OUR MISTAKE.

In writing of the University of Den

mistake in saying they would be here
on Saturday evening March 4th,. The
date should have been Tuesday even-
ing March 14th. This is to be an en-
tertainment of nc little merit with an
Orchestra, Glee Club, Reader and

RECORD PRICE FOR HOGS,

From the Denver Post we learn
that j. Potenski of Sedgwick topped
the Denver hog market Monday with
so head of porkers that brought IS. 90
per hundred weight. This price
breaks all records for recent years.
Several years ago there was a sale of
hogs at S10s5 but with this one ex-
ception the price paid this week was
the highest ever paid by the Denver
Market

GOODBYE TO OUR OLD FRIEND,
"FREE SUGAR"
Georgia Denecratlc Editor Takes
Humorous Farewell Of Favorite
Fyee.Tfade Hcresy.

IAccs1INuc HCTcsss
The Democratic editor of the Au-
gusta tGaD Chronicle, editorializing
gress in voting to repeal free sugar"
thus bids goodbye to one of his fav-
orite free-trade heresies:
"Ali of which was expected and is,
probably, the right thing to do--seeing
that there is still need for more and
more--but, nevertheless and notwith
standing. we can't restrain the feeling
that we are parting with an old poIit-
ical friend wher. we, gtve up free
sugar And of course, we are giving
it up for very long time to come.
We have fought many a political
battle together--we Democrats aud
free sugar 1t has stood by us in
times Of str~ss- -wlleh neither ..frec
silver nor anything else free would
prevail-and great was its power as a
rallying cry.
For years we have been told that
"
sugar. that the breakfast table fairly
groaned under the burden of the
Louisiana cane planter and the beet
sugar baron; that the Sugar Trust
stuck its greedy finger in every man.,
cup of coffee--and that without free
sugar pretty soon, this country was in
a fair wav Tn hacprnn yacsal ct.ta
or something equally reprehensible.
Moreover, we We're told that the
sugar tariff was direct tax levied
on every breakfast table in America,
and that it fell heaviest on the poor
and pure in heart--provided they were
very fond of sugar in theirs SO the
great American people rose up and
smote' the sugar barons hip and thigh
and free sugar was proclaimed king
with just the lapse of ear or two.
or until May, 1916, to enable the people
to get accustmed to this great bless
ing before it overwhelmed them.
But alas and alack! ere the ides of
May are here, our Democratic brethren
in congress met in caucus and almost
determined that the days
of free sugar shall be withheld from
us for yet awhile longcr--perhaps in
definitely. And all because this
country needs a large army and Il
larger navy and must dig up the
money to pay for it: $4,000, 900 d
year out of the sugar barrel, for one
thing
But what concerns US is the way
in which the Hon. Claude Kitchin,
Democratic house leader, revamped an
old Republican protective tariff ar
gument, when, in explaining why we
are not to have free sugar said the |
expense of preparedness would have
to be met with as little burden and
to the people as possible;
hence, they would just keep the tax |
on sugar.
I'VE seem to recall that the Repub-
licans used much the same language
that nobody really felt that tariff on
sugar--when our Democratic SPELL
binder were telling us that if we did
MT get free sugar jretty soon We
would sink under the weight of this
breakfast table tax'--and probably,
die. in the end, for want of a suffici-
ent amount Of sugar in our system.
Truly. then we are sad. Not mere
ly that we are to lose free sugar
just before we get it--but even more
at the manner OF its going"

THE COMING DISTRICT TEACHERS
INSTITUTE.

1t will certainly be of interest to
the teachers of Julesburg and the en-
tire county to know that a District
Teachers Institute will be held this
coming August at Sterling The ses-
sions will be held in the magnificent
Logan County high school
The committee in charge of arrange
ments have been fortunate in securing,
among others, the services of w. B.
Mooney of the State Teachers College,
who will lecture every day on Psyche
logy and School Management ana
Hattie Moore Mitchell of Drake Uni
versity, Des Moines, Iowa, who will
be in charge of the primary work.
Miss Mitchell is of national fame and
those attending next summer will
have the services of an instructor
seldom found in institute work. The
State Teachers College will again
allow four hours credit at their in
stitution for the work done at this
institute. A number of innovations
have been planned by the committee,
which will be given later in these
columns. County Superintendent
Bess Law desires that every teacher in
this county take advantage of this
occasion and plan to spend the first
two weeks in August in attendance
with her at Sterling.
The First District Teachers Insti-
tute which was so successful was held
at Fort Morgan last summer.

TOO MUCH BOOZE CAUSES WRECK

Verne Powers, Able Hesson, Happy"
Herman an Ben Balls, residents Of
Mcrino, came to grief Tuesday even
ing Oh their return from Sidney when
they run their automobile into the ir-
rigation ditch across the road three
miles north of Sterling, near the Knud-
son farm. One of the men was rend-
cred unconscious, two others were
severely injured, and one escaped in
jury. The men were brought to Stef-:
ling by Deputy Sheriff Whittier. All
were placed in Jail, but when a physi-
clan was called he advised the remov-
all of three of the men to the hospital.
and the other was left in the county
Jail. large amount of liquor was
discovered inthe machine. The men
were travelling without headlights on
the machine, and it is supposed that
the driver failed to see the ditch and
plowed into 1t headlong. What action
the authorities can take in the mat
ter doesn't seem to be clear-Sterling

THE LONGEST WAY ROUND
NOW SHOWING AT APOLLO.
A Balanced Cast Present This
Impressive Story in Three Acts.

Tense dramatic flashes vie with ru-
raj comedy in Edwin Milton Royles
"The Longest Way Round" which
Selwyn & Co. are presenting for the
first time OF any stage at the Apollo
this Friday and Saturday evening and
Saturday matinee.
"The Longest Way Round which
is in a prologue and three acts. tells
an impressive story of a New Hamp-
shire village divinity student, who
forsakes the church to go on the
stage. Failure follows failure, and
when success does finally come his
way it is due mainly to a sweetheart
of student days, who not only helps
him climb to fame behind the foot
lights but later, through her kind in
huence and loving advice, shows him
where his true path in love lies and
returns with him as his wife to the
village church, far from the din of
Gotham theatrical life.
Scenes and characters in "The
Longest Way Round" ranging from
the quaint New Hampshire village,
with its even quainter inhabitants, to
behind the scenes in a New York the
atre at rehearsal, afford interesting
dramatic contrasts.
Selwyn & Co. have selected a we'll
balanced cast for "The Longest Way
Round" Included in it among others
are: Ruth Sinclair, Louise Randolph,
Edward Lynch, William H. Sullivan,
Frances Savage, Kenyon Bishop and
others.

1917 INDIAN MOTOR
CYCLE HAS ARRIVED.

The 1917 model of the INDIAN Powerplus
Motorcycle has arrived and is now on display
at the shop of Turner & Black, 126 Doughty
Road. The attention of local devotees of the
popular two-wheel pastime has been attract
ed to the several new features which appear,
a good crowd having been present at the shop
continually since the big INDIAN was re-
moved from his crate.
The 1917 Powerplus model of the INDIAN
comes out this year with five big refinements
which have already won the approval of
those who have admired its classy lines or
witnessed its remarkable demonstrations of
power and speed.
Chief of these Improvements is the new
Triple Stem Fork which more than doubles
the strength and affords a secure double
anchorage for the adjustable handle bar.
The frame is also greatly strengthened by
the new drop forged webbed head construc-
ton and tubing reinforcement.
The enlarged gasoline tank with a capacity
of nearly four gallons is another distinctive
improvement, and one which adds materially
to the appearance of the new INDIAN.
A great Improvement in the gear shifting
arrangements in which the shifting lever
operates directly, pivoting from the seat post
cluster. This eliminates considerable lost
motion common to other gearshifting devices,
and makes the action easy, quick and posi-
tive.
The change in the 1917 INDIAN which will
doubtless attract the most attention is the
departure in finish. This a choice of two
colors will be offered. The conventional IN
DIAN req Is o1ered Inls year Win the addl-
ton of a neat black panel striped with gold
which adorns all fiat exposed surfaces. 1t is
a notable Improvement in the appearance of
the INDIAN, lending a dignity and grace to
the lines of the whole machine which the
plain red could not impart. The second
choice is the olive drab finish. likewise strip
ed in black and gold, for which many riders
have expressed a preference.
The Powerplus Motor which was such an
astounding success in the 1916 season comes
out in the 1917 model with only minor chan
ges. 1t is once again the same powerful,
silent, smooth-running master-motor which
proved itself so thoroughly last year. 1t
develops from 16 to IS horsepower, and is
capable of speeds varying from 8 to 20 miles
per hour. Economy of operation is the add
ed charm that Powerplus can truthfully
claim.
With its new features, its Powerplus mo-
tor, and new dress-up, the 1917 INDIAN
win prove one of the most popular models
of the new season.

Well, well, we'll The Missing Word
Contests started in The Pleasantville Press
last Saturday are a huge success. They are
a greater success than we had any idea they
would be. We knew many would get after
the words, but oh, my we had no idea that
so many would start on this hunting trip.
1t seems to us answers have come to this
office from most every home in Pleasantville,
Absecon, Somers Point, Mortified, Linwood,
Egg Harbor Township, Port Republic, and
from many of the homes outside the district.
In fact, they are here from all over the coun-
ty and even other states. Persons in all
walks of life are registered among the con-
testants.
Some are asking if we are to publish a
list of contestants. There will be no publ
cations of names, except the results at the
close of the contest. You will not know who
your opponent is unless he or she tells you.
Can one person win a prize in both Con-
if you succeed in finding all or most of the
missing words. Remember, there is $4,000
in cash up as prizes, and it is possible for
one person to win a prize on each page.
"Is it too late to begin now" 1t is not.
The words were made very easy last week,
but you would be surprised to know how
many missed getting the correct words. So
you can start this week and be even with
them. We miss our guess if anyone gets
over eight out of the IL words correctly.
Notwithstanding the fact that we made
the words last week very, very easy, yet
there were many who did not find the words.
But, we want to say to those who did not
find the words last week, don't get alarmed
because you missed one, as those who found
the words last week may fall down this or
next week, and you may get it., so that will
even matters up. So stick, stick, stick.
The word left out of an ad in Contest No.
l last week was SEE and was omitted from
the Pauley's Pharmacy advertisement, be-
tween the words TO and YOU.
The missing word left out of a certain ad
in Contest Page No. 2 was REPAIR, and
was omitted from the Palace Garage adver-
