Thomas Greer. through whom the

Former Lieutenant Governor Relates
His Experience.

! Ber:es planned for the Classical
course students Of the Agricultural
college, Ex-Governor Brush of Greeley,
their friends on Pioneer Life in the
West" Drawing truths of life from
anecdotes of the frontier, Mr. Brush
gave the students four maxims:
"First-I was offered dollar a
bushel for my corn crop in the early
days Of Iowa. l refused. and saw 1t
lie on the ground and rot. If you have
anything to sell and are offered fair
price for 1t, you will generally win by
selling 1t at once"
"Second-I have learned also from
my Iowa experience mortgaged prop
erty is only safe in prosperous times.
A farm covered with 'plasters' is
poor condition In times of financial
crisis.
"Third-be sure that you establish
credit and reputation for yourself in
business. 1t is the best asset you can
have.
"Fourth-When you do good deed,
it is not only for the present. but
lives in the future as well. Always
do something that will make the COM
munity better, that will live and build
it up"
Among the many interesting Incl.
dents of his part in building up the
West, Governor Brush told the fol
| lowing:
II left a good home in Ohio as n
young man in 1857, and finally landed
at Sioux City, Iowa. At that time
travelled thirty to forty miles before

where now are thick settlements and
splendid farms and homes. After help

human being and had many narrow
escapes in crossing the swollen
streams and in meeting hostile Indians

The speaker then told Of the dan
gers of pioneer life and related how
he was at one time pursued for 1if-
teen miles by three Indians. assuring
the students that it was no pleasant
experience. He closed with this trib-
ute to Colorado:

ants II the possibilities of invest
ments OF this character appeal to a
business man OF his experience. we
need no further proof that the opening

also reports that criticism of Mr.. Lee

near his proposed location. That is

In the mind makes us subject to crit

ANTARES, A RIVAL OF MARS

The planet Jupiter with its beautiful mark
ines and it's retinue of moons has been
for many months the brightest and most
interesting object in the evening sky. Three
months ago it shone out high up In the
south. but ever since it has been steadily
approaching the sun, and during the latter
part of June and the first week in July 1t
can only be seen for a few minutes after
sunset as it shines in the sunset glow low
down in the northwest. On July 10 1t Will
mass behind the sun and disappear from
the evening sky until next winter.
AS Jupiter sinks from view in the north
west the beautiful planet Mars begins to
appear in the southeast This planet, which
will at once be recognized by its red co'or,
is In more favorable position for observa-
ton during this month than it will be
again for more than a year. On July 6 it
will be exactly opposite to the sun, and
therefore exactly south at midnight. A
week later, on July 10, its nearest approach
to the earth will occur; its distance will
then be only 100000 miles, so that
at this time the polar cap and larger mark
ings may be seen in a telescope of only
moderate size.
