CAR SHORTAGE
BECOMES SERI-
Gus TOFARNIERS
CROP is BEING HARVESTED But
FARMERS ARE UNABLE To
MARKET THEIR CROP AT PRES
ENT TIME.

The marketing of Sedgwick county
big wheat crop is at standstlil Jus'
at the present time owing to the IN
bility Of the local grain men to secure
the necessary cars to transport ;ae
erain to the big centers. While TINS
has been more or less the case III
former years it has never reAched tne
serious proportions that is facing the
farmer this year. And even with TINS
hip shortage in cars comes big drop
in the price of wheat that means a
loss to the farmers of many thousands
Of dollars. No one yet has really been
able to tell just what is causing TINS
hig shortage that seems to be bigger
now than at any former time.
Iokh the Farmers Cooperative Gram
eompany and the S. M. Beadle Gram
company have their elevators filled
to their capacity and have not been
able to handle any more gram 1or d
few days till they can get cars 10 snip,
In Interviewing the lumber deaiers
we find that farmers all through tne
country are making herculean enorts
now to build granaries to store our
big crop. Carpenters have more now
than they can do for months to come
erecting buildings to store the crop.
This big drop in the price Of wheat
comes every year at about TINS tlhe
and is more or less expected but usu-
sily there is enough cars to take care
Of a big majority of the gram: nut
being enable to get cars to snip tne
prain and then to have the big drop
IN price is something that is hard to
explain. .,;. sectior
t,rned out better than many expected
and the total yield will undoubtedly be
MANY thousand bushels greater than
was estimated a few weeks ago.

OF SUCH is THE KINGDOM

The little three weeks old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Krist was called
to the Kingdom Saturday evening,
where death shall be no more, neither
sorrow. Little Mary Jane was born
in a hospital in Denver, three weeks
ago, where every possible care was
given both to the mother and the
infant child. The anxious parents
nourished the fondest hopes that the
little one would be spared to them
and for three weeks it looked like
their hopes would be realized, but it
seemed at last it was not to be, for
on Saturday, she breathed her last.
Two nurses were in care of her, but
without avail The mother is doing
as we'll as could be expected under the
circumstances. This is the third
time Mr.. and Mrs. Krist have suf-
fered a loss of their little one this
way and we are sure the sincerest
sympathy of the entire community
will be extended to them in this their
hour of bereavement. Interment was
made in Reservation Cemetery, west
of town.

Big TRUCK DEMON
STRATION HERE
NEXT THURSDAY
BIG CARAVAN OF TRUCKS WILL
ARRIVE TO GIVE PRACTICAL
DEMONSTRATIONS OF WHAT
THEY CAN DO.

A. r. Osterloh, Jr., of the Rocky
Moutain Auto Trades association, AZ
rived here today to make preliminary
arrangements for the forthcoming Wis
it of a caravan of pneumatic tired
trucks which is making a tour Of edp-
cation through the farming communi.
ties of this region.
The unique tour, which is being
made under the auspices of prominent
Denver motor truck distributors, u
known as the Rocky Mountain Aute
Trade Farm Development Tour.
There will be 40 persons with the tour
apd 20 trucks. They will arrive il
Julesburg Thursday, August IL, st
l 200 p. m.
The demonstrations being made b
this unique motorcade constitutes q
radical departure from previous motoe
truck tours. BY actually hauling farm
produce from the farms along tie
route of the tour to eastern Colorado
shipping points without charge to the
farmers, the trucks will show the food
producers Of this vicinity just what
they can do to facilitate the moving
of crops, cope with the labor shortage
and replace horses in farm operations,
with the motor trucks.
Speakers will accompany the tour
to explain the important part being
taken by the motor truck in solvin0
the countrys transportation problems.
Interesting motion pictures will alss
be shown at the night meetings.
Free demonstrations will be given On
farms, and at industrial plants to
show that the pneumatic tired truck
is faster. costs less to operate and
does not do the damage to highways
that other vehicles do.
1t will also be shown that prosperity
depends upon production and trans
portation and in communities where
the motor truck has been adopted ON
large scale there has been great
saving in the cost of distribution.
A local committee consisting OF
Jacob Frickel, Jr., and Ralph Rozell
is making arrangements to welcome
the tourists.
The demonstrators have issued .
challenge to Sedgwick county farm
ers to produce job they cannot han
die. Mr.. OFT is looking after these
jobs for the demonstrators and asks
farmers to notify him well in advancs
Of the jobs which will be turned over
to the trucks, in order that he may
arrange their itinerary before arrival.
The nature and condition of the work
is left to the farmers. The demsnstra-
tors challenege the farmers to pro-
duce a capacity load which they cannot
haul over his fields, plowed lands or
any road.
Anyone desiring to have demon
stration Of the trucks is asked b
leave word at any of the garages in
the city, or with the First National
Bank or Rozell's Clothing store. The
demonstration will be made absolute
'ly free and over any conditions Of
hauling, preferably adverse conditions.

TWO MEXICANS
ARRESTED FOR
SHOPLIFTING
ARE CAUGHT In CASH STORE BY
LOU PETERSEN Scar c H
MADE OF THEIR ROOM AND
MORE GOODS FOUND.

Quite little excitement was Gre
ated here Monday when two Mexicans
that had drifted into town were caught
in the act of stealing merchandise
out of our stores and were found with
the goods hid in their clothing. The
two pals were not laborers but were
of the more cultured class and thought
they were pretty smooth. They were
first caught in Lou Peterson's store.
Going into Mr.. Peterson's store. one
of the gentry engaged the clerk in
conversation and pretended to want to
buy something. The other fellow
sauntered to the north side of the
store and proceeded to help himself.
Mr.. Peterson came in from the back
office and ordered the chap to get back
with his partner and stay there. The
fellows clothes bulged little too sus-
piciously and Lou didn't do thing but
reach right into his big overalls an'
pull out couple of ladies skirts which
he had thrust in there for safe keep
ing. The fellow was so crude in his
work of shop-lifting that he actually
stuffed the skirt hangers in with the
skirts. A call was hastily sent out
for the sheriff or marshal, Mr.. Peter
son I"lulHE L1tIH meanwhile Wltli
help arrived. They were compelled
to pay for the two skirts, which were
valued at 1925 and for some hosiery
that they had taken. One of the
fellows carried concealed weapon
a Colts-besides a razor. The sheriff
and deputy arrested them both and
took them up to the county Jail. The
officers thought there might be more
than this ons> case of stealing against
them so they began to ply them with
questions. At first the Mexicans re-
fused to tell where they stayed the
night before. pretending not to be able
to understand, but some stiff threat
ening unloosed their tongues and they
named their rooming house A search
was made of this room and there was
found fine pair of trousers they had
stolen out of the Ryan store, besides
some other goods. These they had
hidden under the mattress.
The pair is now in Jail, awaiting dis
position of their cases. They may be
compelled to lodge there until district
court meets. It's bad case and the
offenders should be sent over the road
They gave their names as Tizro Vile
gos and Alberto Romero.

COUNTY WILL GET
81 231.75 FROM
.STATELAND BOARD
THIS AMOUNT is DERIVED FROM
INCOME OF STATE SCHOOL
FUNDS AND is TO BE APPOR-
TONED TO SCHOOLS.

The State Board Of Land Commits
sioners last week apportioned $685.
034.57 among the various counties Of
the state in proportion to the school
population.
This large amount of money repre-
sents the semi-annual income from
State school funds and is transferred
to the county treasurer of each county
from the office of the state treasurer
and in turn therefrom apportioned
among the various school districts in
each county.
The income now being derived from
state school lands and permanent
school funds makes considerable dif-
ference in the amount of taxes levied
for the maintenance of the schools Of
the state.
The permanent school fund has now
increased to something over Sc, 800
900 all of which is invested in govern
ment, state and city bonds and farm
loans. This permanent fund is in
creasing at the rate of over $500, 900
per year at the present time and is
Being augmented every year by in
creased sale of school lands, the price
Of which has increased very mater
tally in the past two years.
There is still remaining in the
hands of the state board Of land COM
missioners something over 3,50O,OO0
acres Of school lands Much of this
land has coal and mineral deposits
and will be a great inheritance for
the school children in the years to
come and will help even more then
than now in making good schools in
Colorado.
The apportionment for Sedgwick
county was $2,231.75.

Tourist Pays Mex
lean 45 for Seri-
GUS (?) Accident

A Mexican was struck by an auto
that was being driven by tourist late
last week, as the latter was driving
through the west edge of town. The
accident happened just after dusk and
the Mexican was riding a bicycle when
as he was driving without his lights,
and the Mexican pretended for while
to be hurt. The tourist settled by
paying $45 for the damaged wheel,
took the bike, and went on. The
Mexican next morning was feeling fine
did not limp or show any other signs
of injury, and probably thought he
made lucky settlement. Ditto for
the tourist. It might have been worse.
