Glenwood for few hours Wednes-
day night and Thursday morning, ar
rangements having been made with
the Hotel Glenwood for lodging and
breakfast. Thursday morning the
party secured burros and all enjoyed
a burro ride for couple of hours
about the town, going to several
nearby places of interest. Judg

started ont on burro back there was
no element of pleasure lacking. This
party is on its way to the Yellow

A Serious Accident

A tally ho party left Hotel Colorado
Wednesday morning for Carbondale,
Redstone and other points in charge
of George w. and George L. Young
who had as their guests FL. w. Lee, of
Pasadena, California, Mr.. and Mrs.
d. w. Tears MIR. and Mrs f. L.
Woodward and Mrs. Hepburn Walker
of Denver. AS the party was ap
preaching the Denver and Rio Grande
tracks at Il point about five miles be
low Carbondale one of the hind
wheels came off the axle causing the
coach to give lulch throwing Mr..
Tears to the ground with considerable
force. He landed on his feet but
was considerably Jared and having
only partially recovered from a recent
illness the sudden jolt affected him
more than it otherwise would have.
DR. Manchester of the Hotel Colorado
was Immediately notified of the occur
renee and left at once on Il special
engine and pullman After examin-
ing Mr.. Tears it was found he had
sustained no severe injuries there be
ing but one slight bruise which was
evidently made by striking against
some object The bruise caused Mr.
Tears only slight inconvenience. The
party returned to Glenwood on the
pullman,
Mr. Young, who was driving,
saved the team from severe damage.
As the wheel left the axle and the
coach tipped it caused the pole to be
separated from the coach and the
horses started TO run but Mr. Young
Jumped down, still holding the reins,
and for considerable distance it was
question whether he would be able
to control the horses but after Il few
moments he succeeded in throwing
one of them and they were easily con

very valuable one and the damages
very little. The coach was jacked up
and the wheel placed in position

Roosevelt a Winner

Congressman John Dalzell, of Penn
sylvania and wife are prominent vis
tors to Glenwcood Springs and are
prolonging their stay at the Colorado
to enjoy the beauties of the Rockies.
Mr.. DalZell is member of the
ways and means committee in the
lower house of congress and as such
is associated with the most prominent
and influential committee of that
body. In discussing the political
situation Mr.. Dalzell stated that "It
looks to me now as if Parker of New
York will be the nominee of the
democratic convention although / be
lieve there is possibility that George
b. Mcclellan of New York stands "A
good show of securing that honor
Whoever is nominated, though, can
not, in my opinion, be elected be
cause of the great popularity of Presi
dent Roosevelt. Roosevelt is a man
who is the peer of any wnom the dem
ocrats can nominate and his record i.
such as to bring to the administra-
tion the confidence of the public.
The people believe in Roosevelt and
will elect him
have been associated with Mr.
Mcclellan on the ways and means
committee for number of years and
he is fine fellow and is doing much
better as mayor of greater New York
than one would believe possible con
sidering the elements in the party
which he has to deal with.
Mr.. Dalzell when asked what he
thought of the situation in Colorado
stated that he was not at all posted on
conditions here and was not in posi-
tion to express an opinion. Il only
know of Colorado conditions by what
| read in the newspaper and. there
fore, am unable to discuss the situa-
tion

A Prosperous Section

One of the most prosperous sections
of the state of Colorado is the Eagle
river valley. The yield of alfalfa
all through the valley is expected to
be considerably larger than last year
aud the quality is better The plant
is growing tiner and the stalk is less
woody than is usually the case.
While alfalfa is still the principal
crop of this section a largely increased
acreage of potatoes has been planted
this year and the Indications point
to an exceptionally large crop in all
portions of the valley.
One feature of the potato raised
here is its keeping quality. This
is due to the fact that the tnber fully
natures before it is taken from the
ground An instance of this feature
of the potato crop is cited where one
ranchmnu marketed Il crop of about
>, 900 sacks and sorted ont only about
40 pounds of impelfe spuds and
this after April /. Some of the po-
tatoes from this field weighed as high
us four pounds each.
The center of this productive valley
is the pretty town of Eagle Here is
IA progressive community in every re
spect Everything about the town
indicates prosperity and one would
have to seek far to find Il community
where everything is so well kept as
in Eagle The residences are not at
all pletentious but ale Invariably
well built and conveniently arranged
and surrounded by well kept lawns
The streets are wide and well taken
care of. Eagle is the center to which
ranchmen fUr miles in all directions
come to trade and its business men
are able to supply the needs of their
customers in almost every particu.
lar so that but little trade goes to
outside points.
There are as yet hundreds of acres
of land, covered with sage brush and
rubber plant, that will be put under
ditch in the course of a few years,
although at the present time pretty
much all of the land upon which water
can be placed at comparatively small
expense, has been taken up.
The Post wishes to congratulate
Eagle upon its prosperity which has
been brought about by the untiring
energy of its citizens. 1t consratu-
lates it for having a wonderfully pro
ductive tributary section which state
too has been brought about by the un-
tiring efforts of the residents of the
county in developing the natural re-
source OF the country, the soil, and
placing water thereon.

Alcoholism Among the Nations.

A Paris correspondent OF the New York
Evening Post tells an interesting story
about alcoholism in France The average
consumption of alcohol at 100 degrees in
France in 1880 was six and three-quarter
htres to each inhabitant. 1t was then
drunk chiefly in the form Of wine. A htre
is little more than quart. The average
consumption in 1900 was l8 Is litres, half
in wine, fourth in beer or cider, and
fourth in spirits. As some districts IN
France are still reasonably abstemious, the
above the average, Normandy and Brittany
being especially drunken, and showing
very serious results from it. 1t is not that
the people get violently drunk, but that
they keep themselves constantly drugged
with alcohol, with ominous results IN the
form of disease and degeneracy. The av-
erage consumption of alcohol is estimated
to be thirteen and half litres in Swltzer-
land, about ten in Belgium, Italy and
Denmark, about nine in Germany, Eng
land and Austria, six in Holland, five in
the United States and two in Canada.
The poorer classes are most affected IN
France. The middle and higher classes, as
a rule, have intelligence enough to restrict
their potations. Other countries have been
as drunken as France and have reformed.
i
lowance to each inhabitant was twenty
three and half litres of pure alcohol:
Now it is five litres. Finland between 1850
and 1900 came down from twenty itres to
two. England, where there is special ef-
fort now to restrict the indulgence of the
drunken, has in twenty-five years reduced
her annual per capita allowance from ten
litres to nine. The great trouble at pres
ent in France seems to be that the Gov
ernment is not strong enough to restrict
the manufacture and sale Of liquors. Gov
ernment in France needs votes. There are
very nearly half a million wine shops in
France, and last year, in spite Of repress-
sive legislation, there were l,l37, 1923 pri-
vate distillers who made alcohol or brandy
from their own produce for their own use.
This enormous prevalence of private stills
seems appalling. Their number has in
creased seveafold since 1879. Government
not only needs the votes of distillers and
wine sellers, but the revenue from alcohol
is indispensable. So the problem is hard
one, but it must be solved, because to neg

him that l never drank beer or ale he had
disappeared in the bar room, but soon re-

Sharing Ourselves.

Jesus was always ready to give Himself
to others. While He often spent His
nights apart with God and had His hours
when He hid away from men, yet He went
among the people freely, and was a won:
derfuiH dispenser of cheer, comfort and
kindness. We should train ourselves to be
in the world as He was. We should not
sel6shly withhold our life from those who
need it. We should carry out to. others
the blessing and the good we get for our
selves in the quiet of our study or in tho
sweetness of our home fellowships. We
are to be dispensers of Gods good gifts:
What we receive and would keep Tor
ourselves onlv will not avail for good even
to US, for we really have only what we
give. Keeping for ourselves only IS los
ing Hence, no young person should be, a
recluse, shutting himself away from 9TH
ers, on the ground that he must devote
all his time to self improvement. He owes
debt to others which he can pay only
by going among others.
