Will Turn Over Much
Sod On The Rayado
Company Buys Gas Tractor, Flows
and Separator; viii Use 1t On
The Ranch Extensively.

The Rayado Colonization COM
pany last week received a gas trac-
tion engine and SO inch separator
which they purchased in North
Dakota fro parties at that place
and had it shipped to Cimarron,
from where it was taken to the
Rapado Ranch Sunday.
With the outfit came a gang
plow with which eight burrows can
be turned simultaneously. The
engine and plow will be used at
once to break up a large body of
virgin soil on the ranch and put in
a large acreage of grain and other
staple crops. The mesa will be
practically all ploughed up this
spring and sown to crops. This
body of land contains several
thousand acres, and as much as
can be ploughed will be put under
a high state of cultivation and sold
to farmers. The company antici-
pates the sale OF all mesa land dur
ing the present year, and no doubt
the land will be farmed next year
by many prosperous families.

Local Showers
Conducive To
Good Crops

Showers visited this section on
Wednesday as well as some hail
and minor electrical storms in the
atmosphere. The showers, while
they were of short durations, have
been very beneficial to the farmers,
fruit growers and ranchers, who
will not be compelled to irrigate
for some time. The soil contains
large amount of moisture at this
time, and it is thought by irriga-
tionists that one irrigation will be
sufficient this year for big crops.

AN ARCHITECT

IN A CIRCUS
That is the Record of the Chief
Fun Maker in Big Shows

From the life work of anarchitectI
to that of a circus clown is a long
lump, but one which was made by
Fred Egener, principal clown with the
Hagenbeck-Wallace circus which
comes to Clnrksburg Thursday, May
Z for two performances. For fifteen
years he was past master or blue
prints in his Chicago office. He was
very successful and he drew the plans
and superintended the construction OF
many buildings. One day circus
came to Chicago, and, like hundreds
of Others, he thought he would have 70

ed the clowns and underneath their
make-un he saw the seriousness with
which they worked. 1t impressed MN.
Leaving the show grounds he began
to think about the clowns. He went 70
the public library and dug up books
&c far hack as those which dwelt with
the DAYS of the circus in the Roman
Coliseum. He read about Grtmaldi
and other ancient buttons. Then ne
began to work out stunts and tricks.
He placed them on paper and oevel-
oned them stage by stage. He FOUND
a veteran clown who assisted MIN IN
his work. Finally he got JOB WIN

But Egener liked the work; tnaI 20, o.

deveIoped were really marvellous. They
were totally different from ordinary
clowns stunts. A scout of the Hagen
beck-Wallace circus saw Mr.. Egener
and Immediately gave him contract
For eight years he has been "clownin
for a Twin" as Mr.. Egener terseiy
expresses it and apparently he IS IN
love with the fapsticks.

rates according TO the hazard OF the
industry but In no case more than ~
on the 800 Of pay roll, which Is far
too low for some forms of dangerous
employment, and about fifty per cent
too low for. coal mining. The rates
are Justly as low as ten cents In some
non-hazardous trades.
The law went into effect October !,
1913, and by the end Of March, 1915
there were 100 employers paying
premiums into the state Insurance.

Nothing is paid for. the first two weeks

About twenty-five per cent OF all
cases are SO small that they do not
need medical attention. In October
there were thirty-three fatal cases
leaving eighteen widows, thirty-four
children and six dependent parents
living: and. in-s eight cases there
we're no dependents found. In De-
cember the number of death cases was
thirty-eight.
The Indiana Rate
In Indiana the rate for employers
liability insurance for coal mining
is 81. As on the 800 of pay roll. While
the rate in Ohio under state insur-
ance is $1.35.
In October $4,000 was collected IN
premiums in this state and the amount
paid out and the amount esttmatea
necessary for the payment on the
claims then on file was $72,258.
Thus a deficit of $2,25S was left but
in November the premium received
$4,000 and the payments made ana
estimated for future were only sos, SVi;
thus leaving surplus. About l,zOO
claims are being received month:
