Given 10 Days for Driving While
Intoxicated.

Monday afternoon while a Buick
car, bearing New Hampshire regis
tration number, 1854, was passing
the corner near the home of M. w.
Parker, on the federal road, it would
appear that the speed was excessive,
and the result was two crippled
wheels on the outside of the curve
and a damaged top. Officer I. C. Bry-
ant of Newport happened to pass and
upon investigation decided to take
the two men to Newport on charge
of operating a motor vehicle while
under the influence of Intoxicating
liquor. It is reported that more Ii
quor was found than had been i'm
bibed by the two men.
The driver was tried in municipal
court Tuesday and fined 5000 and
sentenced to 10 days in Jail for being
convicted Of driving while intoxicat-
eed.

good things that the Red Cross has
done for the nation. Aside from
its splendid record during The War
and the fact that every ey'aeNlce

Cross has done in Prowers county.
During the Two years since October
1920, the Red Cross in Prcwcrst
county has cared for 5S6 families,
with needs OF various kinds. This
totals 1918 persons who have been

The following significant words
ifecent!y appeared in telesraphic
| report from Washington.
Until March 4. when Il @ life of
the 9th Congress expires, the adj
ADMINISTRATION will have the advan-
tagc OF overwhelming party major
/ itits in both houses to enact legis.
I lation 1t is no secret in Washing
tor that Pres. Harding intends that
4 ii possible, measures will be passed
10 remedy some Of the conditions
tint recently resulted in republican
! losses IN the election.
/ Chief of these would be relief for
the farmers. All of the returning
senators and representatives who
lost out on Nov. Z, make no secret
of th fact that a sulien and embit-
tered agricultural electorate voted
against them because they felt their
interests have not been properly
cared FOR Tile President will sub
NIT q suggestion for legislation
which will extend farm credits on
very extensive scale
This means that. ut last, the far
mer has made himself heard. Un-
able to get attendtion and relief in
any other way he has protested
at the ballot box. This was no
more Il lepudiation OF the Republi-
cans than Of the democrats 1t was
simply Il lepudiation OF the party
In power who had failed TO give
chem relief When state like
Nebraska gives a majority of 500O0
icr y democratic governor and a
1IGe0 majority for Il republican sem
ator one can hardly call the recent
election landslide party rebuke.
unless one means it Is rebuke
for both old parties and the awak-
enlng OF the Independent vote.
Other factors entered in but es-
sentialy the surprise of the elec-
tion was sprung throughout the
nation by the discomfort of the
farmer.
The manufacturer has had his
lobbyist and paid propaganda at
Washington to win him attention
through the tariff; the mines and
railroad workers and factory en-
ployees have had recourse to
strikes through their union to in
creaset heir wages. professional
people took advantage of war con
ditions to get increases that still
largely prevail. Bit the farmer.
with no effective cooperation or
union, and himself the victim
rather than the victor of war con
itions, has had no friend at court
TO advance his interests. The far
MGR has become the scapegOat and
burden bearer OF the war after
math.
Yet no industry is so essential
as agriculture We could do with
out mines ii we had to and burn |,
wood OF our forests as our fore !
fathers did: we could get along |

Here In Colorado we actually allow

farming regions have. The recent
appOrti0nmeat- amendment to ad-
just this condition was actually
voted down by the farmers them
selves under the mistaken notion
that it would increase our total
and thus raise taxes.
Miners Unions and Railroad unions
would have made no such a mis-
take. But farmers seem to lack
and cooperation and do
not appear to be SO amenable to
instruction and mass voting.

GOOD ADVICE IN REGARD
TO THE WIRE WORM

Mr.. Thayer wrote othe County
Agent relative to the wire worm
af,a received the following reply,
ahieh may he of interest to farmers
IN the dry lands
Dear Mr.. Thayer:
Replying to your inquiry on wire
worm injury to dry land wheat.
The dry land wire worm" usual
sly works in sod ground or ground
that has lain idle for several sea
sons. There is no known method
of treating seed grains to prevent
damage by this pest. The control
measures are cultural. seeding on
well cultivated ground, early piow-
ing of stubble ground and summer
fallow of newly broken sod.
On old ground free from weeds
reseeding at this time is reason
ably safe. however considerable
damage was done by the wire worm
last spring in field that had lain
idle for two seasons and then only
disced and seeded. A deep pldhxing
of this field would probably have
prevented damage.
There is enclosed circular letter
sent out to interested farmers.
I will be very glad to have any
Information on crop conditions or
insect damage that you may have
at any time. This county Is large
in area and the work ] have to do
is varied so that assistance is ap
preciated in enabling me to get
right on the ground at the start Of
any unusual menace to crops or
livestock.
