Car Burns Up.

A Ford car belonging to Ray
Swisher of near Holcomb, was de-
stroyed by fire Monday, when the
gasoline tank exploded after the
car fell through bridge near the
Lowe store of Lowe, northwest of
this city. Clarence Williams and
his sister, Mrs. Ray Swisher and
baby were riding in the car at the
time of the accident, and while
none were seriously hurt. the lady's
clothes caught fire, but with the
help of Engineer Roggenbuck, and
his train crew. the flames were
quickly extinguished. The Sugar
company train happened to be
near the scene of the accident and
saw the car fall through the
bridge. Tt is believed that Mexi-
can had built fire under the
bridge in order to warm and had
failed to put it out before leaving
The wind whipped the fire with
the result that the supports were
burned out with the above casualty.
The Ford was nearly new and was

If the Importance of thorough

Are Necessary to Develop
a Country.
PIONEER COMES FIRST
Is HIGHLY ESSENTIAL
Second Brings the Churches and
Schools; the Third Solidarity and
Permanency-Colorado Still Has
Place for ALI.

1t, is said that fully three waves
of civilization sweep over a new
territory before it is finally Oc-
cupied by permanent class OF
citizens. First it is the buckskin
pioneer, with his coon skin cap,
usually of that class which is OF
rowing dispositiOn-rollng stones
that gather no moss-whO can at
short notice put their traps and
calamities into q wagon and move
on. These are solitary in habit and
children born to them inherit the
same prOpensities because their
environment instils ideas and hab-
it's which make them pioneers also.
Cooper, the novelist, described
them long ago, and they are not
unfamiliar to many readers OF the
Field and Farm. They are simply
skirmishes of the civilization army
which has, since the settlement at
Plymouth in Massachusetts, or
jamestown in Virginia, been stead
lily advancing and conquering the
country for noble humanity.
AS such they are entitled to
share of the credit of developing
this great nation for they have
made it great. But it is to the
second class OF immigrants that
community or commonwealth owes
its principal prosperity; for these
lay the foundation of the social
fabric by establishing churches,
schools, highways and railroads
Living frugal, Industrious and con-
scientious lives as they had to do.
they give their children habits OF
self-reliance, perseverance and
morality, which enables the new
generations to occupy positions OF
trust and give character to the
section they represent.
Yet another class of settlers
comes in. These are thrifty, sue
cessful farmers from the older
communities, whose families have
outgrown the circumscribed area of
the old homesteads back east, and
in whom the ties of relationship
are strong enough to impel a gen
eral exodus to whom land is not
yet considered as permanent in
vestment, and dated accordingly.
But their introduction is more
gradual, and they buy the farms OF
residents who have passed the
Z VI d1lu WlloSO NAAliulSA IA
many cases are the professional
and business people of the towns.
In this way the evolution of a
community is brought about, and
changes occur which affect it in
proportion to the Intellectual ca
pacity of the original settlers to
impress their characters upon the
newcomers. A piece of land in the
west offers today greater emporium
tiles for independence and content
ment than can be found in any of
the other channels of life. The faces
of millions of anxious seekers after
homes are turned toward the west,
and the next two years will no
-pubt witness the doubling of the
oulation of the plains and in
ountain regions: The condi-
and opportunities for making a

before because of the trials.

The Farmer-Labor Party

There is no use blinking the fact
that the new Farmer-Labor Party is
very active in some western states.
The movement has the combined
support of the Non-Partisan League,
the radical labor leaders, and all soci-
alistic elements.
1t is estimated in Washington state
to have 10000 paying members at SIG
per, and nearly 100 state organizers
in the field. There is the same form
idable organization in Idaho, Colorado
and Montana.
In California, owing to the enact
mcnt of cooperative systems and the
Farm Market Law. this movement has
not gained much headway and a SINH
lar measure is proposed in Oregon.
1t is believed that the enactment of
such law in any of these western
states would head off the tripartite.
socialistic combination.
Success at the polls of the Farm
er-Labor Party in any western state
would duplicate the program of state
socialism that is in full swing in North
Dakota.
1t would introduce the sharp, cut
ting wedge of state and Federal social
ism in our American political affairs,
undoubtedly to be followed by other
manifestations of Soviet and Bolshev-
istic tendency.

BARNES CIRCUS COMING
Saturday. October %, the Big Day for
Lamar and Southeastern
Colorado.

Ferocious animals and charming
bits of feminity are curiously inter
mingled in the performance of the Al
G. Barnes firing wild animal circus,
which exhibits in Lamar on October
23rd, which will, no doubt, provide a
jolly holiday for the folks for 30 rifles
around
With its 1900 wild animal actors, its
$50 performing horses, and 600 people
this organization is said to present an
exhibition unequalled in the annals Of
circusdom, and on a massive and eor-
geous scale.
From the opening pageant, to the
closing feature, sensational thrillerss
pass in review, lions ride wild horses
like regular cowboys; tigers dance, 30
tons of elephants perform in one act;
20 tigers in another, hyenas and pumas
vie with hundreds of other wild ami
mails in accomplishing seemingly i'm
possible feats; there are educated
camels and racing ostriches with Arab
riders; and there is a whole. flock Of
clowns. working overtime to supply tie
fun.
The Barnes street parade is now
two miles long. asd many Of the ami
mails quarters are wide open so that
all may see them and their daring
trainers; the parade leaves the show
grounds at 1880 in the morning OF
circus day, and travcrses the princi-
pal business streets; on its return to
the lot, the free attractions commence.
while the doors TO the zoo and the biz.
show open at / 800 and 700 p. m, al
lowing an hour to inspect the biggest
zoo in the world.
One of the features is Captain Ri
cardo wrestling grizzly bear, one OF
the most dangerous acts that could be

Does II Pay to Fertilize Wheat in
Colorado.

This question has been asked 30
often that the Editor decided TO inter
view the Agronomy Department of the
Experiment Station. According to
that Department the use of mineral
fertilizers has never been found to
pay on wheat in Colorado.
This is due to the fact that most
Colorado wheat soils are already rich
in the mineral constituents of fertil-
ity. 1t docs pay, however, to see that
the land is supplied with organic mat
ter of humus, either by putting on
banyard or other manure in proper
quantities or by plowing under a crop
of alfalfa in the rotation. Colorado
soils need organic matter and water.
They are already quite rich in mineral
matter. Experiments covering nearly
lG years gave just as good results on
untreated plats as on the treated plats
where mineral fertilizers We're used
without organic matter.
