of this course will be given at the
Town Hall Tue1day evening, October
18th.

$500 instead of s2.20 as stated in
our last weeks issue. 1t has been
decided that all proceeds over and
above the expense of conducting this

this will eliminate the war tax. Sea
son tickets for all under twelve years
of age will be s1.50.

Shorthorn Men
Hold Banquet.

Shorthorns. from beginning to end
was the keynote of one of the keen
est stag banquets held In Ebert in
a long time. The Shorthorn raisers
partook of a bountiful. FIVE course
feast served in the Buelah Hotel by
Mrs. Pierce last Tuesday evneing.
The affair proved to be a good follow
ship meeting for better Shorthorus
and the meal served was by no means
secondary.
AL Carnahan started the ball to
rolling with brief history of Short
horDs in the Divide section lie
was followed b.. nearly every breeder
present making a few remarks cor
corning the favorite breed of cattle.
Before the evening was over scarce
ly man was omitted from the gen
raj discussion of Shortho-ns that
followed. 1t was an occasion wo-th
while and the keen interest and goo
fellowship feeling that WAS evil
denced by the breeders was in har-
hoHy Win Tue pToBIers the EipeFt
County Sorthorn men are making.
Nearly two dozen men sat down
to the feed and those that were alb
sent certainly missed balanced
ration" 1t was the opinion of many
present that the banquet should be
made a regular occasion preceding
the sales.

Semi Annual
Shorthorn Sale.

The thirty-second semi annua.
sale of registered shorthorn cattle
took place at Ebert last Wednesday
in the new sale pavilion of The FL
bert County Shorthora Association
Thirty animals were sold. the ell
tire number that was brought in. yet
the prices were not as good as some
expected. IT is gratifying to know
that every animal sold. The aver
age price was $S6 compared to $50
for the last sale The stock in this
sale averaged quite a bit younger
than in the last spring sale and. be-
ing an. all cash sale, the breeders
feel that the sale was quite a sue
cess.
The financial conditions are at
their lowest ebe and a bright fu-
ture is in store for the breeders of
Shorthorn cattle.
The "Blue Ribbon" pig club of
Elbert showed their Durroc Jerseyf
and the boys. as well as the older
folks. were very much interested in
this new venture, Nearly $4,000 in
prizes were divided among the boys
and h lessons learned were quite
instructive
The pavilion W as packed to its
full capacity. The people of Ebert
are certainly good boosters for bet
ter live stock.
Many breeders interested in Short
horns from other parts of Colorado
we're visitors.

FIRE TAKES MILLIONS FROM
FARMERS YEARLY-COULD
BE PARTLY PREVENTED.

Farmers suffer millions of dollars
worth of losses every year by fire.
Statistics show that fires cost the
people of the United States sI,a16,-
375.s45 in the FIVE years prior to
1920. A large percent of these loss es
8 in the agricultural communities
and many of them could be prevented
The following suggestions from
John w. Sjogen of the college at
Fort Collins may aid the farmer In
preventing losses.
1. Lightning rods reduce the dang
er of fire caused by lightning to a
minimum.
2. If it is necessary to carry
matches by hired help or others. in
sist upon the use of metal match
Iafe.
9. Match holdes in the home
should be placed out of reach frcm
he younger members of the family
4. Smoking and striking matches
in and around the barns should not
5e allowed.
5. Be careful in starting fires with
kerosene. There is great danger in
ising kerosene in stoves that contain
live Goals.
6. Gasoline in open vessels is
dangerous around buildings. The
vapor from single pint will render
The air in AM ordinary sized room
explosive. Keep gasoline in closed
containers properly marked.
7. Be careful about burning rub
bish around the place. Fire is easily
carried by the wind.
s. Stoves should not be placed
100 close to walls or woodwork un-
IL, Clean the chimney regularly tu
hem.
8. The floor near stoves and fire
places, exposed to heat or the drop
ping of hot Goals. should be covered
with incombustible material.
10. Stove pipes should not pass
through wooden partitions without
insulators of some kind.
IL. Inspect the chimney for cracks.
II you find cracks, they should he
filed with cement mortar.
12. Clean the chimney regularity to
remove the SCOT and any other in
dammable material.
13. Do not put green hay or alfal-
ia in the barn, especially II 1t is
damp. 1t is subject to spontaneous
combuGtion.
IA. Steam traction engines used
around the barn should be equipped
with a spark errester.

What the Farmers
Union Is Doing.

The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union, which has been un-
der organization both here and at
Kiowa for some time. now has strong
organizations at both OF these points
a new Incorporation, The Elbert
formed by the two locals and about
$4,000 worth of stock has been sold
1t is the plan of the new incorpora-
tion to establish creamery both
house at this place in the very near
future.
Some of our merchants and busi-
ness men may think, perhaps, that
this new enterprise will interfere
with their businesss but we are not
inclind to think SO. The union is
not antagonistic to our local merch-
ants. The purpose of the union is to
eliminate the unnecessary middleman
and to secure a better price for the
farmers produce. The farmer can't
ant, and the local merchant can't
get along without the farmer. Both
should work in harmony one with
another.
1t is true. however. that should the
union establish a warehouse here. it
will handle coal. flour. salt. etc. but
on the other hand, the higher price
received for farm products through
organization will give the farmer a
greater purchasing power, and this
will in turn give the merchant a
ried by the union than at preset, as
the farmer must be prosperous II the
business man is going to be. You
cannot cripple the farmer without
crippling all other lines of business.
Again our local merchants may
profit though the increase in trade
caused by union men who have been
trading elsewhere. but who will come
to Elizabeth to get few things car
ried by the union and then go to the
other business houses to do their trad
ing in other lines.
Through harmony, much can be
obtained Elizabeth could reach out
and command big business and be-
come a prosperous. growing town Il
all will pull together. Let us ali get
behind the wheel of progress and
push. Boost. and your town boosts
with YOU. Knock, and you knock alone.

Mr. C. V. KonkeI,
Editor of the Tribune,
Elizabeth, Colo.
Dear Editor:
1 want to tell you of a little ex-
perience which | had with an eleva-
tor in Elbert County recently.
Having disposed of my beans at
this elevator, six sacks of my last
load contained the cleanup beans
around the machine. These six sacks
weighed $40 pounds. Having been
docked from five to twelve per cent
on my clean beans for dirt, they
wanted to dock me more than fifty
per cent on my dirty beans, which I
refused, and demanded that they be
cleaned After cleaning the dirt out
of the $40 pounds of dirty beans they
weighed 574 pounds for which re
ceived full pay.
II the scales worked the same on
all of my beans, l stood loss of
twelve hundred pounds.
Moral-weigh your beans before
delivery.
Sincerely yours.
