COURTS CONVENE:
MORE SHEEP.

The Chronicle has repeatedly men,
toned the need of more sheep in the
hands of our farmers and the resultant
good profits accruing therefrom.
1t is a notable fact that IN most
cases the best farmers of this county
have at least few sheep. This is the
way they figure it and the way 1t u.s.
ually works out: A good eve is worth
$40 to Sl2, it costs on an average not
over a dollar a head to winter, and
some claim less than rs cents head
The wool will bring not less than two
dollars, and most likely more. A lamb
will sell tor Sc to So III the fall. That
means that an investment of not ex-
ceedlng S13 the farmer gets profit of
So or more year. That is over 30 per
cent. What can farmer grow that
will equal 1t? Certainly cattle will not
show that large profit any year.
Some years hogs may show as large or
larger profit but will hardly average
larger net returns.
On the little island of England,
where there is no free range and land
is worth hundreds of dollars all acre,
there are more than 100000 sheep
ralsers. If 1t can be made profitable
under such conditions, it certainly Is
small gold mine here, where cond tlons
are so much more favorable.
But we hear some one say: dogs"
On that point there IS only one solution
and tina. solution rests with the farm
er himself.
Form a sheep association and pay
every farmer for the sheep killed by
dogs and the worthless cur that kills
more sheep in an hour, sometimes.
than hundred OF him is worth. Will
soon cease to trouble; for the farmer
who Is called upon occasionally to put
up few dollars to pay for sheep killed
by dogs will very soon take the dog
law into MS own hands, and, without
saying anything, he will quietly send
the worthless cur to ''dog heaven and
in short time sheep-killing dogs will
be an element of little interest in rails
ing sheep.
1t is useless to appeal to the legls-
lature for real protective law. for
any legls Iator who would frame real
ly effective dog law for the protection
OF sheep would seal his political doom
and he knows 1t and always takes care
to either put such joker into the law
as makes it worthless, or puts the bur-
den of enforcement on the farmer and
that makes it dead letter for the |
farmer Will not take the trouble to see
that the Law is enforced.
The only sound solution is through
sheep ASSOCIATION and the question will
then solve itself. Until the farmer !
makes up his mind to act along those
lines the sheep industry Will remain
practically as it has been tor years and
there will not be one sheep where
there could profitably be ten.

BE LOYAL TO COUNTRY
URGES MEYER LONDON

In face of the Socialist party's dec
aration against the war, in which that
organization "goes the limit" in refus-
ing support to the government, Con-
gressman Meyer London, only Social
list in congress, has issued statement
calling upon Socialists to support the
government and be loyal to the United
States.
"If / am expected to appeal for fair
play for the Socialists in congress-" he
said, 81 want to appeal to the Social
lists for common sense in their attitude
in this great crisis of the world.
"You talk about the capitalistic
classes as being responsible" he said.
"Why, that is nonsense. Do away with
the stupidity of the masses and there
will be no more war.
81 am not interested in why Morgan
is for war. i know. 1t is the same
reason as the Krupps are for war. But
after the United States declares for
war there can be no choice.
81 owe duty to every man who has
been called to the service of his
country, and that is not only that
nothing shall be left undone to provide
him with everything he needs, but to
get this fight over as soon as possible" !"

Cigarnakers
(By j. w. Sanford.)

Cigarmakers Union No. 129 will
hereafter meet the second and fourth
Tuesday nights, instead of the first
and third. Same place, Painters hall,
$50 Eighteenth street.
Internal revenue report for August
shows an increase of 361 ,463 cigars
manufactured in Colorado over the
same month last year, the total pro-
duction for August, this year, being
1 1898, ,663 cigars. The most of these
cigars are made by union men and
women and bear the label of the Cigar
Makers International Union.
Our financial statement for the
month of October shows that we had
on hand the first of the month ST.
286.30. The receipts from dues and
assessments amounted to $795.O5,
making a total of $2,081.35. Our ex-
pendit1res amounted to $842 .85, leav-
ing US a baIance at the end of the
month of S1,256.50.
Membership statement shows a fall
ing off of five members due to the
fact that other parts of the country
are holding out the inducements of
better jobs which our members could
not resist.
Communication from our old friend,
w. S. Walton, who was one of The
Bulletin party last year that went to
New York to see the world series base
ball game, informs US that he is can
didate for vice-president of the State
Federation of Labor w. S. was the
only one of our party that did not feel
dizzy at the top of the Wolworth
tower. He wanted to slide down the
elevator rope just to keep his hand in.

for the absence of the union label on
these cigars.
Nick Andres procrastinated on get
ting self-starter for his automobile.
AS a result he is carrying broken
arm around as a reminder that at is
better to be safe than sorry"
Some of our members recently, for
the sake of breaking the monotony of
he cigar shop, took some of the "easy'
jobs that are going begging around the
beet factories, but two days was as
long as any of them stuck it out. Some
of them came back the same day that
they went away and took week off to
rest up.
Don't overlook that most important
part of your purchases, the union
label. 1t is the trademark of fair
products.

Bakers

The Ward Baking company, which
recently signed agreements with the
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
International union, has forwarded
this notice to the bakery workers Of
ficials:
81 am sure you will be pleased to be
informed that we have made a volun-
tary increase in the wages of our man
ufacturing employees at the following
plants: Pittsburg No. l and 2, Cleve-
land No. 1 and 2, Boston, Providence,
Bronx, Brooklyn, and at Newark,
Newark being placed on the same
basis as Bronx and Brooklyn. This
advance will average slightly better
than 10 per cent.
Believing this will be appreciated
by the men, as well as by yourself and
associates, the international officers,
we assure you of our continued good
will"
Ray Lowderback, secretary and busi-
ness agent of the Bakery Workers
union, declares that the Union Coop
erative bakery is the most patriotic
bakeshop in Denver, and submits facts
to prove this assertion. Wednesday
was the first wheatless day under the
food conservation order. On this day
the Union Cooperative Bakery did not
deliver an ounce of wheat flour prod
ucts to patrons. Even rolls and dough-
nuts We're made from the flour of other
cereals. This union bakery will con-
tinue this program for every wheat
less day ordered by the food admins

A German division which was
