FORGET YOURSELF.
No One Can Grow While H
Thoughts Are Self Conferred.

No One Can Grow While His
Thoughts Are Self Conferred.
Forget yourself You will never do
anything great until you do. Self con-
sciOusness IS a disease with many.
No matter what they do, they can new
er get away from themselves. They
become warped upon the subject of
self analysis, wondering how they
look, how they appear what others
will think of them and how they can
enhance their own interests. In other
words, every thought and every effort
seems to focus upon self; nothing radi-
ates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are. self centered. The sympathies of
the man who thinks only of himself
are soon dried up Self consciousness
acts as q paralysis to all expansion,
strangles enlargement, kills aspiration,
cripples executive ability The mind
which accomplishes things looks out,
not in; it is focused upon it's object.
not upon itself.
The immortal acts have been uncon
sciously performed. The greatest pray
ers have been the silent longings. the
secret yearnings of the heart, not those
which have been delivered facing a
critical audience The daily desire is
the perpetual prayer. the prayer that
is heard ana ansWereu.-Success.

CHINA MAY CALL THE BLUFF

Will this hard headed country
permit a belligerent general staff
to plunge it into a useless and a
disgraceful war? Perhaps not, but
perhaps it would. China's good ma
tured tolerance may be quite equal
to such a blunder. Senator Hale
declared in the senate chamber
recently that he believed it is the
purpose of the general staff to in
wade China. This would, Of course
mean war, for China willno longer
permit an armed expedition into
her territory to punish her own
people for some mob outrage for
which she could not justly be held
responsible. To avoid the blunder
and the crime of war, the ambi-
tious and pernicious activities of
the staff must be checked.
The righteousness of the entire
project is shown by the inadequate
plans made for the invasion. The
administration has said it will
send "an exceedingly large" force
to China-atl least Is, 900 to 10000
menl 1t has been estimated that
it will require two months to fit
out such an expedition, and a
month longer to put it on the shores
of China.
But experts admit that, if the
tChinese show fight-and they are
inow prepared to do some very pref
ty fighting the japanese say, and
they ought to know-a force of %
900 could not do more than main
tain itself on Chinese soil INIT
heavily reinforced. Now, it woulG
require six months to throw %,
more men into China, and thesv
would not be seasoned troops, bu
practi" anraw volunteers. TIL
tor us formed, after nin'
= Ladies, Lisld still be utterly in
adequate for the march on Peking
The Chinese capital would be de
Tended by an army fully as wei
trained and differed and equipped
and with three men to one, with ;
million more men behind the fir
ing line.
The whole thing is a farce, an(
an insulting one, of which thi
country should be ashamed.

GOOD BUSINESS WILL CONTINUE

On every hand it is said that
business is little better than it
ever has been, and the average
man will say that business is good
because the farmer is getting high
prices for his product, cotton, corn
and wheat. This is the true rea-
son, to very large extent, but in
our judgment, business is going to
stay good in the South for many
years to come. One fundamental
requisite for good business is de-
mand-demand for goods and fol
material, and one of the principal
things that makes demands is pop
ulation. Given an industrious,
rapidly increasing population and
your demand is bound to increase
also. That means more business
for manufacturers, for merchants
for farmers and for citizens of al
vocations. The South is going tC
enjoy this increase of population
for the next several decades in g
very large degree. People are
now coming to the South in large
numbers. It's opportunities, it:
healthful, mild and invigorating
climate and It's wonderful resources
are just beginning to be appreciat
ed in other parts of the country
and capital, too, is finding its way
in increasing sums to the South
All of this means that business &C
tivity is going steadily forward il
this section, and that the era o
prosperous times for the Southern
people should extend over a lon;
period of years.

Impressions Of the San luis
- q - GALLEY = =
GALLEY
.o..o..~..o"o"o.s.o"o.e

when came into Monte Vista and saw all the evil
dcnces of thrift and met many of her citizens
so intelligent and hospable and true and loyal to
their town. 1t produced upon the stranger tecl-
ing that you welcome in every sense One ot
the FIRST impressions receives upon looking
over the city is the absence Of the saloons. II APP
peals to the man of character that this is the ideal
place bring up his family. Intelligence. culture,
refinement and the true Western spirit is patent
to the observer.
Monte Vista is unfortunate in one respect in
not being upon Of the Tourist or Coast lines
of Railway Were this true, people travelling
through this most beautiful valley would so adver-
tise this Garden Spot of Colorado that il would
verify become a very bee hive of industry. As it
is think that in the near future that the investor
will see the advantages to be derived from these
most fertile lands: tina, this grea, valley will so de-
vcop that most real estate values will be enhanced
a, leas, 100 per cent and in many cases even more
than that and the introduction OF large planting OF
peas so that there can be rotation of crops and
diversified farming will do much To bring this
about and while am recently from lowa-onc Of
the richest farming states in the Union-yct find
that land here in the valley while much cheaper
as much wheat. oats. barley, potatoes, peas etc,
the boosted Iowa. OF course canno, be
ces>iully grown here owing to the shor, seasons
and cool nights. II the Illinois Iowa Indiana
and Missouri farmers could transport themselves
this delightful climate they would forge corn
raising for the raising OF crops with far less hard
work and more profit.
One of the curious sights to the "icndcrtoot"
is the great number of artesian wells constantly
flowing. furnishing large quantities OF most excel
lent water % per cent pure. The large herds OF
cattle, hogs. sheep and horses having an unlimited
supply both winter and summer withou, the aid OF
pumps. Hundreds and hundreds of hogs be-
ing fattcncd on peas and think in the near future
that Moa,e Vista and vicinity will be noted for the
excellence OF her pork il is conceded by all that
pea fed bacon is cxccllcd by no other in the world
We understand tina, the Missouri Pacific K r.
will soon build line through the valley and while
the Denver x Rio Grandc give good service
another railway travcrsing the valley is needed.
Monte Vista gets her coal supplies from Wascn-
burg very FAR away and whose mines noted
for the mos, cxccllcn, quality and almos, mex
hau>tiblc supply
Monte Vista and the valley is Justly proud of
her most excellent schools and churches. a
excellent quality o brick is being turned out from
their kiln> also very large Touring mill
vcrting their whca, into excellent quality
OF flour.
In conclusion would say to any that are look
ing for good schools. good churches good citizens
good climate, good water and mos, excellent soil
had better take irih to Monte Vista and they
viii find have no, said tru,hiully as much a.
might about this country.
