Farmers Out in Force to
Agricultural Club Meeting
MAKE REGULAR FIELD
DAY OF OCCASION
Fine New Hotel Opened Monday
Evening with Splendid
ication Banquet

mat the santa re, through lts
refusal to run trains over the
Arkansas Valley branch to this
city is depriving Rocky Ford of a
large and valuable trade that by
rights should come here, was
never so fully realized as it was
on Saturday last, when about a
. half-hundred members of the
Otero Agricultural association
amongst whom there were several
of our business people--made the
trip to Cheraw, the thriving little
metropolis of the II o br o o k
country. On every hand was to
be heard expressions of regret that
the people could. not regularly
attend the farmers club meetings,
visit the association headquarters,
nor do their trading in Rocky
Ford, because they could not come
in by train. But the greatest re-
gret of Holbrook people is that
they cannot receive the benefit of
our coming milk condensery if
the railroad people allowed the
only connecting link to be mar
row streak of rust. And even this
may soon be but an unpleasant
memory, as farmers along the for
saken portion of the road are COM
mencing to ask whether the fran
chise has not been forfeited by
the fact that train has not been
run over the road for more than
two years. The suggestion that
Rocky Ford businessmen ''get
busy" and extend helping hand
to the Holbrook farmers by get
ting this road opened is undoubt-
edly worthy Of consideration, and
a means toward this end would be
to hold out some inducement to
the Missouri Pacific to come this
way with its proposed road to the
southwestern coal fields.
The district meeting at Cheraw
on Saturday was one of the most
interesting and instructive of any
of the meetings held for some
time.
The beet contract for 1914 was
explained by the agriculturists
from the A. B. S. and Holly
Sugar companies, who answered
many questions regarding the
situation which the farmers will
be in the coming season.
w. r. Dye gave lengthy and
very interesting talk on the breed
ing of better horses in the valley,
his remarks being illustrated ny II
number of cuts.
c., b. Sherwood spoke on the
subject of dairy cattle, touching
upon the paying breed for dairy
use and answered a number of
questions bringing out several
points that were of interest to the
keepers of stock.
The afternoon was sort of field
day at Cheraw, there being out
door basket ball games and bronco
busting with all the rest of the
interesting things.
Next Saturday at the regular
meeting of the association the
subject will be 1.-The wasted BIZ
products of the farm and factory"
and there will be several speakers
ON the subject.

Several from this city, amongst
the number being Mr.. and Mrs.
A. S. Beymer, G. NJ. Hall and

Why?
Inflated values-quoting real estate and selling
it at than it is worth.
History demonstrates that inflated values al
ways result in crash.
This holds true in advertisng-the store that
holds to honest values lives while those who in
tate values fall by the way.

tain some very interesting and reliable for the

Beachey Says Trans-A tiantic
Flight in Ajrslip Must Fail

and the America" should be sea :
soned, hardy machine itself. 1t should
be thoroughly tried out, and be able
to "go like hell" There should be
auxiliary power, so the America"
would go go, go!
This is my honest opinion. If am
wrong, / will rejoice with Lieutenant
Porte and his companions. But the
we'll wishers of aviation-those who
even pray for it's success-must not
place more than blind faith in the
attempt. They must be ready any day
for an announcement that the entire
scheme has been abandoned. The
"alibi" in the daily news concerning
the America" is ever present to avn
ations initiated.
When will the ocean be crossed?
Perhaps in 1915 or 16. Europeans
have not been as hasty as Americans.
Noted foreign designers are at work
on a trans Atlantic aeroplane. They
build and destroy, build and destroy
but each building and each destruction
means progress. With the evolution OF
the craft is coming an evolution OF the
aviatorS, training themselves by flights
ever increasing in distance and rigor
and hardship. But both man and ma
chine are being perfected by months
and months of progressive destruc-
ton" When the Intelligent prepara-
ton is completed then--and not until
then-may we expect the Atlantic to
be crossed via the air lanes.

New York. July 13.-CommercialiZed
use of Christian Science teaching was
held by the appellate division of the
supreme court to be Illegal.
The conviction in a lower court OF
Willis Vernon Cole. for practicins
medicine without license, when he
accepted fees for Christian Science
trea tment. was sustained The higher
court, in its opinion, answered in the
negative, its premise:
Is the commercialized Use of prayer
for the avowed purpose OF II eating all
persons seeking cure for All kinds of
bodily ills the practice of the religious
tenets of church,
Cole. formerly a sculptor and poet.
testified at his trial that his practice
brought him an annual income of
$4,000; that he had never studied medi-
cine; that he<never solicited fees, but
accepted those offered MIN.
Clifford S. Smith, of the committee
on publication of the Christian Sci
ence church. issued a statement later
tan Science differed from the prac-
tice of medicine and that it could not
be made the same by Jaw.
Ii was announced that in all prob
ability the case will be appealed. The
appeal probably viii! be based upon a
dissenting opinion, rendered by Justice
Bowling, saying that if cole INDUCED
simply in silent prayer with his pa
tient, there was nothing unlawful in
the act, as by SO doing Cole might
honestly believe he was assisting the
cure of the alleged patients by placing
his patients in the proper spiritual
attitude toward their maker

REPRESENTATIVE Cattle Sales.
The CHICAGO Horse Market.

There was very little doing on the
horse line Saturday. Fresh arrivals
we're very light and city trade was
small. Shippers bought about all they
wanted during the week and only few
were taken for outside demandI on the
closing market Trade was slow most
days of the week.
Weeks receipts totaled many more
than generally expected The decline
in prices put into force last week was
expected to cause a small liquidation
but this was not the case. Prices held
about steady with last weeks finish
but the decline effected during that
time is still in order Farm work Is
expected to cause a lighter run during
the coming week and with good de.
mand, prices should recover some Of
the loss they suffered.

Chicago July 13-Hogs prices
jumped to SO today, the first time in
months
Hot weather delayed transactions in
cattle.
The course OF the market this week
has been irresistibly upward. Buyers
made strenuous effort 10 check this
trend on Monday and paid 10c ad-
vance srudGingly. On Tuesday an at
mospheric disturbance was in evidence
early and commencement OF purchas-
ing operations was not deferred until
near noon as was the case recently.
A scramble developed at a 10@15c ad-
vance and many statesmen had cleaned
up in time for dinner whereas mat
inee session has been necessary to eff
feet clearance for weeks past. Thurs
day the market was up another notch
and on Friday buyers displayed a keen
appetite for the few cattle available.
The TOP has gone to 1915, equal to
the years high point. while stillers
have scored at $3.50. Tops do not show
the lofty altitude of the market. now
ever as such little cattle as went peg
cling around 1915 on the low spot last
week have made $3.50 on>the bulge ana
$3.50 bullocks late this week were the

Sheep.
Packers were unusually slow ABOUT
buying sheep and lambs.
Stacks of orders for feeding ewes
are accommodating in commission OF
fees. They fed profitably last winter
and protiting by their neighbors ex-
perience everybody wants them. Ewes
put in at 3d3A cents last fall returned
to the market fat TO realize 64612 cents
with the wool on. Thin wethers taken
ont last fall at s4.25 a 4.50 have sold
fat at s6.75G725 Seldom have sheep
feeders made such a killing" and a
good summer market for all tim
range stuff is certain.
A year ago this coming week chi
cago received 10s,s5S head OF sheep
and lambs which was the second lars
est weeks supply TO arrive during the
first seven months Of 1913, but more
natives, more southerners and more
rangers were received then than are
thought likely TO arrive here next week.
The local supply of the past week mas
been the second smallest since Fourth
of July week, 1913, and if the run OF
southern lambs falls down, as is not
improbable, receipts for the coming
week are not likely to show any very
material increase over the week now
closing. Another week will about clean

will come much more freely.

Relics contained there prove that gold
