ACADEMY NOTES.
Manassa, February 6.


We are still digging for the
pearls which lie in the depths of
knowledge. Let this he the thought
of your heart: these are the best
days of my life, they are my gold
en- days"
The boys have begun to prac-
tice base ball. They played a
practice game Monday afternoon.
There is prize of five dollars
offered to the one who can compose
the best school song. O, ye poets
set your minds to work
Some of the feminine members
of our school are champion walk
ers. They broke the record on an
eight mile stretch from neighbor-
ing town, after 2 a. III. Tuesday.
Prof. Cornwall desires that more
join the choir-especially the boys.
The talk given by Superinten-
dent Nelson was very interesting
as well as instructive.
Students meeting.-The stu
dents meeting convened again
Wednesday evening. The pro-
gram is as follows: Prayer, f. $.
Christensen; piano solo, Prof.
Cornwall; vocal duet, Estella
Crowther and company; Lecture
on Purpose" Supt. Nelson; vo-
cal solo, Miss Cora Holtsclaw. The
meeting was closed with prayer by
n. j. Reese. There was large
audience and we wish to say that
the public is cordially invited to
attend these meetings with the ex-
ception of children under the age
of fourteen years.
Second Year.-The second year
class held meeting Tuesday af-
ternoon and appointed commit
tee to draw up some bylaws. They
also appointed a committee to ar
range for programs to be rendered
at these meetings. The meetings
were adjourned from Tuesdays to
Mondays at o'clock.

in honor of their departing choir
master, Lewis Swensen. A delight
full evening was spent. B. 81.
Harrison now holds the office
made vacant by the going out OF
Mr.. Swensen.
The schedule hop which will be
on tonight promises to be a pleas
ant affair and the ladies' are
making preparations to look their
prettiest on that evening in order
to coax admiring glances from the
poor, deluded opposite sex.
A party of the wee folk surprised
Miss Dottie Dalton at her home,
Monday night CT this week. A
very happy time was spent. The
evenings attraction was Tom and
Sallie" who added greatly to the
amusement of the children.
DR.. r. G. Paine, who left An
tonito a couple of weeks ago for
his former home in Oneida, n. Y,
in search of health, passed away at
that place, Sunday. Deceased was
well known throughout the valley
and especially in this section
where he has lived for many years.
Frank Broad, of Chama, is put
ting up store of general nature
at Romeo. He expects to be
ready for business in the very
near future. Mr.. Broad is known
to our people as man of excellent
business ability and it is easy to
predict for him success in his late
venture.
The Manassa Land and Irriga-
ton company held meeting at
the opera house on Monday after
noon which was attended largely
by the stockholders of the meeting
and others. The board of direct
ors for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: John Marshall,
Hugh Sellers, John A. Smith.
Henry Foster and James NJ. Jen-
sen.
The San Luis Valley Stake
Academy is running along in full
blast. Prof. Thos. ID. Rees, the
principal, states that both the at
tendance and the school in general
are very satisfactory. Their ac-
commodations are of the best and
teachers and pupils working to-
gether for mutual good, seems to
be the keynote of the academy's
success. Prof. Reese and the
school faculty extend cordial in
vitation to the out-of-town visitors
to call upon the school and view
the work which is being done.

Care Of Farm Machinery.

of farm machinery. There is per-
haps no other source of loss SO
great to them as that produced by
the way they care for their mach
inery. According to statements
made by different manufacturers,
the farmer would not have to buy
over one-half of this amount of
machinery, providing he took the
proper care of it.
AS a general rule, the prosperity
of farmer may be estimated by
the way he cares for his machinery.
Poor care indicates shiftlessness,
waste, lack of energy, and the
buying of more implements in a
short time Good care, on the
other hand, indicates prosperity,
development, bank deposits and
long lived machinery.
One of the first essentials to the
handling of the machinery is to
thoroughly understand all parts
and to be able to adjust them for
best working conditions. By run
ming certain implement with one
or more of its parts out of adjust
ment, there is danger of damaging
other parts by throwing unequal
strain on them, besides running
the part which is not adjusted.
The draft of an implement is
affected very much by its condi-
ton. A dull plow requires about
e-fourth more energy to pull it
than one which is in good condi-
ton. Poorly adjusted implements
sometimes pull twice as hard as
they should, and in so doing not
only wear out the horses, but at
the same time do poor work at
loss of time, with damaging results
to the machine.
Another very important point in
caring for farm machinery is to
properly oil all working parts 1t
has been wisely said by O'Brien
that "oil is the cheapest machinery
we have" The farmer must not
only know how and where to oil
every moving part of his machine
but he must oil it, The fact that
some parts need great deal more
oil than others must not be
overlooked. Some of the parts
that are handy will receive
more oil than is necessary, while
other parts which are not so handy
are neglected almost altogether
Sometimes oil holes will become
clogged with dirt, and while they
may appear to be open, still do
not convey the oil to the wearing
parts. This will often result in
serious damage. In other cases
certain machines have been con-
demned by operators simply be-
cause one or two oiling places had
been entirely overlooked.
Iron wearing on iron must be
covered with a film of oil to pre-
vent cutting. The oil, then. pro-
longs the life of the machine, be-
sides making it of lighter draft.
New machinery should be con-
stantly watched to prevent the loss
of bolts and small parts, as such
parts will work loose during the
first seasons use. Certain boxes
or bearings may fit too tightly,
thus causing them to heat, while
others may need tightening. There
is nothing that will shorten the
life of farm machinery more than
the carelessness of not keeping all
nuts, screws and lugs tight.
A wrench should always be
found in connection with mach
ines which are in operation, and it
should be used when necessary
Good reasoning tells us that
there are but two times during the
year that farm machinery needs
any special care. First, when it
is in use, second when it is not in
use.

WE ARE READY TO CONTRACT
10 build a home for you according. to
your plans and specifications, or ac-
cordlng to ours; upon your lot, or
upon ours, let that be as you de-
sire
In many cases. and for the best of rea-
sons, many people are unable to pay
for home In full. and il is TO those
that our plan appeals.
We arrange a schedule of monthly pay
ments, the meeting of which amounts
TO no more than a moderate rental;
at least two-thirds OF monthly pay
ment applies on the purchase price.
The initial cost of $500 down Reed not
worry you.
When the last payment is made, with II
comes the most satisfactory of all good
feeling-compiete ownership.
People exercise the greatest precaution
and executive ability except IN the
extravagant expenditure for rent, lit
tie realizing that they are saving
money for the landlord.
Only short time ago We would have
considered building 5 far north as
Ninth avenue as lacking entirely iii
good judgment, and il is now among
the choicest locations surrounding our
city.
We expect to make improvements in this
locality 10 the extent of half a mill
lion more. Should you make your Sc
lection now the profit will be yours,
not ours, LOT our oTlSlHdl PRICES re-
main
Besides the solidity and attractiveness
generally of our homes on the North
Bench. is the natural rise in the value
of real estate as an investment.
Time passes rapidly; get in the process
sion" while the general low prices pre-
vail.
Ever since this company began building
in this locality, the street railway COM
pany has been promising the extension
along Ninth avenue. At the present
writing the extension is well under
Roadway and some of the company s
new cars will soon be passing along
that street.
The slight elevation is easily reached. but
there are those who would object to
the necessary climb. but even thai
will not be considered. except for its
advantages. when the ear line is COM
pleted and the business center can be
reached within few minutes.
Not the least of this locality's attrac-
lions is the water supply from City
creek, which is only TO be had in tho
upper districts.
We can furnish good title, good COnstruc-
ton and good location, with prices to
suit all.
Intending purchasers and agents will al
ways find a representative of the com
pany ready to confer with them du-
ring business hours
