HIGH COST OF POULTRY FEED
Cause Of Much Worry to Commercial
Poultryman and Fancier-Study
Market Conditions.

The high price of poultry feed is
causing much worry to the CONNER
cial poultryman, and possibly to the
fancier as well. Yet the man who
sells only eggs and birds for breeding
and showing purposes can afford to
pay the high prices for grain much
better than the one who sells to mar
kets only. Although eggs and poultry
meat are bringing high prices, the
price of feed advances; therefore, 1t
Is necessary for one to buy feeds in
as large lots as possible thereby get
ting better prices. Moreover, the mar
keting end of the business must be
studied from every angle now. Take
day or two off and go to your near
est city. Take a sample of your prod
uct along. TalS the markets over
with the best grocers in the city. Go
to the best hotels and make a contract
with the man VINO will offer you the
best prices, everything considered.
With feeds selling at prices as they
are today. the poultry and egg pro-
ducer must lock well into his market
ing in order to make ends meet.

The Bible, Agent
of Civilization
As Powerful as Ever in
Uplift Of Humanity.

More and more it is realized that
the Bible is the only book in the world
which can be applied to all classes,
all conditions and all times. Written
and compiled thousands of years ago,
when the world was in its infancy
and when humanity was cropping it's
way out Of the darkness into the light,
Its wonderful images, Its inspiring
stories and its uplifting spirituality
make 1t as valuable an agent of civili-
zation and as powerful factor In the
nplift of humanity as ever 1t was. In
fact, the Bible is found to be the best
known guide for social progress, for
political construction and for indus
trial peace. Its usefulness does not
stop there. 1t is now employed to teach
the lessons Of patriotism and to in
culcate the spirit of Americanism.-

Flowers OF sulphur .........16 pounds
Stone (unslaked) lime. e.......14 pounds

The sulphur is run through piece
Of fly screen so as to rid it of Jumps. It
Is then made into thin soupy paste
by adding water slowly and stirring
The lime is next put in and more wa
ter added, and the mixture stirred
slowly, as the lime slakes. Following
this, about ten gallons of water is
added and the mixture boiled from SO
minutes to one hour. 1t Is then made
up to so gallons, with warm water
and sprayed onto the trees while
warm.
Spray In Dormant Season.
The San Jose scale is so resistant to
sprays that any spray strong enough
to kill it will destroy the foliage Of
the trees If applied during the summer.
We therefore have to spray against
the San Jose scale during the dormant
season.
Where the trees are badly infested
two sprayings should be given-the
first, soon after the trees are made
dormant by frost in the fall, and the
second just before growth begins in
the spring. Much time and material is
saved in the spraying if the trees are
pruned before the spraying is done

Lincoln Would
Part With 81"

C. w Purcell, chairman of q COM
mittee of four from the Cowan neigh
borhood was in town today, and filed
a petition signed by 223 taxpayers
in ten townships in the southwestern
part of the county with County Clerk
and Recorder H. A. Johnson, asking
that the proposition to annex that ter
ritory to Crowley county be placed
on the ballot at the coming general
election. Under statute part of
a county can be annexed to another
county provided that majority of
the taxpayers in the portion to be an
nexed sign a petition for said annex
alton, and the proposition then car
ried by a majority of votes cast in
the county. The committee filing the
petition today are Messrs. Purcell,
Fred Glaspy, w. A. Gorsline and Mar
tin l.. Hay The petition was signed
by practically every resident taxpay-
er in the district to be annexed which
includes townships 16 & II of rang
es 55. Sc, 81, 5S and SO, and the
people in that portion of the county
are quiet enthusiastic over the ques-
ton to be submitted to the electors of
this county next November.
The Denocrat feels like supporting
a proposition of this kind, even tho
it takes portion of our county away
from US The citizens in the extreme
part of the l. who are sixty to
seventy miles from u county seat have
good grounds to be annexed to n
county which will make the county
seat much closer to them.
This is legitimate proposition put
up directly to the voters of this coun-
ty, whether they favor annexation.
The voters of Crowley county will al
SO vote on the question whether they
wish to accept the territory. In both
cases majority vote is required.
The residents of that portion of the
county have been figuring on this
proposition for sometime and now
that the country is fully settled de-
parent than ever. There is vast
difference in the creation of a new
county and the annexation to an
other county. If the people in the
county favor portion of the county
being cut off thru their vote no one
has complaint to offer and we be
lieve that the majority of the citizens
in this county VIII favor letting go Of
the ten townships in the southwestern
part of the county so remote from
their county seat.

Clever Robber Will
Not Irnplicate Self

]. F. Wallace, prisoner No. 1858
pathetic fellow to say the least-and
besides being a clever bank robber
is very clever attorney for himself
Wallace displays this in aletter writ-
ten to Jack Tansley of olney Springs
relative to a query regarding certain
jewels and liberty bonds stolen from
bank locker at the time of the rob
berry.
The Olney bank was robbed on the
night of August /, 1918. At about
that time other banks were robbed
and Wallace was apprehended, con-
victed and sent to the penitentiary on
the charge of the Crawford, Colo,
bank hold-up. It was generally be-
lieved that Wallace was one of the
men who robbed the Olney bank and
Tansley took it upon himself not long
ago to see what Wallace might have
to say and the following letter is the
answer he received, showing that the
prisoner is very clever fellow and
does not propose to implicate himself
that he might be taken up and tried
on the Olney charge when he has
served the present term:

stances as they appear unaltered.
However, the attempted robbery of
n iark at Golden proves that there
were other bank robbers in the state
at about the time of the Olney af-
fair and when the former attempt
was made I was sleeping in hotel
at Grand Valley. From newspaper
account judge that the robbers

were following the same method as

me to believe that the plunder ta-
ken from Olney Springs had been re-
covered, but l see that l nave been
misinformed. In view of your
opinion of the matter it is astonish-
ing that you should make such re-
quest, realizing that even If you
could be Accommodated II would cause

vitude for the accommodating party,
when brought to trial. Fermit ne
to say that if your touching plea
