The farm is to be home as well
as place of business, hence 1t is
better to wait years until just the
right place is found, reflects the
American Cultivator. The SOL should
be fertile, enduring, workable early
in the spring and adapted to produc-
ing a large variety of crops. Sandy
soils are attractive at first sight, be-
ing level and easily worked, but must
be constantly fed with fertilizers in
order to keep up the fertility. 1t sell
dom contains one-tenth part plant
food of clay. Rock soil sometimes
looks cheap by the acre, but 1t must
he bought from three TO FIVE times for
before it can be put into shape for
modern machinery. The best land is
fairly free from stones, mixture OF
clay and sand that will not bake nor
leach. that dries off quickly and
warns up early in the spring. 1t will
be good grass soil, good for grain
and farm crops and usually adapted
to fruit. The top soil should be at
least a foot deep.

Disreputable business conduct, dis
reputable methods, associations, con-
nivances and excavations are not
nearly as disgraceful as they ought
to be, thinks Life. If charity must
forever be stretching itself to cover
the misdeeds of directors, there won't
be enough of it left to cover fair
proportion of the common sins OF
common people. There isn't enough
charity to go around, anyhow. We do
heartily wish the great army of d.
rectors and big men would moderate
their demands on what there is OF 1t.
They can't reasonably expect to get
far more than their share of the easy
money, and then monopolize the ex-
tenuating circumstances besides.

President Roosevelt has taken ac-
ton to ell the boycott of American
goods in China by directing a more
lenient administration of the Chinese
exclusion law. Through the depart
ment of commerce and labor he has
given instructions to the immigration
officials to enforce the law without
harshness. All laborers, skilled and
unskilled, will be refused admission,
but all exempted classes-merchants
teachers. students, travellers and off
cials-wilI be shown the widest and

no unnecessary inconvenience and an

After an exhaustive investigation
covering a period of several months,
Joseph L. Bristow, special Panama
railroad commissioner, has submitted
to the secretary of war his report on
trade conditions as affected by the
isthmian railway and its connections
with certain steamship companies.
The commissioner finds there is good
ground for the complaints concerning
the restrictions of commerce that we're
made possible by the mOnopolistic
combination between the railroad com
pany and steamship companies under
the domination of the transcontinental
railroad lines prior to the taking over Of
the Panama property by the United
States government.

A contribution the other day brought
the total of conscience money received
by the government above 100000. In
1911 an account was opened by the
register of the treasury to show from
time to time the receipts of moneys by
the government from unknown persons.
This account is popularity called the
conscience fund" but it is not SO
styled on the books of the Treasury
Department In fact, there is no con
science fund Nhe moneys so receiv-
ed are cOvereu D the general treas
ury as miscellaneous receipts, and may
be used, like other assets of the treas
ury, for any purpose that Congress;
may deem proper Remittances are re-
ceived almost weekly-occasiOnally
there are two or three contributions a
week-and, as a rule, the letters are
not signed. Frequently they are for
warded by clergymen at the request
of penitents AS nearly all the COM
munications are anonymous acknowl-
edgments are made through the press.

1t has lately come out that presi-
dent Roosevelt nit, a good while ago,
giving autograph photographs of him
self to the Gathers of large families. A
husky Pittsburg man wrote to him,
some time ago, announcing the arrival
of his 18th child, though he had been
married only 20 years There is no
record or any mention of the good time
his wife had taking care of so many
children. There was no mention as to
whether the progeny had been well
raised or merely allowed to roll on the
groun. with the farm animals. Not
promptly receiving an answer, the
proud father wrote again, and then
learned that the President pays no at
tention to such letters.

KEEP YOUR MONEY.

The United States Home Build
ing Association Of Denver is more
or less OF fraud, and selling its con-
tracts in most cases under false pre-
lenses. If the public bites, it is in a
fair way to get bilked. You stand
about one chance in ten thousand OF
getting a loan from them. This as
sociation is now working in Greeley.
The Tribune states unqualitedly that
they are rascals who are misrepresent-
ing the persons who take their con-
tracts, and it dares the present preci-
GUS trio or any other representative OF
the concern to bring suit against 1t
for libel and push it to conclusion.
What these fellows most desire is
not publicity, but to be let alone.

AN EAST SIDE PARK.

Why not? Greeley is growing,
how fast few persons know, unless
they have occasion to 60 all over the
town frequently. When it will stop
nobody can predict. Croakers thought
three years ago that we were over
building but there are few vacant
houses in the city today, though
more than 800 new houses have been
built in the last four years. There
should at this time be secured site
on the east side for park. The
people over there are entitled to 1T,
and should have it. The streets will
be graded in that part of town next,
and the greatest growth of the city
will be in that direction and towards
the normal for several years to
come. The hill folks have the nor
NAL grounds to feast their eyes upon,
and park east of the tracks is now
a crying need. Let it come.

A Spirit of Improvement.

Never has Greeley looked prettier
than this summer. The spirit OF
improvement is in the air and the
love of a beautiful home town is
contagious. More parking has been
done on private lot fronts this year
than in previous years all told.
With the best graded lot of city
streets of any city of similar size in
the west. it will be but few years
until every home garden is bank of
bloom. With the waste lot along
the C. & S. tracks near the depot
made into a thing of beauty, as it
is to be done by the Tribune and
others, and a park on the east side,
added to the beautiful normal
grounds, Lincoln park and Manager
Granger's flower garden at the sugar
factory, there will be almost no
more beautiful town for its sizes in
the United States than Greeley.

Guilty Or Not Guilty.

A war veteran in the customs service
told this: In 1864 some one stole horse
blankets from the troops stationed at
Fort Wadsworth and sold them to an
1rishman who lived in the vicinity.
When they were traced and he was ar
rested the judge said, 'Why did you
steal these blankets:' "Oi daidn't steal

FLESH EATING BIRDS.
iu<y Find Their Prey by Sight, Not
by Sense of Smell.

Gtudy of the habits of flesh eating
birds shows that if they possess the
sense of smell at all it is not sutti-
ciently acute to enable them to use ii
in finding food.
All observers are agreed that when
carcass is hidden by never so slight
a screen il Is safe from the attacks of
vultures and other carrion seekers,
but the most remarkable proof of the
lnetfectiveness of the sense Gf it exist
at alb is afforded by experiences which
Dr. Guillemard WIS good enough to re-
late to ne. Many times it has hap
pened, he tells me, that, having shot Il
wild beast or other game, which was
too heavy to carry home he has dis
emboweled it and hidden the carcass in
the hole Of an 'ant bear"
On returning with natives to carry II
to camp he has found Il circle of yul-
lures standing round the spot where
the offal had been thrown, completely
unaware of the carcass within n few
yards of their beaks. OF observations
proving the possession of the sense
know none unless we are willing to
accept as evidence the belief which is
very general among fanciers that birds
are attached TO the smell Of anlse and
the similar belief of gamekeepers in
some parts of the country that they
are attracted by valcrian. 1t is said
that pigeons may be prevented from
desertinS the dovecot by smear!ng
their boxes with oil of anise. Poach-
ers are supposed to lure hen pheasants

The EDITOR WAS IN
Wrathy Homebuiiders Get Gay
at Tribune Office

The Tribune has had occasion once
or twice before to grill bunch OF
grafters calling themselves the
United States Home Building AS
sociation OF Denver, that has made
Greeley several calls in the past,
promising loans, some time, on most
any sort of terms, or promising TO
buy homes for their patrons. and al
low purchasers to pay off on them in
such small monthly payments and at
such low rates of interest that were
the offer genuine, with no strings on
it, ten million dollars could be
placed in Colorado inside of thirty
days. AS matter of fact they are
a choice lot of swindlers, If not
legally, certainly in intent, and the
loans they promise only come up like
the lucky lottery ticket, just often
enough to keep suckers coming their
way. They prey principally on those
who can least afford to lose their
money. Last week they visited
Greeley again, and the Tribune gave
them dozen lines Of roast. Tues
day morning the lot, two men and a
woman, called at the Tribune through
blind appointment made over the
phone, and asked the manager of the
Tribune if their company was the
one referred to in the article in last
weeks paper. On being told that
such was the case one Of the men be-
gan to get saucy, and after being
asked to leave the office and refus
ing, was put out. No blood was
spilled, and only little hair rum
pied, along with few tempers, but
these grafters can't work Greeley
without being shown up. if we have
to import whole typographical
union to help out. Nothing
would suit the Tribune better than
to have these frauds bring libel
suit against it. Then the truth
about their thieving concern will
come out.

THE MILK OF THE AGED.
Honey In the Olden Days Was
Thought to ProlonG Life.

Honey has been known from the
earliest times. The Scriptures make
mention of it, and pagan writers cele-
brated its virtues. 1t was called the
milk Of the aged" and was thought TO
prolong life Honey was also used in
the embalming of the body after death.
This food. as useful as it is delicious,
was esteemed most highly by the
Greeks, who celebrated its virtues
fame of Attic honey has been trans
mitted unimpaired to our own day.
Used in all kinds of pastry, cake and
ragouts, it was also esteemed as a
sauce. Pythagoras in the latter part
Of his life was vegetarian and lived
wholly on bread and honey, a diet
which he recommended to his disciples.
And this gentle philosopher reached
the ripe age of ninety years before he
departed from life.
The true source from which honey
is derived was only discovered In later
years. Virgil supposed that its de-
licious sweetness fell from heaven up
on flowers in the shape of gentle, in
visible dew, a belief which he shared
with Pliny and even Galen. 1t was
left to modern observers to study with
enthusiasm plant life and bee life and
learn from them some of the most wOn-
derful lessons of nature.
Honey was often served by the an
clients at the beginning Of banquet in
order that the uncloyed Dalate might
enjoy to the full its exquisite favor.

There was sort of ''parlor smell

to the fact that the room was kept shut

or used to be, the only room that didn't
