TO RANCH ON A LARGE SCALE

TO RANCH ON \ LARGE SCALE
Fat Snowberger has purchased the
Keith Burns ranch just east of the
City Reservoir, and will start opera
tions early in the spring, on large
scale. Fat will not discontinue his
business at the pool, hall, but as we
understand, has employed foreman
with a crew of expert farmers who
understand every detail in farming
operations. The crew is composed OI
Steve Fish, Foreman and General
Manager, Stub Farson, John Pearce,
John Taylor, Arthur Blanchard, and
Printer Smith. These men are all
honest workers and are not afraid
to earn their bread by little sweat
the crew together, Fat has arranged
for a fish pond and will stock it
with suckers, as the foreman says
they will require the least energy,
and will bite any day in the week. A
Tractor has been suggested by some
of the crew to do the field work but
so far, they have not been able to
find one that has seats enough to
accommodate more than or" MAJ.
Fat is very optimistic over his pros.
poets and anticipates adding a new
enterprise to his farming operations
that of skunks, skunk oil, furs,
perfume, etc. Taylor will have the
care of the skunks; Stub, to do the
catching; Pearce will extract, the
perfume; and Smith will do the
skinning. If Fat plans work out
according to his present figures, he
will soon be in the banking business.

JUST A HINT

1t wouldn't be a bad idea if our
school children, and High School
students as we'll, were given little
instruction regarding confiscating
the entire sidewalk when school
lets out Two abreast or even three,
would not be so bad, but row clear
across the walk sometimes compells
women to get off the walk or be run
over. We like to see the young peo-
pie have a good time and enjoy
themselves, but they should not be-
come so involved in their own con
versation that they can not see
other people on the walk.

IMPROVE YOUR FLOCK

They are still haying. 23O of those
Larson pullets layed ALSO eggs or
an average of is eggs per hen, which
were sold at an average of so cents
per dozen, and the hens were chare
ed 25 cts. each for their feed, leav'
ing so cents each to their credit for
the month of January.
Gregory has a few Cockerels that
are brothers to some of the best of
these pullets. Why not get some of
them and improve your flock.

PREPARING FOR SPRING

w. L. Spotswood is preparing for
business as soon as the fishing sea
son opens. He is knitting a minnow
sein of regular sein cord, to be eight
feet long when complete. Mr.. Spots
wood is as handy with the needles
as any woman, and is doing an eX,
cellent piece of work. 1t might be
well however, for the game warden
to keep an eye on him; he might add
on a foot or two. It's plenty stout
enough to hold big bass.

New Series Maxwell
Puts in Appearance

A new series of Maxwell motor cars.
representing some distinct and radical
departures in the construction and de-
sign of this make of automobile, was
announced yesterday with the receipt
in this city of the four new models.
They have been placed on exhibition
at the showroom of the MAXWELL Chal-
mers Distributing Corporation, 1908
Broadway Harry J. De Bear, president
of the local company, says the new
Maxwell is the best from standpoints
of serviceability, low costs and per
formance that the Maxwell Company
has ever produced.
Disc wheels, cord tires and drum
type lamps are regular equipment and
fittings, and details of construction arc
in strict keeping with the striking ap-
pearance Of the car. The car is lower,
without sacrifice of headroom. In all
four models-the touring, roadster,
sedan and coupe-careful considera-
ton has been given to the placing of
the steering wheel, pedals and control
levers, so that the car is extremely
easy to handle and driving comfort is
assured. A windshield wiper is stand
ard on all types. The windows are
mounted in rubber strips to insure
against rattle. There are numerous
other mechanical perfections.
