optOmetrists. The only way
to prevent extinction is to
wear smoked goggles to keep
out the rays Of the sun, look
at green trees, grasses, etc.
We don't want to see these
blue-eyed blondes disappear
from the earth, so we have
made special arrangements
with ROE FULKERSON,
FRANK EDMONDS, ED.

heavy smoked goggles Of the
old-fashioned type for the
small sum Of so cents, worth

These goggles MUST be
worn during the daylight
hours. If possible each blue

Three train loads of sheep were

fact, Cimarron has been a busy place
this week. We have had freight trains
and passenger trains galore, all at
once, and Wednesday the big steam
shovel was unloaded here for work
Just above the Half Way house on the

Mexican beet workers went through,
going TO Montrose and Delta to work
in the beet fields this season. Mr..
John Etchevarry shipped a trainload
Of sheep to Cimarron Saturday.
The road men started to move the
steam shovel, but didn't get more than
quarter of mile out from Cimarron
when the coal gave out, and they had
to wait for a car to be shipped in.
This steam shovel, when working.
burns car of coal every ten days.

FLY-BY- MIGHT PROMOTERS
OFFERING HOG CONTRACTS

Agricultural College News-N Notes
a shrcwd scheme has been worked
in Eastern. States in selling hogs to
farmers. The salesman offers TO
sell brood SOW or gilt at $3.50 and
buy back the SOW and pigs AT $50
each. The note of the farmer is tax
en- for the $3.50 and Immediately dis
counted at local bank. The contract
is frequently not part Of the note,
and is hedged about by such limita-
tions that the promoter does not come
thru with his purchase.
Farmers should realize that there
are plenty of reputable live stock
breeders in the state who will sell
pure-bred gifts of good quality at q
lower price than this, and they will
make good on their guarantee.
Banks should take note of the fact
that in recent Colorado Supreme
Court decision farmers notes dis
counted in this manner for purchase
of stock in a certain company where
the bank had reasonable warning that
the scheme was more or less fraudu-
lent, releases the farmer from obliga-
tion on the note.
Both farmers and bankers should
let this kind of promotion proposition
alone, says George f. Morton, Pro-
fessor of Animal Husbandry of the
Colorado Agricultural College.
Another somewhat similar scheme is
that of poultry supply firm labelling
itself, State Poultry Association"
The salesman for this firm visits a
farmer and gives him the impression
that they are representatives of a
state poultry association. They dis
cuse his flock with him and eventually
get around to sell him poultry sup
plies. If he buys they give him a
membership card in the State Poul-
try Association" so-called, which en-
titles him to bulletins on poultry sub
jects- The evident purpose is tos Sc
cure the prestige of an association of
breeders (themselves) for purely
commercial proposition. This social
ed association is not composed OF
poultry breeders at all, but is a con.-
mercial firm making money out of
sales of poultry supplies.
