District Judge Morley of Denver
told the grand jury in session there
that it was their duty to indict any no
matter how exalted or humble, found
guilty of infractions of the prohibition
law. There's one thing sure. there is
not much use in trying to enforce this
law until we have officers to whom all
Violations look alike.-Rico Item.

The High school basket ball teams
returned Sunday from trip to Durango
and Fort Lewis. While they suffered
defeat at both places they were loud in
their praise of the treatment they
received. Durango met them at the
train with cars and dined and enter
tanned in royal style. On account of
the bad roads Fort Lewis had to meet
them with wagons but the players
thoroughly enjoyed the trip from
Hesperus to the school and back again.
Here again they were shown the best.
The score at Durango was girls s to 80
in favor of Durango, our girls losing
themselves on the big floor. The boys,
however, after the first quarter located
themselves, and just at this time the
Durango coach, in order to make the
game more even put in part of his
second team, but he soon saw his
mistake and at the end of the half put
the first team in their places. Our
boys were getting on fine with them
until Nyquist sprained his ankle and as
there was no one that could take his
place he had to stay in the game. The
final score was % to 16 in favor of
Durango. The score at Fort Lewis
was girls 9 to S in favor of Fort Lewis,
and boys IA to in favor of Fort Lewis.
Here again Nyquist had to play on
one leg.

Food For Reflection.

Farmers need only to reflect on
the difference between prices they
are receiving now and a year ago to
appreciate that their business has
made marked improvement.
Wheat is now selling in Chicago
ut $3.50 and a year ago it was 81.
Corn is being sold above S1,15 and
was then worth only SIS cents. Oats
is quoted near fifty cents and twelve
months ago it was less than forty.
Rye was then sc cents and now it is
bringing above 81 a bushel.
Wool is selling for more than it
did year ago and hogs have been
selling around S12 compared with 50
at this time last year. Cattle and
sheep are slightly lower than quota
tons a year ago and hay continues
to bring as good prices as in the fall
Of 1923.
Butter is slightly lower, but eggs
are dearer than they were q year ago
and lard is distinctly higher
And best of all, for the farmers as
wen as those who do not depend upon
the products of the soil for a living,
the cost of living is no higher than it
was last October.
