Hotels and Boarding Houses OF
Colorado.

The eastern man who has never
been to Colorado can form no idea
of the size and luxury of its princi-
pal hotels-particular those at
Denver, Colorado Springs, Manitou
and Glenwood.
They are palaces; splendidly
furnished, comforta BILE, convenient
ly arranged, and managed with the
one idea of satisfying guests. If
Colorado had no other attractions
than its hotels, it would be worth
visiting. But it has other attrac-
tions-the purest air, the bluest sky,
and the most brilliant sunshine in
the world. A hundred thousand peo-
pie go there every summer. Not all
OF them stay at high-priced hotels.
BY far the larger proportion of the
men and women who spend their
vacations in Colorado live in board
ing houses, lodges" or under can
vas, paying ST, SIS, SO or $40 a week.
The Rock Island System issues a
little folder which contains list of
hotels and boarding houses in
Colorado-capacity, rates, etc. 1t
also gives detailed information
about the low rates to Colorado
now in effect.
The Rock Island System operates
two fast and finely equipped trains,
daily, to Colorado Springs and
Denver.
Tickets, berths and full informal
ton at any Rock Island ticket office

We are indebted to the "Botna
Valley News" published at Mace
donia, Iowa, for a complete
description of the dedicatory exer-
cises of the new NJ. E. church held
there last Sunday. Much praise is
bestowed upon the pastor, Rev. r
Y. +. Chambers, for his untiring
interest in the church of which he
has been pastor since 1900, and that
his work has been duly appreciated
is attested by the following resolu-
tons adopted by the Board Satur-
day morning, August 18th.
"WHEREAs: Rev. r. G. F. Cham
bers has for the past three years
served the NJ. E. congregation at
this place as pastor, and
WHEREAS: During his admins.
tration the church building has

increased, the attendance on the
various services has constantly
grown, now therefore be it

AStepping Stone to Wealth
Annual Incomes One Thousand to
Twenty Thousand Dollars.
Splendid Business Opportunities
for Ambitious Young Men
and Women.

The Cedar Rapids (Iowa> Business
College has published a booklet under
the above title. This booklet is unique
IN IT'S way, and different from ANYTHING
IN printed pamphlet ever issued by
business training school,.
II may be considered an endorsement
of strength that large number of sue
cesstui young men and women OF America,
whose annual earnings range from $1,000
to $4,000 each, give full credit to the
Cedar Rapids Business College for train
ing them for their positions. 1t is indeed
amazing to find that this school, as noted
as it is for completeness and thorough
ness, has been able to take young men
and women from small towns and farms
where they could earn less than fifty
dollars month, train them for from
twelve TO fifteen months, and place them
in positinns where, after few short years
they are earning from one to twenty
thousand dollars year.
Such is the record of the Cedar Rapids
Business College as disclosed by the
letters from pupils which are pub.
lished in the little booklet above referred
to, and accompanied by photographs of
the writers.
Probably no similar school in America
can show such an array of successful stu
dents in such varied lines of employment,
If viewed from their annual incomes.
For the encouragement Of ambitious
young men and women, Mr.. A. N. Palmer,
President Of the school, states that during
the more than twenty years he has been
the official head of the Cedar Rapids
Business College, there never before have
been so many opportunities for placing
the graduates In good positions.
AMI. Palmer will be pleased to send a
cupy Of the booklet above referred to,
70 any Interested person.

Crop Bulletin.
For week ending Aug. 24tl

Des Moines, Iowa
The week was warm and dry, the
records of the Central Station show
ing daily excess of five degrees in
temperature. Conditions were all
that could be desired for ripening
early planted corn, but late planted
fields in many localities were too
dry for best results. AS whole
the crop has made good progress.
In response to circular, special
reports have been received g to
the probable length OF time requir-
ed under normal conditions to
place corn beyond danger of harm
by killing frost. Reports show an
unusually variable condition of the
crop as to stage of growth and pros
pective output. Even in the same
districts and adjoining counties
marked difference are in evidence.
For the whole state about 40 per
cent was planted early and made a
fair start; and this portion of the
crop on an average may be safe by
September 10th to Goth. A portion
of the later planted, possibly 20 per
cent of the whole area, may be fair
ly matured by September 3Oth.
With favorable weather till Octo-
Der 10th we may reasonably expect
to harvest sound corn in three
fourths of the area planted and not
abandoned to the weeds. The out
put from this area will range from
light to good. With a benign and
frostless period through Septem-
Der and a little beyond, the total
yield for the state may equal the
crop of 1901.

All Extra and the south part of
the county will be interested in the
ladies horse race on Thursday at
the county fair next week. Extra
Viii have about four ladies in the
contest and there should be a
liberal support given them. They
are all skilled riders and have good
horses and are reasonably sure of
winning. Let our people go on that
DAY and cheer them on to victory.
Several in the north part of the
county will also be in the contest.
Extra always leads and should in
this contest of speed and skill.
