NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR WHEAT.

A great number of substances
never before used for the purpose
have been tried at breadstuirs since
the war scarcity Of grains began to
make itself felt. Two brothers in
Germany are now reported to have
perfected method of making flour
from spring buds of lime and beech
trees. The flour is said to be about
as nutritious as barley and to yield
large by-products of fat and animal
folders. 1t is estimated that half a
million tons of new flour can be pro-
duccd annually in Germany. The
difficulty is in gathering the buds.

GIRL FOUGHT IN TRENCHES
Part in Thirty Battles Against
the Invaders.

The Polish people have gained
strength instead of despair, says u
writer in personal narrative of her
visit to devastated Poland. Still, she
says, the women walk through the
streets with tired aspect and sad
faces. They know the bitterness Of
war without experiencing any of its
excitement and glamor. They had
not had the opportunity which came
to kazia Novak, a girl twenty
years old, to go out and fight for
Poland.
''Kazia, whom I met in Cracow at
the tearoom established for conva-
lesccnt legionaries, has fought in 80
battles against the enemy. She was
carried away by the general enthusi-
asm which swept through Poland
when the city was still in the hands
of the cars forces. Kaza escaped
being wounded, but from staying for
days at stretch in water-iilled
trenches, was attacked by rhcuma-
tism. Hence her appearance among
the Polish convalesccnts at Cracow,
where a wealthy woman who had
worked for the welfare of the wound
ed soldiers from the beginning of the
war, met her and verified her story.
10 look at Kazia, one would not
suspect her of possessing the strength
and courage which are needed by
woman soldier, for she is timid of
glance and delicate of feature. She
served for IS months in the field"

sure all parties that the affairs of
/ The Peoples Oil & Gas Company
/ shall, and will be administered in a
square and honorable way and the
stockholders will get value received
for their money invested in the work
that will be accomplished.
The promoters of the Company all
live in the valley and intend to con-
tinue to do so. None of the direct
ors are drawing any salary and as
President of the Company, l wish to
say that l ask no compensati ton for
services rendered to the Company
until we have paying field. l have
staked my all on being able to de-
velop commercial wells and if we
succeed there will be enough for ev-
erybody in the valley and if we fail
it will be from only one cause, and
that will be the lack of sufficient
money to properly drill the field.
When the first well is started there
will be present one of the best oil
and gas experts in the U. S., as we
have already engaged his services
and 1t will be his duty to keep close
log of the we'll, make tests of all the
formations that the drill passes
through and from these tests he will
render true. and accurate statements
of the well. Everything will be done
in the open and nothing concealed.
Personally, l am convinced that the
Oil and gas is here and l truly hope
that the citizens of the valley will at
once take advantage of the oppor-
tunity and come in with their money
and good will and be a factor in
making success of the proposition,
as the field should belong to the peo-
pie of the valley. But one thing is
sure and that is, the money for de-
veloping this promising field is some
place to be had and we will cheerful
ly keep up the search until it is
found Another way the field can be
developed: If the citizens of the
valley, or any part or them, feel that
they are more competent to develop
the field than are the officers of The
Peoples Oil and Gas Company, let
such citizens form themselves into
working body and We will gladly give
them part of the big lease held by
The Peoples Oil & Gas Company, and
we will give them plenty of acreage
upon which to operate, and further
we will not ask them to pay any roy
alties to our Company. They can

Oil in The San Luis Valley
Continued from page eight

Bonanza would at once enter their
second boom days as cheap power
would enable the mining fraternity
to work mines and treat these low
grade ores that they are prohibited
from handling under present con-
ditions. 1t would mean new mines
in old camps with big chances of new
mining camps being discovered. A
big natural gas field would mean
smelters to treat the zinc ores of
Leadville and other camps.
With all of the foregoing posi-
bilities which are sure to become
realities, if commercial oil and gas
field is developed, it puts it squarely
up to the citizens of the valley as to
whether the required amount of
drilling shall be done to develop the
field, and there are several ways it
can be done. Here is way Number
One: The writer, with G. G. Rush
ton and A. G. Morris, after fighting
Tor nearly three years and spending
our time and a considerable sum of
money, finally succeeded in obtaining
from the State Board of Land Com
missiOners an Oil and Gas Lease on
over $4,000 acres of State land in
Alamosa and Saguache counties
This lease covers what is known at
present to be the heavy gas belt of
the valley. After obtaining the
lease we had Charles w. Waterman
OF Denver, Colorado, who is known
to be one of the most able lawyers
in the West, to incorporate The Peo-
pies Oil & Gas Company with cap
ltalization of 100000; Capital
STOCK $4,000 shares at $1,000 per
share, stock worcestershire. We
then transferred the State Oil and
Gas lease to The Peoples Oil and Gas
company Everything pertaining to
the Company has been done in per-
iectly legitimate and lawful way and
the Company is now in shape to do
business, and we extend to all of the
'i'i2ens of the valley an invitation to
come into the Company and be part
"ers with us so we can all work and
pun together to the end that the field
can be developed and will be owned
'" lhe people Of the valley. No one
u" insure flowing wells but can as
The Monte Vista journal., 1917-12-22

have the land under the same terms
that we have it from the State. De
velopment is what we all want. 1t
is foolish for our good people to be
investing their money in other fields
upon the sayso of some agent, and
where their chance of success is far
from being as good as it is at home.
II there are any number of men in
the valley that object to joining
hands with me and my associates, |
will make them the following offer:
Organize your Company, take block
of our lease and l will personally
put into your treasury 100000 in
cash to help you sink the first well
two thousand feet, and will in addi-
ton to the one thousand dollars,
contribute to you 81 90 per foot for
every foot that you will exceed in
depth over two thousand feet. The
foregoing offers are made in good
faith and l stand ready to make
them good as l want to see the val
ley developed. This valley is full of
wealthy men and / know at least 100
of them that can wen afford to put
one thousand dollars each into the
development fund. If we fail, which
is very unlikely, it will be easy to
figure our loss. If we succeed, which
we will very likely do, it will take
some figuring to estimate the posi-
BILE earnings of our investment.

SECOND TRIAL BEGINS MONDAY
Miss Lena Kinderknecht Charged
With First Degree Murder. First
Trial Ended II to / for Ac-

Miss Lena Kinderknecht will be
tried for the second time for murder
in the first degree here, beginning
Monday, before Judge ]. G.. Ruppen-
thai. The first trial ended IN a hung
jury said to be eleven to one for ac-
quittal after having been out over
twenty-eight hours.
At the first trial she pleaded emo
tiOnal insanity and a variation of the
unwritten law which she claims to
have invoked to protect her younger
sister when Frederick P. Richardson
was killed on February 5th. Lena
first trial although in fact she has
been with the family of Sheriff Alex
Weltz.
At the previous trial Lena barred
the intrigue of her sister, Mary, to
save herself Her testimony then
was sensational in the extreme and
went into exact detail as to the eX-
tent that Lena claims Richardson's s
relations with Mary were improper
The defense showed in its testimony
that Lena had two manias, sex moral
ity and religion. Although the char
acter of Richardson was not on trial,
Lena's attorneys E A Rea and j.
H. Simminger, showed that he was
:
of wife and child abandonment at He
bron, Neb., and they attempted to
show that his actions with other wom-
en- had not been of the best, bat
+ Judge Ruppenthal would not admit it.
+ It is not known what the defense will
use at this trial, because at the first
trial several new lines for the prose
cution were opened up and these
county attorney, z. c. Flood, will
have at his disposal, which were IN
available then. They were brought
out by Floods cross-examination OF
the witnesses for the defense.
Two of Lena's brothers testified
that they had ordered Richardson of
their farms when he came there tC
get Mary, and as to the many alterca-
tions with Richardson over his atten.
tions to their sister, Flood made then
admit that all this time they had beer
going to beer drinks with Richardson
and that Richardson had furnished
the drinks.
Lena's father said on the stanc
that the family had written to Lena
TO come home from Denver to assis
them in winning Mary away from
what seemed to be the spell Richard
son had cast over her. Floods cross
examination of Lena, herself
brought out the fact that she did no
know OF the attentions of Richard
son to Mary until the Sunday after
noon following her arrival in Hays a
Christmas time.
Lena testified that she never knew
she shot at all until the Sheriff cam
after her but that If she did so
was in self defense when Richardson
kicked at her as he stood up in tn
, automobile IN which he and Mar,
had just returned from a ride Leni
said he was standing up behind tn
wheel Flood viii attempt to show a
this trial that this is impossible.
: The case is attracting wide atten
ton. As the first trial progressed tn

store
Mr.. Jacobs, himself, is building q
two story store in the Citizens Bank
block 20x75, with Offices above. II
viii cost $4,000.
Mr.. Cochran will extend the build
ing above the Morrison jewelry store
20 accommodate Offices. This will en-
tail an expenditure of S250O.
Mrs. Gretchen King is building in
the bank block a 20x75 one story
brick building for the use of King
Bros. Drug Co., to cost $4,000.
Harry Felten is erecting a series
of five stores just west of the First
National Bank and will put into the
contract $4,000. These five rooms
will be occupied by the Gottschalk
Furniture Co., a meat market a res
taurant and Mr.. Felten himself. The
above store buildings are all under
actual construction but the addition
above Morrison's jewelry store.
Mr.. Jacobs has just finished the
$4,000 building for the A. o. An
derson Produce Co., the wholesale
fruit company of Hays. He is also
erecting the new 100000 High School
building and the Walter Steadman
$4,000 frame residence and his own
brick and stone residence 3Ox4O, with
a tile roof, in the northern part of
town. Mr.. Jacobs home cost about
$4,000. This week Mr.. Jacobs re-
ceived the contract to erect the new
hank building for G. G. Cochran at
Ellis and viii add to that towns bust
ness buildings a new $4,000 bank.
A few weeks ago Mr. Jacobs fin
ished the new Strand Theatre for Mr.
Kirkman, costing about $4,000 and
the fixtures an additional $4,000.
Throughout Hays are many hous-
es just finished. The town is spring
ing up all over itself.
There is some talk about the town
biting off more than it can chew,
about the fear of an unhealty boom,
and about doing things too fast. Some
think that the times are not ripe nor
good for such a big advance But
let it be said right here, that Hays is
just building up to what it must to
keep going at all. No one, not even the
most ardent prophet of the future
of Hays thinks for a moment that
the present advance is what 1t should
be or what it would have been if we
had a good crop year or If the war
had not come on. Hays simply had
TO take these few steps to keep from
going back. Hays is simply holding
its own now and not to have had
these improvements now would have
been disaster. The poor crop year
released local labor and made it pos
sible to get it at all. This not only
keeps the money spent for labor at
home, but helps those out who have
labor to sell to have home market.
Every way around it's a paying thing
for Hays.
Now then, if f'Hays is not coming
into its own," it has at least passed
the ''going to be- stage, and notice is
hereby served on Salina, Hutchinson
and Wichita
