AUTHENTIC STORY
OF WAR TO Be TOLD
BY PROF. LARUE

Beyond any doubt, the finest ma
terial that has yet been brought to
the people of this country on the
great European war, to the people
OF Raymer and vicinity, will be Civ
en- on Saturday night, Sept. 8th 10
six reels, THE Great European
War;" accompanied by the lecture
of Prof, LaRue.
Having himself been on the Ger
man and Russian front as a war
correspondent for some II months,
he is able to combine in a rare way
through the remarkable story that
he is able to tell, all Of the pathos
OF the great worlds conflict.
From the Morgan Times "The
audience was held motionless
throughout the hour and a half of
the remarkable picture, except
when the patriotic utterances of
Prof. LaRue in reference to our
entry into the war, brot instant ap.
plause from the large audience.
The picture left many serious
about the war, but patriotism was
at all times in evidence"
There will be nothing shown
horrible to look at that would jar
the spirits of anyone seeking after
the truth about the war. The
bombarding of Warsaw, the drive
across Poland, and the Great
Krupp plant.
Probably no more instructive
way could have been devised to
show the American people the tre-
mendous task Of equiping an army
and training it, than the actual
pictures taken at the front.
McQuown and Knapp secured
this big special which will be per-
sonally lectured by Prof. LaRue
at a great expense and never before
has this picture been shown in
small town, but at this criticaltime
of war and uncertainties they did
not hesitate to book this big fea-
ture as they know the people will
support them.

WHEAT MAKES Al
BUSHELS PER ACRE

Grant Mercer has demonstrated
that summer tilling pays. From
Z acres of summer titled land he
threshed 2SI bushels or IL bushels
per acre. Such yields as that once
in two years would establish the
value Of our lands away up beside
that of the best eastern lands.
Of'snurse, Grant farms with
greater care than large number OF
the farmers, but that only indicates
that we live in section where un-
usual industry and care will bring
the greater rewards and that is the
class Of farmers that will eventual.
ly be attracted to this part Of the
west.
Mr.. Mercer also harvested 81
bushels per acre from sod.
H. Fiscus did the threshing, and
Mr.. Mercer says there is not hat
full of wheat in the straw, nor is
there dirt in the wheat.
Mercer says; take it from me
that Fiscus can't be beat for a good
job Of threshing"

Jery WAETstL
w SERIOUSLY HURT

Last Thursday John Whetsel, q
l3 year old boy visiting at the
Femling place southeast-.of Ray.
mer became very much interested
in a new threshing machine tina,
was being started and climbed up
on the machine near the cylinder
In a moment Of abstraction he
got one leg into the band cutter oi
the machine and was seriously cut
in the calf Of the leg. He was
hurried to town and DIR Smirl was
summoned from the country.
1t was some time before the doc
tor arrived, and the boy suffered
serious loss OF blood but fortunate
ly the band knives cut the leg
lengthwise and did not sever any
Of the cords, although splitting
them.
The shock to his system and the
loss of blood caused grave appre-
hension for the outcome, but he is
doing nicely. He is now at the
Sweet rooming house.

TAX VALUES AND
TAX LEvIES

The County Assessor has com.
pleted and made up his valuations
for Weld county. The total ASSESS
ments Of the county by the county
assessor after making exemptions
makes S66, ,76S,2 ,260 Properties as
sessed by the tax commission add
another Sl6,Sll,5 $50, giving the
county a total Of SS3.579,S4 this
shows'quit an increase over last
year.
The increase in this section of
the county is much greater in por-
portion than in the older section of
the county, in fact, We have an idea
that half of the increase will be
shown to be in the eastern part of
the county
This school district will show an
increase Of 25 per cent, while if
corporation property is excluded it
will be found that farm values have
added fully so per cent.
1t is probable that the state levy
will be higher the coming year than
last, the county levy may show
some decrease, certainly will unless
the levy for road funds is doubled,
or unless some levy is made by the
county to aid wives and children
of those who are called into mill
tary service. We imagine that the
school levy will not be any higher
than for this year and may be some
less, but the total of tax collected
for the schools will of course be
greater
In this connection it is found
that this school district contribut-
ed about $l.700 to the support of
the county this year, 81, 200 going
to the county fund proper, 81 200
to the road and bridge fund, 81 400
to help pay for the court house and
about $500 is divided up into the
pauper, county school contingent
and advertising funds
For our own schools We pay close
to 1890. From the county school
fund we get just about what we
pay in, but on the whole third
class districts pay a little more in
to the fund in this county than
they get out.
The court house will be paid for
out of this years tax, so that fund
will require little or no levy the
coming year.. but other funds are in
need of an increase.
Take it all together tax levies
will not be higher next year, but
the total OF your tax receipts will
be more for your values have been,
and properly if Others have been
lifted in like proportion, raised
quite good bit,
When We come to pay taxes, we
will realize that We are required to
do our bit.

WHEAT PRICES FIXED
AT s2.20 PER BUSHEL

AT last the price of wheat has
been fixed. The farmers friends
asked for a price of 81 so per BUSH
ell, cut of about Is per cent, and
representatives Of organized labor
wanted to cut it about 30 or 40 per
cent.
Or to put it in other words,
wheat was selling for S2.64 when
the price dropped out due to the
boards action. The farmers were
willing to make it sell for about
81 % here, and labor wanted it to
sell for sl60. The price agreed
upon gave the big end Of the con-
cession to the lower priced advo-
Gates.
The Greeley Tribune hopes the
farmers will consider the action in
"broad and patriotic@ay.s, They
will try to do so, they always do,
but in this day when they are pay
ing sl60 for a grain drill that was
bot a short time ago for $50, when
they pay 30 cents gallon for gas
oline that formerly sold for | | cents
are charged Sl3 per barrel for -four
and $500 per Cwt. or more, for
bran and shorts, don't blame the
farmer if he begins to inquire
whether the benefit of this increase
in price is going to be passed on
to the fellow who finally eats the
flour or whether it will largely stop
in the hands Of the millers.
1t seems mighty strange that the
first man to get hit by the price
fixing board is the farmer, the man
who was begged to increase his ac-
tivities because the worldwas starv-
ing.
The farmers do not need to be
appealed to be patriotic, but that
does not mean that they should be
stupid, and they will be apt to ask
why it is that they must pay in
creasing prices and then accept
lower prices, and it will be up to
some one to make some explana-
tions.
However, the farmer will be pa
triotic. He will raise more wheat
than last year, But do not expect
him to accept this price fixing bus
mess as just the thing until he has
seen little more of its workings.
If this board can find some way
so that we can buy Colorado coal
as cheap in Raymer as the same is
sold in Omaha; if they will arrange
so that sugar produced in Colora.
do is sold as cheap as it is sold in
New York; if the cut in wheat pric-
es reaches in the same proportion
to -four; the farmer will not ser
iously complain,
But do not hand us a stone for
bread and a serpent for a fish too
often, for we want square deal.
