LITERARY NOTES

Sir Charles W. Dixie contributes to
the Cosmopolitan for February an ar
ticle on "The Naval Strength Of Ma
tions," which gives not only most
interesting and comprehensive ac-
count of the navies of the great
powers but also clear insight into
world politics. Few men possess such
knowledge s the authors, gained
from years of experience in diplo-
matte and political career. The ar
ticle is so broad in scope and straight
forward in treatment that it will be
read with interest, not alone by states
men, but by everyone whose thoughts
travel beyond the immediate wants Of
a single day.

LIQUID AIR

Those who waited last night for
the appearance of Prof. Edmond Pal
mer, we're certainly repaid. He is
most pleasing gentleman with a world
of dry humor. with which he intersper-
ses his experiments. The expert
ments were truly wonderful. The
liquid air, which looks very much like
water, but is lighter, is not wet, and
has an intense degree of cold, its boil
ing point being 3l2 degree below
zero. Potatoes, cranberries, onions
and beefsteak, dipped in it, we're
frozen as hard as rocks, and could be
broken with hammer; a rubber ball
was frozen so that when thrown
against the wall it broke like glass;
whiskey was frozen and alcohol made
into an icicle; mercury was frozen
into small square with which nails
were driven into board; it was b ed
on cake of ice; it was also shown to
have high combustible properties,
burning steel, cigars, hair-mat and
many other articles. and leaving no
trace or odor behind; it was also
shown to have greater explosive
qualities than dynamite, exploding
from ignition but not concussion.
There was vast array of truly mar
velous feats performed by Prof. Pal
mer. revelation to the scientific
man as well as the laity. At the

months dnration, of Uraemia.
The deceased was born in Crawford

NEW OIL COMPANY

A new company to operate in the
oil field in this county was recently
organized in Denver. It is composed
of Judge M. s. Bailey and Jas. 7
Locke, of this city; Lee Champion,
of Florence, and Harry Insley and
Bruce Glider, of Denver
They have secured 20-year lease
on the Walters ranch, consisting Of
ten acres; the Wasmuth and William
ranches to the south. Altogether
there are 800 acres in the kansac-
tion.

ton. If every church here had
brought as many people to Canon
proportionately our city would be con-
siderably larger.
Many people in the east are looking
westward. They may be coming for
health, wealth or the future pros
perity of their growing up family.
They want good climate, live com
munity, and they would naturally pre-
fer a church home. They are easily
influenced by their church paper or
church people. Pastors and church
people should consider this and see
if some little thing cannot be done to
add new member to their church
and new resident to the town.

How many papers can town af-
ford? Most people agree that three
are an abundance, yet stranger was
here recently figuring on another.
One or two or even three newspapers
may be of considerable benefit to
city, but it is just as certain that too
many are detrimental AS a rule
newspaper is just as good as the
business will justify. Denver has
four pretty good newspapers. If she
had six or eight it is pretty certain
that none of them would be worth
much. In small cities the same prin-
ciple is more emphasized. The same
sum of money spent on two news
papers would be of infinitely more
good to city than if divided up be-
tween three or four. This principle
was shown in a city down east of
here recently. The merchants got
together and arranged plan to get
two papers to consolidate. This left
two newspapers in the city. Then
the principal merchants pledged them
selves not to have any business deal
ings with any new paper that might
start. They held that two newspapers
could cover the field just as well as
three or four, and that to support
more than that was an unnecessary
drain upon them. The new man here
received very little encouragement,
as most Canon business men appreci-
ate enough when they have it. Canon
City has three newspapers and four
job Offices. Victor. which spends
probably ten times as much for news
paper space and printing. has but two
papers and two job Offices. Salida
and many other towns as big and
prosperous as Canon have only two.
and that is certainly enough.

The library site decided upon is
very good location. 1t is in the heart
Of the city, one block from Main
street. the postoffice, and the court
house. Some other corner locations
had good points in their favor, but
none were nearer the center of the
business city, and few inside lots
would have been 80 central. 1t is
natural that among hundred ladies
here should have been differences of
opinion. 1t is to be regretted how
aver that the contest was quite SO
spirited. But now that the location
s decided upon all should agree that
t is all right.

OIL EXPERT HERE

T H. Downs, an oil expert of Pu-

ing over the oil prospect. Mr..
Downs has travelled all over the coun-
try on business connected with the
production of oil, and what he does
not know about oil is not worth know

The official records show that the

Send YOUR paper east every chance
you get. 6 If your local paper writes
up new church, school house. the
building of the town, or any good
thing, get few copies and send them
east. Such course has two good
effects. 1t shows your commendation
of the efforts being made by the pa
per for the good of the town, and it
advertises the town wherever the pa-
pers are sent. While there are
devilsllaround the print shop, yet
most of the people are intensely hu-
man, and it is decidedly encouraging
to feel that something has been said
or done to bring several business
men in to get two or three extra
copies. The price is the smallest
part. 1t cuts little figure to either
the buyer or the paper, but the feel
ing that ones efforts are being appre-
ciated encourages and helps one to
do more.
An excellent article has appeared
in an eastern church paper descript-
i've of Canon City and its matchless
climate, over the signature of Rev. S.
R. Mclaughlin. The article is good
one and will be beneficial to Canon
Citv. 1t would be good thing if
every pastor in Canon would make
an effort to get some articles in his
church papers about Canon City.
Such advertising is of great value,
and would be of benefit to both church
and town.
This reminds US of the wonderful
growth of Rev. McLaughlin's church
the United Presbyterian. The
writer remembers that only a few
years ago about the first U P. brother
arrived in Canon. He came into the
RECORD Office and inserted a small
local requesting other people of his
faith to gather at his home with
view of getting acquainted, and later
of organizing a church. Very few
showed up. But in a year or so
few more had come. By another
year each family had brought out an
other family-that of a brother, sis
ter OF friend. A pastor was called
and the church grew. Now the
United Presbyterians have one of the
fine church buildings and one of the
most prosperous congregations in the
city. Ll

Congressional conventions down in
Kansas are being held this month.
It's long time until next election
eight or nine months-yet there are
some good points in favor of long
campaigns. Here in Colorado we do
things up more quickly, holding nomi-
mating conventions about four or five
weeks before election. 1t sometimes
occurs that a gang of wire-pullers
manipulate the convention. A new
and unknown man is put up and may
be pulled through successful cleo
tion without being really known to a
thousand people in the state. We
know too little about our state
government. How many can tell who
is our present congressman, secre-
tary of state, or the Republican NOM
inee for state treasurer last year?
People in Kansas know who is run.
ming for office, and they know great
deal about man before he is elected
or defeated.
A longer campaign would help to
force better nominations. Politicians
know that in four or six weeks very
little can be found out about man,
and any old thing with the proper
pull can he put on the ticket and
rushed through. If the campaign is
reasonably long people will learn
great deal about the men running for
Office. knowing this, the politicians
will not put up the candidates with
the weak spots. Stronger men
would be selected.
Down in Kansas the people guard
their political rights religiously. Each
section and each precinct has its
voice in the management of party af-
fairs. They do not leave such things
to be monopolized by the cities. So
much is this the case that a great
majority of the prominent men of
Kansas have come from the country
precincts or the small towns. In Colo
RADIO Denver exerts an overwhelming
influence in all things political.

The greatest treat we had last fall
In our neighborhood was taking a
bee tree" A neighbor had followed
the lead of the bees from buck
wheat field when in bloom, keeping
the trail for miles, until at length he
located the bees in dead chestnut
tree in a mountain rayine. The tree
was marked. and as soon as the wealth
er was cool we went one night by
moonlight and cut the tree. With
smoking rags we smothered the bees
and took the honey. For II feet the
tree was packed with honey. with an
average thickness of six inches much
of it candieI. We got 120 pounds of
honey and after filling three wooden
buckets we made bark baskets in
which to carry the rest of the comb.
We are now living on buckwheat
cakes and honey. with juicy. fresh
pork. chicken. turkey and game for
variety. The beauty of all these coun-
try recreations is that no coupon tick
cts are necessary, but admission Is
absolutely free-except to the circus.

hot beds by Feb. Is or March /, and
keep the bed at a temperature of so or

and make the surface mellow. Such
is the way, generally speaking, to grow
early cabDages. For late ones, would
sow the seed about the last of April
or first of May, in drills eight or ten
inches apart, and cover them fully one
inch deep. When the plants have
come up, they will naturally be
troubled more or less with the cabbage

vent it; therefore, would recommend
sowing over the bed air-slaclsed lime.

two applications will suffice. prefer

time to plant out after rain; If done
when the weather is dry, the roots
must be puddled and the plants
