Calf Club Movement

In Illinois last year nine calf clubs
were organized for the purpose OF
interesting children in the dairy in
austry. The banks lend the money
to boys and girls OF the proper age
to buy the calves. The conditions are
that the calves purchased must be
either thoroughbred Holstein or a
high grade Holstein. About a year
after the club is organized the calf
is brought to town and sold at auc-
ton The money is loaned by the
banks to limited number at n
reasonable rate OF interest. When
the calf is sold the difference be-
tween the price paid. plus the inter
es, and the selling price, will be the
profit going to each child. Calf clubs
have been such a decided success in
Illinois. where the dairy industry
IL much further advanced than 1t is
in Colorado. under conditions not
near as favorable, that the story of
a bank cashier who had practical eX-
perience with one OF these calf clubs
will be OF interest and is hereby
presented
Thomas F. Chamberlain. cashier
OF the First National Bank of Brigh-
ton, Ill, purchased in Wisconsin last
March, eighty-four head of heifers
ranging In age from six to sixteen
to Brighton and sold to school child
ren in that vicinity at actual cost,
the bank taking the child's note
bearing the usual rate of interest
They paid an average of siS per
head for these calves. delivered at
Brighton, with the understanding
that In less than one year they were
to be brought to Brighton and sold
at public auction The difference in
what they paid. plus the interest,
and what the heifers brought at the
sale was the profit the child made
on the transaction. At this sale the
highest priced heifer brought sl65.
This sale was held Friday, De-
cember sth. and the eighty-four
heifers were sold for cash at public
auction to the highest bidder. and
brought an average OF $3.50 per
head. a total of t7.7is. The notes
given by the children totaled s3.-
s12. having a profit OF si.137. This
sale was the first OF its kind held
in this country. and afforded con-
vincing evidence of the practicabllity

La Junta Wins Two Games

The La Junta high school basket
ball teams got away with flying
start on the 1917 schedule by an
nexing double victory at the 4 O
skating rink on last Friday evening,
January 18th, The local boys defeated
the Pueblo Centennial boys by
score of 20 to 20 in game that
was replete with fast team work,
close scores and thrills of every des-
cription. At no time did the Centen-
NAL boys lead in the scoring but
they were never more than three or
four points in the rear and several
times succeeded in tieing the score.
Lowe, of the visitors. did splendid
work for his team and was ably as
sisted by his associates, but the
whole Pueblo team was wild on hit
ting the baskets when opportunity
for shots came to them. For the
home team, It would be hard to name
individual stars. as the whole five
played together in such perfect uni
son as to form an efficient fight
ing machine. Klein's aggressiveness
at forward and Nc Donald's activity
as guard were noticeable features.
Pueblo had two players put out of
the game on personal fouls; La Jun
Ia had none, though three members
reached the pOint where they re-
ceived warning.

Army Finds Motorcycle
Really Indispensable

"The importance the motorcycle
has attained in the army is little real
lied by the general public, whose at
tention has been centercd on the de-
velopment of machine guns, field ar
tillery and the army's enlistment per-
sonnet" said Sam F. Boord of the
Omaha Bicycle company, Indian mo-
torcycle distributors.
Nevertheless the motorcycle,
though heralded by no controversies
and discussions in the public press,
has been coming to the front by leaps
and bounds. Already hundreds of the
machines are in service along the
border, and more are being added
continually. Illustrative of its present
prominence recently sent by an army
officer, stationed on the border, to
the Hendee Manufacturing company,
builders of Indian motorcycles.
THE letter states in part: Our
present company was organized on
May "a, 1916, with a nucleus of two
officers and forty-eight enlisted men,
with twenty-five motorcycles, twelve
being solo machines and ten with
side cars. At present the company
has developed into an organization
of three officers, 100 enlisted men,

BUTTERMILK FOR
THE FARMERS HOGS
Water to Be Extracted in
Omaha to Save Freight and
Then Added Later.
IS SHIPPED IN DRY FORM

Buttermik for the farm:rs' hogs,
shipped to his home town in the form
OF dry meal, properly and tightly bar
relied, is in prospect for the Nebraska
farmer. The Coils PRODUCTS COM
pany, now building its big plant at the
corner of Ninth and Dodge streets,
for the manufacture Of buttermilk into
meal, plans to develop farmer trade
for its product.
The manufacture OF buttermilk
meal is not entirely a new industry.
IT,, has been done II some years,
and the Coils factory is the second
such plant started in Omaha. How
ever, the meal has never been sold
much to the farm trade for hogs. 1t
has been used in the manufacture OF
prepared pancake -four and other
products of this kind
This new plant in Omaha will not
only manufacture it for human con-
sumption in the shape Of pancake
-four and in other ways, but will bar
rel it in great quantities for swine.
The advantage here is that it can be
shipped in the dry, powdered form,
property barreled, for great distances,
for little freight charge. When the
farmer gets it he can add five parts
of water, stir it with stick and have
perfectly good, rich buttermilk in a
moments notice. Thus the freight
charges are reduced by the extraction
of the water in the factory. The water
can be added later

FIRESTONE STOCK
HELD BY WORKERS
Generous Plan Put Into Effect
by Big Tire Company Ex-
ecutive at Akron.
GET ALL PRIVILEGES

An important page OF history in
American business has just been made
by the Firestone Tire and Rubber
company, Akron, O.
With the winding up of the books
on the plan Of stock distribution
inaugurated by H. S. Firestone, pres
ident OF the company, the records
show that over 90 per cent Of the em-
ployes responded heartily to the IN
vestment offer made. Out of 1880
employees, 1000 are now stockholders
in the company.
This means that they are more
than profit sharers, as that term is
generally used. The Firestone COM
pany has shown its confidence to
the extent that every employee sub
scribing under this plan Immediately
becomes registered stakeholder and,
as such, is entitled to all the privileges
of stakeholder
Keen Interest Aroused.
The sweeping acceptance of the
plan by the organization has stirred
up the keenest interest among indus
trial experts because of its strikingly
original features.
For example, the stock allotted, APP
proximately $3000,000 worth, was dis
tributcd on the basis of length of
service-not on the usual basis Of
salary earned. In short, the sweeper
or the shoveer got more than the
high executive il he had served longer,
up to a period of five years. All who
had been employed over five years
were on an equal basis.
This arrangement meant an ADJUST
ment of longtime payments to en-
able those making the lowest salaries
to get the maximum amount Of stock.
Those who wish, of course, can pay
for the stock Immediately. but the
minimum installment necessary on a
thousand-dollar purchase, for in
stance, is only $500 per month.
This is apparently the first time
that plan has been evolved and put
through which in no way discriminatcs
between classes of employees.
The stock was sold to employees at
500 per share, while the market price
quotation il $l45 per share.

turned ten True Bills of Indictment
We are much gratified to gay that 1t
10 matter of profound congratulatIon
to as. as it must be to Your Honors
and the people Of the county generally.
that there have been SO few infractions
of the law. We have had but one al
legged violation of the Local Option law
brought TO our attention and In this
case summons were issued twice for
the three witnesses named. but they
were found to be without the jnriadic-
tion of the county.
We have examined the License List
furnished US by the Clerk Of the Court
and We found no violations of the law.
With reference 10 the County Com
missioners' Office, we can but endorse
all that was said in the Report of the
Grand Jury for the September Term of

Mr.. A. r. King, representing this
most important office, appeared before
our body and presented to us very ex-
haustive and Instructive synopsis of the
financial condition and workings of this
Office during 1912 and 1913.
We visited the jail and found every
thing there in most commendable shape.
We would, however, recommend some
system of drainage that would relieve
this place of much that il moet objee-

adding to the appearance of this place.
We would recommend the removal Of
