What some Growers Did

Last week the Swink Advocate Is
sued fourteen page paper to cell
ebrate the record made by some OF
the best growers VINO sold their crop
TO the Holly Sugar Company. The
paper was very extensively patron
lied by merchants Of La Junta, Rocky
Ford and Swink, and was a very cred
table issue. AS many OF the grow
ers are residents of this vicinity, the
record made by some OF them who
delivered beets to the Holly Sugar
Company last year, showing the
name, address. total acres. and the
amount received per acre, will be Of
interest.

Fifteen Pounds Limit for Bcet Seed

Owing to the fact that beet seed
Is becoming very scarce. caused by
the prolonged trouble in Europe. and
the growers In this country are un-
able to raise beets for seed. owing
to the cost OF production and the
unstable conditions under which
growers would labor. the Holly Sugar
Company has limited the amount for
planting to fifteen pounds to the acre
instead OF twenty as in years hereto
fore. Germany has furnished seed at
much lower figure than the grow
ers in this country could afford to
accept. but since the war. seed has
advanced to over t00 per cent of its
former cost. The beet company will
lose about 25 cents per pound on
every pound furnished the grower at
the same price OF 10 cents which
will be maintained this year. There Is
seed enough for this years planting,
but all growers are asked to prepare
the field bed to the best of his abil-
ity that no replan,ing need be done.
Fifteen pounds of seed is ample to
insure the grower good stand II
the ground is properly prepared

terfeit 800 treasury notes on the
city banks"
The old man, his hands grasping
the arms of the chair, tried 70 hold
himself together. He directed one
look at Marvel-reproackiul, pleading,
lost look. His were the eyes of a
man who saw a stranger enter his
presence and bring stately fabric
into the midst of sudden devastation
and ruin.
'Where-where Is my nephew" his
lips framed, rather than uttered.
How came he to find the notes."
It was an admission, and noted
Marvers lips settle grimly-a point
scored, start made.
If you had the notes in this house."
he ventured audaciously, what of the
plates from which they were print
ed?"
'You know all! Then it is-ruin!"
broke in a despairing cry from the
old mans lips.
"Quick, call someonel" directed
Marvel, as Buckingham fell to one
side. A spasm convulsed his frame
and he lay rigid and speechless. My
friend had lifted him to an easier posi-
ton, while fastened to the hall and
advised the servant there of his mas
ter's condition.
We waited until after a physician
had been called. He shook his head
seriously while they placed the mil
lionaire on a couch. Then he went
| to work on him. His attitude be-
came more reassuring as the patient
recovered consciousness and looked
about him in a bewildered way. Then
as his eye fell on Marvel the old
fright or fear, terror or apprehension,
or whatever it was, came back into
his face.
Take" he urged, "a blank signed
check. Fill in for any amount, only
save-save my family from shame"
"And the plates?" gently but firm
ly persisted Marvel, waving back the
proffered check.
"Come-come-" the tortured
tones grew more feeble, when IL
send for you"
We saw that he was going into an.
other sinking spell. Marvel hastily
summoned the physician, and we
| passed down the hall and out of the
house. Silently my friend led the
way to the machine awaiting US at
the corner of the next street, reached
his office, dismissed the chauffeur and
nodded a casual adieu to myself.

led the way to an auto, and we pro-
ceeded back to the Central National
The city center streets were com
paratiyely deserted, as the business
crowds had gone homewards some
time since. Marvel carried the dog
to the barred front of the bank, set
the little animal on the pavement and
returned to the machine
Just follow that dog" he ordered
to the chauffeur. and fixed his eye
closely upon the object of his interest.
The fox terrier crowded through
the barred gate protecting the en-
trance to the bank, ran up to the
great bronze doors and lifted its head
and howled. Then it shifted around
in circle. came out to the pavement,
threw its nose up in the air in several
directions and trotted down the street
on bee line.
There could be no doubt that the
clever animal knew the way home,
for 1t proved never at fault, never
hesitated, and buckled down sturdily
as If knowing 1t had a long jaunt
ahead. This proved true. 1t made only
square turns at corners, and gradually
left the business center for the better

Keep Close" directed Marvel to
the chauffeur as the animal reached a
broad boulevard and increased its
pace. Follow" he ordered addition

of the machine and ran up to the

most instantly stout woman, evil
IDENTIFY a servant, crossed my range of
vision. She caressed and talked to
the leaping animal and walked to the
fence, as if expecting that the ami
malls arrival prefaced that of its ex-
pected master. She came directly up
to Marvel, the fence between them.
He spoke to her and she answered
him, took a look down the al
ley, and, turning, went back towards
a pretentious appearing mansion
facing the avenue.
Drive to the next street and wait
for u.s." Marvel said to the chauffeur,
and beckoned me to join him.

completed the length of the lane, and

with the addendum that its owner
was the nephew of her master, and
she wondered why he did not come
home with the animal, as he usually
did"
1t was no task to locate the front
cover. 1t was an imposing stone
structure. We halted in front of it,
and my friend read aloud the name
engraven on the broad old-style sill
yer plate on one of the ornamental
| front doors:
ARNOLD Buckingham"
Then Resilius Marvel looked at me,
and my eyes meeting his expressive
glance, full of wonder, reflected some
what manifest surprise, if not a
positive shock in his own.
There was not better name at the
banks than that of Arnold Bucking-
ham. Resilius Marvel knew it from
hearsay, and l from practical knowl-
edge of financial responsibility rated
way up in the millions. There could
not help but be direct challenge in
my face. My companion simply
shrugged his shoulders.
Come" he said, his course of pro-
cedure boldly formulated in his mind
within the space of a minute, and he
led the way up the steps, rang the
front door bell and stepped inside the
vestibule.
l wondered what strange freak of
fate had led us to this lordly mansion,

active business with royal fortune,

friend, skilled and all powerful as he
was, would proceed in a case where
the sure criminal trail led straight
from the portals of common prison
to this abode of luxury and wealth.
A servant answered a question put
by Marvel, and usheredg him into a
majestic reception room, took his
card, and we both arose as a man

SUCCESSFUL BAZAAR
Was Conducted by st. Monica's Sodality
at K. of c. Hall.

The bazaar and concert conducted un.
der the auspices of the sodslity OF
ST. Monica church was held yesterday
afternoon and evening in the Knights OF
Columbus hall. The concert last evening
was marked by a large attendance, which
exceeded the expectations of the com
mittee in charge and taxed the hall to its
capacity, there being no standing room
available.
The hall was tastefully decorated in a
manner to give a charming effect to the
various booths, which were arranged
along the side of the hall. The various
booths, which were in charge of several
young ladies, were busy places through
out the evening, there being ready pur-
chasers, who seemed to welcome the OPP
portunity to purchase the various articles
on sale. The ice cream booth was in
charge of Miss Yanetti who was kept
busy throughout the evening in serving
that delicious dainty.
The food table was presided over by
Miss Mildred Mct,ue and was one of the
busiest spots in the hall. while the util
ity booth, in charge of the Misses Brown
and Nelson, and the fancy booth in
charge of Miss Sadlier and Miss White,
were also thronged with purchasers. AT
the close of the evening, the remaining
articles were disposed of at auction, Miss
