TAKES ANoTHER's WIFE

The Mexican population is
slightly annoyed this week over
the fact that Luis Grammar, who
has been visiting around here for
severalweeks, borrowed the wife,
child, clothes and $50 in cash of
Juan Aguila and departed on No.
8 Monday afternoon, buying a
ticket for Newton, Kansas. the
borrowing" being done without
the consent of Aguila.
Aguila has been employed on
the local section gang for the
past year and is an industrious
citizen, while Mrs. Aguila is one
of the handsomest Mexican wo-
men ever seen in these parts, be-
ing almost white of complexion
and of the Spanish type.
The main reason for the annoy
ance is the fact that Grammar
succeeded in getting the clothes
and the cash, the Slight matter
of running off with another mans s
wife being of no great Importance
to the average Mexican.

manner you are under no obliga-

just watch the year 1914 go
down in history as the year of
the big crops in southeastern Col
orado."
This is the outlook now, and
there is no reason for anyone to
believe otherwise than that the
above prediction will come true.
Splendid rains of the past week
have been quite general, and in
sections where moisture was
most needed, the rainfall seemed
heaviest. A good soaking rain
fell Sunday afternoon and night
in the valley, and in the vicinity
of Holly the ground took up all
the moisture readily, reports
from all directions indicate that
this rain covered the entire val
ley. This rain was followed by
one Monday, and a good one
Wednesday night all extended
into the dry farming section to
the north and south and the
laugh some folks have been i'm
agining they have been having
on the dry farmers has changed
to a laugh with them. This fall
when the harvest comes these
homesteaders will be the people
with the coin. Everything looks
fine out in the dry farming sec
ton now. The range is nice and
green and the ground is full of
moisture, and works nicely.
Everybody is busy putting in
crops.
In the irrigated section the
rain was a great help also, as It
gives chance for the ditch
water to be turned into the res
erviors for future use, should it
be needed later in the summer.
Out at the beet ranch the irriga-
tors had been busy for several
days, handling several big heads
of water. Superintendent Max
ey and his excellent force worked
day and night irrigating on this
3,4OO acre tract, and are now
busy blowing and putting the
ground in condition for spring
planting. Not many beets are to
be pat out this year in compari-
son to the large acreage of some
years, but other crops are being
planted. Quite a bit of alfalfa
is being raised on the beet farm
and it all looks fine.
One thousand feet Of water
was turned into the Kicking Bird
reservoir this week and there
will be an abundant supply of
water when it is needed for irri-
cation purposes.
All up and down the valley the
alfalfa fields indicate that there
is going to be a big crop Of that
splendid hay. Wheat, oats and
such crops are all doing nicely
and the fields are beautiful sights.
The range is in good condition
and the stock men are pleased
now that they have good grass
and plenty of water.
Reports from down south in
Baca county are that the rains
were good down toward SPRING
field, and over toward Two
Buttes. In western Kansas the
rain was quite heavy. A gentle
man from Lakin says that Sun
day night they had over three
inches of rain there. In some
places there was a little hail, but
not enough to do any damage.

PAYING THEM OFF

In this issue appears a notice
of the town treasurer calling for
the redemption of several thous-
and dollars worth of sewer bonds,
and this item reflects in small
measure the prosperity of the
city.
These bonds are being redeem
ed long before they are due, in
order that the interest on them
may be saved to the town. This
makes over one fourth of the to-
tai issue now called in, and the
amount does not affect the city
treasury in any manner, this be-
ing slight surplus that has ac-
cumulated from the ordinary
revenue fund.
Other towns might do we'll to
use Holly as an example in the
question of municipal ownership
of both light and water plants,
as it is mainly through the reve-
nue. derived from these two in
dustries that the town is able to
meet all it's bills promptly and.
besides have all monies needed
to make Improvements on streets,

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutions
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you can hear a
r1mbling sound or imperfect hearip g
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the. result, end unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
