But the Philadelphia officials say of the Baker
estate that "there amt sch animile. The
mayor of Philadelphia asked John S. Brt adway
chief counsel of the bureau of legM aid, for q
report Here is his report:
"It appears that there was estate of Jacob
Baker a Revolutionary veteran, handled in the
Orphans Court of Philadelphia county. The rec
ords there show that 1t was disposed of about
1S47. The estate consisted Of about $4,000 or
$1,000 as shown by the account which is among
the papers. Through some means extensive in
formation has been spread around to the effect
that portion of this estate consists Of a 99-year
lease of certain real estate in the city of Phil
adephia a part of which is occupied by the pres
ent city hall, and additional real estate on
which the city of Chillicothe is situated
"The Information further is given that the real
estate In Philadelphia was held under a 99-year
lease which has just expired and that, therefore,
the real estate is available for distribution among
the various heirs of Jacob Baker. In consequence
of this the newspapers in various parts of the
country have printed articles the subject stat.
ing that the estate is valued at $500, 900
and that there about 300 heirs. Consequently
many people with the of Baker inter-
ested in obtaining share of this estate and we
are receiving great many letters and Inquiries
with reference to it.
"a search of the records fails to disclose any
such lease, any such property right, at least
so far the law In Philadelphia Is concerned.
The Orphans court reports to me that they con-
slider the whole matter fraud and the Register
of Wills office says the same"

International Hay and Grain Show

Many Colorado farmers will compete
for prizes on a wide variety of hay
and grains at the International Hay
and Grain Show, TO be held in con-
neotion-lSith- the International Live
Stock Exposition at the Colorado
Union Stockyards, November 26 to
December 3. Prizes totaling $4,000
are offered on corn, wheat, oats, rye,
barley. soy beans, field peas, kafir
and milo, alfalfa, clover and timothy.
The Colorado State Board of I'm
migration has arranged to have John
Howell of Montrose and James Nor
rison, county agricultural agent for
Logan county, represent the Board at
the show and look after all Colorado
exhibits that are sent with TO one ac-
companying them. This has been done
to encourage Colorado farmers who
are unable to 20 to Chicago to pre-
pare exhibits and send them with the
assurance that they will be properly
entered and cared for until the judg-
ing is completed and collected and re-
turned to the owners when the show
is over.
Colorado growers were fairly well
represented at this show last year and
made an excellent showing, consider
ing the feet that growers from all
parts of the United States and from
Canada were among the competitors.
Colorado exhibits took 27 prizes, in
cluding four firsts and five seconds.
It is hoped that the number Of ex-
hibitors from Colorado this year will
be much larger than last year, and
there is every reason to believe that
the number of winnings viii be larg-
er. Mr.. Howell and Mr.. Morrison
were both at the show last year and

WASHINGTON NOTES
Still Unsolyed.

After several months of controversy
between the railroad managers and
the railroad unions, and several weeks
of distraction of the public mind over
the threat of strike, the transporter
ton problem seems to be practically
where it was when the controversy
began. Some considerable cuts have
been made in freight rates, but ship
pers contend that the transportation
charges are still so high as to hamper
trade. The railroads, although max
ing a somewhat greater net income,
are still far from making the average
net income which the transportation
law contemplates, and are able to
show a net income only by postpon-
ing needed maintenance of way and
maintenance of equipment. The labor
cost of operating the railroads is still
excessive as compared with the total
cost of operation if pre-war standards
be used as basis of comparison.
Not only is this financial and eco
nomic problem still unsolved but the
country is still confronted by the
danger of attempted settlement of
wage controversy by resort to the
destructive force of a strike. To all
appearances we have merely postpon-
ed final settlement of number of i'm
portant questions which must be set
tied before the country can get back
to normal.

were among the important prize win
ners. Mr.. Howell will have number
of exhibits of his own grain and
grasses this year and will also take
exhibits from other Montrose county
growers, while Mr.. Morrison will have
charge of n large number of exhibits
from Logan county. Both men have
had long experience in work of this
kind and will see to it that all Colo
RADIO exhibits are given careful hand
ling and full attention.
Colorado exhibitors who will be un-
able to attend the show have been re-
queGted to send their exhibits by ex-
press, prepaid, addressed to the Inter
national Grain and Hay Show, in care
of John Howell The management of
the show has been notified that Mr..
Howell and Mr. Morrison will be on
hands to look after Colorado ship
ments and will see that everything
from the state is turned over to them
The Chicago show is now regarded as
the most important competitive dis
play of agricultural products held in
the country, and winnings made there
are Of great advertising value to the
state and TO the various counties

Protect Beet Sugar Industry.

A. +. Carlton, President of the Hol-
ly Sugar Company, Colorado Springs,
Colorado, in discussing the necessity
of a tariff to protect the sugar-beet
grower and beet-sugar manufacturer
from killing competition, clinches his
arguments with the following irrefut-
able statements:
'The history of the sugar trade
demonstrates the value, in the matter
of price control, of our own domestic
supply. If our country were depend
ent entirely upon foreign production.
We would soon pay the price fixed by
the foreigners. No greater calamity
can befall the domestic consumer than
to have the sugar supply of the United
States controlled by foreigners, who,
paying no taxes, and free from re-
straints so far rs pools and monopolies
are concerned, could control prices,
production, and all things that 20 into
the marketing Of this commodity.
"For years Germany has paid the
production of an export surplus. A
tariff sufficient to guarantee the pro-
duction Of our entire sugar require
ments would appear to be sound
economic policy for the United States.
"The eastern manufacturers, pro-
tected by a tariff, should remember
that 92 per cent of their business is
domestic, and therefore the beet in
dustry is Of Importance to them, and
that free sugar does not mean cheap
sugar.
Nearly all of our agricultural com
modities are produced in excess of
home consumption, and the price is
therefore fixed in the worlds markets.
Sugar is one of the few agricultural
commodities that can be protected by
a tariff.
Fifty per cent of the beet sugar
companies are today in the hands of
bankers committees. Their only sal
walton is prompt action by Congress.
The Federal Trade Commission re-
ports issued by the government are
replete with data respecting the beet
sugar industry. Bankers can tell you
of the serious financial conditions OF
the companies. The question Of prov
iding money for the present campaign
has been difficult Several factories
are unable to begin operations, and
many others have found it necessary
TO mortgage their daily production"
The time to act is now. not after
our beet-sugar industry has been seri-
ously crippled and we are left at the
mercy Of the foreign producer.

HURwIT EXTENDS OPERATIONS

The Hurwitz Creamery Company
has opened another creamery at
Front Royal, Va. We are glad to
see them progressing in establishing
these creameries. Lets hope our
neighboring farmers and dairymen
will give their utmost support to help
them succeed at their new Front
Royal plant.
We are glad to have such pro-
gressive concern, willing to help ex-
tend dairying in our state, by estab-
fishing these creameries at the ex-
penditure of many thousands of doll
lars, which not only provides ready
cash market for the farmer, but
dairying helps him carry along his
other products for which he only gets
seasonal sales, and if one or two
crops are failure, he is compelled
to depend on other sources, which
sometimes places him in financial
difficulties. In dairying he is always
assured of cash money, which means
success.
We urge our farmers and dairy
men to support the Hurwitz Cream
cry Company. We do not see why
any milk or cream should be shipped
out, when our local creameries pay
more than what you get by shipping
it away, besides you are helping to
support a local industry, which
means more to you in the end.

stopped by the side of the road to re-
pair a puncture. While the repairs
were being made, Mrs. Robinson, to
pass away the time, walked along the
road some distance. Another cal
came around curve near the point
where Mrs. Robinson was walking
and before she could get out of the
way or the driver could steer to the
other side the car struck Mrs. Rob.
lnson, knocking her down, fractur.
ing her right arm and causing num-
erous bruises on her body.
