INGENIOUS BOYS INITIATE
AN AUTO FACTORY

An auto mandatory in Gunnison :
No. Those two cars were hand work!
Two Gunnison boys. Willie Calkins
and Thomas Hayden. one in the fifth
grade and one in the sixth, have made
two perfect little model automobiles.
One is black Ford runabout, and the
other is a fine touring car painted
green. Both were modelled after the
Calkins Ford car.
The cars are made out Of tin, hlocks
Of wood, wire, rope, nails, and can
vas They are fitted with folding
tops of canvas, and seats Of the sumo
material; the tires are of bel! cord
and have much the same appearance
as the real thing. When one opens
the nicely hinged hood, he finds that
his engine runs on six cylinders. The
autos are complete even to the pretty
U. S. flag painted in water colors on
the wind shield. These boys deserve
great credit for the ingenuity they
have shown; perhaps they are the
Edisons and Maxim of the future. who

GREAT CROPS WEST
OF US SAYS BROWN

"Montrose is expecting the biggest
crop in her history" declared J. r.
Brown, president of the Nontrose
Creamery, who was up interviewing
our business men who handle "Gold
Band Butter" early in the week 81
am all over Montrose county every
few days and never saw the crops
look SO well. For the first time in
two years we are getting bumper
first cutting of alfalfa The bean
crop is simply enormous and the fruit
outlook is SO hugh that we hardly
know where to look for help to care
for it. Talking with one of the school
men of our city recently he stated
that it was probable the high school
boys and girls would not be called
off the farms and orchards before
November.
"We are getting more and more To-
cal cream since our farmers have got
ten into the silo game. The raising
of corn is supplementing alfalfa, and
one thing that is pushing silos is the
dandelions which are taking many al
falfa fields. 1t seems impossible to
keep fields seeded to alfalfa as FORM
erly on account Of the weeds.

pion that while he takes great many
papers, he reads the NC with care
every week, and finds it gives him 4

NATIONAL MARKETS HEAD HAS
FRUIT MANS WELFARE IN VIEW
BY Giving Attention TO Conservation
of Ripe and Culled Fruit, Will Add
to Profits.

Plans for stimulating the consump-
tion of fruits from the western or
chard districts of Colorado are re-
ported to be well under way by w.
n. Kerr, chief of the federal bureau
of markets. Mr.. Kerr, with a dele
cation from the Denver Civic and
Commercial Association, was to ar
rive in Grand Junction last week for
a conference with western slope mar
keting agents.
To utilize to the fullest possible ex-
tent the fruit that normally is al
lowed to be wasted in the progress of
gathering and shipping the crop, Mr..
Kerr announces that he is making ar
rangements for that class of fruit to
be packed in bushel baskets and load
ed into box cars, which will be at
tached to the rear of fast freight
trains and delivered to Denver, Colo
orado Springs, and Pueblo markets
within twenty-four hours. Another
idea he intends to put into practice
is that of setting aside certain days
for the purpose of giving especial at
tention to the various fruits in con-
suming centers, such as an Apple
Day, Peach Day, and so forth.
The Ways and Means Committee
for Gunnison county is planning to
secure similar service for the noun
tain towns in this vicinity. We GER
tAinly shsuld be in on this conserva-
tion Of fruit which would otherwise be
