This will be the last pay day before the cash system goes into effect at the Phelps Dodge stores for employees of the company. And other mercantile fixms in the district are also announcing the, cash plan. There fore common sense and foresight dictate that all should make ready for this cash plan ere its coming All the allied world rich and poor, high and low, are practicing econ omy just now That is, all patriots are do- ing so. The cash system in the district will help all of us to do this It demands that we buy only what we need and have the money to pay for. If it comes hard on the first day, remember that it will be easier on the thirtieth day, when neither the mail nor the knock on the door bring us bills; larger bills it may well be, than our cash outlay for that period

stsbili.;ns Hog Prices

The five leading pork packers of
America and forty secondary packing
firms have agreed to support the
principal recommendations made by
the Swine Producers committee and
already accepted by the U. S Food
Administration in regard to the min
imum price of hogs and the basis for
fixing that price.
Owners OF the half million hogs
estimated in Colorado are assured
of minimum of $3.50 per hundred
weight for average packers droves
at Chicago.
The packers have agreed to $1S as
the minimum average price for Oc-
tober, looping fifty cents off the
price per cwt. of $3.50 suggested by
the Producers committee.
They ask that before November
prices be determined further meet
ing be held by tho Packers COM
mittee together with the Producers'
COMMITTEES, tho Food Administration
and the Army and Navy representa-
tives.
They opposed the producers plan
Of stabilizing the price Of live hogs
per cwt. at Chicago on . basis Of Is
times the average price per bushel
of corn fsd into the hogs.
The packers promised however to
try to avoid fluctuations in tho mar
ket any one wsek to exceed fifty
cents per cwt., thNs somewhat stabil-
izing the price.

"Fssd tie Dsisy Cattle First sod
Ssve the Rsrds"

All farmers Throughout the United
States are now required by the Food
Administration to pledge themselves
not to use wheat mill feeds for any
other purpose than the feeding of
dairy cattle, poultry, and young pigs
and calves, and to further agree not
to have on hand at any time more
than a 6O-day supply Of wheat feeds.
This measure is made necessary be-
cause of the extension of the drough
area. short corn crop, increased ami
NAL population, and heavy European
wheat shipments.
"Feed the dairy cattle first and
save the herds" is the slogan of the
campaign here and in France. where
the dairy herds are dying off for lack
of feed and where the consequent
milk shortage threatens the lives of
children.
To assure fair distribution of the
wheat mill feeds on hand, millers
and jobbers are required to dis
tribute their supply in such manner
that each state receives the same
proportion from each source as dur
ing the same quarter of 1917.

Tho Gunnison Empire.
On Saturday afternoon Of last week
a quarrel took place on the Fitzpat-
suited in the death Of ono Of the
parties involved.
1t seems that James Fitzpatrick
was getting some sheep ready to
ship when James Mayhan appeared
on the scene in rather q quarrel
some mood. He had secured q gun
that belonged to Will Fitzpatrick,
and went down on horseback to the
corral and began to abuse Fitzpat-
rick in a shameful manner. After
following him around using most
insulting language. he pulled the gun
on Fitzpatrick and as he did so the
weapon fell from his hand and Fitz-
patrick picked 1t up. Then it seems
Mayhan became more enraged than
ever and said he would kill him with
then when he came at him with an
other rock Fitzpatrick shot and the
shot proved fatal.
MayhAn had the reputation of be-
ing a Quarrelsome fellow at times
while friends of Fitzpatrick know
him as very peacable man. Mr..
Fitzpatrick came to Gunnison Sunday
with his brother, wife, and other
witnesses. and gave himself up to
the authorities. On Monday the cor
oner's jury brought in a verdict of
self defense and Mr.. Fitzpatrick
went on to Denver with his sheep.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick had his sheep above
Pitkin this summer and made many
friends in this community who re-
gret to hear of this trouble, but un-
der the circumstances it could not
have been otherWisa.
