Land Recently Acquired by
Northern Farmers.
STARTING IN WITH TWO
LARGE CASE TRACTORS
Messrs. Oman and olderman of
Sterling Are Practical Farmers
and Have Had Commendable Sue
cess in Handling Dry Lands.

OF the thousands of acres of both
irrigated and non-irrigated land
which have been sold in this part
of the state during the past year,
none of the transfers are perhaps
of greater significance to the early
future development of the south
side nOn-irrigated section than the
three sections bought recently by
Messrs. Ellis Oman and Lloyd Older
man of Sterling, Colo.
Great Importance attaches to the
acquisition of these three sections
by the above named gentlemen for
the reason that they are now pre-
pairing to put at least 1900 acres of
this land in shape for planting to
winter wheat this fall. Messrs.
Oman and Olderman arrived here
last Friday and Monday took out
two brand new 2240 Case tractors
and two 5-bottomed plows prepara-
tory to breaking up the land. They
will also use other modern tools in
the improvement of the large tract.
1t is worthy of special note in this
connection that Messrs. Oman and
Olderman are not nOvices in this
class or magnitude of farming and
the handling of semi-arid land.
They have been operating near
Sterling for the past five years
where Mr.. Oman still has quart
er-sectiOn of irrigated land which
he recently refused $25,0O0 for,
though he had short time before
sold another irrigated quarter for
this amount When these men be
gan operations near Sterling five
years ago their lands were not un.
der irrigation and were bought for
$50 per acre. Mr.. Oman emphatic
ally declares that the soil and
general farming conditions there
five years ago We're not nearly so
good or favorable as the land south
of here.
These lands situated IA miles
south of Holly, were bought by
Messrs. Oman and Olderman
through the local real estate firms
of WadsWorth & Reading and the
w. Z. s. Brown Land Co., and in
clude the D. c. Hays place which
they recently acquired through the
WadswOrth g. Reading Agency and
which they will occupy as their
home. They expect to have their
families here in q few weeks.
The extensive operations by
Messrs. Oman and Olderman will,
if as successful as they anticipate,
mean great deal to the southside
empire and will be watched with
great interest.
Various other new cOmers who
have located on the non-irrigated
land in south Prowers and north
Baca counties are planning on sim
liar development, though, perhaps
not on so large scale. But it is
safe to say that there will be more
actual agricultural development in
southeastern Colorado during the
coming year than has been done in
the past 10 years All this coun-
try is tributary to Holly and its
development means much to
Holly's commercial expansion.

TRUCK LOAD OF TURKEYS
BRINGS 40 CENTS A POUND
Sam Dean of Near Stonington
Realizes $128 from rs Birds
Shipped to Denver.

Samuel Dean residing eight miles
east of Stonington, and one of the
pioneer settlers of that section.
brought a Ford truck load of turk
eys in last Friday morning from
which he realized $l2S through
shipment to Denver.
Mr.. Dean had Is of the finest
turkeys seen in Holly for many
years, which may be judged from
the fact that one of the young
gobblers weighed close to IS
pounds. Mr.. Dean sold the turk
eys on the Denver market at 40
cents per pound, an exceptionally
high figure for this time of the
however. They were raised on Mr..
Deans farm and he says they had
been fed but very little. They had
fed upon grasshOppers and other
wise rustled their living in the
fields during the greater part of
the season.
Mr.. Dean says he and Mrs. Dean
formerly raised just turkeys, but
later discovered that it was far
more profitable to raise thorough
bred turkey as well as a thorough
bred COW or pig, for the reason that
the feed is scarcely if any more,
while the weight of the birds aver
ages from five to 10 pounds more.
Mr.. Dean homesteaded near StOn-
ington and has been q resident of
that section for the past IS years
and according to the general rule
with those who stick, has made
good.

HoLLYSroNINuToN LINE
TO BE BUILT TO PLAINS
New Telephone Company Held
Meeting Here Monday and Pre-
pared for Incorporation.


Meeting Here Monday and Pre-
pared for Incorporation.
AS per announcement the Holly.
Stonington Telephone Co. held q
meeting here Monday for the pur-
pose of completing arrangements for
incorporation under the state laws.
Owing to the inability of Lee Kel-
ley to be in attendance Henry Ford
was placed on the board of direc-
tors in his stead and the papers
were filed for incorporation and as
soon as they return the company
will be ready to issue stock.
More than $4,000 worth of stock
has already been subscribed in and
around Plains and Webb. 1t was
decided at Mondays meeting to
build the main toll line from Holly
to Plains and after this is COM
pleted and in operation arrange
ments will doubtless be perfected
for the extension of the line on in.
to Stonington.
AS soon as the incorporation for
malities are complete it is thought
that sufficient stock will soon be
sold for the building of the line and
that construction work will be un-
der way within the next 60 days.

Chicago Rotary Club, patterned one after il.
This was in turn rapidly followed by others.
Eventually, the National Board Of Commis-
sioners, a delegate body representing fourteen
clubs, arranged the first National Convention.
This was held in August, 1910, at Chicago. At
that time the term National Association of
Rotary Clubs" was adopted, but few years
later was changed to Information al" in recog-

All clubs seeking membership are carefully sur

adequate representation of sufficient lines Of

Membership

The Rotary Club is restricted to one member
from each distinct line Of business or profess
sion. Such plan makes for thorough repre-
sentation by all branches Of business, yet pre-
vents an unwieldy number or the domination
of any club by any one business or profession.
Such membership becomes an ideal forum for
the consideration Of public or cfvic questions
1t prevents tagging interest. for if lager de-
velops he is dropped for new and alert member.
Contact and exchange Of ideas with diversified
business interests is broadening in every sense

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

The changes wrought during 1919
by births, deaths and marriages In
many families materially affect the
liability OF members for income tax.
Millions OF babies have been added to
the family circles. each Of whom bring
$500 on the parents income tax return.
on the other hand, several millions OF
boys and girls became self-supportlng
and they form a new crop Of income
tax payers. Also, the grim reaper
brought It's many sorrows and removed
many dependents and many OF the
breadwlnHers themselves.
Accordingly It Is pointed out by in
ternal revenue officials. there are mil
lions OF persons who must this year
consider their income tax liability from
new angle. For their new status as
OF December 81, 1919, governs for the
full year.
Widows and wldowers who lost their
mates during 1919 are especially af-
fected. They must remember that nn-
less married AGAIN before December 81.
they are single In the eyes OF the in
come tax law Similarly. those who
were divorced or otherwise separated
from their wives or husbands must
consider themselves as single persons.
But a widow Is not required to show
on her personal return The income OF
her husband up TO the date OF his
death; and the same Is trne IN the case
Of a widOwer who suffered the loss Of
his wife during 1919 For the income OF
deceased persons must be considered
separately with respect TO requirement
10 nle a return for the deceased by The
executor or administrator. And The de-
ceased Is entitled 10 exemption for the
'''ll wear based upon his status at date
% death.
The bride and rrOom OF 1919 must |
0eure NJ tho income az each for The |
full year and consider it jointly with !
respect 10 income tax requirements, I
even though they may not have been
acquainted during port OF the year
Their status on December 81, joins
them for a ful year.
The internal revenue bureau points
out that persons status or December
81 governs two things: First. the re-
qulremcnt 10 Ole a return II the single
individual had a net income Of $1,000
Or more or II the married couple had a
net income Of $1,000 or more; second.
