WATTLK8 ' iMIVi TO POTATO OOJfVKNTlOX ftFTY-TtfO CAR sri'DR siiilTMi FROM HAV KPRlNt.S Bay Springs News: There baa been fifty-two ear loads of spuds shipped out of Hay Springs lace the market opened and up to Saturday when the change in the weather and the shortage of cars put a damper on the business. There were, however, several loads came Jn Monday notwithstanding the bad weather. The shortage of cars has made some of the buyers hustle around for storage room. The Sheridan county potatoes are Of much better quality than last year and they are commanding the top Botch price In all cases where they are properly handled. Our buyers, however, are doing their best to get tbem to the market in the best of condition and with as little loss as possible. 85 cents to 1100 Is the market price at present. BX-CARN1VAL MEN MTHUBid CHADRON BVBIHISBS PHOPLK irging the sugar companies to as great a production next year as is possible. Scotts Blnff county seewa well sup plied with sngnr at the present time but Judging from the food adminis tration's recent ordera to restrict the sale of sugar to candy makers it ap pears that In some sectl ns of the United States a sugar famine Is im minent. Considering the shortage of vessels required to Import sugar to this country It would seem that the people of the United States are going to face the necessity of materially curtailing their normal consumption of sugar. In view of these possibili ties, Mr. Hoover Is requesting all sugar-producing sections to at least keep up past production and to in crease this next year If possible or consistent wtlh good farming methods. t'APTl'RKl) BAULK WKIUH8 TWKLYE POUNDS Chadron Chronicle: Hoggatt & Briggs, who have been conducting the old Maxwell garage for the past six weeks left for parts unknown sometime during Tuesday Bight, and they have disappeared "as the mist before the sun." They came to Chadron us floaters with the first carnival last summer and after work ing at various garages about the city for some days obtained a little credit and started in business for them aelves, first In the vulcanising sta tion, and later renting the Maxwell aUrage building. They Immediately proceeded to stretch their credit to the limit, obtained an automobile thought u demonstrator, partly on aomeone else's money and partly ona "tick, and presently tilings begun to happen. For some days they did flourishing business, but wrote Checks on the bank without ever de positing funds to meet them. Mut ters grew more complicated und one after another came their creditors for tires and other accessories- and sup plies and demanded payment, but with no avail. Being unable to col lect some $400 due it, und no other chance In sight, the First National Bank attached their entire Btock of tires Tuesday to protect themselves. Wednesday morning the doors to the garage were fodnd open, but neither Hoggatt nor Briggs showed up. Miss ing with them was u Maxwell car which they hud tuken in trade for another, which did not reully belong to them. As soon as the report of their sudden disappearance got noised about town a grand rush of creditors was made for the few remaining things of vulue, und within a few hours the place was utmost cleaned out und the chief of police put a lock on the door. In the meuntlme the elusive Hoggatt & Briggs are likely beaded for new and greener pastures with a fatter "roll" than when they blew In here. Lexington Clipper-Citizen: A. J. Betzer and Mr. Murphy bag ged a golden eagle near Buffulo on Sunday and brought it home alive. They shot the bird with small shot, which brought it to earth and they secured it after somewhat of a fight. It is now on exhibition in the win dow of H. J. Gunn's Implement Btore building, being securely kept In a large cage. The estimated weight of the bird is twelve pounds and it mea sures two inches more than six feet from tip to tip. It is considered a very fine specimen by those who seem to know about such things. Ml Mlll.lts SCOTTSBLt'FF COMPANY KX AMI NED 8t. 4 KSKPIL FAIR HELD AT MAHSI.AM) WEEK AU) Scottsbluff Star-Herald: Some 122 members of Company L of the Seventh regiment in this city have been examined by Dr. L. R. Jones .those failing to puss nverag- ing about the same as at the draft examination, the latter bringing out the fact that 25 out of every 100 men will in some manner be unable to fully qualify for the standard Bet down by Uncle Sam as constituting the raaterinl for a soldier. There are some sixty yet to be examined, due to their absence from the city or other reasons und this will be com pleted in time for the muster which Captain Smith thinks will be some time next week, ulthougn he hus re ceived nothing definite as to the date und this will probably come by tele gram when it does urrlve. There hus been no further orders received with reference to married men and their status since those given in this paper some ten days ago these orders being contained in a message from Governor Neville to discharge no married men fram any cause us yet. The intimution would naturally be that they were to be given consideration later, but there have been no word further In this mutter. Chadron Chronicle: The hustling little town of Mars land has conducted some good colt hows and community fairs during the past few years, but never have they held anything to quite equal the how staged there lust week. First of all, the attendance wus fur above what It had been in previous years and much more interest wus mani fested. Tlie entries also oet a new record in the suckling. curling, two-year-old and brood mure dusses. 6am s w j nli nik. who, while being an eflnicni couuiy commissioner, is also a i'ercheron horse breeder und judge ' of no in an reputution, presided us Junge, and dis so very ably.

The people of Mars land have every reason to feel proud Of their fair and colt show this year, the success of which will undoubted ly spur them on to prepare an even greater one for next year. BAYARD IS cmr OF SECOND CLASS Morrill County News, Bayard: Bayard is now a city of the second lass, and in this issue will be found an ordinance creating the three wards. The section in the southeast corner of Webster avenue and Chey enne street will be known as First; in the southwest corner of the same streets is the Second, and till north Is the Third. The city is now ready to assume all the obligations to be as sumed by a city of her rank. The chairman of the board is raised auto mntically to the office of mayor and the trustees are now designated coun cilmen. And to think that only one short year ago the present lively city of Bayard was only a little place of about f00 souls. At the present time there are in the neighborhood of something over 2,000 people making their homes in Bayard, and the ele meat now residing in the city is more of a permanent nature than at any time during the past year. The fac tory is Just about to open their cam paign, and the pay-roll is made up of men who must necessarily be profi cient to a certain degree, and this means a higher class. Theae men are neurly all married and this means much to a town. In the spring work will open up again in the building Une .and the increase in population next year will no doubt be nearly as much as in the past. Bayard has the territory und she is bound to grow No other town in the valli yc has as nngnt an outlook. wppllee ef Sheep and Lamb Rather Llmthea, Demand PalHy Active From Both Packers and Feeder Buyer and Pricee Qvetably Steady to a Grade Higher.
