TOO MUCH MONEY


Have you ever heard of RockhiiPs
greatest everbearer strawberry? Prob
ably not These plants are mighty
few and very expensive and the farm
ers who can AFFORD TO Duy handful
of them at the price quoted by Frank
E. Beatty, of Three Rivers, Michigan,
are as scarce as hens teeth. AS the
press story reads Mr. Beatty is presi
dent OF the kellogg company, is a ma
tionally known expert on strawberry
culture, and has recently paid $4,000
for single strawberry vine which
was bred by Harlow Rockhill, of Con-
rad. Iowa. Mr.. Beatty is quoted as
saying that he does not expect to.make
money from the sale of the new straw
berry vines, but he paid the 5000 In
this instance "as an incentive to grow
ers and breeders Of plants to develop
new varieties" He says. however, that
it is his belief that the new variety
will practically revolutionize straw
berry culture.
No, it isn't claimed that this prodigy

1t will produce fruit in the early sum
mer, rest short time during the heat
ed spell, it may be, and then begin all
over again and continue bearing until
frost kills the blossoms. There are a
number of "everbearing" strawberries
catalogued. The writer enjoyed few
dishes of strawberries from one OF
these varieties in September and early
October of this year, and the berries
were grown in Center township gar
den 1t seemed about then that "sum

cost of 37.5 cents per pound Of wool,

Why the difference?
BY way of explanation the extension
service says: Comparison of individ-
ual records shows that the five best
farms fed less hay, but that twice as
large part of this hay ration was
alfalfa, as in the case of the less sue
cessfud farms. Also, the best farms
that made a profit raised an average

Advanced Registry for Sows-
The editor of western farm journal
talks about an advanced registry for
sows, and gives his reasons therefor.
"Over in Indiana" he says. ''the live
stock breeders association has given
special prizes this past year for lit

of. age. OF course ton litters are a
freakish proposition, it being necessa-
ry to save about twelve pigs in the lit

the greatest possible speed. Just the
same, these Indiana people are on the
right track, for the one thing which
makes for economy of pork production
more than anything else, is the num-
Der Of pigs saved per litter at weaving

registry, to which would be eligible

nine or more pigs at weaving time
provided that at eight weeks of age
the pigs averaged at least forty pounds
in weight, and none of them weighed
less than thirty pounds. This would
discriminate against the exceedingly

twelve, for in such filters the weight
is rarely up to forty pounds at eigh

COLONIAL TEA A SUCCESS
ID. A. X. Nets Substantial Sum for the
Benefit of the City Library.

The Lamar Carnegie Library was
beautifully decorated with flags on
Washington's birthday, the occasion
being celebrated with colonial tea

the decorations there was consider
able display of articles of various
kinds that would familiarize the peo-
Pile with the customs and history of
the early days not only of the country
at large, but of Colorado and the Ar
kansas valley also AS this was the
first display of the kind the members
made no especial effort to gather these
articles, but confined them largely to
those possessed by the families of the
members. Only few extended back
to revolutionary days, but all pertain
ed to early day periods. There was
cane over two hundred years old,
New England Primer of old colonial
days, homespun linen,, quilts of most
beautiful old designs, garments hand
made of beautiful stitches and en-
broidery made before the days of sew
ing machines, old books and bibles

many other articles of novel design
and workmanship. The ladies served
both coffee and tea with waters. Mrs.
J. II. Larrick presided over the coffee
table, and Mrs. R. C. Goodale and Mrs.
ID. A. Mclean over the tea table. The
ladies were well patronized and the
library profited By their efficient work.
In addition many people attended and
were much interested in the displays
and it is expected that a more elabor-
ate display can be expected at some
future time. The efforts of this great
national organization to secure in
creased interest on the part Of our
people in the early history and GUS
toms Of the country and to secure lit
erature for libraries along that line is
work that will do more to revive

Virtue Has Its Own Reward.

A poor young man fell in love with
the daughter of rich lady who kept
a candy shop. The poor young man
could not marry the rich candy lady's
daughter because he had not money
enough to buy furniture. A wicked
man offered to give the young man
twenty-five dollars if he would become
a drunkard. The young man wanted
the money very much so he could
marry the rich candy lady's daughter,
but when he got to the saloon he
turned to the wicked man and said (:
81 will not become a drunl,ard even
for great riches. Get thee behind me,
satan" On his way home he found a
pocketbook containing million dol
lars in gold. Then the young lady
consented to marry him.
They had a beautiful wedding and
the next day they had twins. Thus
you see that Virtue has its own re-

FAMILY SKELETON REVEALED
Z. z. Taxpayer Apologies for Permit
ting the Public To Be Bored by
His Family's Skeleton.

Mr.. Editor
Every family is said to have care
fully guarded closet somewhere In
which is concealed n family skeleon-
and the Taxpayer family is no excep-
tion to this rule. However, we have
tried to keep it from bothering the
public heretofore during the % years
the family has lived in Lamar. My
brother, Adam Taxpayer, was born
less than half-wit-yes, less than half
of one per cent. The family have
kept him chained in the attic all these
years and during the % years he has
been in Lamar he has never seen
street or any lights except the candles
in his attic He has less acquaintance
with modern improvements than he
has with the Three R's-and he is not
even on speaking terms with them. In
fact the only thing modern about him
is his unfamiliarity with the Three RS.
One might even think from this that
he had been educated in the Lamar
public schools, conducted at an enorm-
Gus expense for the purpose of teach
ing the boys how 10 play football and
tell the parents now many surgical
operations can be performed on their
children without killing them. He
broke loose the other day and escaped
from the house. Naturally fellow
feeling drew him at once to the edi-
torial rooms of the Daily News where

course there would be no danger of
Lamar's Main street lights hurting the
eyes of one attuned to tallow candles
in an attic for 22 years, and of course
he does not feel the need of modern
conveniences. as all he has had to do
for % years is rattle his chain when
hungry and have his meals brought
to him. As the last public thorough
fare he ever saw was an eastern clay
road during a spell of freezing wealth

Million a Year Lost to Poultrymen.

Some hens lay fifteen eggs in n
year while others in the same flock
lay two hundred and fifty or more.
A hen must lay eighty-eight eggs in
a year to pay for her keep. The hens
in Colorado average ninety eggs in
year which proves that there are
more good hens than poor ones in
the state. According to the poultry
authorities at the Colorado Agricul-
tural College, the proportion of good
hens to poor ones is two to one. For
every two hens that are self-support-
ing, there is one star boardcr. There
are 100000 hens in this state. L.
100000 good ones and 10000 cL.is.
1t costs, on IN average, two dol
lars year to feed, house and care
for a hen. These 100000 Gull hens
must cost the farmers of Colorado
81 100000 year. Again our ag-
ricultural authorities, who have ex-
perimented with the production of
culls and have IN abundance of data
to back up their statements, say that
these Gull hens just pay for half their
keep. Therefore, we conclude that
if the culls could be disposed of our
farmers would save S5OO,OOO. They
would also have the cash which the
Gull hens would bring on the mar
ket. The Extension Department of
Colorado Agricultural College. Fort
Collins, will send information on
culling free of charge to any inquir-
er.

CONVICTS ATTEMPT

Play Shrewd Game to Make Getaway

Think Tanks Refuse to

Great excitement was created in this
part of the valley Sunday afternoon
when it was reported that three con-
victs had held up the train crew on
No. IL near Caddoa and made their
escape. After all rumors were boil
ed down it was found to be three
young men, who had escaped several
years ago from the Kansas reforma
tory; and after getting in trouble in
Utah with the result of two years in
the state pen there, were being taken
back to the Kansas institution to fin
ish their sentence. They had stopped
ir Pueblo on Saturday night and sue
ceeded in getting possession of some
pepper. All three were chained to-
gether when they boarded No. ~ Sun

others and Immediately threw the pep
per into the eyes of their guard. All

passengers too badly scared to inter
fere. they succeeded in taking his keys
and unlocking their chains. They
then took his revolver and cowed the
train crew. When the engineer fail
eG to stop on their signal they crawl
ed up on to the cars and along the
train till they reached his cab and
made him stop rear Caddoa and let
them off. The train ran down to the
Caddoa station and sent kilograms
along the line. The sheriffs at Las
Animas and Lamar Immediately or
ganized posses and started TO close in
on the men.
Thus far they had worked with skill
and intelligence, but right there all
their gray matter seemed to be ex-
hausted. One of the three, Cummings,
had once lived north of Las Animas
and they started for that locality in
the hopes of getting aid. They kept
near the travelled roads and were
easily located and in a short time
