PINTO BEAN MARKET IS ON THE DECLINE

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, May 1-(by Associated Press). ).-Competf- tion of Japahese bean in the Ameri- can market, removal of the govern ment price, limitation and surplus of, the product on the market from last years crop have contributed to discourage the growing of the Colo rado pinto bean in Ell Paso county. W. H. Lauck, county farm agent, recently announced that decided reduction in acreage would result this year for those reasons. It is considered doubt full if the pinto acreage will exceed 50 per cent of the 1918 acreage.

"My Old Watch Is Right, for
1t Never DeceiveS Me"

the fine old gentleman said of the little
faithful servant he had carried in his pocket
a long time.
1t is habit to look up at the face of the
town clock as you pass along, or now and
then to ask, "What time is it," of a friend
beside you who happens to be looking at his
watch, but invariably you go back to the
watch in your vest or on your fob which you
learned to trust for it's corrections.
The dear little thing with an open face
and two little hands seems almost part of
our lives
A thoroughly tried friend whose judg-
ment and friendship have been well tested
or a properly organized bank, store or school
is worth holding on to.
