Des Moines. June 10.-The saloon
business is in a bad way not only in
Des Moines, but thruout the state. Six
ty per cent OF the dealers in Des
Moines has either been losing money
or just barely able to meet expenses
Twenty per cent are making little.
but not enough to make the business
inviting. Twenty per cent ere making
good money, but not nearly so much
as they were making two years ago.
The foregoing is the opinion Of r. w.
Wolverton, president Of the Retail
Liquor Dealers Association. The drop
in business began Immediately follow
ing the last state fair. Wolverton says
two saloons have recently changed
hands and several others are anxious
to get out.
The state law changing the hours 5
o'clock to 10 o'clock p. m. to from Z
o'clock a. m. to o'clock p. m, Is the
cause says Wolverton. The cutting off
Of the two morning hours make little
difference, but the loss Of the hour at
night has knocked out the biggest
business Of the day.

BETTER COWS

Will Be Topic at Farmers
Meeting Tomorrow
C0NDENSERY COMMITTEES
WILL ALSO MAKE REPORT
About Proposed Milk Condenslng
Plant at This Meeting

AT the meeting of the Otero
County Agricultural association to
be held Saturday the principal
subject will be Better Cows. IL
subject in which hundreds in this
valley gre interested at the present
time.
j. NJ. Shaulis, who has Just re-
turned from three weeks trip
east and who brought with him n
fine lot of registered young stock,
will tell of his experiences in the
several markets which he visited
and will be able to give to those
interested a great number of valu-
able points.
1t is also expected that Mr..
Becksted of Fowler will be here to
tell the members something about
better horses.
The members of the committee
who have made the canvass for
cows for the condensery are re-
quested to bring in their reports,
SO that a general report can be
made at this meeting, which every
member should attend.
Test Your Seed
Every farmer should make
test of all the seed that he is to use
to be sure that sufficient amount
of 1t will germinate.( The Crop
Improvement Committee of the
Council of Grain Exchanges has.
prepared n simple and sure test
which can be made by anyone and
which they claim will pay every
farmer to try out.
Secretary Miller of the Agri-
cultural association has been fur
nished the material for making Il
large number of these tests and
will be very glad to explain to
those interested just how to make
the test. 1t is simple and cannot
fail to show just what percentage
of the seed is strong, weak or
dead.
With this test, which costs
nothing, it is the farmers fault if
he uses poor seed.

priation bill, and will create state road
fund to which fund will go the proceeds

This bill is now in the hands of Assist
ant Attorney General F. L. Bouck. and
it is expected that his report will be
made within a few days. Immediately
the petitions circulated for the necessary
signatures.
The membership campaign now being
carried on by the Colorado Good Roads

ton were formally filed with the secre-
tary of state during the past week.
During the next two months. when the

RUNS OVER HERSELF
Mrs. l.amon MiracmousIy Escapes
Fatal Injury from Automobile

1t is not often that a person has an
automobile experience such as befell
Mrs, Matte Swink Hulse-Lamon on
Saturday evening and yet lives to tell the
tale.
While acting as Chauffeur of her mothers
REQ the Fifth. Mrs. Lamon had taken a
party of friends to the tabernacle and
had "killed her engine" before getting her
car lined up where she wished it. The
united strength of the party not availing
to move the machine Mrs. Lamon gave
the crank twist when the car seeming
ly sprang npon her and knocked her
down.
The front wheel of the machine passed
over Mrs Lannon's body. but by quick
movement she escaped the hind wheel
ana to this is attributed the fact that no
bones were broken. though she was so
severely injured about the shoulders and
body that she was confined to her bel
until Wednesday and is yet suffering con-
siderable pain.
After running over Mrs. Lamon the car
started to demolisn Walter Cheeks
residence but desistsd after break
ing a couple of cement gate posts
short off and zigzagged across the street
finally coming to halt against the alley
fence at the rear of Or. Wofe's residence.
apparently none the worse for the rude
bumps received.
