in some measure to the fact that only

rather rough house in the city in

some others somewhat bruised, and
this may have been the quiet after
the storm.

The road this way is now better
10 Chappells than it is by the long
bridge and the distance about the
same. Above Longshore there are
some very deep sand beds and the
wonder is that instead of piling more
of the sand in the road in the work
ing it is not put on the red clay roads
on either end of the sand beds. Some
of these beds have been very much
deepened by recent working evident
ly, because they are much heavier
than when I went the road some
time ago. The swamp at Little River
and at Mudlic is bad, and always
will be so long as the road is as low
as it is and the shade trees keep the
sun off the road. Otherwise the road
is very good.

The day was fixed in honor of the
birthday of Mrs. L. A. Carter and of
Sam Carter the son. Mrs. Carter
was celebrating her 69th birthday
and I did not ask how old Sam is.
Mr.. John C. Carter, the father and
the husband of Mrs. Carter; died just
10 years ago while he was living at
Newberry, and soon after he moved
here. At one time away back when
was boy at home Mr.. and Mrs.
Carter lived there and he was sawyer
for my father, and a better worker
never was. And / have known the
family all the years since those days.
They moved to Newberry as stated
some 20 years ago, and Mr.. Carter
died soon after, but Mrs. Carter and
the children have lived here since.

It looked like an old time salesday
in Newberry in the days when the
"boneyard" prevailed, and every one
fixed that day to go to "the court
house." or "the village" as they call
ed it. The streets were crowded but
the greater number of those on the
streets were of the colored race. 1t
seemed that all of them from the
surrounding territory must have
gathered there on that afternoon,
and yet some Of the men of the place
said that the crowd was very small
ON that particular afternoon.

THE CHAUTAUQUA
PLEASED CROWD

Notwithstanding the busy season
and other adverse conditions. the
Chautauqua last week furnished us
with some splendid entertainments
and came SO near to paying out that

balance left from last years fund
The Harmony maids OF the hrst
day were four accomplished youg la
dies who gave variety of entertain
ment, consisting of readings as well
as songs and instrumental elections,
Their contributions were all well
rendered and well received.
The lectures by Robert l.. Kemple
were well worth listening to. being
for the large part a recital OF ex-
periences in his Journeys among the
people of this country, with some
philosophy, some taffy. some slams.
a good many jokes. and an abundance
of facial contortion. The lecturer is
good entertainer.
The Gerhardts of the second day
made more than good all claims for
their ability to entertain. Mr.. Ger
hardt and his wife can give a whole
show and make it lively from start
to finish.

we're entirely unlike the lecture by
Mr. kemple, being more scholarly,
no attempt to make you laugh. but n
serious effort to stimulate thinking
on some of our present day prob
lens. His lecture on Bolshevism
was not n sympathy with the boil
shevic remedy, but dealt more with
the prevention OF its growth by do

tributing the burdens of government

Sunday was the great day with the

abeth Parry giving short program
in the afternoon and much longer
one in the evening. They had to ex-
haust their repertoir to satisfy the
clamoring attendance

TAXES
IN ALL FUNDS

That taxes are higher than form
erly, We all know, but not all know
where the increase comes; bu. our
county assessor has compiled some
figures showing where the increase
comes and just how much more the
people of Weld county pay into the
various funds this year than they
did last year.
State Funds
1917 tax, paid In 1918 -$262,11323
1918 tax. paid in 1919 -$267,164.37
Increase 1918 over 1917 -$5,051.14
County Fund
1917 tax paid in 1918 s4S5,5S1.57
1918 tax we paid In 1919 $504,429.47
Increase 1918 over 1917 -s1s.s47.90
Incorporation Taxes
1917 tax paid In 1918 $144,6S0. 81
1918 tax paid in 1919 161,07S.91
Increase 1918 over 1917 s16.39S.z4
School Taxes
1917 tax paid In 1918 $446,944.75
1918 tax paid 1919 $62S,131.36
Increas 1918 over 1917 s1S1,1S6.61
Mr.. Hanna has also computed that
of the tota increase each fund Is re-
sponsible for its portion OF the m
eraaoa FaIt,..s.
State tax about ----- % per cent
County, tax about - SIS per cent
Town taxes, about ---- IA per cent
Schools about --- SIS per cent
1t will be noted that school taxes
have increased all over the county in
as great a ratio as they have in the
Raymer district. in spite of the fact
that We have increased in school
population more rapidly than any
other portion Of the county.
1t would seem from the above re-
port that Raymer school funds have
been made to do about the most ef-
ficient work of any school funds in
the county
We believe that IL this district
had continued its old system we
would be paying as much or more
taxes and had no high school. and
probably have had to be content with
six or seven months school.

Customary figure as the boy scout
has become In the United States, Gen
eral Baden-Powell's visit added much
to American knowledge of the move
ment. A good many newspaper read.
ers were probably surprised to learn
that 1t owes Its beginning to the Boer
war and the Siege Of Mafeking. with
out which 1t may be questioned wheth-
er there would be any boy scouts. In
command at Mafeking, General Baden.
Powell looked far beyond the siege
and saw that great and useful organ
ization Of boys might be developed
from the corps Of boy messengers or
ganized to serve the forces holding
that hard-pressed town. That was the
beginning Of 1t, but the same force Of
character that defended Mafeking car
ried forward the boy scout idea until
1t was generally recognized as
project for character building rather
than encouraging militarism in the
young. Another bit of information
that probably surprised many Ameri.
cans was that Baden-Powell Is de-
scended on his mothers side from
Capt. John Smith.

BRUSH BALL TEAM
FAILED TO SHOW Up

The crowd that came to see the
ball game with Brush last Sunday
had to be content with game Of
locals against locals, as the Brush
team failed to show up.
The Brush boys are reported to
have game with Denver tea / on
that date.
The Brush manager telephoned up
the first of this week that they ex-
pected to come up here the coming
Sunday, but the local team had
game arranged with the fast Here
ford team to be played on the Gro
Yer grounds for the coming Sunday,
so the return game with the Brush
bunch is postponed, perhaps indef-
nitely: as some of the locals feel
that ii may be just as well not to
play Brush at all.
II will be remembered that 1t was
at Brush where one of the players
started a slngging game, and while
he was comparatively harmless, the
boys feel that such features are not
u desirable addition to our great
national game.
The local team is fast enough to
get plenty of games with good teams
that believe the same way.
Both base ball and boxing may be
good in their place, and each sport
has its advocates; but the two do not
mix well at one and the same time.
It's providing too much amusement
for the admission charged.

$4,000 LOSS IN HOT
FIRE AT LlTCHFIELD

It's most destructive fire in many
years visited Litchfield early Wednes.
day morning, July 81, when the J.
Esbjornsson lumber yard was con.
sumed by fire, the Office alone remain
ing, and it, too, Is badly damaged.
The blaze was discovered at three
o'clock and when first seen the en-.
tire south side of the yard was on
fire. The blaze seems to have had its
origin near the south wall enclosing
the yard and about hundred feet
from the southwest corner, the fire
was famed in both directions and it's
spread thru the piles Of dry lumber
was very rapid.
While the department arrived
promptly, it could do little more than
save the two homes. which were in
immediate danger from the heat of
the burning lumber, the one occu-
pied by the F. E. Wren family and the
other by the H. M. Wright family.
The heat was so intense that the
paint on the exposed sides of both
residences was blistered. Only the
Office was saved and that, too, was
badly damaged, both from fire in the
rear and because the front door and
frame had to be torn off to permit
the removal of the Office furniture
and other contents.
The other buildings connected with
the yard were completely consumed
and only charred remnants are left
OF the lumber piles, fit only for kind.

business in Litchfie1d for fifty years
and his stock was always large and

The origin of the fire is mystery
1t is possible and very probable that
it was set by some miscreant, for
there is, evidence that when first dis.
covered there were three dictinct

some one. One guess is as good as
