GOOD IDEA.

Denver, Dec. 23.-City officers
will not receive presents from
their employees this Christmas, if
the request of Mayor Speer is
complied with. Saturday, the fol-
lowing letter from the mayor
was posted in the hall:
81 request city employees not to
give or subscribe money to pur-
chase presents for other employees
or officials who receive higher sal
aries than themselves. | have no
objections to gifts being made to
employees who receive lower sal
aries than the givers.
"R. w. SPEER. Mayor.
"The practice Of employees ma
king up a purse with which to
purchase present for the head
of their department is'a bad one, y
said the mayor, in speaking of
the order. Il desire that the prac-
tice be abandoned this year, but,
of course, if the men getting high
er salaries wish to give those I'M

mild and effective remedy.

d Hllld ana effective remedy.
A farmer in an eastern county,
while IN generous frame of mind
gave his daughter hen and
rooster and bade her run away
and be a good girl, promising her
that If she would look after them
he would feed the increase for
four years. The girls, as it were,
planted those two chicks, and the
results, according to her fathers
report, is astonishing. He says
she has $64 in the bank and has
200 chickens which he had to feed
last winter. According to the
farmer best calculations, his
daughter will own the farm at the
end Of four years and will be
charging him rent for living on it.
Commercial Poultry claims that
geese come as near being all prof
as any stock raised on the farm.
They make their living largely on
grass and are practically self-sup-
porting, The do not require a
large parture field, but one that
produces a good yield. Add a lit.
tie grain occasionally and you will
have no trouble raising geese,
Ihey require water only for
drinking purposes, same as ii hen.
They are louise and mice proof,
are seldom subject to any kind of
disease and hawks seldom prey
upon the young goslings. Some
complain that a goose is nui-
sance; so are hogs if they are not
confined to their pasture. Large
numbers of geese should be raised
every year Try it and watch the
net profit.
Not every man can coax his
hens into laying forty-cents-a
dozen eggs during December, yet
the right kind of feed will certain
ly Start the hens to work and
they will likely keep busy during
the rest of the winter The thing
to do is to study the habits of the
hen and surround her with the
conditions of spring time, which is
the most prolific egg-laying sea
son. Notice the hens on the farm.
during the first warm days OF
spring. They usually have the
run of the yard and fields. They
gather up all sorts of grains greer
stuff and gravel. In fact, it takes
them only a few days to stock up
on egg material if they are al
lowed to run where they will. II
you want winter eggs, give the
fowls plenty of fresh air and eX-
erciSc Feed grain, grit, meat
scraps and green food. Grain
does not mean all corn; wheat is
much better. Some feed a mixed
ration of corn, wheat, barley and
bran, with clover or other green
stuff. Try for some of the forty
cent eggs.

LETTERS FROM
LUCAS AND CHASE

The force in Mr.. Darrow S Office
has received letter from Mr.. a.
l.. Chase, who is in Boston with
Elmer Lucas. Mr.. Chase writes
that after reaching the Hub city.
he and Elmer went out on the
street looking the town over and
undertook to shake hands with ev-
erybody they met, the same as
they do in Glenwood, but finally
gave up in despair because Of the
large number Of people they ran
across. Mr.. Chase adds that Ell
mer warned him not to associate
with any Of John l.. Sullivan S peo-
pie while in Boston, as it was H.
able to lead him astray.
Mr.. Chase has the same room III
the New England house that he
occupied As years ago. About
one-fourth of the people of Boston
hare afflicted with la grippe, ac-
cording to Mr.. Chase.
Mr.. Lucas writes Mr.. Darrow
that he visited his old home in
central Illinois. midway between
Springfield and Decatur. His IA
ther is still living in the old home
place. and there were twelve chill
dren in the family, all living but
one and all live near the old home
Elmer helped his brother husk
corn, milk the cows and do the
chores. Mr.. and Mrs. Lucas Wis
tied Memphis and called upon the
McPhillips and Gerber families
there. These families have spent
their summers at the Hotel Colo
RADIO for many years. Memphis
handles about 100000 bales OF
cotton annually-over $40, ,OO0.OOe
worth. Cotton is now selling at
from $55 to $75 per bale, depend
ing on the quality.
"It seems" states Mr.. Lucas IN
conclusion, "that the prohibition
wave has struck Massachusetts as
well as some of the southern
states.'

Special Meeting Of Directors
Of New Castle Portland
Cement Company
FOR A $4,000 PLANT

Denver capital has become
deeply interested in the property
of the New Castle Portland Ce-
ment company and special meet
ing of the directors and counsel
of the company is being held to-
day at New Castle for the purpose
of listening to the propositions OF
President Campbell of the Stock
yards bank of Denver.
Mr.. Campbell represents him
self and others in proposal to
advance the necessary funds with
which to construct an expensive
and up-to-date cement and plaster
mill, to cost at least $4,000 and
perhaps much larger sum.
Samples of the cement produced
by the temporary plant now OPP
Grated by the company were sent
to Denver and subjected to the
most rigid tests. The results
showed, it is stated, that the ce-
ment is the best produced in the
country.
William Cardnell and f. Me
Phee left Glenwood this morning
for New Castle to attend the meet
ing, and this afternoon Attorneys
Darrow and f. r. Taylor and .Jno.
p. Richardson drove there for the
same purpose.
Nearly all of the stockholders
and officers of the company are
Glenwood men, and they have ev-
cry reason to believe that they
will make fortunes out of the ce-
ment and plaster business. All
that is needed is sufficient capital
to build big plant. The market
is ready for the production and
all that can be produced can be
! sold at high figures without the
slightest difficulty.
Mr. Campbell passed through
Glenwood this morning to attend
the special meeting. He has
financed number of big money
making concerns.
Should his offer be accepted by
the cement company, a big. new
industry will have been estab-
lished on the western slope.

Kansas City Reforner Who
Has Enforced Sunday Clos
ing Declares Himself
MUST obey THE Law

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 23.-"It
is mistake to suppose that the
Sabbath is purely religious in
stitution and its enforced observ-
ance for the benefit Of the
church, stated Judge William II.
Wallace in an interview yester
day. The judge is credited with
having started the Sunday observ
ance movement that has become
widespread. AS result of his
campaign the county grand jury
has returned 1.10l indictments
against violators of the Sunday
law.
1.-The Sabbath was ordained be-
fore man had fallen or there was
a church." continued the judge.
"By divine example the Almighty
ordained it by resting from the
work of creation on the seventh
day, and He impressed forever up
on it its sacred character. by hal
lowing it. The Sabbath would be

Latent Intuition.

"IIence when we think logical

perceive how it is that a desire for
a day of rest is latent intuition

was right when, as one of the SUI
preme judges of California, he de-
clared that Sunday laws are en-
acted primarily for the protection
of labor. We cannot wonder,
therefore, that men who work for
wages in all the departments of
human industry are sending in
the unanimous endorsement Of the
labor unions to which they belong.
Nor should we wonder that ava
rice is turning its guns upon the
friends of Sunday observance. 1t

nav with more Of the wages that
have been paid the laborer than
on any other three days of the
week combined. The Sunday the
aters reap rich harvest and the
Sunday saloon is proof of this
fact. +"
In conclusion Judge Wallace
said: As to the progress of Sun
day closing, | can only state the
fact as to Kansas City. When the
grand jury was convened here in
September last, over 600 retail
groceries were open on Sunday.
Now they are closed. Every bar
ber shop in the city is closed, re-
tail merchants have closed, except
a few who observe some other day
as Sunday, as permitted by our
statutes. The 1000 places where
cigars and tobacco were formerly
sold are obeying the law, except
ing now and then clandestine
sale. Only three pool halls and
the theaters of the city defy the
law and two of the latter have re
Gently been closed. The credit
for this result is due largely to a

Early History of Baseball.
The early history of baseball has
been compiled by a comittee appoint
ed some time ago for that purpose
Henry e. Chadwick, often called the
father of baseball, Nicholas e.
Young, A. G. Mills, President Van
Colt of the New York Giants. and AL
bert J. Reach were some of the mem
bers of the committee.
The following facts concerning the
history of the national game were
gathered by the committees:
The game was started in New
York in 1912. The pioneers were
lot of gentlemen who met every
pleasant afternoon on the vacant lot
wherein the famous Madison Square
Garden now stands. The players
had no regular organization, but re-
lied on those present and willing to
make up the teams. These methods
continued until 1915. Then AleXan-
der J. Cartwright proposed that an
