WHEN THE TIME COMES

The best methods of soil man
agement are those which make
1t possible to utilize the nitro
gen of the air through legumes
and the insoluble plant food of
the soil by making it slowly
available during the growing
season. When 1t Is either i'm
possible or impractical to fur
nish from these sources suffi-
Gent plantfood for crop pro-
duction, 1t becomes desirable to
make use Of an additional
amount in commercial form. In
the case of virgin soils large
crops usually are secured with
out applying any fertilizing ma
terial whatever. But under such
treatment the richest lands soon
decrease in prOductiveness. Re
course Is then had to clover and
farm manure to check decreas-
ing crop yields. However,
time inevitably comes when
the resources of the farm are
not sufficient to furnish the prop
er amount Of pIantfood for
most profitable crop production.
II Is then that the application of
commercial fertilizers becomes
desirable and necessary, if a
permanent system of soil fertil-
ity is to be coupled with a profit
able type of agriculture.-Ohio

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE

After separation over thirty years,
and when the golden autumn of life
has been reached, the romance which
had budded in the lives of teacher and
pupil way back in those earlier days
once more burst into bloom and came
to happy fruition when Mr.. VIM. f
Simpson led Miss Emma r. Hamilton
to the marriage alter.
The pathway of the two had drift
ed apart in those past years, Mr.. Simp-
son welded another and Miss Hamilton
buried her betrothed, but memories OF
the first love lived through the inter
vening years and after many urgent
calls the bfide-tobe arrived in Glen
wood to meet her intended, and with
the sweet strains of Lohengrin we'd
ding march vibrating on the air the
vows were taken "Until Death do us
Part" Mrs. Simpson comes from In,
diana, Pennsylvania, and Mr.. Simpson
is the well known and highly respected
postmaster at Marvine. The marriage
took place at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Levi Ward on South Grand avenue, ii
nine O'Clock Saturday evening, October
sixth, with the Rev. VIM. Pepper Of
ficiating. An hour was devoted To
music and delicious wedding supper
before the departure of Mr.. and Mrs
Simpson for their home at Marvine.

groom were present; among them, Mr.
and Mrs James A. Blair, Mr.. and Mrs

oUR Coh1M1ssARY CLERK
DRAWS TEN YEARS

Colorado Springs, Oct 10.-William
NcDouald, alias Will George Berger,
who yesterday pleaded guilty in the
district court to charge of burglary,
was sentenced by Judge W. 8. Morris
this morning to serve from nine to ten
years in the state penitentiary. This
is the same sentence as was imposed
by Judge J. w. Shaefor last week on
NcDonald's Is pal, Moran.
Mcdonald pleaded for leniency, stat
ing that he had helped the police to
recover all the stolen property. The
property had been recovered as mat
ter of fact before Mcdonald, who held
up the policeman who tried to arrest
him on September 21 and escaped, was
captured in Florence; Colo. The two
men had secured twin boys, aged 13
years, from Denver, under pretense Of
adopting them and. were forcing tn"
bSys to help them in their burglaries.

Another complaint was filed early
this week against Crofut and Castner,
in connection with the crooked work
Of Mcdonald, who acted as commissar ry
man for the canon road camp and pur-
chased much merchandise which he
failed to deliver to the road camp but
which he is accused of turning over to
-Crofut and Castner for a nominal con-
sideration.
Hailed before Justice Rice the men
were each placed under bonds in the
sum of $500 and they thus far have
been unable to furnish the bonds and
are therefore prisoners in the county
Jail. z f-
1t is said that this shady case is
taking many new angles and that it
looks very. shady for others beside these
two junk dealers. The case is being
Investigated thoroughly and it is to
be hoped that those who are guilty
will be made to suffer for their crook
ed work.
Mcdonald, alias Barger, the commits
sary man with whom the deals were
supposed to have been made, has been
sentenced to the pen for ten years fol
burglary at Colorado Spriugs, in q lit
Il more than thirty days after he was

W. L. aIRDNER Is DEAD

William Lafayette Girdner q pioneer
of Garfield county and for many years
resident of Carbondale, died at 1:3O
Thursday afternoon at st. Luke's hos
pital, in Denver from cancer of the
throat from which he had long been a
sufferer.
Up to few years ago Mr.. Girdner
was stockholder in the First Nation

Mercantile company of that place. For
several years he was the foreman of
the Big -Four ranch and remained in
charge of that excellent property until
it was. sold to II. W. Yeomans.
His health broken, Mr.. Girdner re
tired from the active participation in
life's battles and sought to take life
easy, which from financial stand
point he was amply able to do, but the
latent malady which his system had
long harbored, began to assert itself
with dangerous virulence and during
the past few years Mr.. Girdner has
been almost constantly copfined to the
hospital and under expert medical and
surgical care.
Although his death was shock to
the community in which he was fo'
many years an important factor, it &C
casioped no particular surprise for the
doctors have recently held out no hore
for his recovery and his friends have
recently been advised that the end was
very near.
"Fate'. Girdner was man Of the
strictest integrity, always true to the
interests he represented, kind and char
liable toward all in need. At the time
of his death he was president of the
State Bank of Marble and was we'll

several sisters and brothers, some liv-
ing in Missouri and some in California.
Arrangements have been made to hold
the funeral at Carbondale tomorrow

HIT U-BoAT BY MISTAKE

Washington, Oct. S.-Vice Admiral
Sims eabled the navy department to-
day that an American patrol vessel,
on duty at night in the war zone, had
fired to answer recognition signals,
killing one officer and one enlisted man.
= decretary Daniels at once sent
message to the Italian ministry of mar
inc expressing the deepest regret over
the unfortunate occurrence and tender
ing his and the American navy's sym
pathy for the loss of life.
Tonight the navy department issued
this statement:
"The navy department has been in
formed by Vice Admiral Sims that re-
Gently an American patrol vessel while
on patrol duty at night encountered an
Italian submarine and that when the
latter failed to answer the established
recognition signals the patrol vessel
opened fire, which resulted in the kill
ing of one officer and one elisted man
before the identity of the submarine
was established.
"Vice Admiral Sims 10 thoroughly

"The secretary of the navy upon re-

following message to the Italian min.
lister of marine:
"'I have learned with deepest re-
gret of the unfortunate occurrence
which resulted in an American patrol
vessel firing through misunderstood,
ing upon an Italian submarine.
"'Due to the recent unusual activ.
tity of enemy submarines in this region,
which have resulted in the loss Of sew.
eral vessels, the patrol had been strict
ly maintained and the unfortunate fact
that the patrol vessel did not obtain
the recognition signals resulted in her
opening fire. Please accept on behalf

Barn on c. G. Green Ranch
Totally Destroyed Together
With Hay and Grain
BLAME on SMOKERS

About one o'eloek Thursday tsls-
phone communication resshed Glen
wood to the effect that the barn on tho
G. g. Green ranch 81 Fssymile creek
was in flames. Az nany q possible
Of the Glenwood fiTeRe1 were sum-
moned quickly and they gathered to-
gether all the chemical fire fighting de-
vices of the department. as well AZ
those of the forestry department and
hastened to the ranch in automobiles.
Others joined them and every effort
possible was made to cheek the flames,
but without success. The fire had
gained too much Roadway and all, de-
voted themselves to saving property
other than the barn.
The live stock was all gotten out
and saved with the exception of one
calf that persisted in the flames Grain
was carried out in the field safe dis
tance away, but it was net possible to
save all of this About $50 tons Of
hay was completely devsured by tho
flames and it was with great difficulty
that the house, the implements and
nearby sheds were saved. al, =,
Mr.. Green was almost eaught in the
flames in the effort to save his proper
ty. The neighbors All .yushed to tho
place and worked Asrd 70 save the pro-
perty and Mr. AID NrA. Green have
asked the Post - esaIg tAsir tha.ks
to these good pespls asA Ais TO thess
from Glenwood who ssme out and reh-
dered every assistance Possible.
The loss at J0w estimate was at
least "a 900 and this 10 by no means
n small sum for any raDshnan to losa.
However Mr.. Green is not wholly dis
couraged, but has already set about it
to plan and build another barn to re-
place the present pile of aches. As to
the cause of the FIRE there appears to
be only one theory and that is that it
is chargeabls to some careless cigarette
smoker
