Dslly Pay Cheek for Farmers

The bane Of the farmers life of this
locality is the absence Of the daily
pay check: The lapse of time between
pay checks is entirely too great when
a farmer must wait until late in the
fall before there is any money coming
into his till
The reason that one out of every
five of the farmers of Kansas is driv-
ing in his own automobile is the fact
that their butter and eggs provide for
them daily pay check. The successful
farmers of our acquaintance back in
Missouri are the farmers who keep up
their running expenses from the but
ter and eggs. thus giving them the
earnings from their big crops as their
net profit.
This is the reason that a dairying
country is usually prosperous one
the daily pay check. Just think what
it would mean if every farmer and
fruit grower in this locality could keep
up all of his running expenses from
a daily pay check, such as derived
from eggs and cream. Wouldn't we
be sailing on the high seas of pros
perity II all of the money received in
this valley this year from our pota
toes, apples, onions. etc, was clean
profit?Why not bring such a condition
to pass?
In fact there is strong movement
in that direction right now plainly
manifest in our midst 1t is mighty
good symptom and it is the duty of
the farmer to produce these things
which are looked upon somewhat as
byproducts, and it is the duty of the
business end Of the community to see
that the farmers are provided with
healthy market for all of their pro-
ducts.
We have yet considerable ways to
go before the farmers produce all of
these byproducts which the immediate
community consumes. When the time
comes when the supply is larger than
the local demand it will be up to the
community to provide the necessary
means for converting the raw mater
ial into staple marketable goods A
condensing factory for the surplus
milk; canning factory for the sur
plus fruit and vegetables; packing
house for the meats: starch factory
for the surplus potatoes, etc, are some
of the ways.
All these are daily check producers
for the farmers and there are the
greatest opportunities in the world in
these lines in our own locality.-Mont-
rose Enterprise.

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES

Remember the ". II. NJ. &. meeting
at the home OF Mrs. Cook this Thurs
day.
This Sunday will BE- Communion Sun
day and the Sacrament will be admin
istered at the morning service. All
who love our Lord In sincerity and
truth are invited to join with Us In
celebrating His Passion and Death.
How much are We indebted to our
Choir and Orchestra. Perhaps We do
not realize sufficiently how much time
and labor all the good music We hear
costs. Let US show our appreciation
by supporting the Home Talent play
they are giving this week on Friday.
Arrangements are being made to
take care Of the little ones in the base
ment of the Church during the services
on Sunday. The basement is we'll
warmed and made comfortable and
fely in charge of those who will be
there to receive them. ..
Another one has dropped out of our
ranks to join the Church Triumphant
above. For IS years Brother Flora
was loyal and consistent member of
our church and now he rests from
his labor and his works do follow him.
He left a good testimony behind. such
as leaves the bereaved in no doubt
that he is with the Lord"
What day last Sunday was to the
one before it. The warm genial sun
shine brought many out to church and
all our services were largely attend
ed. The Sunday School attendance
went way beyond the mark we once set
there were 237 present. This is
splendid and makes US feel that we can
well set our mark now to another
half century. Both the morning and
evening congregations were large and
as we foresaw the Epworth League
Room overflowed. The Contest was
keen making the League meeting
bright and interesting. So far the
Whites are ahead by 40 marks-will
they keep the lead? The puppies are
going to make a big effort this week
and the final victory is not yet Ow-
ing to the large number expected.
the Epworth League meeting will be
held in the Auditorium of the church
this Sunday, the Whites on the left
and the Purples in the middle aisle.

Generally speaking. we are strictly

everyone has the right to get married
if they so desire. The ordinary new

they have no particular interest and
usually the newlyweds are very glad
and do so without the ACCOMMODATING

plane than the beating of tom toms.
And while our youngsters in this par

TOURISTS ARE COMING

r. J. Dobell, Secretary Of the North
EAstern Colorado Lincoln Memorial
aad State Highway Associatioa. at
Julesburg. Colorado. has information
that thousands of tourists are now
planning to make their western trip
h 1914 over the new "Lincoln Way"
and while the Lincoln Highway will
not be completed this year. several
million dollars worth of improve
ments will be made ON the route as
soon as the weather permits. Seed
ling" or demonstration miles will
probably be laid in all the western
states as object lessons in perman-
est roads.
The object of the Northeastern Col
orado Lincoln Memorial and State
Highway Association is to see that this
great tourist traffic follows over their
route from Big Springs. Nebr., to
Greeley. Colorado. and they want the
cooperation of County Commissioners
Commercial Bodies and individuals
along the route in the appropriation of
funds for the building and maintain
ance Of this route and In seeing that
not only good roads are made but
that they are kept good.
The Board of Directors of the AS
ISOLATION, composed of two members
from each of the Counties of Weld
Morgan, Washington, Logan and Sedg-
wick, will soon make tour of inspec-
tion of the road from Big. Springs
Nebr, to Greeley, Colorado, with the
purpose of offering suggestions as to
the work necessary to be done the
coming year, and the proper working
Of the road. They will be glad to
meet as many of the citizens as pos
sible along the route and will be glad
Of any suggestions as to advertising
the road and the country through
which 1t passes to our Automobile
friends in the East
This route from the time it enters
the Gateway to Colorado" on the
east until it ends at Greeley, passes
through the richest irrigated section OF
Colorado. All of, the larger towns
are equipped with fine garages and
hotels, practically every six miles
there is telegraph and express sta
tion, and rural telephones line the
entire distance; and from Greeley the
traveller can diverge, going to Denver
and the South, to Estes Park and
other mountain resorts, to Cheyenne
and on to the Yellowstone Park and
to the Coast.
No other road offers half the advan-
tages to the tourist and we can, in
stead Of losing rs per cent of the traf-
fic as we have in the past, get 80 per
cent of it if every one along the route
will Boost ''It takes money to make
the mare 60" Individual member
ships are $1.00 per year, Commercial
Clubs $500 per year. Whep the Board
of Directors make their first tour of
inspection, they should be made to feel
that our citizens are ready to help
make this great movement a success.
