Fortune. In Cotton Now.

~
In dollars and cents. thirty-cent cot
ton means nearly 5000 for a single
bale, including the seed. This 10 the
highest price the staple has reached
since 1870. Really, it seems almost
unbelievable that three years ago cot
ton was begging at six. seven and
eight cents. and private citizens were
urged, as q patriotic duty, to "buy a
bale"
The growth Of the cattle industry
In the southeast continues and has, IN
fact. reached such proportions as to
attract the attention Of the world.
While two million head OF cattle are
reported to be starving in the drought
stricken section Of Texas, southeast
ern landowners are hurrying to the
Texas markets and bringing back cat
tie by the train loads. Not only IS
this being done as a money making
project but as patriotic duty. Not
only does the southeastern farmer
propose to do his bit in rationins
the Allied armies, he proposes to do
his level best.

The widening scope OF Red Cross
work in Europe and the fact that cold

ed shipments. The Red Cross is sup

SPRINGS COLO, FRIDAY AUGUST a.
Metal Miners will Meet
Next Monday Night

An important session of the
Clear Creek chapter of the Colo
RADIO Metal Mining association will
be held at the city hall next Mon
day evening, August 27, at s
o'clock.
An organized movement is on
foot, backed particularly by JET
ferson county people, to induce the
passage of such legislation as will
prevent the mills of Clear Creek
county from running their waste
into Clear creek. The impound-
ing of such waste in this district,
where we have no large meadows
to convert into settling basins, but
where the creek has a rapid fall,
principally thru deep canons,
would involve such an expense
as to make its operation prohibi-
tive and result in closing down our
mills. This subject will be dis
cussed at next Monday evenings
meeting and a large attendance is
particularly desired.
NJ. B. Tomblin has promised to
be present and address the meet
ing. 1t is also expected that Fred
Carroll, state mine commissioner,
and perhaps other speakers, will
also be present.
And then. of course, our mayor,
E. NJ. Moscript, will also take up
the Idaho Spring side of the
question. and it behooves every
miner and business man to attend
this Important meeting.

Clear Creek Pioneers
To Hold Annual Meeting

Arrangements are now nearly
complete for the annual business
and social gathering of Clear
Greek Pioneers Association, in
Idaho Springs on Tuesday, Aug.
%. The meeting will be held in
the Opera House this year, and
will be called to order at 10 clock
a. IN. After the business meeting
and a number of short addresses
by the pioneers and others who
have been asked to join in the
program, there will be a basket
picnic at the City park for the
pioneers and their families. and
friends. Everyone is invited to
attend and bring their family, but
children not accompanied by adults
will not be admitted.
Since the annual meeting of a
year ago number of the old
pioneers have been called to their
reward and their absence will be
noted, particularly that of the
much loved old pioneer-Elder
Griswold-who was ever ready to
participate in the ceremonies and
to tell entertaining stories of the
early days, and to sing with the
JOY of a child. He is gone but
not forgotten. Many fond men,
ories are created by attending these
pioneer meetings and particu-
larly by those who take part in
the meeting by having few words
to say in reference to their coming
to Clear Creek county.
Pioneers, don't miss this meet
ing and picnic.

Where to Pay Your
Red Cross Pledges

It is two months and more since
the town was Systematically can
vassed in behalf of the American
Red Cross society, and still there
are folks who seem in doubt re-
garding the payment of pledges
made at that time.
MIR. Benjamin Eltelgeorge was
officially appointed by the mayor
as Secretary Treasurer of h e
American Red Cross War Fund
for Idaho Springs, and he is ready
at all times to receive your con-
tributions. You may send him
your check, stop him on the street,
or call on him at his home and
pay your dues. You will be given
a receipt for each payment. But
for the convenience of the public,
Mr.. Marihugh, the post master,
has also been authorized to receive
such money. If more convenient
pay your pledge to him and he
will cheerfully give you receipt
for such payments.
Again, it isn't generally under
stood that these gentlemen are
not paid by the government for
their services. They. along with
several others, gave ten days or
more of their valuable time, last
June, soliciting your pledge. Un-
less you pay, without being solicit
ed each time portion of your
pledge is due, you increase their
labors by making it necessary for
them to call on you Either or
both of these gentlemen would be
very happy to do SO if time per-
mitted, but since both are very
busy men, you will be doing them
a favor and your country a service
by paying your pledge when due,
without being solicited. Please
be patriotic enough to do SO.
Now that you understand the
situation we believe that you will
Thank you.

Death Takes Well
Knowing Mining Man

The Community was shocked
Wednesday morning to hear of the
rather sudden death of Barret, G..
Jacobs, which occurred in St Joseph
hospital, Denver, Tuesday mid
night before his friends and associ-
ates hardly knew he was i'll.
Mr.. Jacobs was foreman of the
SUE and Moon mine tor Mr.. Her.
shey. Last Saturday noon he was
feeling so badly that he took to
his bed but did not call physician
until Sunday evening. Monday his
condition became serious, and
Monday night at 1890 J. c.. Her
shey and Rens Schirmer removed
him to St. Joseph hos in Mr..
Schirmers car, making the trip in
one hour and fifty minutes. Med
ical treatment failed to relieve the
man and at 5 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon he was operated on for
hernia. The operation was success
full but the patient was already too
badly poisoned as result OF the
obstruction and died at about mid
Tuesday night.
Mr.. Hershey and Willis Bristol
were at his bedside until eleven
O clock and he was thought to be
improving. In less than an hour
they were summoned but before
they could teach the hospital" Jake
was oead.
Mr.. Jacobs was born in New
York 46 years ago and came to
this county thirty years ago. He
lived for hong tine at Empire,
where he was engaged in various
mining enterprises and was prom
inent in democratic county politics.
He leaves a mother in New
York past the age OF so, and two
brothers and sister. One brother,
Louis, was here last February on
a visit.
The funeral will be conducted
from the Elks Home Sunday after
noon at 2 O'Clock and interment
will be in the Idaho Springs GEM
etery.
