coRPULENCE AND SANITY.
Gospel of Fat as Applied to the

Two Conditions Compared.

Are the majority of folk of weak

Matrimony VS.. Female 1abor.


One objection to trained female
labor, says the Medical Press and
CirculatOr, is that the service is
liable to be disOrganized by cpl
denies of matrimony among the
employees. Nurses are by no
means exempt from this weak
ness, and of late a disposition has
shown itself in certain hospitals
to discourage the admission of
young women who are engaged, >
on the ground that the fact of
their future being thus mOrtgaged

the opportunity to disqualify
themselves for the nursing profess
sion.

Around the world in three.

trip a cable message makes.
Since the laying Of the cable from
San Francisco to Manila complet.
ed the telegraphic circuit of the
earth, it became possible to meas.
ure by the ordinary method Of tel
egraphic longitude the arc across
the Pacific and hence to complete
the entire circle of the globe. OF
necessity this must be equivalent
to $50 degrees, or "a hours of time
and the interest lies in noting how
nearly the sum of the links which
go to make up the whole approxi.
mates to this total, and thus oh
tanning some indication of the de-
gree of accuracy which attaches
to such operations. There are
several routes across the eastern
hemisphere by which the ends of
the Pacfc cable might be Joined
and taking one direct route, via
Madras, it appears that the clos
ing error is less than a fifth of
second-that is to say, the sum of
the various links exceeds "a hours
by only ia second. Another in
teresting fact comes out. This Pa
citic cable consists of four sections
divided by transmitting stations |
at Honolulu, Midway island and |
Guam, the total length of cable |
being 1886 nautical miles. The |
time signal takes to traverse
this length, excluding that occu. |
pied by reading and passing or

Dead Since April.

Coroner Macy returned to Greeley
last Friday from Grover bringing
with him the remains of the young
man found dead on the plains up
near the Wyoming line. The re-
mains proved to be those of Homer
Ogden, a young sheep herder who
lost his life in blizzard last April
while tending the flocks of the An
thony Wilkinson Live Stock COM
pany. 1t was known that the herder
was lost in the storm but his body
could not be found at the time and
it was supposed to have been covered
with snow. This surmise also proved
to be correct.
Ogden came to Colorado from some
place in Illinois, and Mr.. Macy has
been trying to locate relatives of the
dead man.

TREES ON PRAIRIES
Should be Chosen for Timber and
Rapid Growth.

In the states of the middle west
there is pressing need of more trees,
both for wood and for Windbreaks
and shelterbelts. The need has
been felt since the prairies were first
settled, but tine attempts made to
supply it have, as a rule, fallen
short of the benefits which might
have been secured. The early
planting was done chiefly for the
sake of ornament or shade; the use
fulness of the species for wood was
seldom considered. In many cases,
also, trees were planted outside of
the range to which they were
adapted, and on soil and in locations
unfavorable to them. On the other
hand, many valuable species were
neglected.
Experience has now furnished the
basis for better practice. Various
kinds of trees can be grown in these
regions which will serve Just as we'll
for protection and ornament as those
which have been most used, and
which at the same time will furnish
valuable wood. For several years
the bureau Of forestry has been In
vestigating this subject, with results
which are recognized throughout the

He was the first man to plant a

he sent Throughout the state. In
order to prove his assertion that trees
other than cottonwood would grow
in this state he shipped two car
loads of maple and elm trees from
Rochester, n. Y. and planted them
in his orchard.
At the time of his death Mr..
Grimes was operating large nur-
sery at Boulevard f and West

He is survived by two brothers,
Oliver and William Grimes, the
former sheriff of FL Paso county, and
three sons and two daughters.

WYOMING TROUBLE
It Has an Echo Over in Weld
County.

A report comes from Basin, WyO.,
of law suit for the recovery OF
S26, 900 which involves Rev. ID. t.
Pullian, Baptist clergyman of
Loveand, Colo: r. A. Coburn, and
w. A. Culberson, prominent church
men of Carroll, Ia. and Rev. n. b..
Rairden of Omaha, is attracting at
tention all over Wyoming, and es-
pecially the northern part of the
state.
Briefly, the contention which will
soon be settled in the courts arises
from the following alleged facts on
the part of the plaintiff in the suit;
In 1908, he states, he went to
Omaha and, with one G.. f. Robert
son, a promoter in that city, orga-
nized the Hanover Canal company.
Its purpose was to reclaim under the
provisions of the Carey irrigation act
a large tract of valuable land be-
tween Thermopolis and Basin, lying
along both sides of the Big Horn
river. The enterprise was success
fully inaugurated and from its in
ception yielded lucrative financial
returns in the sales of water rights
to settlers under the canal. Later,
the plaintiff alleges, and is prepared
to prove 10y documentary evidence,
the said c. f. Robertson, with in
tent to defraud him of his just share
of the profits of the Hanover Canal
company, did, with the aid of the
gentlemen named above, organize
the Hanover Land & Irrigation com
pany, different corporation. where
by he was shut out and deprived OF
all his interests in a scheme of which
he was the chief promoter and
organizer. Wherefore he sues for
S26, 600.
The Hanover Canal country was
greatly poomed in Greeley about a
year and half ago, and.a consider
able number of Weld county people
bought land there. The land is said
TO be of excellent quality.
