Grow Good Wheat

w. w. Campbell, representing the
Mesa Flour Mill company of Grand
Junction, was interviewing our busi-
ness men Monday.
The Mesa Mill people are in the
market for wheat, but they want
nothing but the best. They don't
want poor or damaged wheat at any
price.
Mr.. Campbell says our farmers
should raise Turkey Red (hardD for
the winter crop, and Defiance for
spring planting.
With good pure seed of these vari-
cites, properly handled, our farmers
wouldn't have to hunt buyers.
Looks to us as though Mr.. Camp
bells advice is good and timely.

Monkeying with the Mail Routes

Early this week, it was rumored
that movement was on foot to abol-
ish the Meeker-AXial mail route.
This report aroused considerable in
dgnation in Meeker AXial, and
among the large number of people
who are served along the Meeker-
ANial route.
Immediately, a strongly worded
protest was sent in to the proper
authorities, and it is not likely any
change will take place, rs any such
change would manifest injustice to a
large number of settlers.
The Meeker-AXial mail route Is
one of the oldest in this section of
Colorado. having been established
over quarter of n century ago.

Better Horses

Several million dollars have been
spent in the United States for horses
for war purposes. The greatest de-
mand, of course, is for stout, strong
horses capable of work as cavalry
mounts or for artillery. The entire
country has been gone over two or
three times by buyers from different
countries, and still the demand has
mot been filed. The draining of the
West of horses means that in the re-
Mobilization better breed of horse
will be produced. 1t is this. that
sounds the death knell of the bronco.
The government has been work
ing for years encouraging the breed
ing of better horses. AS the demand
for horses to replace those sold for
war purposes increases it will be
animals of better breeds which will
take their places. Sparks.

VETERANS MEETING IN BROOKS.

Twenty-eight veterans were present at the
meeting of the Waldo County Veteran asso-
citation in Brooks July Sd. The meeting was
appointed for July ;st, but was postponed on
account of the rain. At the business meeting
in the morning but one veteran was reported
to have died since the June meeting-Charles
o. Peavey of Waldo member OF the 18th
Maine regiment 1t was voted to hold the
next meeting in Prospect August 5th. At the
noon hour bountiful dinner was served by
the ladies Of Brooks.
The afternoon meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. Thomas Martin of Brooks, and
the address of welcome was given by Prof
Charles o. Norwood, visitor in the town,
who also spoke on Patriotism. He was both
eloquent and interesting and enthused his
hearers. The response was by Comrade judi
son Trask of Newburg. Then followed a
pleasing program by the school children of
Brooks, and remarks by the comrades present.
AS it was the Sind anniversary of the battle
of Gettysburg. in which the Maine soldiers
took such a prominent part, many reminis-
cences of that battle were gone over in the
enjoyable smoke talk which followed the regu-
lar program. Owing to the muddy roads the
attendance was not as large as sometimes, but
nevertheless the meeting was very interesting
and satisfactory.
The absence of Secretary Alfred Stinson
was deeply regretted and messages of love and
sympathy were sent to him. His little grand
daughter. Evelyn Spaulding, the apple of his
eye,.is critically ill. although it is hoped she is
over the worst of the attack. 1t was at first
feared that she would have to submit to an
operation for appendicitis. but at present this
Is not thought necessary. The child, called
the granddaughter of the regiment, recently
made the address of welcome when the Veter-
ans Association met in North Searsport, where
she lives with her grandfather, Comrade Stln-
son. She is only eight years old, but her adj
dress made a great hit with the old soldiers.
All hope for her speedy recovery.

No doubt William Allen White, the
Kansas editor and author, considers him
self patriot and loyal American citi-
zen. He should therefore be concerned
as to the welfare and prosperity Of his
country. But recently in declaring that
he should not come back to the Republi-
can party he said he didn't care wheth-
er the Republicans whip the Democrats
or the Democrats whip the Republicans
in 1885," and that "the Republican
party, as at present constituted, seems
bent only on prosperity" Mr.. White
has lived under both Republican and Dem
ocratic administrations and is familiar
with the conditions that prevailed under
their widely different policies. He has
seen general prosperity under the one
and soup kitchens and general distress
under the other Yet he has no choice
between Republican prosperity and Dem
ocratic administration. Years age
Mr.. White wrote an article whats the
matter with Kansas" that brought him
instant notoriety. Now it may well be
asked. what the matter with White?
