ago the New Era an
nounced the mysterious disappearance
OF John Powell from the farm home
of J. Il Thomas, where he was left in
charge OF the place during the absence
Of the Thomas family on their trip by
auto to the Paci hc coast. Powell dis
appeared during the night OF August
Is. and aside from the finding OF his
bicycle at Il sheep camp snme thirty
miles north OF town, no clue to his
whereabouts was Obtainabie. Sheriff

that the missing farm hand was con-
mitted to the state insane ASYLUM at
Pueblo from Fort Morgan some time
ago, and when taken into custody had
something over one hundred dollars

Beet Harvest On

Farmers have begun In earnest the
annual harvest OF sugar beets and a
large number of cars have already
been loaded at the Ordway dump.
These are being shipped to Sugar City
and placed 10 the storage bins there
pending the opening Of the campaign
at the factory in few days. Con.
sidering the season that the Ordway
district has had, the beet crop will be
splendid one. and handsome sun,
will be paid out to the farmers by the
National Sugar Manufacturing conf
pany. Only an estimate Of the crop
this year can be made now and few ex-
perts care to do even that. It IL ex-
pected, however, that the crop will
be nearly normal. IL Is understood
that the percentage Of sugar 10 this
years beets ranks we'll along wit h
those Of other years. The Ordway
district planted a larger acreage this
year than ever before, the hot dry
weather and no water in August being
responsible for any failure of the crop
to come up to the standard. II indeed
any failure IL 10 prospect.
An average Of about twelve cars
daily are being loaded at the local
dump and forwarded to Sugar City.

Where is. the Fault7

Once 10 while we hear someone
say that someone has told them that
someone who has located in the Ord
way district and gone to farming was
dissatisfied with the country in gen.
eral and the district In particular. 1t
Is not our intention To dwell on the
folly Of circulating such reports-that
Is too evident to u real booster-but
we would like to know where the
FAULT lies II anyone is dissatisfied with
the country as an agricultural section.
Rather than 1t being the fault OF
the land, climatic conditions and
water supply, might 1t not well be
the fault OF the man who directs the
far ming operations? Or might 1t not
be that before he purchased the land
Il vivid picture Of the land Of plenty
and a life Of ease was pictured to him
by the real estate agent, and finding
after season that money didn't grow
on vines. he became disappointed?
1t was positively refreshing recent
ly to hear farmer OF experience who
has been here only season say that
he had nothing TO complain about
that he was very we'll satisfied. This
man. incidently, has been operating u
farm long enough to know that, all
assertions to the contrary, money
cannut be made on farm without
wOrk-physical and mental. By scien.
titic and sensible application he has
made farming In the Ordway district
pay during his first season. and all
who will do likewise are bound to
make money.
Farm lands 10 the Ordway district,
even with their present high price,
can be made to pay handsome re-.

The telephone girl sits still In her

hears all the news, she knows who Is

knows all our sorrows, she knows all
our joys, she knows every girl who is
chasing the boys. She knows every
man who is mean to his wife, and the
man who shovels food In his mouth

we are out with the boys, she hears
