For Pleasure, Health, Economy - Ride Bicyce!

THIS IS bicycle week = throughout America. The bicycle is coming back stronger than ever before, as an economical means of travel, and this week has been set aside as the time to celebrate the new era of the bicycle.
 One of the purposes of bi- cycle week will be to show the pleasures to be derived from bicycle riding, as well as its economy both as to original cost and maintenance.
 Since the bicycle came back there has been an enormous increase in the number of woman owners and riders. People are now riding to work on bicycles who formerly walked or used street cars or other means of transportation.

SELF DEFENSE IS ALLEGED ]. EI:
 BY ). REED
Claims That His Life Was Threatened By Mexi- can; That He De-
 tended Himself

That he shot Alvarez in self de- fense is the plea of John Reed now on trial for his life in the District Court Reed was on the stand the greater part of the morning and part of the afternoon.
 According to the story told by Reed Alvarez had attacked him early the morning of the shooting and had threatened his life. In the evening Reed says he came up town to see Dr. Malone as he was leaving for Gambler Bay the next day. He al leges that he went into pool room and that Alvarez stood alongside of him during the entire time he was in there and that after leaving the pool room Alvarez took him by the throat and pulled him down the street.
 He says that Alvarez grabbed him by the throat, but that he broke away and that Alvarez was reaching for his throat again and held a knife in his hand when he was shot. The prosecution is cross questioning Reed in an effort to bring out the weak points in his story of the killing.

OF this the custom Of farmers purchas-
ing cured meats Is increasing. II may
not be practicable for every farmer to
butcher and cure his own meat. but In
nearly every community few farmers
could do this and make good profits.
Farmers who sell country-cured meats
have experienced very little difficulty
In establishing a permanent trade. To
accomplish this one must understand
the kind Of cured meat his trade de-
mands, and also how II is made. Coun-
try-cured meat often carries too much
fat and undesirable odors, and IL is
generally too salty. A well-marbled
juicy. savory piece Of meat showing
the proper admixture Of fat and lean
and possessing good flavor is the
kind the consumer desires.

cause they violated the food regula-

WARS TERRIBLE WASTE


The Society OF Swiss banks has
issued estimates showing that the
war will have cost by New Year day,
1919, approximately 217 billion dol
lars. Accurate reports were not OBJ
tainable from Belgium, Serbia, Rou-
mania, Montenegro, Bulgaria or
Turkey, but most of these war ex-
penditures were underwritten by
their allies. The total cost of the
first four years of war totalled $50
billion dollars.
The figures show the cost of the
war TO be advancing by leaps and
bounds. The 1,461 days of the first
four years of war, ending July 81,
1918, cost all belligerents an aver
age Of s123, 100000 a day. During
1918 the daily average has been
s244,OOO,OOO. That means the war
is costing more than s10,000,0O0 an
hour-and going up every minute.
Counting the expenses of mobiliz-
ing and all war operations, but not
including redemption of the debt nor
the cost of restoring damaged pro-
perty, the Swiss bank expert esti-
mates the direct cost OF hostilities

100000 from Great Britain, and tn
United States up to the end of July
1918, had opened to the allies a to
tai of s6.979,OOO,OOO of credit.
Four-fifths of the war have bee
financed by treasury operations an
loans. Such loans aggregate s135

what the war has cost all bellige>
ent nations.
The debts OF the warning natior
before the war totalled s29,jG0

multiplied by eight. Besides the'
colossal costs, there have been a
palling military distinctions in II
invaded areas. for which it will r
uuire enormous efforts Of human e
ergy to recuperate and some
which are irreparable. The tot
area Of the war zone is 174,O'

Nee-No-She Progress.

Work of erecting the 81 foot der
rick and other buildings Of the Nee
No She Oil company on the Nee-No-
She dome, Ia miles north of Lamar,
will begin within the next ten days or
two weeks.
Financial support from the valley
and at Eads and vicinity is rallying to
the company and the officers feel that
the work Of developing this splendid
oil field can be pushed as rapidly as
possible.
President C. W. Sweitzer, of Eads,
is in Denver this week arranging for
the $4,000 feet of lumber necessary
to build the derrick and other strue-
lures. Secretary II. w. Cornell is in
Lamar comforting with f. j. Wagner,
vice president of the company and X.
]. McGrath. treasurer.
The first meeting of the board OF
directors of the company will be held
mt Eads. Saturday, when the temper
airy officers will be duly elected as
permanent officers and active prepar-
atoms begun for the hurrying of the
work in every department.
The field operations Of the Nee-No-
She company will be under the diree-
ton of the executive committee Of
the board of directors, consisting Of
C. w. Sweitzer. F. ]. Wagner and II.
W. Cornell. As these three men all
have the reputation of being great
pushers in the business world. as their
own personal success prove, it seems
safe to predict rapid and safe progress
for the Nee-No-She company
