z. ROGER JONES TENDERS
RESIGNATION WITH LAND CO.
Cashier of A. v. B. 5. & l. Co. Will
Engage in Businsss-Goes to
Salt Lake City.

E. Roger Jones. who for the past
two years has been cashier of the
Arkansas Valley Beet Sugar & Ir-
rigated Land Co., has rendered his
resignation with the company, the
same to take effect the 25th of the
present month. This announcement
this week was surprise to his
many friends here.
Mr.. Jones' action, however, is not
prompted by any dissatisfaction
with the company or its manage
ment, but solely for the purpose of
engaging in business for himself.
While he had been considering the
matter for some weeks past, he had
not reached final decision until
the first of the new year, when he
wrote his resignation but did not
make the matter public owing to
the absence of the manager, Mr. W..
s. Partridge, who with his wife was
spending the holidays with rela-
tives in New York.
Mr.. Jones has interested himself
in the General Auto Service Co.
with headquarters in Denver. He
will, however, first go to Salt Lake
StLy W ldhC 'lilC ICIupOl NlS IuuAl-
agement OF the company's branch
at that place. He is not certain at
this time whether he will remain
permanently in Salt Lake or locate
in Denver, from which city he
came to Holly about two years ago
to accept position with the land
company.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones have both
been constructively active in church
and social circles since coming to
Holly and their departure will be
learned with sincere regret by all
who know them. Their removal will
be distinct loss to the Presbyter-
ian church, where Mr.. Jones was
superintendent of the Sunday
school and leader of the choir, and
Mrs. Jones was in charge of the
beginners class.
Mr.. Jones had not fully decided
this morning Just when he and his
family will leave Holly for their
new western home.

THE LIGHT IN THE
CLEARING; SERIAL STORY
Will Begin In The Chieftain Next
Week-Watch for Tits
Good One.

Beginning next week or the week
following The Chieftain will begin
the publication of serial story en-
titled, THE Light in the Clearing"
by Irving Bachelor. 1t is a story
of gripping interest throughout,
and If you enjoy story you should
not miss a single chapter.
Besides the presentation of this
serial story The Chieftain has add
ed four more pages to the paper,
making II pages instead of eight
as heretofore. These four extra
pages will contain, besides an in
stallment of 'The Light in the
Clearing" brief summary of the
Colorado legislative doings and a
column of Colorado state news.
1t is the aim of the present man.
agement to make The Chiftin real
live country newspaper, well worth
the money. With this end in view
first-class country correspondence
department is being developed.
Readers will, perhaps, note that The
Chieftain already has three excel
lent correspondents, at Bristol,
Hartman and Webb. This depart
ment will be enlarged from time to
time as correspondents can be Sc
cured. All these correspondents
are paid in the same way that sim
liar service is paid for by the met.
ropolitan papers.
The idea is that The Chieftain
wants to publish the country hap
penings and is willing to pay for
the service. And, incidentally the
people in this end of the county,
who do not get The Chieftain regu'
larly, are losing 9 lot in various
ways.

Mr.. and Mrs. Partridge Home.

Manager w. s. Partridge of the
A. V. Land Co., and Mrs. Partridge
returned home last Sunday night
from New York City, where they
had been spending the holidays
with relatives. Their visit was
somewhat marred by Mr. Partridge
taking on q life-sized case of the old
fashioned grip, which kept him in
for a number of days. They were
up in Toronto and Montreal, Cana
da, as well as northern New York
state. They report less snow than
here but severe winds, and both
are glad to be back in Colorado.
Aside from Mr.. Partridge's siege of
the grippe, they had a pleasant
time.

To Make Flyers Invisible.

Many efforts are being made to make
the airplane invisible from the earth
when it is soaring through the ether.
One idea calls for the use of transpar-
ent material, at least for all purposes
where n canvas covering is used at
present. such us the wings and the
fuselage. One Of the latest ideas of
the kind is said TO be an airplane which
uses noninflammable celluloid for the
wings and other parts. and when fly
ing ut Il few hundred feet elevation
the apparatus is quite invisible. ac-
cording to reports. A new mufIllng
box on the motor serves to deaden the
sound. One advantage of the transpar-
ence is that observations can be made
In all directions.

Guns at Sea.

Naturally, being continually on the
move, a warshlp Is less satisfactory
gun platform than the solid earth.
Even In the calmest sea vessels con-
stantly roll from side TO side.
Theoretically. the best time to fire Is
nj the moment between the rolls, when
the deck is perfectly level. II is prac-
tically impossible, however, To fire ex-
actly at that moment. No matter how
careful the gunner may be, he fires
his gun just before or just after the
proper instant.
The rule in the American navy is TO
wait for the downward roll''-that is,
fire at the moment the ship is about
10 move down through the motion OF
the waves. The maxim IN the British
navy is exactly the reverse; that is,
''wait for the upward roll" rule that
has been observed from the very earli-
est days of fighting by the gunners In
British ships.

one of the difficulties of the walk
ing wounded ut the front, II has been
frequently noted, is their inability TO
determine the direction or location or
the nearest first-aid station. To help
solve this difficulty the American Red
Cross Is furnishing TO the American
army several thousand small cloth
signs, the distribution Of which Will
follow the advance of every American
attack. Red Cross men, stretcher
bearers and runners will carry them
and they will be tackled on trees, posts

I'm the wake of the advancing men,
pointing the way to the tirst-aid dress
ing stations.
The markers are of white cloth,
with u large red cross at one end ana
IA red arrow at the other to indicate
the direction. The American Red Cross
has been told by army officers that
these markers will save untold suffer
Ing and even the, lives of some men,

ponds largely upon the promptness
with which IL receives attention.

HOPE TO AVERT
MINER STRIKE.
Is cents a package

Philadelphia, Oct.,. 12.-Although
the conference between bituminous
coal operators and miners, which was
held here last week, ended in a dead
lock and il was announced that a
general strike would be called for
November 1, there were indications
today that the difficulties would yet
be adjusted. Both sides officially
declared their willingness to meet
again, and il was strongly indicated
that third interest, possibly officials
in Washington, would bring them to-
gether.
John w. Lewis, acting president of
the United Mine Workers, left for In
dianapolis tonight. Before going he
announced that he would issue the
strike call by telegraph on Tuesday.
No strike vote will be necessary, ow-
ing to the action of the recent conven-
tion in Cleveland.
Thomas F. Brewster, of ILL.,, presi-
dent of the conference, representing
the operators, before leaving the city
today declared that the operators
were willing to meet with the miners
at any time on basis of modifi-
cation of the demands.

Land Girls Winter Outfit.

The land girls winter outfit has been
exercising the attention of the Lon
don ladies' taiors. Throughout the
summer months the girl who works on
the land has presented very smart
appearance In her fresh white tunic
and knee breaches of khaki drill. The
coming colder weather, however, de-
mands something more substantial
than drill, and the land suit Of khaki
corduroy is the latest vogue In agri-
cultural uniforms. Pockets, except as
IA decoration, have played very minor
part in feminine fashions for some
years now, but the tailors report that
the land girls insist upon full equip
ment OF big workmanlike pockets In
breeches and tunics. The women war
workers are very particular about the
cut of their uniforms and the outfits
now being turned out by the tailOrs,
In perfection of workmanship and fin
:sh, compare very well with the most
expensive creations of fashion.

BUT THE CONSUMER PAYS.

People who are paying abnormal
prices for coal find little comfort in
the controversy between the fuel ad-
ministration and the director-general
of the railroads. The government
fuel official asserts that the miners
can produce 40 per cent more coal
than the country can burn and that II
cars enough are provided coal will
be plentiful and reasonable in price,
The retort of the railroad administra-
ton is that the fuel crowd is making
excuses for the situation at the mines
and is trying to shift the blame on
the railroads. But wherever the
blame lies, the argument does not

The lesson of this controversy is
that government ownership and con-
troll do not insure good service and
reasonable prices. The government
assumed responsibility for mining and
transportation; wages were inflated,
efficiency was lowered, and prices
were pushed up to abnormal levels.
And all the satisfaction that the con-
sumner can get is in expressing his
opinion of government ways of doing
business. Meanwhile he is assessed
heavily for the governments expert
ments and it promises to be long
