President Roosevelt has decided that

eision was reached after the presenta-

Stewart and Ex-senator Woleott. both Of
whom held lengthy conferences with him.
Congressman-at-large. franklin E.
Brooks and Congressman n. NJ. Hogg Of
the second district, will. therefore. have
in charge the distribution Of the federal
patronage in this state. They will no
doubt agree upon an equitable division Of
tho responsibility and thus things Of that
order will move along smoothly and with
out friction. The presidents decision is
based upon right and common sense and
therefore was wise one.-Fort Collins

The ean.aloupo growers Of the Arssn-
sAs valley have proved tho benefits Of
working through associations. Here IS
suggestion for tho utilization Of the asso-
eia,ion idea in tho handling Of another Of
tho valleys extensive crops. During
much Of tho present winter alfalfa hay
has been retailing in the Cripple Creek
dis,ris; for ss.25 par ton. Tho difference
between the price received by our farm
ors and the mountain price IS TOO great
There are too many commissions along
the limo which ought TO be eliminated.
that tho growers may get grsater pro-
portion Of what the hay costs tho Cripple
Greek consumer. An organization con-
trolling such an immense tonnage as an
Arkansas Valley Alfalfa Growers asso-
citation would be ablo to secure much
lower freight rates than small shippers.
II the alfalfa growers OF the valley will
form an association they can supply the
bulk Of tho hay used in Cripple Creek
and other mountain towns. giving con-
sumers cheaper hay than now and a. the
same time add largely to their own
profits. Thors's money in this suggestion

MISSION INVESTIGATE A
GRIEVANCE OF THE COUNTY

At the monthly meeting of the
Union Mission board last evening a
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the occasion for the failure of
that institution to cooperate with the
county authorities in caring for the
unfortunates rendered homeless by
the burning of the infirmary. The
committee today announced that the
county officials were justified in their
complaints; that the mission should
have been glad to have aided in that
and the result of the in
vestigation is the announcement that
the position of matron of the mission
will be vacant after next Monday.
The annual meeting of the mission is
to be held at the home next Sunday
at 3 o'clock, and all mem
bers and friends are invited to attend.

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet it
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something
over which you have no control it is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the other
hand, if within your control you have
only To act. When you have n cold
and fear an attack of pneumonia buy

Kodol does for the stomach that
which it is unable to do for itself,
even when but slightly disordered or
overloaded. Kodol supplies the nat
ural juices of digestion and does the
work of the stomach, relaxing the
nervous tension, while the inflamed
muscles of that organ are allowed to
rest and heal. Kodol digests what
you eat and enables the stomach and
digestive organs to transform all
food into rich, red blood.

Speaking of the change in trains in
this section of Colorado, the Denver
Times says: For number of years an
altogether wrong policy has been fol-
lowed by the Rio Grande with reference
to the San Juan region. Whoever has
been responsible for 1t seems to have
reasoned that the largest profit would
be obtained from the smallest possible
train service and the highest possible
charge for both freight and passengers.
On no other part of the system Is the
same policy followed and while it is
true that the Rio Grande has u mono
poly in the San Juan 1t is equally true
that liberal policy of encouragement
to travel and business would operate
as satisfactorily there as it does in
counties which are penetrated by com.
peting lines.
