After the second showing of votes it might be well to say something to the candidates in regard to sec ond subscriptions that they are lia- ble to receive from their friends For instance they receive 6 months subscription from a person and later another six months, the second would carry the differenve between the first 5000 and 15,000 which would be the same as ,one year
 This means that the same candidate must receive both of the orders. An other point that we wish to ex- plain: Should you receive sub scription from person who has subscribed with another candidate

Crate Material
"Out Of Sight :
Advance Purchases Will Relieve Sit
uation With Local Canta-
loupe Growers

During the past ten days canta-
loupe commission men have received
ten car loads of crate material. wrap
which will be on within few days.
The material was principally that OF
advance purchases made in antfcipa-
tion of the higher prices which were
forseen.
Fred Hilvert of the firm of 8. A.
Gerard & Co., states that it is not 80
much of question now as to price
as it is getting material. The price
has gone out of sight, SO to speak. be-
cause the lumber firms have had
such heavy demands made on them
by the government. Lumber mater
ials of all kinds have been used in
vast quantities by the government in
the several cantonments and in war;
ious ways because of the calling into
service of SO big an army. As re
suit of this crate material of all kinds
has advanced in price until the point
has been reached where pleas are
being made for relief.
Apple boxes are four and five times
the price they were year ago and
this will make quite an item with
apple shippers. The consumer, Of
course, must pay the price in the end.
With the local cantaloupe growers
the situation is greatly relieved be-
cause of the advance purchases made
and Mr.. Hilvert states that the grow
ers will get the benefit of this early
buying. II they were. compelled to
pay the present price it would work
hardship because cantaloupee are
perishable article and the consum-
er cannot be taxed the added cost
so easily as can the consumers of ap-
pies which are held for set price be-
cause of their keeping qualities.

dairymen at a much greater price
and they are willing to get 1t for they
make money off the dairy COW by so
doing.
The exact figures on the number
of silos in this county has not been
secured but there are now approxi-
mately fifty. Of them in the irrigated
district and within another year the
number will probably be doubled.
q This method of preserving feeds has
brought an increased acreage of corn
for ensilage. and where three or
four years ago only small patches of
corn, and that principally for roast
ing ear use, could be seen this year
good sized fields Of excellent corn are
TO be found in every part of the irri-
gated district. fields of 20, 80 and 40
and even more acres. Corn ensilage
is conceded to be the very best there
is and eight to twelve acres of corn
will fill silo which holds so to 120
tons. 1t is estimated that the silos
already for ensilage this fall will care
for approximately 5000 tons Of feed.
Dairy cows have grown SO great in
numbers here as to attract bidders
Tor the product. More than year
ago creamery was put in in Ord
way and has been doing a good busi-
ness and Is finding a ready market

number Of larger milk producers
have been shipping cream and whole
milk to Pueblo, but more especially
is this true of the farmers in the Oh
ney Springs section where they have
not so close an access to the creamery
in Ordway. Along with the increase
IN number of cows and the natural in
crease in the milk output comes other
interested firms and one Of these is

to be men rather than boys or young

cipally of men over the draft age for
two reasons. First, men of the draft
