freight cars.
"Some of the advantages to the
farmer are of special interest, and
these are well explained by President
Wilson of the American Engineering
Co., who says: the farmer will be able
to take his produce to town in good or
bad weather, in the busy season or the
slack, and can choose his market and
the time to sell. He can telephone his
orders to town for supplies, and re-
ceive them by parcel freight at his
door, instead of hauling long distances
over bad roads. He can visit hundred
miles from home and return within the
same day. He can turn his farm into
pasture, with the exception of few
acres, and make a good return pro-
ducing milk, garden truck and small
fruit, which the electric car will each
day take to ready market. The pro-
gressive farmer can, in short, keep in
close touch with the great world around
him, and enjoy the broadening influence
which always accompany more frequent
intercourse with the people at large.
This is always the result Of cheap and
convenient and rapid transportation.
"a vast industry in itself, the Inter-
urban wonderfully quickens and pro-
notes all other industries. The enor-
nous demands it makes upon the car
shops, steel mills, wire factories and
motor works are but small part of
the industry it creates. The untold
thousands who are afforded employ
ment as motormen, conductors, line
men, and Office attaches represent but
fragment of the labor to which it has
opened the way.
''The electric road has made all
markets more easily accessible. 1t
brings all classes of labor closer to-
gether; it develops tastes and wants
that people have never before known.
1t educates and not only carries people
to marts of trade, but makes them fre-
quent buyers. No populated section is
too remote for the Interurban to reach,
and bring into close communication
with trade centers. It builds up alike
communities, villages and cities, and
from no point of view is the Electric
Road to be despised.''

Part of the business which was instru

b. Harrison, personal representative
OF Mr.. Savage, hacker of the s.Dan
Patch line, was the collection of infor-
nation concerning Cresco and pictures
Of some of its points of interest for use
in an advertising folder of the new
line. Mr.. Harrison was especially de-
sirous of obtaining birds eye view of
the city and wanted Photographer
Reece to climb the stand pipe and take
one for him. Mr.. Reece declined the
job and told him he would not climb
the stand pipe for thousand dollars,
but Mr.. Harrison had set his heart on
that picture so he armed himself with
camera and made the climb himself
and was rewarded with getting an ele-
giant picture which will find a conspicu-
Gus place in the proposed folder.

The Denver Field and Farm claims
that $1,000 7people from other states
have taken up their residence in Colo
rado within the past year and, judging
from the number of newcomers who
have located in northeastern Colorado
during this time, we consider these fig
ircs none too large. Colorado is grow
ing rapidly and there is not n better O.
pening for home seeker anywhere
than our state is offering. In its vari-
ETY. OF industries it surpasses any Of tn,
wealthy states in the Mississippi OF
Missouri valleys giving to each new
'omcr wide range of industries to

The Holyoke merchants did the best
work on the decoration of store win
dows for Christmas this year that has
ever been done in our town. OF course
the new brick block of Leblanc &
Scheunemann and F. NJ. Smith has as
Inc display windows as the city store
buildings. Leblanc & Scheuneman In
heir largest window had Christmas
scene that very forcibly called to mind
childhood days at the old home. They
had good representation of homo
'eene with the old fireplace and the
'hildren's stockings Of all sizes hung up
~ it. On the floor in front Of the fire
place were scattered some children Is
I'D shoes and stockings as they are gen
orally thrown down by the children on
retiring. At one aide OF the fireplace
stood old Santa Claus ready to ill the
stockings. In the other end Of the
window stood very nea ly decorated
Christmas tree. This window attract
ed considerable attention. In another
window of this store stood the repre-
sentation Of u dwelling house and a.
round II full nedgcd snow storm was
raging. The snow was represented by
small tufts Of cotton strung on strings
and Mt little distance was very good
imitation Of u snow storm.

No other cause has contributed more
to the permanent prosperity of the
semi-arid region of the west than the
increased acreage of alfalfa. 1t has
changed radically all agricultural con-
ditions. Where there was despondency
and fear for the future, there is new
courage and abundant faith. 1t is a
better crop than wheat or corn because
it Is surer and more profitable. 1t will
grow on any land which will produce
corn or grass and under conditions
where corn woll be failure. Instead
of impoverishing land it enriches it.
With proper treatment there is no ten.
dency to run out as in the case of the
grasses. Under favorable condition.
and treatment the crop becomes better
year by year. Field and Farm.

HOME CURRENCY.

af
 A letter on the subject of Home Currency. by Oscar Bradford. of chi- cago. is published in today's Adver- tiser. The subject he discusses is of paramount importance at this time. It has been before Congress number of years and the conditions now existing have often been proph esied as the re- suit of existing laws. The Treasurer of the United States favors the propo- sition of allowing national banks to issue notes upon the basis named in Mr. Bradfords letter. Tn his recent speech before the Pennsylvania Bank ers' Association. United States Treas- ursr Charles H. Treat renewed his recommendation for an emergency note circulation by the national banks, this circulation to be based not upon the assets of the banks, but upon the se- curity of State and municipal bonds of the standard fixed in the savings bank laws of New York and Massachusetts. It is considered that such plan would involve no radical departure from the present system of note circulation in the United States. and that it would involve no question of the safety of the notes. A notable feature of Mir. Trsat's plan Is provision that such emergen- cy issues of notes be limited for defn- ite periods of five. six and nine rnonths. so as to provide for the certain con traction of the circulation as soon as the emergency which called the notes forth has passed.
 Mir. Treats plan probably will meet with the support of large numbers who are opposed to the idea of asset cur rency. and it would also meet the fa- vor of cities and municipalities as affording . new. market and standard for the securities. On the other hand |it will meet the opposition of the ad- vocates of central bank and . 'sei- entinc Currency.
