Farmers should Guard Grain Stack

Warning has been sent out to all
farmers that they should closely
guard their grain stacks. II has been
found that there Ia an organized
movement In some sections TO destroy
grain before II can be threshed, and
~ II is not known how widespread
this conspiracy may be II behooves
every farmer to be on his guard.
II In not likely that any one living
In Otero county would engage In
such dastardly work. but the dan
ger IN that some outsiders in the plot
might come here and cause great
damage. As a matter OF protection
10 themselves and TO the food supply
Of the county the farmers Of this
section should see TO II that their
grain stacks are carefully guarded
until the wheat Is threshcd.

Coal Consumers Strike Next


The kind OF strike next In order
Is a revolt on the part OF the con-
sumers OF coal. A recent statement
In an argument by President Wei
born showed that the cost OF coal
at pit mouth is $500 to s3.25.
Therefore the fact is plain that when
the Pueblo purchaser pays S6.25 to
$3.50 for a ton OF coal he has paid
half that sum to the railroads. the
operators and agents. There is no
getting around these figures. Yet the
operators had II planned to almost
double the prices. and they may do
II yet.-Pueblo Indicator.

Is Hot There

Mrs. Isaac Watson has received the
following letter from her nephew, Cor
poral George E. Tinkham, who went
from Baraboo with Co. /, 9Th Reg, Wis.
N. c., now at Waco, Texas:
My Dear Aunt Edyth:
Most all of the fellows are going up
town, but / am going to stay home,
here, and answer your nice letter
Some conditions here in Dixie are
not very popular with the boys. The
soil, to a depth of about IS inches, has
the appearance of being something
like that of auntie's forty, over west
of the Cahoon mine, beneath which
comes a layer of a sort of lime rock.
Well, that Is inches of black soil is
enough now while it is dry, and espe-
cially where it gets ground up. by many
Sammies' shoes, for it flies all over and
through our equipment, but, when 1t
gets wet around our washstand, it
makes the stickiest mud imaginable,
for it is gumb0.
1t is so hot here am sure that the
devils kingdom cannot be far away
Even the drinking water is warm and
has an awful rotten taste, and as one
fellow raised the cup to his lips,
overheard low, but rather vehement
remark which sounded something like
this: "To hi with Texas; I'm going
back to the United States!" Just what
really is meant by the outburst is be-
yOnd me-Ynaybe YOU can CESS the co.
nundrum. Rockies are mostly like
that-rathery outspoken at times, but
you know, at heart we are all right.
We have a company bathhouse all
tage, for with all this dust we sure
need it, We can take bath three
times a day and still be dirty.
We also have better eating condi
tons. We have mess hall with two
tables about fifty feet long. We use
ends of the tables nearest the kitchen
to eat upon, and the rest of them for
reading, etc.
I want to thank Uncle Isaac for
sending me the Baraboo News. 1t is
the best way of keeping me in touch
with all the home news, and thereby
you won't have to write so much to me,
see? fsasx
Sandy just came in, and wants me
