A Good Suggestion for Colorado

Farmers.
George w. Bruce passed through
the city Friday on his way to his home
at Delta from trip to Kansas City.
He represented Delta county at the
Ogden gateway hearing at Denver
ard then took trip back to Kansas
City. He says he saw all kinds of
prosperity signs in Kansas City and
all along the line through Kansas.
The Kansas farmers have harvested
mammoth wheat crop and wheat has
brought good price filing the pock-
cts of the growers with automobile
rfoney.
"And right there" says Mr.. Bruce,
is where we folks ought to get rid
of our apples and potatoes. In large
section of Kansas the farmers do not
Pretend to grow potatoes and apples.
Their specialities are wheat and corn,
and when they have good year with
good prices like this year they have
The extra money to buy apples and
potatoes"
Mr.. Bruce says there is move
mens on foot among the farmers of
Kansas, which, if properly followed up
by our apple and potato growers,
pro, rises long step in the direction
Of solving the marketing problem for
cur growers on the one hand the pur-
chasing problem for the Kansas farm
ers en- the other hand.
The farmers in Kansas are forming
what are termed farmers clubs for
the purchasing of articles they con-
rune but do not produce themselves.
1rat is enough farmers in neigh
torhood go together to buy carload
OF apples or potatoes. They get in
touch with the producer and order in
carload lots distributing to the mem
bers of the club the amount they de-
sire charging for the same just what
they cost.
Mr.. Bruce believes with Rev. Phil
lips that Montrose and Delta counties
could dispose of all Of their apples
and potatoes to the Kansas farmers
on plan of this kind. 1t certainly
looks as though this idea should be
given careful consideration. With the
farmers of Kansas already organic
ing for the purpose of getting in
touch with the growers of apples and

1t appears that insurance men, or
rather their patrons, will have occa-

war tax. Nearly every kind of busi-
ness that comes in the insurance line
is subject to tax and of course the
consumer must foot the bill, as the
companies have notified their agents
they will not meet the extra expense,
but it must be collected from the
purchaser of the policy and included
in his premium. All policies, except
those for life insurance, must bear a
stamp, ranging in value from half
cent to dollar, depending upon the
