be 81 per cent OIL The cost of the

it went to the pck holders as

$50 a ton for the brush. This
on the presumption that each
stockholder marketed the same
amount of brush, which is near
enough for understandable
purposes.
We have considered only what
should be paid for brush of stock
holders. For other brush of
course would be paid simply the
market price. II will be seen at
loncethas the objece of the dif-
ference is to induce the brush
growers of the county to buy
stock and thus to get onto the
ground floor of the profits in the
business-or in other words, to
get actually broom values for
their brush.

graded as to quality.

should be paid by each member
of this organization. If there
were fifty to take hold as charter

ganizing fund of $500, and really
$500 is not too much for organ
izing requirements.
Remember the date and come
to pay the $40 on the

Next week will be considered
the cost of building, the cost of
equipment, the management of

First White Man Met
BY ths writer.

It was after we had licked the
platter on the morrow after the
first night this way over the Kan
sas- Colorado line that a man on
horseback rode up to our camp
and asked II We had seen any
thing OF q bunch of horses.
We answered that we hadn't
but that q bunch of wild horses
about an our before had eallop
ed out OF sight towards the
west.
That's Them" he said
they're my horses. I've been
following them for two days.
I camped just over the hill there
last night.
The man had q couple of blank
cts, . rain coat, and probably
had some chuck in his pockets
or wrapped in with his bundles.
but there WAS nothing in sight.
40 out of the compassion Of our
civilized hearts we said
We've mad our breakfasts,
but we have some f1.pjacks
left and so ne coffee and smear
stuffs. and if you like you can
help yourself and welcome"
The man ate heartily anu talk
ed freely. more about his hors-
en-" than anything else. After
getting away with the remnants
of our breakfast he mounted and
rode westward after the wild
brutes he called his horses.
The fellow was Henry Savoy.
whose history was woven In the
after events Of the east-end set
'l.ment, and whose career end
ed in q tragedy at old Boston.
We shall have occasion to refer
to him hereafter.
Thirty Miles from Water
1t was noon of the same day.
Like the foolish virgins who fail
ed to take oil along for their
lamps, we at the end of the Sec
ond day noon found ourselves
without any water for either our
selves or on hurses-on the
then nameless North Fork of the
Great American Desert.
A ride down the creek for a
lew miles found nothing, while
a short distance up the creek
found a hole with water re.
manning In the old COW tracks.
We strained that through a
sand sive, made coffee of it, and
called it good. The horses also
drank of the stuff that we dip
ped up for them and put in a
bucket.
Two miles north of the creek
was locateh the future Kopkel
ranch, on which we camped that
night, n I'd then dove back 10
Richfield. Kans., thirty miles
away. to get water for ourselves
and horses.
Incidentally, what the writer
was after was to get near the
center of what might be a future
Co.-cut off from Las Animas
Co.. which he cour'y "a, tn n.
The location we found WAS fif-
teen miles from the east line and
from the south line,
which would be the center of an
an ordinary eastern county.

The Turning
Of The Lane

For forty years Germany planned
with consummate cunning for the day
when she might confidently open the
floodgates of her well-nursed wrath
upon Europe and beat her to earth,
helpless and suppliant
She fed the insatiate appetite of
Russia with fair promises and pro-
tests of friendship. A weakling czar
accepted them and believed
She lulled England into sense of
security by insistent assurance of good
will, talk of ultimate disarmament,
and non-aggressive policy.
And volatile France she won at
least to a. state of non-apprehension
through the persevering use of flat
terry and diplomatic persiflage.
Until at last the long lane to vic
tory spread seemingly open before
her
Throughout all that time she had
been strengthening her means of at
tack Her navy was stronger than
ever in its history. Her army was
the best drilled, the best equipped in
the world Her munitions plants
were speeded up to the last notch.
And when she struck it was with
all the accumulated force of two score
years of careful preparation With all
the cunning of as many years of stra-
tegic planning With all the ruthless
ness of the robber nation that she is.
In utter disregard of the sacredness
of treaty and international law For
she was out to win quickly
But for the unsuspected valor of the
despised Belgian army Germany would
have carried her plan through on
schedule time. 1t brought doom to
Belgium. 1t will bring defeat ulti-
mately to Germany.
For today Germany stands flat
footed at the turning of the lane.
Her forces are being driven slowly
steadily, inevitably back upon the
Rhine. Her losses have been appall-
ing. Her internal conditions are little
less horrible Her morale is shattered
the spirit of her people broken. She
is staggering under the hail of the al
lied blows Soon she will be digging
in on her own soil.
And to American interference, large
ly, is this condition traceable. To con
tinued American aggressiveness will
her ultimate doom be due. To Amer
lea, founder of freedom, of liberty, OF
democracy, must Kaiserism and des.
potism ultimately bow. For to Amer
lea this minute the world is looking
for deliverance.
Nor will America disappoint in this
world duty.
Not while Liberty Bonds may be
bought.
