The country store is one OF the
most valuable institutions of any
community. In the order of estab-
lishment 1t is first and in the degree
of social Importance 1t is second only
to the church and the school. In many
communities it is greater even than
these. 1t Is here that the members Of
the community meet and exchange
opinions, ideas and news. It is here
that most political questions are
threshed out and decided. 1t Is the
center Of the community and any
community without center Of this
sort loses its first organization with
out which progress Is impossible. 1t
is toward the local store that the

country store. The country store is
human. The mail order house is
bloodless and soulless. The country
store has at heart the interests of the
community. The mail order house has
no interests but It's own. In times Of
depression the country store gives
credit too liberal to be prompted by
mere purpose Of gain. The mail order
house demands cash with order. AS

SATURDAY. APRIL 20, 1907.

AS WILL BE seen by the letter on
the first page of this issue Governor
Buchtel has taken the initiatory steps
toward calling a conven tiou of the re
presentatives of the western states for
the purpose of discussing the public
land laws and making such recon-
mendations to the president and con-
gress as may be thought best. 1t will
be remem cred that when the governor
first considered this call a great many
papers said and others intimated that
the meeting was to be for the purpose
of fighting the forest reserves and the
grazing fee The Post man has talked
with a member of the committee
which called on the governor to in.
duce him to make this call, and he
states that these subjects were not
even mentioned at the meeting. This
but shows the way some papers jump
at conclusions for the purpose of boil
stering up cause which they under.

Attractive Window Display

A window display at The Pharmacy

past few days. From the large mum
ber of people that throng around the
place to view the instruction papers,

and phonograph records and cabinets
of the international Correspondence
Schools of Scranton, Pa, it is plainly
evident that instruction by CORES
pondence has made deep impression
upon the minds of the people of Glen

Some years ago teaching by cor

ticable but the 1. c. S. has proven
beyond doubt that it is not only
practicable but indispensable to the
man of limited means who wishes to
qualify for larger salary or change

qualified thousands to fill lucrative
positions and is at this very moment
qualifying thousands of others to
solve the success problem. If you are

BECAUSE of the light snowfall in
Colorado the past winter many predict
that there will be shortage of water
for irrigation purposes the coming

suspicion is not entirely justified, for
while the fall was in some places
slightly less than in other years, there
is not enough difference to warrant
any alarm over the matter The con
ditions at the beginning of the season
ae especially favorable, the ground
being thoroughly saturated with
moisture and it is almost certain that
with reasonable use of the water

there is no foundation whatever for

THE AGRICULTURAL papers of
the central states are devoting consid-
cradle time and space in figuring out
how the farmer can make one thou
sand dollars per acre ON an 80 acre
farm. Up to the present time they
have not succeeded in solving the
problem. nor does it seem probable
that they will. This question would
be easy of solution in the fertile West,
where 1t is common occurrence for a
farmer to realize from 1925 to $3.50 per
acre on sugar beets, potatoes or onions,
and where our horticulturists make
from 800 to 81, 900 per acre in sin
gle season on their peaches. There

that where the yellow journals flourish
there one may always look for trouble,
is worthy of more than passing notice.
The truth of this statement is patent
to all whose powers of observation
are at all alert. A powerful news
paper, if so inclined, can stir up more
trouble than all the peace conventions
in the world can patch up in year
The newspaper is powerful factor in
any community-powerful for good or
powerful for evil in accordance with
the disposition of its management.
