NOT RAILROAD RATES THAT
AFFECTED COLORADO SPUDS

/ A Colorado man who was here on
business last week said potatoes
were a drag on the market in west
ern Colorado on the Moffat road
and many acres were undug while
we down here in Kansas were pay
| ing extravagant prices. He blamed
the railroads for the excessive rates
for freight.
The Santa Fe has looked up the
matter and J. F. farrell writes to
the Reflector:
THE freight rate on potatoes
from the Grand Junction district of
Colorado to the Missouri river 1882
miles) and Kansas points is "a cents
bushel and from Greeley and
Alamosa GAO miles) 1t is Fl cents
a bushel AS the price Of potatoes in
Kansas early last fall was from
$1.25 to $3.50 a bushel, and has
been advancing steadily till now the
price is $3.50 a bushel, 1t readily
will be seen that it was not the
freight rate that kept Colorado po-
tatoes down to from 30 to so cents,
as you say, and made 1t unprofit-
able for some farmers to dig pota-
toes at all AS to the Moffat road
territory the rate on potatoes from
that section to the Missouri river is
40 cents a hundred or "a cents
bushel.
81 have just been advised that
potatoes in the San Luis valley and
on the western slope in Colorado,
sold at the opening of the shipping
season at $135 per hundred. and
steadily advanced to $4.75 per hun
bred. The major portion Of the crop
moved at prices between $500 and
s400 per hundred. The freight rate
from the San Luis valley is 35 cents
per hundred, or p cents a bushel;
from the western slope. 40 cents
per hundred, or "a cents a bushel,
A careful Investigation fails to re-
veal single case Of Colorado pota-
toes which were not dug last year.
"In view of the rate of from Fl
to "a cents a bushel on Colorado
potatoes to Kansas haul Of
nearly 1000 miles in some instances
1T would be interesting to know
Just what kind OF kinks you would
take out Of the transportation Of
as a starter. Do you have
IN idea that the government, own
ing the railroads. would haul pota-
.oes 1000 miles for "a cents a bush
u and do 1t more quickly and with
better handling than the railroads

GETTING READY FOR DRAFT
OF SOLDIERS NEXT MONDAY

On Monday, June IS, the voiun-
teer system will be stopped and the
draft system will go into effect.
Sheriff Sherman received orders
this morning concerning the pun
ishment of those who have not reg
istered for the selective draft. Ev-
erv person that failed to register
has seriously increased the burden
of those that have registered. Am
nile notice was given of the day and
time of registration so that all men
between the ages of 81 and 80 in
elusive that did not register will
be arrested as soon as it is proved
that they have evaded the law
Registrars will assist in bring
ing non-registrants to the attention
of the police. If anyone that has not
registered is suspected of being OF
the draft age, public records will
be examined as to his age.
Anyone convicted of evading the
selective draft will be given one
year in prison and will also be
forced to register at the time of his
arrest.

ReuiUing Old Time
Yule Customs

CPECIAL efforts are being made by
~ women In many communities to
spread a revival OF the old GUS
toms regarding Christmas. Some years
ago n Boston woman with a toucn Of
antiquarian spirit managed to stimu-
late Boston to revive a pretty Yule-
tide custom by celebrating Its coming
by singing carols In the streets and by
Illuminating the houses through the
placing Of candles In the windows.
Other cities emulated Boston In this
matter. In Carlisle. Pa, a community
Christmas tree was lighted in the pub
lie square, and Its glowing Joy was
continued all along the streets by light
ed candles placed In the windows,
many Of which showed in the middle
Of the rooms so lighted up, displayed
to the pnssersby in the night, private
Christmas trees, the glitter and beauty
Of which thus were shared with all.
An objection to this attempt ut glad
ness-at least so far as concerns the
use Of c~andles-has been the risk Of
fire. But these days Of electricity or
even of gus seem to minimize the idea
Of danger, and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to do away
with sill risk in the carrying out of
the friendly suggestion. 1t Is advised
therefore that 'the gladness and
brightness of the home on Christmas
eve be not kept behind closed blinds"
and to that end 1t IS suggested that the
light from every window, whatever Its
nature, be permitted to shine into the
streets until midnight. The idea of
light Is associated with all that Is good
In life. The glow Of the cracking Yule
log betokencd the hospitality ready to
greet the stranger at that time, but
there was more to 1t than that. Light
in days gone by was supposed to keep
off evil spirlts.-Sallie Wistar In Phila'
delphia Public Ledger.

TheC hristmasBird

n OASTED swan was the Christmas
~ piece de resistance in Chaucer's
day, but this dish gave place to
the peacock, and the peacock in its
turn was conquered by the turkey,
when Capt. John Smith, fresh from
his Virglnian wars, came home to tell
the amazed English folk of the bird
that he saw paradlng the new world
forests, Exactly like a proud Turk
showing Off before his harem."
When the peacock was In its glory
at Chrlstmastide its plumage was gen
orally restored to the roasted bird and
It's beak gilded. Sometimes the whole
bird was covered with gold leaf and a
strip Of cotton, saturated with spirit,
set alight in It's beak-a relic possibly,
with the English snapdragon and
blazing pudding, Of the fire worship OF
pagan days. A lady Of noble birth and
great beauty was always chosen to
bear the bird into the banqueting hall,
In the days Of tournaments 1t was
over the peacock that the knights, with
upllfted swords, swore their oaths OF
chivalry and yalor. The last record OF
such fare seems to have been not upon
a Christmas, but at the banquet giver
by the duke Of Granada to the duke
Of Clarence, afterward William Nv o.
England.
It must be admitted that golden pea
cocks and boars' heads have most al
Turing sounds to one with a jaded ap
petite, and the England Of old, witt
its rolstering carol singers. seems {
most attractive land to have lived in
But the E%nglishman Of today is NOR
than well content to have his carols
sung by a little cockney lad, to laugl
at the pantomimes In his magnificent
ly comfortable theaters and to feast a
home on turkey, mince pie and tn
blazing pudding.

Here's a Merry
Christmas Game

TIME old English game Of tip re-
qulres the use Of enough assorted
Christmas candles, nuts, ralslns
and other daintles to make q small pile
upon n table, also a pair Of sugar tongs.
One Of the party Is chosen, who must
retire to another room, while the re-
naming players decide upon n Of the
dainties in the pile to be known as
Tip" The chosen person Is then re-
called and with the tongs removes
pieces from the pile, trying to avoid
the piece named Tip, Of which, howev-
er, he does not know the location. All
pieces removed belong to him unless he
owe "tlp," when all must be returned
to the pile and the turn passes to the
next player, who retires to the other
room while another "tip" Is named. A
player may pass his turn when, after
drawing several pieces, he wants to
avoid the possibility Of losing them
through drawing tip The game con-
tinues until the pile disappears
