MANY GROWERS
INTERESTED in
THE COLO. PACK
'19 PROPOSITION
Company is Offering Prices on
a Par With Those Being
Given in Other Sections.

A great deal of interest is being
shown by the apple growers in the
marketing proposition being offered
them by the Colorado Packing Cor
portion. The representatives of the
corporation have been in the field al
day and are making good progress for
the first day. The local office has
been besieged all day by telephone
calls from various growers, some of
whom have signified their intention of
entering into contract for this year.
The c. P. c. is offering a price for
tree-run consistent with that offered
in the northwest territory ana in New
Mexico when freight charges, broker
age charges. etc, are considered.
One of the officers of the colorado
Packing. in speaking of the. price stu
alton over the country. said today:
although there was an indication
early in the summer that the prices in
the Northwest and in New Mexico
would be remarkably high and accord
ingly elsewhere, the tremendous crops
which have materialized has sent he
price dropping considerably, and it is
said that the growers in those terri
tories are signing contracts around
the S2-mark. 1t was reported from
the Northwest that there was ten
dency on the part of the grower to
hold out for a very high price. but re-
ports now seem to indicate that the
big crop prospects have chsnged the
situation, and many contracts are be-
ing signed at prevailing prices.
IN Utah the price for three-run
Jonathans is around 50 contract, and
that price seems to se a basis except
in certain small ocalities where condi-
tions are different than in the general
area. Two dollars 100 for tree-run
is a remarkably good price, and on a
basis where all the rancher has to do
is to pick the apples and haul them
in. he stands to make an excellent
profit. consistent with his investment.
Reports from Utah and New Mexico
where the price around 50 prevails in
dictate that ranchers are signing con-
tracts on tree-run plan most readily
and that those who at first signifed
their intention of holding for higher
price have decided that the prevailing
price will be the basis, SO that there
are but few in those sections who
might be called ho,douts."

Band Concert at
the County Farm

The concert given by the Canon Crv
band at the county farm last SUNDAY
afternoon for the benefit Of the In
mates of the hospital and others con-
nected with the institution. was a
very enjoyable affair in all respects.
Not for a. long time had such a treat,
been given the sdepenaents of the
county farm. and they appreciated it
immensely. In some instances inva-
lids who had not been able to leave
their beds for months were placed in
easy chairs and wheeled to the win
dow where they could see the bands
men, as well as delight in their music.
The band played on the hospital
grounds for nearly two hours. and
gave a program Of popular. delightful
music. A number OF Canon City peo-
pie motored out to the farm to enjoy
the affair. Sunday afternoons con-
cert at the county farm will not soon
be forgotten.

Since leaving that special train at
Lethbridge, Alberta, the other day I
have seen some ordinary travel serv-
ice-very ordinary.
Leaving Lethbridge at $50 we came
straight south, reaching the boundary
line about noon. Coots is the Cana
dian town and Sweet Grass. hundred
yards away, is on the United States
side. All this section has been dry
for two or three years. We were told
that here they had seven incaes of
rainfall last year.
All the next day we were IN Mon
tana, coming to Great Falls in the
evening. We had to stay all night at
Great Falls. It is fine little city
new in appearance and up-to-date. 1t

city. But all the country we passed
after we got well out of sigh. OF Leth-
bridge is about as Godforssaen in ap-
pearance as any lands l have ever
seen For hundreds of miles hardly
green thing can be seen. There are
many signs of farming in thu past,
but no evidence of recent crops. Much
of the country seems to have been de.
serted. For three years there has been
very little or no rain thru here and
the settlers have been starved out.
Billings is in little valley with irrl.
cation, SO there is some good looking
country around here.
| During the night we passed shru a
corner of South Dakota and came out
/ into Nebraska, stopping at Alliance
for lunch. 1t was the first meal we had
s-nce lunch the day before. There
was no diner on the train and all we
could get for supper the night before
was sandwich and a pear.

you? Out in Manhattan, Kansas, this

1t seems as though the value of these

been so genuinely proved that we
ought to keep them up long after
the things of war are all settled.
I do not think many people realize
the great need there is for such places.
Mention, for instance the word court.
ing parlor and see what kind of re-
sponse you get. People frequently
laugh at the very idea.
Yet here are the particulars: There
are hundreds who cannot bring boys
into their homes. Sometimes there are
four children sleeping in what ought
to be the parlor and sometimes, pro-
vided there Is O parlor, 1t is crowded
with the wrangles of parents and the
walls of sleepy babies not. yet put to
bed. What are these girls to do? 1t
has become the custom with them to
meet the boys on the street corners.
Think what the big cosy municipal

would mean to them.
Boys and girls are wonderfully good
at heart. The way the soldiers and sail
