Sheriff Returns

Sheriff Humberstone left last
Saturday for Topeka, Kansas,

young men, Joe Urban: of Sedg-
wick Ynd John Maydor, whore

day of last week these boys took
it upon themselves to take about
$50 90 in m"ney belonging to
John Mavdor, Sr.. father of one
Of the boys. and Immediately hit
The high places for parts un-
known.
The authorities were notified
and a search for the runaways
was instituted. Several wires
were dispatched to different points
and the network of the law was
drawn. Nothing definite was
heard from until last Friday Sher-
itf Thunderstorm received word
by telegram stating that the Off.
GERS of that city had the tugitives
in custody, and would hold them
until the arrival of Mr.. Humber.
stone. We don't know just what
action will be taken with the
boys after being brought back
here, but we are informed that
the parents are not inclined to
prosecute for the offense. We
presume the boys decided they
wanted to do little travelling
and thought this good method.
We are of the opinion that they
will have learned good lesson
when the episode is closed.
Later-Sheriff Thunderstorm
returned Tuesday with the boys
and they were turned over to
their parents. There will be no
prosecution.

sugar bets.
The sugar beet. I believe. has been
grown in the Julesburg Irrigation
district since 1904. and the acreage
devoted to this crop has increased
from about 400 acres to 6174 acres
in 1916. The first beets grown were
shipped to Grand Island, Neb.. the
1905 crop being under contract for
the factory at Sterling. Colo.

Martha said: "You will have to excuse

something l always dread; washed
mine yesterday" Then our bctter-half

DESERVES AFFECTION OF MAN
Aerobatie Nuthateh May Be Appropri.
ately Designated as Typical
FouI-Weather Friend.

We all know about fnir-wcather
friends, says the Chicago Evening Post,
and some OF Us have panied recolluc-
tiOns of their fitting when hard times
come knocking mt the door. Therefore,
why not say Il word or two in praise
of Il foul-wcather friend who sticks to
us when billiards. are roaring and life
generally is pretty difficult?
That friend Is the white-breasted
nutliatch, who comes with friendly
confidence to the tree outside the vim
dow on the coldest and drcaricst days,
and there performs gymnnstic feats for
our entertainment.
There is no cold severe enough ia
chill his affections. His stock OF food
IS hidden in the crevices of the bark.
He is sure of provcnder, except when
Il cold rain falls, and freezes as it falls.
That seals his pantry doors, and it is
then the time to reward the nuthatcll
for his friendship by an Offering of
suet.
This bird of the winter, In his gray
and white, with n touch of black. Is ma
lures acrobat. Other birds are climb.
ers and, in pinch, can get down q
tree trunk as well us UP 1t; but they
must back down. while the nuthntch,
wien he wants to descend, simply Turns
| round and walks down the trunk head
first, thereby setting Mt defiance IL lot
of natures laws, and striking the hu.
man observer with nmazcincnt.
The nutchatch's greeting TO us Is
only "Quunk! quunk!" but it is q
wholesome and never u Guerulous
sound. The nuthatch Is Il bird of cold
weather and Of warm heart. 1t Is the
foul-wenthcr friend.

Organize for Cheap Credit

The new Act provides credit
only to organized farmers. It
requires only ten farmers to
form the local farm loan associ-
alton, but. any number may
join. And the farmer, by join
ing with his fellow borrowers,
becomes liable only to the ex-
tent of ten per cent of the
amount of his loan. His own
loan must range somewhere
between 500 and $1O,O GOO, so
his liability ranges between
ten dollars and one thousand
dollars, depending on the size
of his loan.
The Federal government will
print, with it's own plates and
dies, farm loan bonds. These
will be handed over to the
twelve Land Banks. The far
