Save It, Young Man,
SAVE IT!
AN AMBITIOUS young man once asked the
late E H. Harriman how to be successful.
“Well, I’d take $5,000—, began Mr. Harriman.
"But I haven’t auy money”, interrupted the
young man.
“Haven’t *5,000? Then go out and save it,
young man, save it.”
Young man, you must build your own fortune
from the money you don’t spend. The rule is so
universal that exceptions don’t count. Come to
the Pank of Cheyenne W ells, even though you
have only ONE DOLLAR—this will start an ac
count for you.
Capital and Surplus $27,5000

Don’t Feed the Birds

your good seed as an extra course. If the birds
don’t get it they’ll never miss it—and you’ll prosper ;
in proportion to the amount of seed you save from I
the feathery tribe. I
Gran’dad used to go out and broadcast—furnish 5
wonderful banquets for all the birds in the country. ?
1 hose were sure the good old days—for the birds! But C
we know better today. We plant our seed with grain i
drills although some drills don’t do a much belter job >
than broadcasting—they still leave bxinquets for the birds £
because they either don't plant the seed deep enough r
or else don't cover it properly. >
Hoosier Drills plant the seed right—at exactly the >
right depth for early and healthy germination—and £
cover it so that wind or birds won’t get away with it. r
The Hoosier fluted force feed measures out the seed £
in exactly the right quantity. The spiral steel ribbon >
grain tubes conform to every motion of the boot without £
buckling or kinking. The shoes or disks cut a clean fur- r
row into the bottom of which the seed is dropped. In >
other words it gets into the ground and is sown uniformly. '

Cheyenne County
High School
Since school closed last spring the
County High School system has ex
panded so that it no longer is compos
ed of one school at the county seat,
but includes all the school here, which
will hereafter be known as the Central
school and four other branches—one
at Kit Carson and one at Arapahoe,
each to have four teachers the coming
y ar: and one at First View and one
at Wild Horse each to have one teach
er and all under the same manage
ment, viz:—that of the County High
School committee.
These branches will have very little
effect on the attendance at the Central
building in Cheyenne Wells. So far
as is known none of them will take
any pupils from the Central school
except Arapahoe, and that but very
few, about five. It seems that the
•Arapahoe school will have an enroll
ment of about vwenty-seven, Kit Curson
about forty, First View about ten and
Wild Horse about sixteen. Arapahoe
and Kit Carson having calls for the
first three years of High School work
and the other two having only one
teacher for the first years work. If
all the pupils come to the Central
building that should come, there will
be a Freshman class this year of about
twenty-five or thirty at this place.
It is expected.that a 1 the branches
will be opened on Tuesday, ,the fit!)
day of September, at their respective
school houses, but the Central school
at Cheyenne Wells cannot open until
the new building can be occupied,
which we think will be about the lilth
of September and hence that date is
the probable date of ojieningof school
here in the County Seut. However,
all students should watch the papers
for further announcements.
It seems as though a rooming de
partment at Cheyenne Wells, under
the management of the High School
cannot be run tills year owing to the
fact that uo building seems available,
hence it will t»e necessary for the
pupils to find rooms with the people
of the town as was largely done last
year. If those able to accommodate
pupils in this way will report the in
formation and price to me it will great
ly assist the pupils. The High School
is working to secure board at very
moderate rates to the pupils. Furth
er announcement of this will be made
at a later date.
W. E. Graves, Principal.
Notice To All Parties

company. You are hereby re
quested to call and settle your

To anyone wanting Kon
rad Wheat for seed
WE will have several
thousand bushels of
Kanrad wheat for sale from
August 20, to September 1,
and will make a price of 26
cents per bushel above the
market price, when
for sale as above dated.
Anyone leaving orders at
the Bank of Cheyenne Wells
or with N. C. Peterson, £t
First View, will be notified
when they can get it. We
believe that this variety of
wheat should be used for
seed for it has made wond
erful yields for those who
tried it this year. Last year
we paid a v> rv high price,
about $4 00 a bushel for our
seed, but are willing to sell
it at a reasonable price in
order that the best results
possible may be obtained in'
wheat raising in Cheyenne
county.
