And now II is cattle. Several hund-
red head OF cattle from the North
Park. Gunnison and Glenwood Springs
districts, were sold to Iowa feeders
last year. according to n. G. Kraschel,
auctioneer Of Harlan, Iowa, who paid
this city a visit Wednesday.
It is claimed by Mr.. Kraschel that
the range cattle OF Western Colorado
can be sold at premium on the
head were handled in two or three
centers OF Iowa, where his firm is con.
Quoting public sales. The plan is to
place good feeder cattle with the
feeders OF the corn belt The Iowa
farmer has found that by buying a
small herd Of feeder COWS in the fall
he is able to cash in" 10 better ad-
vantage than by selling Ms corn
through regular channels.
Another matter OF importance TO the
Iowa farmer is the fact that his corn
stalks, instead OF being wasted, go to
satisfy the hunger OF the feeder COWS
Mr.. Kraschel claims to have suffi.
cient quarters and competent men to
care for all the cattle for which they
contract Last year II is claimed.
through his method the growers re
ceived between IS and $40 per head

create sufficient competition TO make
the sales a success. They have meth

they want to double this amount and

II. w. Fairbanks, Of the live stock
division OF the State Agricultural Col

stated that he had investigated this
method and that from his investiEa-

Colorado cattle. but from Wyoming

the method was sound. and one which
could be developed TO bring the live

SOMETHING
FOR THE YOUNG
MARRIED MAN,
(And Some of Those Not SO YOung)
TO THINK ABOUT

You wonder about lot of the men you know
-well-educated men, with good minds and
sound bodies Woodworking chaps who appear
to have everything that ordinarily sends a
man ahead in the wOrld-but who, in spite of
all in their favor, are not getting along in
anything except age. Just marking time,
working tremendously to provide the bare
necessities of life for their families, but never
achieving beyond that point
Now, opportunity comes, and comes more than
once, to every man, no matter how deep in the
rut he is. If he fails to seize it, nine time out
of ten it is because he is afraid to take
chance-nOt afraid for himself but for those
dependent on him. He is afraid to give up
the security of his rut for the uncertainty of
the new venture He will expose himself to
hardship but not his wife and the children.
He wants to be sure of enough money to buy
food and clOthing-Gnd to pay the rent.
That's the pOint To pay the remit Have
you ever stopped to realize what the owner
ship of his home means to a man in confidence
alone? Don't you know that the ownership
of his hOme the knowledge that no power on
earth can force his family from under it's
roof, gives man the opportunity to. swing,
makes him free to take his opportunities
to go ahead? Any man who owns his home
will confirm the will tell you that the home
he bought was the best investment he ever
made, not only in living comfort but in per-
sOnal confidence and increased civic spirit.
Shannon and Luchs, Inc, believes this. We
take delight in selling home to young
married man-in selling him home that will
save him money and earn for him the only
mental attitude with which he can go ahead
We have listed the best offerings in the local
market-we shall be glad to tell you about
them, and to give you the full benefit of our
eighteen yeaxS' experience.
If you will just phone Main 2345 and ask for
