PAINT NEEDED.

Why doesn't the> county commits
sioners, the Commercial club, the
W, C. T. q. or some other organiza-
tion start subscription to have the
old court house painted? 1t Is
nearly fifteen years since the place
was painted, inside or out, and at
that time the work was done for
nothing. 1t happened that couple
of brothers, James and Charles Earl
Of Evans, we're confined In the
s,unty jail for few weeks and the
time hung SO heavily upon their
hands that they finally made bar
gain with the county commissioners
that II the county would buy the
paint the two brothers would spread
it on. AS the two were good paint
ers the com missioners took them up
and the house was thoroughly re-
newed.
Now, II somebody can catch a
couple of painters and put them in
jail it is possible that the court
house may again be painted in the
same way.
The work really should be done, if
not as matter of economy then as
a matter of pride in the place. A
new court house would be about the
proper caper but we don't look for
that for some time, but new coat
of paint for the old building is
within reach Immediately.

TO BE IMPROVED
Windsor Resort Will Be Made
Up-to-Date

R. S. Baker and f. Whitehead,
two Denver capitalists, have pur-
chased the Windsor resort property
and were here last Saturday looking
over their new possession.
In an interview with the gentle
men they assured the writer that
steps would be taken at once to
beautify and improve the resort.
They contemplate laying out the
grounds In an artistic manner, set
ting out trees and shrubbery, put
ting a lire Of steel boats and gaso-
line launch on the lake and in vari-
GUS other ways add to the natural
attractions which the place now DOS
sesses.
1t was also stated that the co.
operation of the G. & S. railway was
being sought, and If this could be
secured excursions would be run to
Windsor at frequent intervals during
the summer.
1t is expected that the diminutiye
opera house on the property will be
enlarged and put in condition to ac.
commodate the show business of
Windsor for some time to come.

MorselS
BY J. Marvin Nichols

Same men have pinched their
Ysiws Of life.
Don't sell your ideals to the high
est bidder.
Sometimes leading "the simple
,tf.' makes US entirely too simple.
Go clean around the man that is
smaller than his dollars.
Nothing is so dead as dead IN
!atuation.
A cheerful idiot is better of than
i gloomy philosopher.
Scores of the enormously rich are
diving Of capital punishment.
No man has the right to judge the
arr of another unless he has the
same viewpoint. He must stand
within the range of the very motive
that inspired the act.
There is waste that enriches.
The sea is prodigal with her waves,
and vet no lustre from the star Is
lust. Not one drop is missing from
the tides. Our riches are held In
trust for others.
There are songs unsung to harp or
Lutte. The rythmic years of a loving
ministry work out a refrain that
shall be caught up by the choirs that
linger along the shoreless seas.
What an age this is. Everybody
straining for the ground floor; every
body pulling for advance informa-
tion; everybody trying to get a peep
behind the scenes.
In this day of frenzied rush draw
aside into the profound silences and
commune with your inner self a
while. \ faded pearl will regain its
freshness if dipped into the sea once
more.
1t may be true that. in union there
is strength. | have noticed in his
tory, however, that the ideas which
have changed the trend of national
destines were born in solitary brains.
No play is we'll staged unless it
ends beautifully. When the curtain
falls the last act in life's drama
ought to linger with the world like
the afterglow of sun long since
gone down.

More Railway Survey.

Because of the survey which the
Colorado & Southern is running from
Berthoud to point seven miles east
of Johnstown. indications are that
Johnstown will be looped by that
road with feeder that will supply
independent beet sugar factories in
Johnstown and Berthoud. Berthoud
claims to be sure of an independent
sugar factory, and it is said that the
capitalists who will build it are con-
templating the construction of a
factory at Johnstown.

SOME OF THE ISSUES.

The people of Greeley should not
be deceived in the alleged issues Of
the coming city election. There is
going to be fight made on the re-
election of the old board, for alleged
neglect of the council in not forcing
the completion of the new mountain
water system, when this has been a
physical impossibility, owing to con-
ditions on all tine railroads of the
northwest, over which neither the
Greeley city council nor the water
works contractors have any control.
The water works can be completed
The Greeley tribune., 1907-03-21

In a very few days, providing the
lumber for the pipe line can be had.
The Tribune believes that every
string that could be pulled to get the
lumber here has already been pulled
and that any change in the city
council could not in any way hurr!
up the matter. Long before new
council could get even fair under
standing OF the work the system
could be finished and the matter OF a
settlement with the contractors
would be up. Should the people
then. who have spent a large share
of their time the past two years IN
STUDYING the work and keeping tab
on every detail, be absent from the
council, anybody with fair judgment
would understand what time might
be had. There have probably been
but few days during the progress OF
the work that some things did not
have to be done in connection there
with that were never down in black
and white in the contract. There
we're conditions that had to be met
and threshed out between the con-
tractors and councilmen on the spot.
Does a new council want to go back
over the work of the past two years
and study it in every detail in order
to be competent to take up the mat
ter OF settlement? Any new coun-
Gilman who would not do that is not
a proper man to trust with so i'm
portant matter at this time.
The Tribune has confidence in the
old council as it stands today and
believes that every man upon it has
done his best for the city during
the past two years. 1t also believes
that the best interests of the city
will be conserved by re-electing the
old board, regardless Of personal feel
ing in the matter.
The Tribune also believes that
the cry that is being raised In some
quarters against the present board,
under cloak of the water works ques-
tion, has its source in far more per-
sonal and selfish grounds than in the
matter of public good or the greatest
good to the greatest number. There
Is bit of business rivalry and jeal-
ousy in the case; there is bit of
personal spite, and there is bit of
honest conviction in the matter,
that is entitled to respect, but the
real cause, when all the minor~aues-
tions are eliminated will be found in
that old bugbear, the Independent
telephone question. Almost to
man the people who would again
burden the city with a cheap make
shift of double telephone service
we're out last Saturday on behalf of
the independent ticket. They are
the people who secured the sigma
lures, and they were the people who
filed the ticket late that evening.
They are the people who want to
chastise the old city council for re-
fusing to again saddle the people
with worthless utility that would
bleed the business men of the town
of thousands of dollars annually.

the only ones seen in Uncle Sans
realm had been adjuncts to clrcuses.
When the experiment was first at
tempted there were many misgivings
as to what success would attend the
venture. 1t had been the accepted
opinion that the birds would not thrive
anywhere save in the Dark Continent.
This doubt has passed away, for not
a single one Of the farms IL loser,
and some are yielding considerable
profit.
Outside Of the first cost of the birds,
ostrich farming is not costly ven
ture. The food bill Is not big one,
and farm OF a couple Of hundred
acres is big enough to take care Of as
many birds as any farmer would want
to handle. The herds have to be kept
in Enclosures, sfor while many Of them
become tame, others never lose their
wildness and tendency to pugnacity.
The ostrich in this country Is feel
ing SO much at home that 1t Is more
than dream Of the future that nine
tenths of the plumes nodding over the
American wosnan's hat will some day
be the product of her own country.

MANS ACTIVITIES.

Agriculture Holds the Leading Place
Among Them.
At the annual banquet Of the Ameri-
Gus Club Of Pittsburg, in honor of the
birth of U. s. Grant. Secretary OF Agri-
culture James Wilson, Congressman
Grant Mouser of Ohio and Washington
Gardner of Michigan were the chief
speakers. Wilson spoke on "Agricul-
ture in Our Industries" He said In
part:
Agriculture Is a creative force
among our Industries. The result of
the farmers work Of 1905 was SO, 1884,
100000, an Increase of A per cent over
1906 $1,71S,000,OOO worth Of goods of
all kinds, and of this ~ per cent was
grown from farms and forests. AMI
mails and their products yielded $685.
100000, or 10 per cent, for export af-
ter supplying the home demand. Cot
ton and cotton products exported were
$4S1 100000, or % per cent; grain and
products sold abroad were $197 ,0OO,-
600, or Ills per cent; and $4,000. 600.
or 6.5 per cent, was miscellaneous farm
products.
Forest products are 7.5 per cent Of
our exports. We use tobacco extensive
ly and pay around 100000 for i'm
portations from Cuba and Sumatra,
Porto Rico, Mediterranean countries
and Brazilian ports. We raised Su-
matra wrappers last year to the extent
of 100000 worth. The department,
after discovering principles, conducts
object lessons on the farms of the peo-
pie to help them toward better things.
1--WE found in the Connecticut valley
and in Florida the same soil that grows
the wrapper tobacco In Sumatra, after
visiting that country and studying their
methods and soils. We found In Ala
bama and Texas the same soil that pro-
duces the filler tobacco in Cuba, after
learning what soil is suitable, and last
year raised 400 acres Of 1t in those
States. We hope in time to grow all
the tobacco now imported from Cuba
and Sumatra into the United States"

ORIGIN OF THE KISS.

It's Earliest Form--The Caress OF the
Ancient Indians.
At recent session of the American
Oriental Society Prof. Hopkins of Yale
read a paper on THE sniff Kiss In An
cient India" Reduced to Its founda-
ton, the paper was history of the kiss
as we know It. The learned Orieatalist
traced 1t from Its birth and proved that
the earliest peoples and earliest times
knew 1t not. That there might be no
mistake he labelled the kiss of to-day
1.-THE genuine kiss" and 1.-THE perfect
kiss"
Oddly enough, he finds that the genu-
Inc kiss was invented by woman. The
description Is given in the epic of an
Client India which treats of the science
of love.
"She laid her mouth on my mouth"
recites the poet, "and made a noise
which gave me pleasure"
THE early peoples" declared Prof.
Hopkins. "knew nothing OF the kiss In
any form. Had they known Of 1t they
would have told something Of 1t in the
mass Of records that has come down to
us. for surely an act which conveys
such pleasure could not have been for
gotten.
Even to this day there are races
that do not kiss. The Mongolians and
certain of the tribes In central Asia
do not osculate. and the Esquimaux. we
are told, employ the kiss only as a
prophylactlc.
''The earliest form Of the kiss is
that which we know as the sniff kiss.
This Is smelling. usually of the head.
The father Of newborn son shifted
his head that his days might be long
and that honors might come to him.
Returning from a journey, he shifted
the, heads Of his children In the same
manner.
"Gradually with this sniff kiss there
came also caress, touching usually
of the head. Gradually, also, the en-.
dearment came to be applied to others
than children. The rubbing of noses
which has persisted In some tribes, was
probably an intermediate process In the
evolution.
