| With a FaithIess Assistant. e.

A story is told in Milwaukee con-
corning an elderly German who con-
Quoted a good sized manufacturing
plant on the south side. He had IN
engineer ut his factory who had been
with him for fifteen years and the old
gentleman had implicit confidence IN
him. 1t was with profound shock
that he discovered finally that the
trusted engineer was grating most
shamefully.
The proprietor thought it all over for
I long while and then sent for the en-
Eineer. When that functionary arriv-
ed the following dialogue took place:
"Ah, John! Good morning. John. How
long hat you been working by this

twenty-five dollars week"
"M-m-m. Veil, after today it will be
R6 week more.'
The engineer thanked d employer
profusely and withdrew. y week later
the old gentleman sent for him again,
and the same conversation ensued.
ending with another IS week raise.
The third Saturday he sent for the
engineer again, aud after the same
questions and answers he raised his
salary another IS a week.
On the fourth Saturday the engineer
was again summoned before the boss.
GLOW long have you been working
here, John?" asked the proprietor.
'F9fteen years." replied the engineer,
who by this time had grown to expect
the weekly question and salary raise
as a regular thing.
"And how much wages are you get
ting?"
'Forty dollars a week."
Zach, SO? Veil, you are fred"
''Fired" exclaimed the engineer, al
most fainting. "Why, you have been
raising my salary SIS at clip for the
last three weeks"
''Sure I have" roared the Teutonic
boss, all his indignation faring out at
once. "And the reason that I did it
vas that it shall make 1t harder for
you for When I fire you, you loafer!'-

Rare Opportunities Here.

Opportunities such as exist in no
other state In the Union. The man
who tills the soil for living has only
to take the latest yearbook issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture and read therein the story OF
Colorado's greatness as an agricul-
tural state. The yield an acre OF
grains in Colorado, according to I'm
Gle Sans own iigures-which almost
everybody is willing to accepts
greater than in any other state in the
Union. The yield of sugar beets is
greater. the yield OK alfalfa is greater.
the yield OF potatoes is greater than
in other states. Colorado fruits and
vegetables command the highest prices
in the markets of the world. Colo
RADIO is stiIi the greatest metal pro-
ducing state in the Union. Colorado
is destined TO become one Of the great
est stock raising states in the Union.
for this industry is yet in its swad-
ding clothes in this state. Colorado's
geographical position makes 1t n nat
ural manufacturing ground. Colo
RADIOS climate is ideal.
The future growth Of Colorado is
assured.
