any community, who are looking
eagerly for n chance to better their
condition Show to these men hon
estly and fairly without attempt to
paint In colors more glowing than
actually exist how in Colorado the
same capital that they have invested
in their present farms, their present
store, their present factories, will
yield them far greater returns and
you find them ready and willing to
make a change.
What has Colorado to offer these
men?
Rare Opportunities Here.
Opportunities such as exist In no
other state in the Union. The man
who tills the soil for n living has only
to take the latest yearbook issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture and read therein the story Of
Colorados greatness as an agricul-
tural state. The yield an acre OF
grains In Colorado. according to un-
Gle Sans own hgures--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 OF 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 still the greatest metal pro
duclng 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 It's swad-
ding clothes In this state. Colorado's s
geographical position makes II nat.
urai manufacturing ground. Colo
radios climate is ideal.
The future growth OF Colorado Is
assured.
VIII People Sit Idlel
But will the people OF Colorado be
content to sit idly by and see Canada
see the states to the north OF us. states
to the south OF us, states to tho west
OF us, by n systematic exploitation OF
themselves. turn In these directions
the hundreds Of thousands OF people
who might become residents of this
great state? VIII they be satisfied
with this slow growth?
Every man In III. state is interested
in the growth OF the state. Every new
settler In tho state brings so much
capital with him, whether II be In
\ the form OF cash or chnttels or
whether II be In the form OF brains
and two willing hands. Consequently
every resident OF this state IN going
TO benefit proportionatoly from this
now capital added TO the wealth OF the
state.
Hence the necessity and the adyan'
,ages to bc gained by Colorado by "A
systematic and energetic campaign OF
publicity.
But this cannot be done unless the
state as n whole takes up the move
ment. Spasmodic Efforts viii avail but
little. The movement must be general.
backed by Colorado and Coloradans.
Big Gun Has Big Effect.
Train n fourtcon.ineh gun on mn oh,
jcct and the effect viii be greater
than II 100 little guns were trained on
the same object. one thousand men
pulling ON rope will accomplish
wonders. one hundred thousand es'
crting their strength on the same oh

effect that 1000 has.
There must be concerted effort
