A MAN WHO BECAME
FAMOUS

Doctor r. v. Pierce, whose picture
appears above, was not only a success
full physician, but also a profound
student of the medicinal qualities of
Natures remedies, roots and herbs,
and by close observation of the meth
DDS used by the Indians, he discovered
their great remedial qualities, espe-
cially for weaknesses of women, and
after careful preparation succeeded in
giving to the world a remedy which
has been used by women with the best
results for half a century. DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is still in great
demand, while many other so called
"cure-alls' have come and gone. The
eason for its phenomenal success is
because of its absolute purity, and DR..
Pierce's high standing as an honored
citizen of Buffalo is a guarantee of all
that is claimed for the Favorite Pre-
scription as a regulator for the ills

SMALL GIRL IS
BITTEN BY RAT
TIE SNAKE

Little Dorothy Daggett, the small
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence
Daggett, was bitten by rattle-snake
just above the ankle last Sunday af-
ternoon, when the little girl, thinking
the snake was dead as it lay at the
northeast corner of the courthouse
park, playfully stepped on the snakes
tail. In an instant the reptile, which
was very much alive, struck at it's
victim, with the result that the girl
was bitten. Persons noticing the ac-
cident, Immediately rushed the girl
to the o. P. Wilson home across the
street, and DR.. F. G. Dutton was sum-
moned. Owing to the prompt arrival
of the doctor and the quick medical
aid, the bite did not prove serious, and
the little girl is recovering nicely. The
unusual appearance of rattle-snake
in the courthouse park here is thought
to have resulted from the snake hav-
ing escaped from the snake show
which exhibited here last week. How
ever, this is only supposition.

LARGE NUMBER
OF GROWERS ARE
SIGNING ACREAGE
Representative of the Mountain
States Beet Growers AssO-
citation Spends Week in
County Securing
Beet Contracts

Mr.. G. A. Peterson, sugar beet
grower of Greeley, and member of
the Mountain States Beet Growers
Association, has been in Sedgwick
county during the past week as rep
resentative Of the association. Mr..
Peterson's mission here ts- securing
sugar beet contracts for the 1924 beet
crop for the Mountain States Beet
Growers Association on the basis of
the socalled "50-50 contract which the
association will submit to the sugar
company. Mr.. Peterson informed the
editor of this paper Wednesday that
he had already secured large per-
centage of the acreage in this county,
and that the growers were practically
unanimous in giving their support to
the association. He further stated
that upon the completion of the can
vas of the growers within the next day
or so, that at least 80 per cent or bet
ter of the acreage in Sedgwick county
and adjacent territory would be sign
ed to the association.
Public sentiment in favor of the "5O-
SO contract" between the beet growers
of Colorado and the Great Western
Sugar company is growing rapidly as
people realize that the agreement is
absolutely fair, Governor William E.
Sweet told the farmers and business
men at 2 meeting in Brush yesterday.
IAs burden of proving that the So
30 contract is not just, rests entirely
with the sugar company" he said. "If
it could be proved that the company
cannot afford to make sugar at that
price, or if it could be proved that the
farmer is making fair profit on the
present basis, then only would the con-
tract be shown unfair. In view of the
figures we have, either of these con-
tentions would be absurd"
The figures referred to by Governor
Sweet were quoted by Joseph Passon-
neau, state director of markets. The
net earnings of the company during
four years were more than $500, 600
a year, based on the company's own
reports, said Mr.. Passonneau. "Their
total profits are more than the as
sessed valuation of all the irrigated
land in the Colorado counties which
raise beets."
Only the fact that farmers have
been willing to sign individual con-
tracts with the Great Western Sugar
Company has been responsible for the
losses that beet growers have suffer
ed in marketing their product, accord
ing to Mr. Passonneau.
"The beet growers have a monopoly
as far as beets are concerned" he
said. "It is true that you have to
sell them to the Great Western, but
look at it from the other point Of view
Where are they going to get their
beets if you grow beans or wheat in
stead of beets

CORN NLEADING
CROP THIS YEAR
in COLORADO

For the first time in Colorados his
tory corn this year will be the states
leading crop in point Of acreage and
may hold that position in total value.
For several years wheat has been
grown on q larger acreage than any
other Colorado crop, but this years
corn crop will be harvested from at
least 100000 acres more than the
wheat crop.
Reports of county assessors to the
StSte Immigration Department show
slightly more than 100000; acres
planted to corn last spring. On &C.
count Of weather conditions, however,
the acreage actually planted was con-
siderably larger than farmers thought
they would plant when they made their
reports to the assessors in April and
May, and the area actually planted to
the crop was close to 100000 acres.
The season was very favorable for
the production of corn, and though
the entire crop is not yet wholly out
Of danger from frost it appears that
practically all that was planted will
be harvested and the yield will un-
doubtedly be above the average. Not
all the crop is harvested for grain,
some of it being cut for silage, some
of it fed in the field and some cut
for forage, but the value of the pro-
duction will be high this year, regard
less of how the crop is harvested. On
the basis of grain production on the
entire acreage the yield should be
above 100000 bushels and should
be close to SIS, 100000 to growers.
A dozen years ago only little over
5000 acres of corn was grown an
nually in Colorado and many expert
enced farmers thought it would never
become a profitable crop here. This
year corn has been grown in So Of the
63 counties in Colorado, while two
counties. Washington and Yuma, have
produced about the same amount of
corn that was grown in the entire
state in 1909.
There has been a steady increase in
acreage of corn grown in Colorado for
a decade, but the very marked in
crease this year was due to two caus-
es. In the first place, considerable

THREE-DAY FAIR
CLOSED FRIDAY
Sedgwick County Fair Commit
tee Will Break Even in
Staging 1928 Fair;
Committees De-
serve Credit

The 1928 Sedgwick County Fair,
staged this year under the auspices Of
the Sedgwick County Fair Committee
composed Of members from various
sections Of the county, came to close
last Friday evening. The fair was a
big success in many respects. It is
thought that there will be a small bal
ance left after all bills are paid.
The program, while not of an elab-
crate nature, was pleasing and inter-
esting to the large crowds in attend
ance. The horse races, auto races,
novelty races, bucking Ford, foot bali
game, flag drill on horse back by the
Ovid Pig Club under the leadership of
Bert Miller, etc., created an abundance
of amusement, which met the
approval of the crowds. One pleasing
feature of the fair was the fact that
the crowds were good-natured ones,
there being no disorders and sheriff
Cunningham reports not single ar
rest made during fair week. The pro-
gram each day was interspersed with
splendid music furnished by the Holy
oke Concert Band, under the leader
ship of Prof. C. w. Bunch.
In the evenings concerts by the band,
entertainments by the Golden Eagle
Stock Co., the Hippodrome Thea
tire and the dances at loves hall pro-
vided amusement for the crowds up
town, nothing being held at the fair
grounds at night. The Golden Eagle
Co., with the ten shows, airpfane rid
ing device, ferris wheel, and numer-
ous other concessions closed y weeks
engagement here Saturday night. This
company, under the ownership and
management Of Mex Wagle, is a good
clean aggregation, and while not so
large as other carnival companies that
have visited here, is . above the aver
age travelling company, and gave en-
tire satisfaction.
The exhibits this year were far
ahead of last year, there being big
display of agricultural, livestock, wo-
mans department and educational ex-
hibits which were big credit to Sedg-
wick county. Great interest was man.
ifested in the exhibit departments and
much credit is due to the untiring ef-
forts of the various committees who
had this feature of the fair in charge.
A person visiting the exhibits was
agreeably surprised at the splendid
array of exhibits of various kinds. The
display of the Ovid Pig Club was es-
pecially noteworthy, as was many 9TH
er exhibits, space not permitting US
to enumerate them all. We expect to
publish the list of those who won
prizes for exhibits in an early issue of
the Grit-Advocate.
The Fair Committees in charge of
the fair this year are to be highly
complimented for their untiring eff
forts in the big undertaking of con-
ducting the fair. The citizens of Sedg-
wick county should thoroughly realize
that the county fair is big asset to
the county, and all should cooperate
to make it big annual event.
Let's commence right away making
plans for the 1924 Sedgwick County
Fair, and get away from the too often
habit of trying to put on fair in two
or three weeks time. Let our slogan
be-the biggest and best fair-in
