falfa from the 80 acres gave him 100
ton Of hay. The second cutting was
left for seed and he expects to receive
between three and four hundred dollars
from that.
For the crop growing conditions Of
this year. that is certainly very de.
cidedly good showing for alfalfa in
eastern Colorado without any irrigation
and should encourage more of our farm
ers to try 1t.
Bert was in considerable of hurry
and could not take time to give us in
detail his system Of planting and careinp
for his alfalfa. He did. however, in
most emphatic terms insist that the on.
ly way in which TO prepare the ground
for seeding to alfalfa is to plow deep,
as deep as four good horses will handle
plow and. when man who has had
as much experience in raising alfalfa as
he has and with as lgood results, says
to plow deep for alfalfa, it is certainly
about time for the "book" farmers
and the farmers, who have had no act.
ual experience in raising alfalfa, to
come to the conclusion that the man
knows what he is talking about.
His contention for deep plowing is
|certainly most reasonable. or all the
plant life raised by the farmer in east.
ern Colorado, the roots Of the alfalfa
sink the deepest into the ground. The
deeper the roots of the growing plant
20 into the ground, the more need there
is for deep blowing to furnish storage
for moisture and easy penetration Of
the plant roots.
Farmers who are having poor success
with alfalfa or who have never tried Il,
will not make any mistake by COUNSEL
ing with such successful alfalfa grow.

The way of the transgressor is hard
and especially when the Pinkertons
get after the transgressor.
r. Z. Clayton was placed in Jail here
last night and will be taken back to
Ohio, where he is charged with forg-
ing the name of his employer to a
check for $50. The check was forg-
ed on the Sth of November, the dis
covery was made at once, the case
was turned over TO the p. B. B. p,
which is a Pinkerton organization de-
signed for the protection of banks,
on the 11th of the month and just be-
fore the last day of the same month
the alleged forger is placed under ar
rest.
The check was cashed at Roseville,
Ohio, where Clayton was employed by
Young & Cline, contracting drillers.
Clayton is a tool dresser and a drill
er. He was traced to Pennsboro, W.
Va, where his parents live; from
there he was traced to Nevada, Mo-,
from there to Birmingham, TO New
Orleans, then to Winfield, La, next
to Shreveport, then to Wichita Falls
and from the Texas oil town to Ard
more. He arrived here November 16,
and took a room at the Campbell
rooming house, stayed here a week
and went to the oil fields and found
work with driller John S. Sankey.
Charley Jones, the Hewitt constable,
effected the arrest at Cornish Satur-
day night and brought him here Sun
day night. and placed him in the Car
ter county jail. The bank in Ohio was
wired TO. and the Pinkerton detective,

Clayton is a young man of %, a
good worker, very intelligent, drinks
but little, has a profession or trade
that pays him from Sc to 81 a day
He says he will waive extradition and
go with the Pinkerton man to the
place where he is accused of doing
wrong. Clayton has worked in this
state at Okmulgee, Gushing, Bartles-
Vile, Marietta and other places where
oil fields exist. 1t is alleged that he
committed forgeries both at Gushing
and at Marietta.
Clayton has a wife to whom he was
married two or three years ago, but
was with another woman who wept
bitterly, at Cornish, when he was ta-
ken away.

c. +. Colcord, who has been in

before the IIealdton wells We're
brought in acquired acreages in that
section some months ago. He played
the field southeast from the Loco
gas wells and took a heavy acreag
northwest and southeast and acquired
some holdings midway which is now
in the Healdton field Later deyel-
opmerts prove that he played the
game pretty well. In speaking of the
Healdton field Mr.. Colcord said as
soon As the roads get in condition
Tor travel that the field will be
rapidly developed and in his opin-
ion will be developed faster than
any other field in the state. He con-
siders leases and drilling both too
high. but says those things exist
in every field and will justify them
selves. The drillers must have a
better price until the sands are To-
Gated and the field understood.
Leases will finally adjust themselves
with reference to prices when the
field is once defined.

ElYls Priest

On the morning Of December
30, 1919, there passed from life
one Of the tenderest spirits that
ever dwelt in the heart on man.
The life of Elvis Priest was sun
shine and happiness reigned in all
its splendor there. The sweet
dove of happiness fiuttered by bis
tireside and life was d song Of
peace and JOY.
When Elyis Priest died, life
of usefulness went out, and an
other soul was added to the throng
that had crossed the river. His
dear ones and his friends will be-
moan his loss and while the voice
that sounded only in tender tones,
is silenced forever more. There
is happiness and solacc in the hope
that we will meet again and grasp
the hand Of friendship, loyal and
true, and look into bis brave and
loving eyes and see again the love
and LOYALTY that made him SO dear
to US on earth.
He believed in charity in its
broadest sense, no appeal to him
ever went unanswered, Many
kind deeds to those III sorrow are
written on his page Of life. Loved
here on earth his he lory vii
remain a heritage TO his dear ones
and his friends. When other eyes
shall gaze upon the stars and other
voices chant their praises to the
Savior Of mankind. his name will
be whispered by many tongues as
one who loved his fellow man
peace to his ashes"

WY WOMEN LIVE LONGER
Physicians Asorlbs Fact to ! More
Sheltered Existence, for One
Thing.

Though doctors have long realized
that, thanks to better knowledge OF
sanitation and personal hygiene. peo-
pie are living longer than formerly,
the much greater relative longevity
of women, as shown in the recently
published national debt Offices re-
port on the mortality Of government
life annuitants, has come as a general
surprise.
In summary OF these figures it
was shown that the expectation Of
life Of woman OF fifty Is now more
than year greater than it was in
1875, while that Of a man Of the same
age is only about three months
greater.
Discussing the reasons Of our IN
creasing longevity. and in particular
woman's stronger hold on life, physi-
clans at St. Bartholomews hospital
advanced widely different theories.
"The essential cause Of DEATH" one
stated, lis wearing out from over
work Of our brain cells. Women may
be just as brainy az men, but they
do not work their brain cells as Wig.
orously or as continuously az do their
men relatives. If they did there
would not be so great a disparity in
the length Of life of the two sexes"
Another conSultant put down won.
ans greater expectation of life to the
more sheltered existence she leads,
and the lack Of physically depressing
competition which is part Of nearly
every mans life. "a woman may
have hard work to do" he explained,
"but, except for the few who work in
Offices or who follow professions. they
work In their own homes, and at
pace they set for themselves. The
home is also as rule vastly more
airy, sunny, and generally more whole.

THE RENTER

The man who farms one piece of
land this year and another next
year will always have a hard time
to get along and to get out Of the
one-mule class. We need in the
south fair and permanent tenant
system that will encourage young
men to farm right and to feel that
so long as they do 50 they can re-
main as permanently as though the
farm was their own. 1t is the
cropper system Of the south that
keeps men in the one-mule class.
Landowners need to understand
the proit that can be made bY
having a permanent tenantry in
comfortable homes, under a system
that is fair to both sides. We need
good farmers, tenants compelled
to farm in a systematic way, not
only for the benefit Of the tenant,
but also Of the landowner.
OF course, it is better for the
young farmer to work out his sal
walton on land that is his own, but
when one GIN only get the stock
needed he had better get fair
rental and farm on the land Of an
other till he is able to get land Of
his own. w. f. Massey, in The
Progressive Farmer.

Seriously Burned

A 6-year-old daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Moore, of the
Third district, was seriously burned
Thursday of last week. The child
being partially paralyzed and in a
helpless condition, the mother left
her in a chair while she was out Of
the room for a few minutes. In
some way the little girls dress
caught on FIRE from the stove and
the child was badly burned before
relief came. An 8-year-old sister
dashed a bucket Of water on her,
or she would have burned to death.
At last accounts the child was in d
very critical condition.

g. NJ. Holmes, a successful
farmer near Atwood, has mare
thirteen years old that has brought
him nine mule colts. These mules
were all sired by the same Jack,
and Mr.. Holmes has sold seven 81
them, bringing him 1890, and lie
has two left. He worked the mare
moderately all the time he was
raising the colts. Mr.. Holmes
thinks every farmer should own a
good mare and raise mule colt
for the market each year. We
have seen but few years when
good mules did not find a ready
sale at d fair price.
w. r. Gilbert, a member Of the
quarterly court from the Third
district, moved TO Mckenzie, leay-
ing vacancy in that district. An
election, we understand, will be
called soon to elect someone in his
place. There will likely be sew
eral candidates, and the moving Of
the voting place from Christmas
vile to Hinkledale, which was done
some time ago, will be an issue;
one faction wanting to move it
back to Christmasyille and the
other desiring it to remain where
it is. We understand the people
are very much divided on the sub
ject and at each election the issue
comes up and it makes pretty
lively contest.
