REED AMENDMENT WEAK.

Mrs. Hungerford, president OF the
Colorado w. C. T. u, in an article
in the April w. c. T. U. Messenger
makes her position clear in reference
to the recent prohibition legislation.
In one paragraph of her article
she refers to the Reed amendment
and exposes its slack features:
'The Reed amendment, or the So
called 'bone-dry' rider to the postal
appropriation bill, with its apparent
prohibition of the permit system for
personal use, raised question as to
results and as to the kind@of state
legislation needed 20 supplement it.
After the 'bone-dry' dust ceased
clouding the mental vision it became
clear to some that it is a permit law

iastic boosters for the COW and heifer,

FOrder farmers are well pleased
with present crop prospects. The
snow of last Saturday has placed a
smile on each face.
r. f. Slawson has closed his gro

Mr.. and Mrs. c. d. Henderson were
visitors in Colorado Springs last
week.
Kay Dalgarn is now careing for a
Ford car, having purchased one in

to put the glims over the other boys
S. A. Wineinger is now feeding
a good sized bunch of cows. He is
an ardent supporter of the COW.
NJ. II. Huff is another who has in

to the fact that Great Britain I'M
ports practically all of her sugar, at
the outbreak of the European war
that country found itself shut of
from the source of rs per cent ot Its
supply, which it imported from Ger
many and Austria, and the RrlslSh
government was compelled to &C TO
the worlds markets fer sugar. oid-
ding up the price TO an eAhorblrdnt
degree. AS long as the United 5tateS
continues to import one-nllf Of its
sugar requirements from foreign
countries so long do we run the
chance of being placed in the same
Dredicament in which treat RIltain
found herself at the outbreak of the
war. We import As per cent Of the
sugar we consume fruta Cuba.

PREDICTS GOOD MOISTURE.

Charles Hensler of Ordway pre-
diets a good deal OF rain for this
season He has been in Ordway
thirteen years and states that his OBJ
servations have been that where
there has been lot of wind during
March and other spring weeks the
summer is followed by sufficient rain
to make crops. During the thirteen
summers there have been but three
wherein the drouth was such that
crops were either failures or almost
so, and those were summers, so he
states. which had but little wind dur
ing the spring weeks.
Mr.. Hensler has gardened here
ever since moving to Ordway, and
for several years he did so without
the use of irrigation. This spring
he has 5000 square feet of hotbeds
and will build about 1000 more
square feet.

Tennis Bowling  Football
 

Zimmerman and Kauff, who failed to connect safely in the two games at Chi cago, are about due to break loose with their bats. The Giants confidently count on winning the opener before the home crowd and feel that the chances also will favor them to win on the following day The followers of the western team, however, flushed with two victories, scent another one tomor- row. Having looked over McGraw's best pitchers, with the exception of Benton, and found none of them diff cult to reach, the SoX rooters think that no matter who goes in against Chicago the result will be the same.
 Pitching possibilities are always a matter of speculation. If Manager Rowland starts Cicotte, McGraw may send Sallee to oppose him. Another possibility is Schupp against Russell.
 1t is possible that Rariden will do the catching for New York as McCar- tvs shoulder and arm are some from the fall at the home plate in Chicago Sunday when he tried to touch out Iiebold.

REFERENDUM|S
 BEING PR0BED
 IN LOCAL COURT

Would you require the prosecution to prove to your satisfaction beyond all reasonable doubt, first, that MT. Korrick signed his name twice to a referendum petition; and, second, II he signed the petition a second time he signed it knowingly, before you would find him guilty"
 This question was put to the venire- men by George Purdy Bullard yester- day as they were being examined for jury duty in the case of the state versus Charles korrick, charged with signing his name more than once to referendum petition. It took several hours to examine the men owing to the number of questions put to them by both the state and counsel for the defense Whether they were sympa- thiZers of the labor unions, whether they had any utilization with a union, whether it would influence them if it became evident during the course of the trial that any particular labor union was anxious to see MT. Korrici convicted because he might differ from them in the belief of the aim or the rightness of a measure, were a few of the queries put by MT Bullard while County Attorney l.. M. Laney asked few pointed questions with reference to a certain business or ganiZation."
 MT Korrick is alleged to have
Arizona republican., 1917-10-09

signed the referendum more than once" said MT. Laney in his opening statement. He said that he would es- tablish beyond reasonable doubt that MT Korrick signed the petition at the request of D. O'Connor and again at the request of the same D. OConnor signed a second time on the same day
 At the conclusion of his statement Sidney P. Osborn, secretary of state took the stand and identified the doc uments as filed in his office. Photo- graphic copy of MT. Korricks alleged signature were introduced and the case continued until 9:30 o'clock this morn ing.
 The court room was crowded with labor union representatives, many of whom will testify for the state. They have become somewhat familiar with the details owing to the frequency with which some phase of the mini mum wage case bobs up in court
 Most of them were present in Jus tice Wheeler's court when O'COnner was given his preliminary hearing on a perjury charge He was bound over to the superior court and is now in jail awaiting trial This witness for the state is alleged to have sworn before a notary that he witnessed signatures when he is charged with not having been present when the names were affixed to the documents. O'COnner was arrested and brought back from the coast after the dropping of the ref erendum case in the superior court at the request of the Merchants x Man ufacturers' association when they dis covered fraud had been used in secur- ing signatures to the referendum peti-
 tion. Although the association had prompted the circulat ton of the refer endum petitions it wished the matter dropped when it learned of the meth Ods employed by certain circultaors. This was only discovered when the in- junction was brought to prevent the
 referendum being placed on the ballot i at the next general election.
 | OConner according to the testimony ] introduced before the matter was l dropped, was one of the circulators 1 who did not confine himself to carrying
 on the work lawfully. His arrest fol- | lowed and F T. Syfert was also ar rested on perjury charge in connec- l tion with the case His preliminary will be heard before Justice Wheeler , within a short time. it is understood i although the time for hearing has not ! been set
 ! The Korrick case which is before ! Judge Stanford, has attracted consid l erable interest and it is doubtful if il will be concluded in the one day set i for hearing Bullard & Jacobs and . Armstrong X Lewis represent MT. kor- i rick and the state is represented by 1 the county attorney and his assistant | Robert J3rrot.
