TO THE COMMISSIONERS

Several complaints have been
made to this Office regarding the
condition of roads in this county,
these persons claiming that they
are in a frightful condition.
On account of the number of
these complaints The Chieftain
believes that these parties are in
the right, and that our road are
being neglected.
There is no valid reason why
this section should not have as
good roads as any in the state.
Were the roads dragged at inter-
walls and not allowed to go such a
great length Of time without at
tention it would be a compare
lively easy matter, and a cheap
one, to keep them in good condi-
ton.
Therefore we ask that you give
this matter your immediate at
tention, and in so doing you will
receive the thanks of the major
ity Of the people of the county.

PRowERs COUNTY FAIR

By far the best fair ever held
in this section was that at Lamar
last week, the agricultural pro-
ducts display being by far the
largest and best ever exhibited,
while the sporting program was
as good as one could wish.
The exhibit from the Holly
section, which had been prepared
by the Holly Milling & Elevator
Co., under the direction of Mr..
H: 2. Lague, and the school ex-
hibit, prepared by Supt. Clewell,
wese especially attractive and
received much favorable COM
ment, they being the center of
attraction of the exhibits. The
exhibits have done much toward
attracting attention here.
The best attended day was
Thursday. The entire grounds
were crowded. it being almost an
impossibility to get a seat in
either boxes. grand stand or
bleachers. Holly was especially
well represented that day. the
trains carrying up large numbers
and many auto parties making
the trip.
The only disappointing feature
of the whole fair was the failure
of the much-heralded girl avia-
trix to make any fights, she hav-
ing damaged her machine in her
first attempt to such an extent
that same could not be repaired.
The crowds were greatly disap-
pointed but no blame can be laid
at the doors of the fair manage
ment for her failures.
Hurrah for the Prowers Coun-
ty Fair! It was the best ever
given but next year it will be
better than ever before.

NEW PLAN A SUCCESS

The new plan of Bible study
started at the P Presbyterian church
about six weeks ago is proving a
complete success and the result
is a we'll organized Bible class.
At each meeting an increase in
attendance, interest and helpful
ness over the preceding meeting
can be noticed.
The meeting Wednesday eve-
ming was unusually interesting.
Mrs. Wiley X. Wright was reflect
ed leader for another month, and
Mrs. j. w. Robson was elected
chairman. The fourth chapter Of
Acts was studied. The next
meeting will be on Wednesday
evening, Sept. 2, at 7:3O O'Clock
and lesson will be Acts V. Come
and see what you are receiving q
cordially invitation to attend.

FOUR CARS PER DAY

Cantaloupe shipments from this
section are now reaching the top
most mark, four cars each day
being expressed to the markets
and a force of men working each
night at the local shipping station.
The majority of the crop this
year from this point is being
handled by the Lyons & Coggins
Co.. shipments to this firm aver
aging three cars per day, they
having local agents here to in
spect and oversee the shipping of
same. An advance of sixty cents
per crate is being made at pres
ent, and at the prices promised
our growers should reap a splen-
did profit.
Standard melons seem to have
made this section their home this
year, they outnumbering the
other varities to a large extent.
A visit to the loading station
by the Chieftain man shows that
that many of the growers will
persist in bringing in some in
ferior melons. they hoping to
slip same by the lynx-eyed in
spector but having no luck. 1t
is, and always will be, just a loss
of time and money to pack the
poor or marred melons, as one
unsightly or spoiled melon will
reduce the price on a whole crate
of otherwise good melons.

SPLENDID BALL GAME


One Of the best games Of ball
ever witnessed in this town was
played on the local grounds last
Sunday, Deerield, Kan, proving
the loser in warmly contested
game.
The Kansas boys came to this
town with the scalps Of nearly
all Western Kansas hanging from
their belts, and proposed to add
the one belonging to the home
team-but our boys objected.
For five innings neither team
was able to get a man over home
plate, both pitchers being on
their mettle and the teams sup
porting them perfectly. In the
last half of the sixth Holly got
one run, and from then on neith-
er side was able to score again,
the Deerfield pitcher allowing
but two hits during the game and
they getting but one off Webster.
The Deerfield boys are true
sportsmen, and the game was
not marred by wordy conflicts
between the team and umpire,
all agreeing that L. NJ. Appel
is one of the fairest umpires in
every respect. This team may
depend upon a cordial welcome
in this town at all times.
A return game will no doubt
be played in the near future.

SHOOT NAN At woIcorr

Last Thursday, according to
daily papers. AL Caldwell and ].
A. (Shake) Gilman, formerly of
this section, got full Of booze in
the town of Wolcott, located on
the Western slope, and proceeded
to shoot up the town in the old
time Western fashion.
Citizens of the town objected
to their antics, and the D. & r.
G. station agent, who was a dep
uty sheriff, was called upon to
quiet the pair, but he met with
little success.
Caldwell started to ride his
horse on the sidewalks of the
town when the deputy called up
on him to quit, when quick as a
flash he drew a gun and fired
four shots at the man and several
friends who had gathered upon
the scene, two bullets striking
another Rio Grande employee,
one piercing his groin and caus-
ing wounds which are expected
to cause his death.
The two men were allowed to
escape but have since been re-
captured and are in Jail, awaiting
q hearing.
Both men are well know in this
town, having been cowboys in
this and the Granada country for
years,

BUILDING OF PETRoGRAD.
Peter the Greats Ruthless Methods In
Erecting the Capital

Peter the Greats Ruthless Methods In
Erecting the Capital.
Most disadvantag eously situated of
all the capitals of Europe-inleed, OF
the world-Petrograd is monument
of the pride and energy of Peter the
Great He wanted European CAPT
tai in order to signalize and immor-
talize his conqueSts In 1903, when
the first foundations of the city we're
laid on the marshy island on he delta
of the Neva, at the eastern end of the
gulf of Finland, the surrounding ter
ritory had even then not been entirely
conquered.
Peter went to work with his usual
energy and with his usual ruthless
ness to create capital in what was
worse than a desert. He himself SUI
perintended the building of the city
and gave the directions of the details
to half a dozen lieutenants. The work
was pushed with almost incredible
rapidity, so that by 1712 sufficient adj
vance had been made to permit the
transfer of the imperial family from
Moscow.
One measure ordered by Peter was
that thousands of peasants must set
tie in or near the new capital A spe-
cial tax was put on his empire to
meet the expenses of building the city.
Such small difficulty as the scarcity
of masons was nothing to a man like
Peter the Great He simply forbade
the erection of stone buildings any
where else in the empire unit. PetrO-
grad was finished.-New York FINES

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes chemical ana
lysis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs
cannot readily be brought back to
health and sire myth.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1918, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves
us to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is D. Kilmer's Swomp- Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
| Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realized, according to sworn state
ments and verified testimony of those
who have used the remedy.

guire attention, and wish sample

read the item last week giving the

that Mrs. Johnson's new home will be

Keigbhors of Donnelly who presented
, Mrs. johnson with their fraternal
token of respect and not the ladies of
