Farmers Should
Construct SilOs
Early in Season

Manufacturers say this year is 70
be the banner year in siio buiidinr.
Farmers should get their orders n
early and have the siios built before
they are needed. is the advice OF r. W.
Clark, extension specialist OF the Col
orado Agricultural College Last
year ordering was put off until late
and on account OF the dry weather IN
some parts of the state many orders
given early in the season ware sus.
pended until after the rains came
This condition was very undesirable
and many q farmer was disappointed
in getting his siio up when the crop
was ready
To avoid this condition again farm.
ers should look well ahead and plan
accordingly.
Farmers have plenty of time to put
in pit silo " they win start II early
and should set aside a definite time
when this is to be done and do n.
Thousands Of pit siios are needed on
the dry lands and the dry land farm
ers win not be satisfied until they get
them

The truss roof over the back por-

from some unknown reason about l 80
O'Clock this afternoon and fell with a
big crash without warning, but with

front part of the garage at the time.
but as that portion OF the building
was not affected, nobody was hurt
Oscar Freek has just driven a big
ear out from that section of the struc-
ture where the roof fell in, and prob
ably saved his own life and damage
to the car in doing so. There were
four cars in the Inflated apartment
when the affair happened, but only
one of them. a machine belonging to
e. w. Eddy. of the Strathmore hotel.
was damaged, and it only slightly.
The section of the roof that fell in
was about SO feet square and its
weight was several toms. The roof
was an old one. but there was no sus-
picion that it was not strong enough
to last for many years. Underneath
was a concrete floor. which was badly
cracked and broken by the falling
roof. That nobody was injured and
that the damage was not more serious
is a matter for congratulation. The
loss will aggregate several hundred
dollars.

Coal Creek Fire

During The high wind Of Thursday
morning a barn caught fire at the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Wertz at Coal
Creek. and the structure burned so
rapidly that the horse which was in
the stall at the time. was burned TO
death before II could be rescued. The
fire occurred about II O'Clock Il. m.
and as the mine was working there
we're few men about town TO assist in
the work OF combating the flames
against the strong wind.
The hose cart was rushed 10 the
scene and a stream OF water kept the
flames from spreading. The barn and
outbuildings were completely de-
srroyed. but the residence was saved.

Coal Strike
May Not Come
Till November

The coal strike in District No. IL.
which may be precipitate.I D.. .iie fact
(, that the coal companies assert they
do not intend TO sign contract vi,li
The miners, may ne held on until next
November in tho opinion OF many coal
men. who knew both sides or the stu.
alton thoroughly.
II Is their contention that The min
ers will delay their strike until the
demand for coal is at its height, which
VIII be next November or about that
time They say that coal production
is ordinarily light in the summer
months anyway. and some mines close
down. and that the miners would not
gain any particular advantage by call
ing a strike al the time their con.
tracts expire. which is in April.
These men say that the miners or
ganization has always wanted the con-
tracts to expire in November so that
then. with the demand for coal SO
great. they would have a distinct ad-
vantage over the operators, and be-
ileve they can thus make them ac-
cede to their demands quicker.
II is said that the operators do not
intend TO enter into contracts any
more because the system has not
been worked out satisfactorily to
them. and they intend to ficf,t out the
issue. The conjecture of these gen.
tiemen is that the matter will hang
FIRE until the colder months next IRE
and they do not believe strike will
come during the spring.
They say that the people. as a rule,
are notoriously negligent in storing
M coal during the summer for winter
months. and that uniess they change
their habit and store this summer.
they will encounter much the same
trouble they had last winter. Storage
rates for coal. II Is understood. are in
effect In March, April. May. June and
July. and that the prices will not be
any lower than they are now In
fact. some OF the operators ind they
can not make any money on the pres
ent rate. and expect to close up shop
until such time as they can command
profitable selling price on the
market

Cantata Given at
Christ Church

The cantata "Penitence. Pardon
and Peace" by the composer Maun-
der. given at Christ church Friday
night by the choir, under the direction
of Miss Millicent Steacy. assisted by
Miss Nina Arnold. soprano, was a
splendid musical production, and was
greatly enjoyed by all privileged to be
present Both the choral and solo
singing was superb and evoked their
need Of pleasure and admiration. The
cantata was free, but the attendance
was not as large as had been hoped
would be the case. 1t is hardly too
much to say that this classic and
beautiful masterpiece of sacred music
was never presented in a more exact
and meritorious manner than II was
by the choir OF Christ church Friday
night.

M|KADO SCORES
WITH AUDIENCE
At CHAUTAUQUA
Delightful japanese Opera AS
Fresh AS When First Pen
ned; Delightful Old
Lyrics Please.

The Mikado, delightful Japanese
light opera, it seems will @never
grow old. In it's presentation last
night by the Davies Light Opera
company at Chickasha's chautauqua,
the piece seemed as fresh and bright
as when it was first released from
the pens of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Ko Ko was just a weirdly funny
and Yum Yum was as delightfully."-
cunning as they ever were and 1t
seemed just as much OF a shame as
ever that these two, ill-mated souls
should be united by marriage ju 1t
because Ko Ko wanted to marry hi
ward and because the Japanese Gus
tom said that she must marry him
him and il was a big relief when
Nanki Poo won the heart and hand
OF the willing Yum Yum and Ko
Ko was slated to marry the "most
unattractive old thing, tra-la,
Katisha, who would ordinarily be
just the sort of wife to hold 70
Ko in his proper place.
AS singly as bright and charm
ing as ever were the lyrics of the
old Milado favortes, you May
Put 'em on the List" by Ko Ko,
Three Little Maids from School Are
We" by Yum YUM peep Bo aui
PittlSing, "a Wandering Minstrel
by Nanki Poo and doubtless one OF
the most popular light opera airs
ever written, "The Flowers That
Bloom in the Spring, Ira La" a
duet by Yum Yum and Nanki Poo.
The piece was exceedingly well
presented by the Davies players
considering the fact that they
worked with only the principals, un
supported by chorus or the prope"
state settings.

OWNER OF HENRIETTA CLUB is
BELIEVER IN CLEAN SPORT; is
FOR BETTER LEAGUE NEXT YEAR

sports for sports sake" is the
motto OF Or. w. G. Sanderson OF
Henryetta. owner OF the Henryetta
ball team who is spending his va
cation this summer travelling with
his club.
DR. Sanderson is here with the
Henryetta club and was not the
least Of the interested fans yester.
day at University park when tn.
Chicks won the over the Hens by
score OF to 4. DIR. Sanderson is
not noisy fan. but there are few, il
any, who take keener interest in
the game than does the owner OF
the Hens, or who sizes up a situa-
ton on the ball field more clearly
or readily than he. He travels with
the team and lives with "his boys
who to a man would do about any
thing but murder for their owner,
Doc"
The llenryetta mogul has been
engaged in the active practice Of
medicine in Henryetta for num-
ber OF years and because he liked
sport and wanted a vacation, lie
backed the Henryetta ball club and
Is still baking il to the limit with
visions of the fltllre
His aim is for clean sport for a
clean league where the best team
wins and where all others hail them
as just vctors He wants all the
ball games on the win side OF the
ledger that Henryetta can win fair
ly, but II they can't win fairly, HIS
idea Is to let em take a licking. DR.
Sanderson has visions OF a better
Western association for next year,
a Western association that viii
prove second to none in its class
and a league that is developer
of younsters.
II all baseball men were like DE-
Sanderson, baseball would be even
bigger, more wholesome sport
