Nigh Prices.

Q. G. Willis formerly of this coun.
ty but now residing ntGravette, Ark,
writes as follows: 81 just returned
from two weeks visit around Web
ster City, Ia. Land has risen about
$4,000 per acre since last spring.
A farm near Webster City sold for
$4,000 per acre. A 90 acre tract
brought $4,000 per acre. hear of
land renting for $4,000 per acre but
Sl2 to $lb is about as Il runs. In
the past few months some men have
grown rich by specializing in land.
1t don't seem right 10 ~ " allow IL
It is as bad as the board Of trade
and will mean that iowa will lose ma
ny Of her renters. ! do not think Iowa
land is worth the price. Values will
foil and many who think themselves
well fixed will go broke MS many are
heavily in debt. Where will the rent
ers go. Most anywhere will be no
worse"
The renters that Mr.. Willis men,
tions will come to Colorado and get
cheap land and the farmers that are
badly in debt should unload at the
present high prices and buy cheap
land that they have the money to pay
for.

Borers XIII Shade Trees.

The borers are playing havoc with
good many shade trees in Holyoke.
The black locust trees are suffering
most but even the elm are not wholly
escaping. There are good many
black locust shade trees in the town
and they are among the largest trees
we have, many of them having been
set us early as 1892 and to lose these
will be great loss to our town.
There seems to be no way to stop
these peste from destroying trees or
at least if there is any way, it is not
generally known.

Nigh Price For Coffee.

ihe price of coffee has gone soaring
within the last six months and the
american importers are trying to ex
PLAIN that the American merchants
a. are not to blame for the high prices.
They are claiming that by reason of
n heavy frost the Brazilian coffee
crop of 1918 was cut short about one
half from a normal crop and that
this is largely the cause of the pres
ent high price for coffee. Owing to
the damage done to the coffc tres
by the heavy frost coffee merchants
offer very little hope for cheaper cof
fee for some time TO coma.

cause there was no church and their

In Need of a Victrola

The music Appreciation class is
progressing very nicely. However
there is a little inconvenience in
getting suitable records. The school
board refused to get either machine
or records for this class. But the
pupils by gathering what records
they can are doing good work. Some
money from the grade school oper-
eta is to be used to get records
which will be suitable for use in the
grades as well as high school.
Liberal has the only high school
in this part of the state without a
Victrola equipment. Considering the
good support of the athletics, special
trains, and lyceum course surely we
could have this necessity. A Victrola
is looked upon by some as a luxury,
which of course it is to a certain ex-
tent. But in the music appreciation
course it is an absolute necessity.
The class meets every day just like
any other class. The course consists
of the study of composers, their lives
and works, and of the orchestra and
opera. The Victrola is the only med
um thru which we can obtain this in
a practical form. The Victrola now
Used was loaned by Mr.. and Mrs.
Leete.
We want a Victrola.
