OLD TIMER RETURNS
TO aLENwooD


A few days ago Elwood Harlan of
Denver stopped in Glenwood for short
stay, and took the occasion to renew
the Acquaintance of some of the pion.
cers of this section, among them W. 9.
Parkson of The Pharmacy.
In 1856 Mr.. Harlan and Walter Cos
len, now known as the big sheep dealer
Of Grand Junction, conducted a meat
market at the corner of Grand avenue
and River Front, in the building after
wards occupied by John E. Eitel a. a
saloon, but now used as a cigar store
by Tom Howard. Mr.. Parkison con
Quoted little drug store in the ad-
joining building, and therefore became
very we'll acquainted with Mr.. Harlan
and his partner.
Mr.. Harlan is now employed by the
state highway commission and it is
probable that he may bring his family
over her and make this his headquar-
ters for the coming year..

CHRISTMAS IN a1.ENwoop.

The Christmas season of good cheer
radiated with the "Peace on Earth
Good Will Toward Men" spirit in Glen
wood, and proper observance of the day
was made in all the churches on Christ
mas We, appropriate services being held
in each Of the church buildings. The
children of the various Sunday schools
enjoyed the program prepared for them
and each of the entertainments was
pronounced very happy and appropri-
ate affair.
AT the Methodist church, following
the program, collection was taken for
the relief of the starving children of
the Far East after the Reverend Pep
per had explained the pressing need
of aid. This collection resulted in over
SAT being given from the congrega-
tion to the aid of this most worthy

GAMBLERS ADD
TO COUNTY FUNDS

Christmas Eve, when i've Grand Val.
10y citizens sat in the back room Of tha
Kerlee l. Miner pool hall at Graud
Valley, awaiting the arrival Of Santa
Claus, they never dreamed that the
good old saint whose business it 10 q
dispA glooa aAd seattsr suashins aal
good cheer would forsgo his visit aud
that they would Be 20 unfortunate Al
to receive a visit from Sheriff Fravest
instead.
As they passed away the tius thsy
thought they might as well mix up q
little in a game Of poker, by way Of
shortening, or seeming to shortsa, IN
otherwise long evening. Each fellow
felt confident Of his luck aud figured
that, in addition to having a good time
through this method of entertainment
(D he would just proceed to take all
the other four fellows to . financial
skinning.
But the best laid plans Of mice and
men gang aft aglee," and when Sheriff
Fravert entered the room and an
nounced that Santa CLAUS had been
somewhat delayed, but that he would
take charge of the doin g ifthe audience
didn't object, a look Of surprise and dis
appointment came over every face, and
well, the audience objected, but It
didn't do any good. Fravert ordered
every man to show his hand, and then
he quietly raked in the pot. He put
the five would-be gamblers under arrest,
charging them with violating the laws
of the state in regard to gambling, and
treated the two proprietors Of the place
in the same manner, accusing them Of
running . place Of gambling.
The men were cited to appear in the
district court Monday, which they did,
the Eve pleading guilty to the charge
of gambling, and each being fined by
Judge shumate @o5 and costs, which
each promptly paid, the two proprie-
tors, Walter Kerlee and Truman Miner,
entering pleas Of not guilty, and their
trial being set for the first day Of the
kscsh term.
Many complaints have been made to
the sheriff during the past year to ths
effect that the proprietors of this So
called pool hall permitted gambling and
various other law violations in their
place, but this is the first time the
officers have been able to "catch them
with the goods" which Mr.. Fravert
now believes has been done

Mrs. Boland and the children rushed
out into the snow, fearing the houss
would fall down. At the Wood, the
Wolverton, the Blackman, the Roby
and other nearby ranches the tremo,
was distinctly noticed, while at New
Castle it was felt palmer than any
where in this county. .a
The disturbance extended below Rifle,
and some say as far down the river as
Palisade, while it was noticed At the
West Elk Creek ranch and on the south
side of the Grand River in the Mamm
Creek country. 1t was also felt at
South Canon and at Cardiff, indicating
that the disturbance followed the coal
belt.
So far as Glenwood is concerned, We
have not found a1ysos in the q
noticed the tremor, although E. f.
Westhafer says he felt slight jxr
soon after he retired. At tho A. E.
Moore ranch west of town quite a ire
NOR was felt, and some people noticed
it at Cardiff. Later in the night, some
say about 8 A. NJ. Wednesday morning,
another quaver was felt by some, al
though apparently this was not as dis
tinct as the first one.

MARKET SLUMP Has COST
FARMERS EIGHT D1I.1Io1gn

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Thsrs are better
times ahead. The slump in condition.
has cost the farmers Of Amerisa six
billions Of dollars, according to tAs
accepted statistics, but they have swal-
lowed the pill and are straightenins y
and looking ahead.
This is the consensus Of opinion a.
pressed today at the convention Of tht
farmers marketing COMMITTEES Of ssvsn-
teen, representing many food producsrs
Of many states and hundreds Of thous.
ands Of farmers. ~
Chairman G. H. Gnstafson Of Lin.
coin, Neh., said that the loss sustained
by the farmers by the recent great d.
clines in prices meant that the purehas,
ing power Of e,5o0,ooo food prodsesra
had been cut to the minimum. How.
ever, they believe that the pendulum
has swung to the extrsme - far as the;
are concerned, and when other articles
reach the same basis upoa wAicA iced
products now rest the country will b
ready to 60 ahead on a firm basis.
Other members Of the committee cited
instances showing that merchants hai
suffered heavy losses because Of the n.
ability Of farmers to buy.
Some of the dslegstes were astoa-
ished when they had to pay 80 cents
for an order of corned beef and cab.

had produced and sold for about II

In some sections the advance has
been 30 extreme that at present prices
land has no chance to "pay itself off.''
In Iowa, for example, the boom that
shot some lands up to $500 ar acre and
more is deplored by many agricultural
experts. In most instances spectators
not actual farmers-reaped tho bene-
At.
The land was run up even ahead Of
commodity prices, which were then at
their peak, and now the drop in markets
has put the purchaser on the rocky
roads, especially if he happened to b.
a tenant buying on time. In the rich
est part Of TIE Illinois corn belt experts
last year were maintaining that land at
$500 would never "pay off" with y
reasonable return.
Returns Too Low. He Says.
''In some sections,'' Mr.. Meredith
says, "the net returns on the purchaso
price Of farm lands is considerably lea~
than the ordinary rate on first mort
cages and similar investments The
rental rate of cash leases also Is fro
qucntly less than half the rate of re-
turn on mortgages.
"Studies indicate that in certain se
g.0ns the recent advance In the price
Of land has still further aggravated this
condition. Such situation IL uafor-
tunate, for it increases the difficulties
of tenant who is seeking to become
an owner. If he borrows a consider
able part Of the purchase price of .
farm at to per cent, and thea AHds
the investment will earn little more
than per cent, 1t will be impossible
in many instances for him to diseAaege
the debt" ~.

FIRST AID FOR 1m oHouoHY.

1t was announced at last Thursday ,,
meeting that Miss Simmons, tho com.
munity nurse, was going to give ths
scouts few lessons in First Aid 10 thu
Injured, 50 ali the scouts are anxious
to be there at every meeting, becaass
we are not certain when she will be
with N.
We are also looking forward to the
time when we may have one or two cs
the city physicians present to give ua
Instructions en- the same subject.
Some Of the scouts volunteered ta
bring cabinet, in which to keep our
supplies. Later each patrol will have
a separate place to keep its sop.
plies. After we have it "down pat''
we will have first aid contests between
patrols.
At the meeting two weeks ago com,
mittee was appointed to make arrange
ments for Christmas program. They
went of to a separate room to discuss
matters. When they came back mis-
chievous look was on their faces. They
reported that everybody was to have
something to say as their names were
called at roll call, and If anyone failed
to respond the initiation committee
would take him in hand, and oh! what
howl they did let out, but it had to
be done.
At the next meeting only about two
thirds Of the scouts were there. Every.
one responded until the name of a scout
about fourteen or fifteen years of age
was called. He said that he didn It
know but about half of his reading.
"You had better come and say what
you KNOW said the Scout Master.
He walked up to the platform, pom.
dered while, and then said about two
words
"No, that amt right" he said
Then he started again, said about fiva
words, and finished with, "That's all /
know.p
We'll, that's pretty good half,
anyway"
But he barely missed the initiation.
Scout How many birthday $
may person havef"
A Bright Scout" They kin have Us
many according to how long they have
lived.o
We had to hand it to some Of the
scouts for decorating the place Of meet
ing. 1t certainly was pretty-a large
tree in one corner and an electric cord
from neighbor's house, and all was
beautiful.
A couple Of weeks ago we started q
good turn contest between patrols. At
the last meeting the score stood thus:
Patrol 1-18.
Patrol 2-10.
Patrol 3-S1.
Patrol E24.

Land Bought at Recent nish
Prices Likely to Fail to
PAY Itself Out
.DEpLoRED BY EXPERTS

CHICAGO, Dec. 27-Priee Of fasa
lands is q basic factor in tho twia
problems Of farm tenancy and cost q
production in agriculture. Inflated aers
values, due largely to speculation, soa-
bined with declining crop markets, have
put on the ragged edge many = tenant
who started to buy land at $500 Al
acre and upward while grain prices
were high. !.
Over capitalization, too, has had .
voracious appetite for "profts'' even
in normal years. In many regions aszs
prices have climbed more rapidly thaa
value Of products, and after the owner
has deducted from his gross returns s
or 8 per cent on the market price Of his
land "prodts'' have vanished. How
much of the going price of land should
figure - . cost Of production il ons
question to which the experts are turn.
ing searching inquiry.
Secretary Of Agriculture Meredith, N
his annual report just out, says that in
the last 1--WE years the selling price 4
farm land and improvements has IN
creased IS per cent. From March, 1919.
to March, 1920, alone the increase was
81 per cent.
