the end Of the year? This sounds
rather "fishy," but here is a Colorado
dry land farmer who produced corn
with return Of only 1918 per acre,
and made money by doing it. True,
if he is to receive a fair wage for his
labor, his cost is more than S3.73. The
same thing in Missouri, according to
their bulletin No. 125 costs SS.45.
This man had ground for 25 acres of
hay, 68 acres of small grain, and At
acres of corn. He had ten horses and
a grown son to help with the work.
The hay and small grain were plenty
to keep them busy at times when
those crops needed attention, yet if
the corn ground was limited to AZ
acres, there was pretty sure to be
some idle time and a lot Of idle ma
chinery.
In order to make a more efficient
use Of men, horses and machinery, he
rented Of a neighbor 81 acres for corn,
making a total of ia acres. He had
to hire one man for about a month,
at a cost Of $50. This was the only
expense except such items as board
for the man, extra depreciation of
machinery, etc. His share of the corn
amounted to 500 bushels, which at 80
cents per bushel, would be $3.50.
In other words, he gained about
$500 by giving more efficient employ
ment to labor and equipment on 81
additional acres of corn, with a return
of only 1913 per acre.-O. S. Rayner,
Colorado Agricultural College. Fort
Collins, Colorado.

Lamar had little hard luck getting
started owing to bad weather stopping
practice all through the early sea-
son, but they are in trim at last and
will trim most any team that meets
them now. Sunday they went up to
Fort Lyon and more than took re-
yenge for what happened here the
previous Sunday. The boys at the
Fort could do nothing at all with
Littler's curves and one run was all
they ever had chance to get. Lamar
really won the game in the seventh
when they made two runs, but just
to show that they could get them they
annexed four more tallies in the
ninth. Brown went right up near
the leadership Of the league in bat
ting, getting a home run and two
singles in four times up. Sharkey got
two hits, and Bud Littler keeps up
his heavy hitting, so the batting of
the team is rapidly getting back to
last years class. Gordon and Pate
are proving a stronger pair in the
center of the diamond than any that
the team had last year. Altogether
the prospects for winning team are
very bright.
La Junta lost to Rocky Ford and
as the teams are now in two punches
and with only two games between
them it is anybody's race.
There will be a double header with
the La Junta team at Association
Park here on Sunday, May 80, and the
boys deserve a large crowd to encour-
age them. The first game will begin
at o'clock owing to having to play
two games. At the same time Rocky
Ford and Fort Lyon will play two
games.

Thursday nights concert in ST, Johns School
House was we'll attended, and o very good
musical programme was rendered by Mr..
Adams OF st. Thomas and his able support
erR.
Some very good instrumental selections
were played by Mr.. Adams and those mem
bers Of his band who were able to come
over with him from st. Thomas, and we can
only regret that Mr.. Adams was not able to
let us hear his whole band.
The two Nielsen brothers Of West End
performed very creditably on the piano and
violin respectively, and were accorded
a hearty welcome by the audience; we
hope that we may have the pleasure Of
their presence here with us on future occa-
siOns.
The songs were much appreciated, Rev.
Levo giving as one of his songs the popular
"TlppeIary", asking the audience to join him
IN the chorus. which did much to add to q
very pleasant and jolly evening.
DIR. Adams in his lecture gave q brief out
line of the art OF music from behind the
scenes. which was very instructive and we'll
appreciated. At the close Of the programme
Mr.. Adams expressed his appreciation of
the pleasing welcome which was extended
to himself and his supporters, and said that
it would ever live in his memory We
would also like to express our thanks to
Mr. Adams for SO successfully adding to our
entertainment in this Island, and hope for o
visit from him with his entire band in the
near future.
The Industrial Brass Band was in attend
ance, and rendered some very good selec-
tons. playing in unison with Mr.. Adams

London, July 1st-Acrording to an Aus
TRAN official statement the Teutonic Allies
have advanced over the Galician border into
Russian Poland and captured the important
town OF Tomaszcw. Strong Russian forces
north OF Aamionka. on the river Bug, 25
miles northeast of Lemberg, were repulsed
with great losses after heavy fighting. Fur
ther south the Russians have been driven
back across the river Gnila Lipa, and con-
tlnue to retreat before the Austro Germans,
the refining movement now extending along
q front of approximately $50 miles.
A Berlin official statement records pro-
gress by the Teutonio troops in virtually the
entire south-eastern theatre. although vio-
lent lighting is still going Oh beyond the
emilia Lipa. which joins the Dniester at
Halicz. The Russians are now struggling
to establish themselves on q tenable line and
to counter-attack
The allied observers view the German sue
cesses with concern, because the capture of
Warsaw or the seizure Of the railways which
feed that city indirectly would result in an
other general German offensive in France
and Belgium. There is no Indication that
the Germans intend to stop harrassing the
Russians, but their progress is expected to
slow up since they are in Russian territory
with almost altogether road transport and
no railways.
Notwithstanding the recent French attacks
around Arras, the Germans must feel com
paratlvely secure in the west, otherwise their

make for a treaty violated, which is not
within the jurisdiction of n prize court.
The United States claim is for nm indemnify
for the violation of the treaty. and not r.
an indemnity within the treaty, and there
fore it should be settled by direct diplomatic
discussion, without reference to q prize court.
A prompt payment of the indemnity would
be accepted as a satisfactory PREPARATION. The

AND THE STRANGER
SWIPED OLD BECK
Randolph County Farmer Loses
Respect for INDECENT Mankind.

Pocahontas, March 22.-Does it
pay to take pity on stranger? A
Mr.. feathers, living l 5 miles in the
western part of the county, says
not. An old man, frosted and bent
by time, came to the farmers home
and asked for a horse to ride to
town, as he had become worn out.
Mr.. feathers, being one of the kind
hearted farmers of this section, gave
the old man the best mule on the
farm, asking him to leave him in
town and he would get him when
he came in. No trace has ever
been found where the old man came
to town, and Mr.. feathers has new
er heard from either the mule or
man. He is now offering $50 re-
ward for the mule and SIS for the
arrest of the old man, who has for
ever sealed his sympathy for pass

had organized a Night Rider As
ISOLATION and written threatening
letters to land owners and to the
Scott County Milling Company.
on bond, and the other ten were
taken to Benton, Mo-, in automo-
biles to await trial in the April
term of circuit court at that place.
The Scott County Milling Com
pany, one of the largest flour mills
in the state, heard of the night
riders trying to organize in this
county and wired to Chicago for
two detectives a few days ago.
The detectives in disguise joined
the night riders, keeping in touch
with the police and advising them
of their movements. Saturday night
a meeting was called by the riders
to be held at the Harris residence,
and the detectives were with them
and assisted in their work.
After organizing the society, let
tiers were written to many land
owners in Scott county, threatening
them with destruction of their
homes and with whipping unless
their men were paid Is cents an
hour and given 10 hours work a
day.
They were also requested to low
er their rents to all tenants. The
Scott County Milling Company was
threatened with destruction by fire,
unless they paid their men higher
wages.
AS the meeting was about to be
closed Sheriff William Ellis, with
the assistance of a large number of
deputies, closed in and arrested the
entire gang.
They were guarded through the
night and were given preliminary
hearing the following morning. Ten
were refused release by bail, but
two were released on a $4,000 bond,
pending the action of the circuit
court in April.

HAYS ASSURED
OF OPPOSITION
With Primary Nearly Year Off,
Politicians Begin Planning APP
peals to the People.

Little Rock, March 22.-Politi-
clans throughout the state are al
ready beginning TO show much &C
tivity preparing for the democratic
primaries to be held next March.
Before the end of April it is ex-
pected that several candidates for
each of the state and congressional
positions will have announced. The
state officers now serving their first
terms who will very likely be un-
opposed in the next primaries, are:
State Treasurer H. G. McDaniels
and possibly Auditor Dickinson, who
was recently appointed by Cover
nor Hays to succeed l.. l.. Coffman,
who resigned
1t is practically settled that Gov.
Hays will have opposition in the
event he seeks reelection. Other
officers who will retire from their
present positions are Attorney Gen
eral w. L. Moose, Secretary of
State Earle Hodges, Commissioner
of Agriculture John H. Page, Super
intendent of Public Instruction Geo.
B. Cook, Land Commissioner w. B.
Owens, who is now serving his first
term, will also seek reelection.
Association Justice Carroll d.
Wood, whose term expires next
year, will also be a candidate for
reelection and as far as can be
learned will have no opposition. He
has been on the bench of the SUI
preme court for a number of years
and is regarded as one of it's most
tically the Endorsement of the en-
tire bar of the state for reelection.
Earle w. Hodges, who is now serv-
ing his third term as secretary of
state, is an avowed candidate for
the democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation. DR.. C. H. Brough of the
University of Arkansas, ]. D. Ar
mold of TeXarkana and two or
three others are being mentioned in
connection with that office. M. P.

General Moose will not be a candi-
date for reelection For each of
the minor state positions there are
from two to four prospective candi-
dates. The same can be said of a
majority of the congressional dis
tricts. Congressman Goodwin will
probably have three or four oppo-
nents, while Congressman Wingo
and Taylor also expect opposition.
