Washington Wilson told
]. +. Welborn. president OF the Colo
rado Fuel and Iron Company, that he
believed it to be the duty of the oper-
ators in Colorado to accept the basis
for the settlement of the strike pro-
posed by Federal mediators. Welborn
told the President that the operators
objected TO several points In the plan.
but the President asked that they re-
consider the question.
In answer to the objections of Wei.
born, the President declared he could
not act as the umpire between the OPP
orators and the miners and that he
felt 1t the duty of the operators to ac-
cept the plan already adopted by the
miners.
The continuance Of Federal troops
In Colorado was discussed and later It
was said the President would with
draw the troops unless a satisfactory
settlement was reached. This was not
verified, however. in official quarters.
The President had expected to re.
ceive a committee representing the in
dependent coal operators involved in
the strike. Welborn told. him that
the other operators were unable to be
present, but would write. The Presi
dent asked that Welborn tell the other
operators that he could not accept q
refusal of the plan.
Welborn presented an alternative
plan for the solution OF the strike
trouble, but the President refused to
consider it, saying that he did not be
lieve a compromise possible. The
President declared that the public In
terests demanded the end OF the strike
and that 1t was the patriotic duty oi
the mine operator to accept the pro
posal.
Welborn declared after his interview
with the President that the question
was still open and that he would report
the result OF his talk to the other oper
ators.

MRS. SARAH CRAWFORD LAID
TO REST IN CEMETERY


TO REST IN CEMETERY
The remains arrived in Oakes Sat-
urday afternoon with the relatives,
and were taken to the home Of Mrs.
Gale, where the Episcopal service was
said by the Rev. A. E. Martyr.
Being asked to say q few words to
comfort the family and friends in
their great loss he took for his text:
"For me to live is Christ and to die is
gain" Phil. 1:21. A solo, "Face to
Face" was sung by Mrs. Brown.
The family and . host Of friends
will miss Mrs. Crawford, for she was
always ready to uplift the community
by kind words and = helping hand.
Her heart, her house and hand, were
ever fresly open to help and advise
everyone. Her benefactions were nu-
merous, but nothing would wound her
modest spirit more than to have them
specified. She never let her left hand
know what her right hand was doing.
"Grant unto her eternal rest, o
Lord, and let Light perpetual shine
upon her"
Many beautiful flowers were given
by the family and friends.

CO0LIuOS0 70 0pI000 ~ SSse PS0OO1sS 49,
II will become general over the
county.
In order for everyone to be assured
Of having serum when they need Il
with which to vaccinate their herds
and secure It 1t the least cost I think
Il Is advisable for the farmers' eluhs
to call meetings and arrange TO order
serum for the use Of their members.
When there are no farmers clubs
oganised neighborhood clubs shodld
be formed for this purpose. The plan
to follow I would suggest, and one
that il in use in other places b tor all
members to contribute from SO TO $1t
to fund to be used to purchase Q
reasonable quantity Of serum q
enough to handle the first cases. A
custodian should be appointed to lock
after the serum and deal II out - e
is needed and collect for It. The orig
inal fund raised should be kept foe
purchasing new supply and this re-
turned to the contributors after The
danger has passed or retained for use
next season.. II there il no use found
for the serum ordered It can b dir
posed Of where It IL needed 20 that No
loss need occur.
tf IN organisation Is perfected thefe
b no reason why ons1os sevss1i~o9
the members can not do the vaceinat-
ing for the other members. All Of the
msulhsEs cau meet .at some appointed
place and myself or . veterinarian can
demonstrate the method.
I would suggest Il any farmer
thinks It would be advisable to form
IN organisation Of this kind in this
community he should call up his
neighbors by phone and II they are
favorable to the plan, set . date for q
meeting, let me know and I will come
and help with the plans and explain
the serum method Of treatment.
The chief reason for having IN
available supply Of serum on hand is
for the purpose Of eetting the vacci-
mating done 1t once after the first
sickness has been discovered in the
herd and before many in the herd be-
come infected. The chances Of saving
the pigs with serum after they be-
come sick is very slight unless it is
used in the very early stages Of the
disease. The owners Of the herds
where the cholera has broken out to
date, waited too long before they sus-
pected cholera and consequently the
greater portion Of their herds were
sick at the time the serum was ad-
ministered. In case anyone finds a
sick hog or pig in the herd with chol-
era SO prevalent in the county, and
can assign no other reason for the
sickness should take 1t for granted it
is cholera and use the serum on his
herd rather than to run the risk Of q
total loss.
shall continue to keep serum on
hand at Oakes and Glendale accord
ing to original plans, SO it may be OBJ
tained where farmers are not organ
lied. I would earnestly suggest how
ever, when possible to organize for
you to do 30, rs it will insure cheaper
serum and be more readily obtained.

Heaves Oft Coal;
..P;nched" For Theft

Leo Pigano was disconsolate. He
was out of work, the fire was low and
the. house chilly, and there was no fuel
in the coal shed. He sat before the
window of his home, 706 East Nevada
street, about noon Monday, and his
mind wandered off to southern Italy,
with it's sunny slopes, where the sun
furnished most of the heat needed to
keep one warm.
Then the screening of wheels and the
rumbling Of moving cars aroused him
a freight train had stopped in front
of the house, and right there in front
OF the door, so close he could almost
touch it, was whole car load Of coal,
the Jumps heaped in q black glistening
pile high ZIP on the car.
Without counting the cost Pigano
acted on the impulse. Dashing out of
the door he climbed into the car, and
while the train stood there he pitched
off lump after lump. Special OFFICER
o. D. Taylor. who arrested Pigano and
turned him over to Officer Sandvig,
thought Pigano had thrown off 300
pounds Of fuel and carried 1t into the
house.
Two or three hours later Pigano
pleaded guilty in the mayors court
and the costs were assessed against
him. The coal was probably worth
about 80 cents.

1T is UP TO THE FARMERS.
COdebolt Chronicle

The farmer is handy individual to
have around. Without him we would
be In a heluvafix, as our friend Lee
over at Lytton would say. He Is the
fellow who nurses the soil with fond
ness that a mother would lavish upon
her babe. He Is the man who furnish
es the worlds food supply. Without
him we could shove our feet under the
table three times a day, but there
would be precious little to cram down
our threats. His place in the scheme
of things is becoming more and more
recognized. We can not do business
without him. What is being demanded
Of him is that he become better farm
er; that he make his farm produce
more each and every year, and that he
conserve his soil fertility. Every year
he has more mouths to feed and not
sufficiently increased production to
supply the demand. In other words, de-
mand for foodstuffs is exceeding the
supply. Population is increasing faster
than production.
To feed the people of the world is
greater achievement than to leslslate
for them. TO paint for them to write
for them or to clothe them. The farm
err does that. He has big job. he
knows it. but he is there with the broad
shoulders ready to assume the load.
He Is studying improved farm methods
and knows it is up to him to make that
quarter shake down the best it has. he
has got to keep on the job. New paples
are coming faster than mature men
and women are going.
He is having and will have his COM
pensation. Prices for farm products
are high, and will continue to soar as
long as production does nos eaten up
with consumption. High prices make
farming profitable. Profitable Jobs are
being sought That makes demand
for land. Demand for land makes land
high. That's where part OF the farm
er's nav comes in. His land Is going
IN. 5000 an acre has been reached and
passed: $500 an acre is coming. Iney
used to laugh at the man who SAID
Sac county land would one day pc
worth 5000 an acre. They Will PROB
ably laugh when it is said the land VII
Ga il another hundred better. L. Will,
and it will one day go to $500. There is
No question about 1t. So long as pop
ulation outruns production land values
will soar. Now is the time to hGld what
land the farmer owns, and get more II
he can.
It's a great job to he farmer, ana a
profitable one. More Of our sturdy
young men who are hiking toward tne
cities and towns don't know goa
thing when they see it. The farm Is
the good thing.
