SERIOUS CONDITIONS;
RAISE FOODSTUFFS
The Times Demand That
Every Family Raise Its
Own Living At Home.

Conditions are serious; the time
is perilous. War is declared and
our country is now a party to the
worlds great conflict of arms Every.
thing depends upon the farmer, for
he must furnish food and clothing
while the nation fights. Upon the
conservative and intelligent course
of the American farmer depends
the well-being o: our people, and in
a large measure our success in war.
War time prices have prevailed for
the past several months. Prices of
food stuff are now beyond reason,
and we have only just declared war.
The influence of the European war
has touched every domestic hearth
stone. 1t has brought prosperity to
some, and the pinch of HUNGER to
others. 1t brought US 16 to 20 cent
cotton last fall, and later on the
food stuff value scared so high that
20 cent cotton begins to pale by
contrast. Now that we have de-
clared war, that we are at war, and
a party to the great worldwide
military struggle, what may we ex-
pect to follow? We all know what
high prices mean. High prices
mean scarcity. If the worlds sup
ply gets scarce, what happens?
Somebody goes hungry; somebody
does without, or everybody lives on
less Let us face the music, be men
and meet the condition and discharge
our obligation. Let us act thought
fully. conservatively and intelligent
ly. How? Here are some of the
ways:
1st. Plant food and feed crops
enough to supply all our needs a nd
half as much more. WhyY Be-
cause rs per cent Of the people
live on the farm. II every farmer
raised only enough for his own needs
rs per cent of our people must have
to supply themselves from elsewhere,
and the food products might not be
easy to Get. Then again, the crop
season might be bad and the yield
small. In that event the so per
cent extra calculated upon will take
care of the deficiency. If crops are
good, the surplus will sell this year
at good prices, for the world needs
and must have food stuff and feed

day, October 7th, at two o'clock, when
the Masonic order Of Gunn;son will
conduct the services from the house.
Mr.. Eastman was born in Michigan
on February 4th, 1854. He was then
over sixty-two years Of age at death.
In Greenville, Michigan, he was mar
ried to Miss Alice Towers, who came
with him as bride to Gunnison coun-
ty, altho before that he had, as .
young man, prospected in Arizona,
New Mexico and Colorado. They
settled at Pitkin and until 1899 lived
at that city and on Quartz creek where
they owned a ranch. In the year
above mentioned, Mr.. Eastman moved
to the county seat, opening first q
blacksmith shop, which later became
the property of his son-in-law, Jos.
McDermott. His business expanded
across the street into the livery stable
and from that into fine machinery
and farm implement trade. With the
coming of the automobile, Mr.. East
man was quick to grasp its possibili-
ties and abandoned the livery business,
building in its place the splendid gar
age that bears his name and is known
all over Colorado as landmark on
the Rainbow Route.
In very large sense, Mr.. Eastman
was builder of Gunnison. AS .
tradesman, and a public spirited citi-
zen his judgment was first class and
his word as good as bond. He hated
sham and hypocracy, but stood firmly
for the right as he saw it. It is q
valuable heritage Of reputation and
rugged honesty which he bequeathes

DEATH OF "DAD" FISHER OC-
Ours AT SALIDA SUNDAY

At four o'clock Sunday morning, at
the Rio Grande hospital in Salida, oc-
Cured the death Of Charles Fisher,
of this city. He had gone over a few
days previous to consult with doc
tor, an operation was found necessary.
He never rallied from the effects Of
it, however.
Mr.. Fisher came to Gunnison some
six or seven years ago, and was en-
ployed at the Rio Grande yards here
as kind of an overseer. He was q
great favorite with the railroad men
along the line, who affectionately call
ed him Dad" and to whom they were
very good, showing him many little
acts of kindness in various ways.
He was between sixty and sixty
five years Of age, and before coming
to Gunnison, was q miner and pros
pector. Several years ago, he was
thrown from high bridge, breaking
both legs and arms SO badly that he
was permanently crippled, which pre-
vented him from following mining
after that. He was great sufferer
rheumatism and its effects.
Not much is known about him be-
fore he came here. A sister is sup
posed to reside in Baltimore, and 4
niece somewhere in the east. We
have been unable to learn anything
regarding the funeral arrangements
as yet. He claimed that he was an
Odd Fellow in good standing, but an
examination Of his few papers and
effects left in the bunk house where he
patched alone, have failed to reveal
anything to support the claim. It is

The tourist trade is steadily dwind-

October is the ideal month for tour
ing. However, we suppose, most folks
take their annual vacation in July and

haven't time for enjoyment of these
perfect autumn days.
A traveller on the Rainbow Route,
reports a narrow escape out Of Colo
RADIO Springs the other day. The driv-
er with his wife, three boys and a
cousin were hitting the pace during
the heat of the day, when they came
to raised culvert. The car hit it
squarely, and three tires blew up at
once. Losing control of the car, it
went into the ditch, the three grown
ups being pitched clear oyer fence,
while the three boys were buried un-
der the car. However, they were
quickly rescued with no greater dam
age than a broken windshield.
