ONE MAN MAKES
CHICKENS PAY WELL

Mr. c. A. Biggs was going into
Denver the other day from his ranch
On the train was a man carrying a
couple OF baskets OF eggs and in a
little talk these facts came out:
The egg man has a three-acre trae,
near Mr.. Biggs' big farm. One acre
Is given up TO chickens. He has
800 chickens on the acre Of ground.
Last year the man netted 1915 from
his chickens. That is exactly s3.O5
net for each chicken on the acre of
ground.
That is an extra good profit and
more than many folks make But II
can be done And money can be made
or every Canon City orchard IL the
people would go into chickens.
This man that Mr.. Biggs tells OF
has learned the business. He knows
how to get the best results. He knows
how to save little expenses and mar
ket to the best advantage. He has fig
ured II out closely. He says. for In
stance. that It cost him s5 cents a
year to feed Leghorn and sl.10 70
si.20 a year TO feed a Plymouth
Rock or r. ]. Red.
There is just as much money in
chickens in Canon City as there ia
near Denver.

WHOLESALE
THEFT OF
BICYCLES
! THURSDAY

While Ralph Mills. Philip wilkin
and George Godding. students at the
Canon City high school. we're attend
ing class recitation last Thursday
afternoon each had a bicycle stolen
from the front OF the high school
building The wheels were selected
by the thieves from a bunch OF such
machines parked at the foot of the
steps leading up to the main entrance
OF the building and were all in first
class condition.
Later the Godding boys wheel was
abandoned near the intersection Df
Tenth street and Greenwood avenue
and one stolen from the lawn in front
o. the residence OF DIR. and Mrs. Hart
Goodloe and ridden off in its stead.
The affair was reported to Marshal
Cramer and the police authorities at
Florence. Rockvale and Coal Creek
we're requested TO keep lookout for
the thieves and arrest them II posi-
BILE. As no one appears to have seen
the wheels taken. a description Of
those who rode them away could not
be obtained. although there is rea-
son to believe that they werestolen
by boys fifteen or sixteen years of
age.
A. NJ. Harrar, who lives on Four
Mile. reports seeing three boys on BIZ
cycles passing his place in the diree-
zion of Florence about 2;30 o'clock
Thursday afternoon and 1t is thought
that they may have been the guilty
parties. Mr. Harrar paid but little at
teution to the boys In question. as BIZ
cycle travel along the road there Is
very common. and is unable to give
very clear description of the boys
referred to.
The theft OF bicycles from racks in
the public streets is altogether of too
frequent occurrence and the police
are determined to put a stop to it If
they can.
In the case of the wheels stolen
Thursday the authorities are inclined
to think that they will be recovered
IN the course OF a few days. They are
o: the opinion that they were ridden
u few miles out OF town by mischiev-
ious boys and discarded at the road
side to forestall the possibility OF be-
ing found with stolen property N

The directors of Imperial Irrigation
District are considering proposal to
put the Colorado river back in its
old channel by the closure of the Bee
river break, which has been submit
ted by the C-M Company and in which
it is proposed to have the work done
by C. X. Clarke. In investigating the
proposal party visited the scene of
the work yesterday and the directors
will meet tomorrow to consider the
proposal.
The party yesterday consisted of
Directors w. O. Hamilton, c. W..

Mcbride, Secretary Berry and As
sistant Secretary McIver, of the lr-
rigation District; Superintendent Car
berry of Water Company No. l.; Sid
ney McHarg of the C-M Company;
Bayless Walker and Pitt Hamilton.
There have been two general plans
proposed for controlling the water of
the Colorado-one to close the break
in the river and force the water down
the old channel, and the other to re-
build the Volcano Lake levee, leaving
the water to flow at will over the
lower delta country.

DESCRIBES WAR
SITUATION TODAY
(By Hilaire Belloc)

foremost Military Expert in Europe( {
London, Nov. 9.-The situation in
the European campaign at this mo-
ment may be summarized as follows:
First, the most important of all,
to wit, whether the Austro-German
offensive in the eastern field, that is,
Poland, would succeed and could hold
up the Russian march toward the
west has now been to all appearances
definitely decided against the Ger
manic allies.
Ever since the Germans were beat
en- on their left flank in front of
Warsaw the issue was really deter
mined in the eyes of all critics. But
an interval between events sometimes
predetermines military results. In this
case the issue fingered for nearly a
fortnight after the turning of the
German flank at Warsaw.
The Germans were forced to re-
treat from the middle Vistula when
their flank was turned, but the upper
Vistula and the whole course of the

Want to Enter Britain.

'' Flushing, Nov. 9.-An English
woman who has arrived here from
Germany on her way home says that
when she called on the authorities at
Hamburg for the necessary permit to
leave, civic officer of Importance
asked her why she was leaving. She
told him she thought she would be
safer in her own country.
"You are quite wrong" said the
official. "You will be much safer in
Germany, because we shall be in Eng
land very shortly"
Speaking seriously and confidential
ly, he said that nothing could stop
the German invasion. Calais would be
taken in week and a scheme had
been prepared, he said, to insure the
safe crossing of German transport 5
This belief, the English woman de-
clared, was confidently held among
all classes in Hamburg during the
last week or so. Nothing else has
been talked about but the coming in
vasion of England, commencing with
a raid by the Zeppelins.

I'll Centro Wins Seasons
Z .4s First Game; Score 2 to l

From present indications baseball
is going to be a popular sport in the
valley for the rest Of the winter.
Something over thousand baseball
hungry fans attended both games.
One could not ask for, better base
ball than was played at Brawley and
Imperial and if games like those of
yesterday keep up all the parks will
have to increase their seating ca
pacity.
Brawley scored first in the Ell
Centro-Brawley game, Daniels being
given a free pass by Schneider, ad-
vanced to second by Cutshaw sacri-
ficing and brought home by a single
by Getz. Schneider was pitching
great ball, but Bill Cornett wanted
both men to work, so Kantleher re-
lieved him in the fourth inning.
In the fifth frame Gardner was
given a free pass to first and came
home on Irish Meusel's three-base
hit. Meusel beat the throw-in from
Baerwald's 8 long fly to right field,
scoring the run that won the game.

been considered very expensive, but it
is now held that this work can be
done in sections in a way that will
make it effective. ...
C. X. Clarke, who was engineer in
charge of closing the second break in
the Colorado and who later was su-
perintendent of Water Company No.
i, has been making a study of the
situation and has a plan for turning
the entire flow of the Colorado
through the valley intake gate at time
of low water, then using 200 four
horse teams with fresnos and closing
the break before the water rises
again. 1t is proposed to extend the
levee this winter six miles, carrying
it past the Pescadero river to a point
from which it is expected to find it's
way down the old channel.
1t appears that at a point short
distance below the old break consider
able waste water from the Yuma ir-
rigation system flows into the old
channel and finds its way down that
channel to the gulf. 1t is proposed
to open with fresnos a small chan
mel from the break to this point, leav-
ing the water to cut the channel to
meet its own requirements.

San river was still doggedly held by
the Austrians. They even made some
advance on their extreme right wing
against the extreme Russian left in
the Carpathians. But last week it
became increasingly apparent that
the situation could no longer be saved
by the German commanders.
In the first place, the towns named
by official communiques, both Ger
man and Russian, day after day, in
dicated that continual retreat was
in progress by the Germans back up
on the line of the River Warta, that
is toward their own frontier.
In the second place, the all-import-
ant rest point of Sandomir was taken
by the Russians at the beginning of
this week. That is where the two riv-
ers join, the San and the Vistula, and
whoever has that point commands the
lower San river itself.
The Russians began pouring back
across this river during the first days
of the week and have done it as
thoroughly in the south as they have
in the north. Dispatches that come
in from the Russian commander, Grand
Duke Nicholas, to General Joffre, in
dicate complete success.
This does not mean that the forces
in front of the Russians have beer
routed or divided. We must have fur.
ther evidence to Judge of the extent
of the Russian success, but it does
mean that Germany cannot spare any
