Another reader of The Democrat ventures an opinion regard ing that mysterious light in the sky over west. He thinks it is neither an airship or the reflection from the autos bound for the oasis at Goodland. The Democrat’s first view about its being the Diogenes of the Mt. Ayr Pilot out with his lantern searching for Purtelle’s electric railroad is nearly correct, except that the Pilot doesn't carry a lantern—the projection on his face furnishing the illumination.

John Priest of Lafayette, traveling passenger agent for the Monon, was here Wednesday morning to see what the chances were for getting a crowd from Rensselaer to attend “Be'n-Hur” at Lafayette next Wednesday night, the Monon to run a special train back after the show if a sufficient patronage could be had. He found only about 75 reservations had been made all along the line and concluded that it would not pay to run the special. Several of our people have signified their intention of going down • some night during the stand there, but they wll now have to remain over night. However, they can attend the matinee Wednesday afternoon and return on the evening train. Probably a number will take advantage of this. -

“STRONG” INDICATIONS AT NEWLAND.

T. M. Callahan, big chief of Newland, was in the city Thursday on business. Things are looking quite favorable up in the onion district this spring. Tom is expectng to put out 25 or 30 acres of onions himself and. Ed Oliver, with whom Tom divides the honors of office, is going to put out 60 acres. Other growers will put out smaller fields. Tom has sold 600 pounds of onion seed and it takes about four pounds to the acre, which would indicate a total acreage of about 150.

This year the growers are putting on from 400 to 700 pounds of fertilizer to the acre, which is more than double the amount ever used before, and much bigger crops are looked for. Last year the growers got 45 cents per bushel for their crop right from the field, the best price ever received, and there is good money in growing them at an even less price. Some fifteen carloads of onions were shipped from the district last year, a total of about 8,000 bushels. Quite an acreage of potatoes will also be put out, but not so large perhaps as last year. For last year’s potato crop 70 cents per bushel could have been had right from the field, but the early crop being an almost total failure, it was thought potatoes would be worth almost their weight in gold before spring, and the growers held on. But nearly everybody was fooled. The late crop in the potato growing states was immense, and the price went down more than half, and the Gifford growers sold this spring for about 50 cents per bushel.

IN 1959.

It was an aged pensioner who stopped me on the street; “See here,” he says, “my teeth are gone—it’s hard for me to eat; I lost ’em breakin’ hardtack—-’twas no job that I chose — In the year of nineteen ’leven, where the Rio Grande flows.

“My digestion was plumb ruined in that long and hard campaign: I et strawberry shortcake till all doct’rin’ was in vain; It was tough to be a soldier* you c’n take my word or no, In the year of nineteen ’leven, on the edge of Mexico.

“This arm of mine was injured—it has neyer been the same— A-writin’ endless postcards to the home folks —and I claim There never was campaignin’ that was half so rough on men As the row of nineteen ’leven, jest a follerin’ nineteen ten.”

It was an aged pensioner, wlxo wept the he talked, And limped like Rip Van Winkle when finally he walked; • For he’d injured both his ankles — they had rusted from disuse— In the war of nineteen leven, when the Diaz cinch came looee. —Denver Republican.
