Has Brother Killed At The Front

viii Wallace, assistant manager
OF the Denver Alfalfa Milling Com
pany, of Hartman, received word
the first of the week of the death of
a brother, Jack Wallace. who was
killed in action at the front in
France. He enlisted in the cana
dian army several months ago and
was later commissioned lieutenant
A few months ago he was transferred
to the Royal Engineers in which
division he was serving at the time
he was killed. His parents live at
Aberdeen, Scotland, where the
young man grew to manhood. He
is nephew of our townsman, John
Duncan, and visited in Holly for
several days about three years ago,
where he has a number of friends
who will learn of his untimely
death with sincere sorrow.

State Remembers Gardsmen

Each of the 5000 National guards
men of Colorado will be presented
a new 1917 $40 gold piece, minted in
Denver, next Tuesday as an express
sion of thanks for their loyalty to
the state. 1t is refreshing to note
that the state has at least recogniz-
ed the fact that her soldiers can
use little money. Prehaps if they
had produced little cash earlier
in the game the boys wouldn't have
been so anxious to be mustered in
to federal service-Rocky Ford

County Chapter, Red Cross Society
met Sep. 4th at the Commercial
Club rooms. Mrs. L. HI. Kephart
is acting chairman during the alb
sence of Mrs. Partridge.
A membership campaign since
the last meeting resulted in an en-
rollment of ninty-f1ve members,
and more names are promised, so
that we expect large membership.
A room at the land office will be
fitted up for work room and the
loan of sewing machines and cleo
trio irons are needed The next
meeting will be in the workroom
Sep. 18th at two o'clock and it is
hoped every one will come ready
for work.

One Way OF Stopping It

1t is reported that over in Eng
land Lincolnshire farmer, Geo
rye Thompson, was fined $27, 500 for
selling potatoes at above maXium
prices fixed by the food controller.
1t would appear from this distance
that Uncle Sam could take little
tip from this report and give our
people little more action and less
talk. Congress has been doing a
lot of talking but as yet we have
had minimum of action. Evident
ly they act in England and talk
later policy that the august
body" at Washington might CLEAN
some pointers from.

No Drafted Man Can Enlist In Any
Branch

Advertisement on the part of the
marine recruiting service that draft
ed men may voluntarily enlist in
that branch of service with the
en- sent of members of local boards"
is branded as an error in telegram
received today by both local boards,
dated at Washington and forward
ed thru the Denver office of the ad-
jutant general.
Despite repeated instructions to
the contrary" the Washington tele-
gram reads in substance, 1T has
come to the attention of this depart
ment that volunteer branches OF the
military and naval service are again
advising their recruiting representa-
tives that drafted men may enlist
in those branches.
las matter of fact, the presi-'
dents regulations cover the subject
thoroly and comperhensively. They
say that no drafted man may en-
list in any branch of military or
naval service after his name has
been posted in call for physical
examination.
Recent advertisements by the ma
rine corps department that draft
ed men may enlist with the consent
of members of local boards are er-
rOneOus."

Nix No. 2 spouts Heavily.

The Nix No. 2, which is still on
top of the sand, and has not been
drilled in went on an unexpected
rampage yesterday noon, oil shoot
ing to the top of the derric thru
the ten inch casing. There was no
wind to scatter the oil, but it food
ed the land around the derric.
The spouting continued for a short
time, probably fifteen minutes, dur
ing which time it is estimated that
probably two hundred barrels Of
oil. .gilshed4 from the well. It was
great sight, according to those
who saw it. The drillers now have
the gas in the well mudded off but
intend to make sure that it will
hold before they drill deeper into
the sand. 1t is impossible to tell
just what they will strike when
they go deeper and they do not
want to take any chances with this
well. The well is estimated to be
producing now at the rate of not
less than five hundred barrels
day and keeps up steady flow.
1t is expected that it will be drilled
in sometime today or tomorrow

I Work on the plan of Secre- tary of the Treasury McAdoo for life indemnity insurance to the soldiers and sailors of the United States is progressing. The advisory committee of 10 prominent insurance men and other committees and the Sec. retary are working out the de- tails and a bill will ultimately be drafted and presented to Congress for action. The re- port of the various committees and the Secretary's action furnish a tangible working bas- is for the legislation.
 The insuring of our soldiers and sailors will be only a new application of a we'll known principle. Employees insur- ance, especially for those en- gagged in hazardous employ ment, has long been recognized as a just and wise and profit able policy in private business, and has been successfully oper. ated for years. In fact through the United States Employees Compensation Commission ci- vilian employees of the Govern ment are now insured against accidents occurring in the course of their employment.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
(Kansas City, July IS, 1917)
Cattle

Cattle
 We had the heaviest receipt of cattle of the year this weeI, and uneven market. With a run of 33,000 here Monday, the market ruled slow and general ly 10 to 15c lower on all classes of killing steers except the heavy cornfeds, which were about steady. Tuesday and Wednesday trading was active and all of Mondays loss was regained, but Thursday with about 10c on beef grades. The best cornfed steers this week sold at 1880, new top. While our fat steers show some de- cline as compared with last week, we thing our market has held up exceptionally we'll when you consider that we had 71,O00 cattle here this week. Best heavy cows and heifers are closing slow and a little lower for the week, while the medium light weights are 25 O 35 lower. Best classes of yearlings steady. Bulls 25 lower. Veal and killing calves 75 to 1.25 lower.
 The best classes of stockers and feeders sold steady all week, but the plain and com mon kinds were slow sellers and in some cases show from 40 CO 75 decline. Best stock cows 10 O IS lower. Stock calves 50 O 75 lower.
 | Hogs
 | Receipts of hogs this week were moderate and the quality poor. Although the market or Monday opened up steady since then there has been a weakness to the trade and to- I days prices show from 30 co 50 lower than last Friday Hogs of good weight and qual. ity continue to be the only class that are in anything like decent ] demand. Packers have con- ttinued their campaign against the common and grassy hog1 all week and this class has been very hard to sell. Ship pers have had such small or Hers that they have never been much help to the market. Ple market slow.but about steady on good pigs.
 Today with 1000 hogs our market ruled dull and 10 c low CT with 8 top of 1850; bulk sales 14.25 to 15.40. Hogs av. 200fb and over selling largely from 14.25 to 15.40. Lights mostly 14.25 O 14.75. 215 to 225fb grassers are selling around 14.80.
 We look for moderate runs for the near future and the sit uation looks lower.
