House Lighted by Ga, in Rocky Ford

Lewis Swink is the first property
owner in Rocky Ford TO have his
house lighted by gas furnished by
the Otero Gas Company. The prop
erty belonging to Mr. Swink on
Eighth street was recently connected
with the gas mains. fixtures were
installed and for the last few weeks
the property has been heated and
lighted by gas The barn at the
rear Of the property has also been
connected with gas for lighting pur-
poses. The lights are giving abso-
lutte satisfaction and quite a number
OF other property owners in the city
contemplate the installation OF light
fixtures within a short time. The gas
office is the only other building in
Rocky Ford lighted by gas at pres
ent.
While gas for lights has not been
pushed to any great extent by the
gas company In Rocky Ford, the use
OF gas for heating and cooking has
grown steadily In favor during the
last two years. over two hundred
consumers are being furnished with
gas for cooking in the city. and new
contracts are being made each day
by the gas company. The housewife
finds that the gas range is by far
the most convenient fixture In the
kitchen. and gas has proven to be
more economical than any other fuel.
The local office OF the gas com
pany is In charge OF Lee Darlington
and Miss Lena Green.-Rocky Ford

dispositions to be used in Law suit
brought against him by Il man
named Griffin. 10 whom Mr. Kauf-

Gated three miles east of town un-

Mr. Kaufman bought the forty
acres in 1903, moved on TO II. broke
II out, put It in alfalfa and other
crops. besides making substantial
improvements He did what every
land owner In that district should
have done worked. and when he
sold out In 1919 and went back TO
his former hime In Kansas he left
as a mark Of his industry and good
management one OF the best little
ranches to be found In the Garden

had tn. best alfalfa they ever saw

that his other crops were equally ms

II every owner OF land lying I'M

The ways are now being creased
for the launching OF the movement
for the adjustment OF postal rates
In the next session OF congress. This
problem was to have been taken up
in the last session, but had to he de-
ferred on account OF the considera-
ton required by railway mail pay.
Since this has been disposed of the
committees are prepared to take up
the matter OF placing the various
postal rates on more equitable
basis.
A zone system OF rates for second
class matter is being prominently
urged to take the place OF the pres
ent flat rate which was adopted
nearly forty years ago. The present
rate has for some time been regard
ed as a discrimination against the
newspapers in favor OF the great ma
tional magazines. Like the parcel
post the proposed zone rates would
be based on the length OF the haul.
The postal committees have been
besieged by petitions bearing mil
lions OF names and several hundred
thousand letters from individuals
urging a readjustment OF postal
rates with view OF making possible
one cent letter postage. 4 survey
of the situation indicates that suf-
ficient changes will be made in the
various rates to permit the granting
OF one cent rate on local delivery
letters in the next session OF con-
gress.
Chairman Moon OF the House
Postal Committee said: II think that
the committee will take up this sec
ond class mail matter at the next
session and press It to conclusion
at once. While | cannot speak for the
committee. this is my desire in the
bill We will pass. whether 1t will
have a zone feature attached to II or
not. This view has been presented
frequently in years past, and some
times received favor and some times
not. As to what shape the legisla-
ton will be in I am not able to say,

. little proht taking. TIE selling kept
the price somewhat below tho level OF
the day before. but the stock was not

surprised to md that the American In
ternational had been a heavy buyer OF
