Many persons will not take an E.

them is to throw away money and
time. 1t is to encourage false am

and usefulness like a college edu
cation, Here the mind is taught
to work. The foundation may be
laid for all future growth and de-

of the right kind and in care OF
the right person is capital inves-
ted and we'll invested. 1t is not
simply a money investment but
also a mind and heart investment
and brings pleasure and enjoy

We are often asked should a
young man or woman go to COL
lege? Nova days the thing Of
going to college or not, is in the
air We hear it discussed a great
deal and hear many arguments
both for and against a college
course. AS to the proprietY OF it
let it be said that it all depends
on so many circumstances that a
direct answer is impossible. 7 at
every young man or woman
should 60 to college is just as
nonsensical as that no one should
% at all. Real genius is indie
pendent of all conditions, and
hence some of the worlds great
est men never entered a college
door. Such was the case of A
brahaham Lincoln. 1t always
seems t. us that a college educa-
ton would have spoiled him and
crippled his rare genius. But all
such men have a training OF some
kind and equal to a college edu-
cation.
But on the ether hand all other
things being equal, a college edu-
cation is necessarily of great va
lue. Because a few or even ma
ny college graduates are "asses"
is no argument against the col
leye. The college can not change
the nature of men or women. II
they go into college as impfacti-

Grand Junction Turn Yerein

The German citizens of this city
are among the most worthy and
prosperous citizens. They have al
ways been law abiding. Many of
them have built homes for themselv-
es. Some have engaged in business
and have by their fair dealing gain
ed the respect and confidence OF the
community.
The one distinctly German ihsti-
tuition in the city is the Grand Jun
ction Turn Verein. This society
was organized in 1898. A lumber
of Germans came together and ieci-
ded that they wanted a place to meet
a place where they could sing their
own songs and tell the stories of
their fatherland. In 1895, the pres
ent TURK Verein was incorporated
under the laws of Colorado. The
six men mentioned as incorporators
are all prominent Germans. They
were Henry G. Wurtz. p. j. Supp.
wilhelm Cammcrer, William Rehder
Herman Hoesch and Geo. Pletzer.
The object of the organization
was to promote in this city German
gymnastics, singing. music. festivals,
dramatic entertainments, etc. A
hall was built on Main street. be-
tween First and Second streets.

not make the showing as in other
states. but wheat. oats. hay. pota-

other vegetables are wonderfully

ity as well as quantity. We are get
ting better money for our cantaloupes
than the celebrated Rocky Fords.
Big money is made in raising eel
cry, and asparagus, as we have shown
elsewhere in this section. We have
the right kind of soil and all the
cheap water one can use, and all the
man needs to be successful is per-
sonal attention to his crop in all the
details.
The raising of alfalfa is one Of the
most profitable lines for the man
who wishes to purchase eighty or one
hundred and sixty acres of land.
The average yield is nve tons to the
acre and the price realized in the
stack this year has been from IS to
$1,000; delivered in the city 1t has
commanded $1,000 per ton. 1t is :

HOW IRRIGATION
Makes Acres Bloom

Farming Dy lrrlgdtlOn is tne oiu-
est method of farming of which we
have a record. In the valleys OF the
Euphrates and the Nile where civil
ization had its birth there fiourished
worlds histdry. The millions of
people who were sustained on COM
paratively samll area could not have
existed except under system where
intense cultivation and certainty of
yield existed.
Irrigation made Egypt the granary
of the world. 1t will make of arid
America the Greatest Empire tte,
world has ever seen.
Under irrigation there is certain
ty of yield, one year like another.
the farmer controlling the moisture
Just where and when he wants 1t SO
that under the system of intense cul-
tivation the tendency is to smaller
acreage and better class of farming
and under proper climatic conditions
for strictly high class crops. Ma
ture furnishes the soil and sunshine
and the canal furnishes the rain.
The farmer has only to apply the
water to the soil ard the sunshine
1oes the rest.
In the fruit belt near Grand Jun
ctioh there are numbers of quarter
sections that are cut into sixteen
farms, and the average will in few
years undoubtedly be under twenty
acres to the farm.
Different crops require different |
quantities OF water for their proper
growth. Grain. alfalfa and beets re-
quiring much more than fruit and
potatoes. There is no secret in ir-
rigation. The farmer who can tell
when his crop leeds rain can in
few weeks learn to irrigate. The
man who can't should stay away
from an irrigated country.
Under irrigation the soil is practi-
cally jhexhaustable. In this section
the Grand River. from which We take
our supply of water, has its source
In the high mountains of the Cont
mental Divide. In the spring the
melting SHOWS bring down vast guam
titles of silt from the higher alti-
tudes, which contain all the elements
of fertility and when spread over the
land in the early irrigation, acts as
an ever coating of fertilizer on the
land, 80 that each year the land be-
comes better and stronger and pro-
duces heavier crops.
This sediment carried by the water
Is very dark, almost black in color.
and when lard has been in culti-
yation for a number of years very
marked difference Is noticeable in the
color of the soil.
In the vicinity OF Grand Junction
water for irrigation costs the farmer
Ga cents per acre per annum..
When it is considered that this ex-
penditure practically amounts. to an
insurance policy against both wet
and dry seasons, how many farmers
In the rain belt would not be willing
to pay as much to be able to order
the weather to suit their conyen-
ience?
But of more importance is the fact .
that while he is watering one field
he is harvesting his crop ir. another

Mrs. S. A. CiItner

Few men, even among those who
pose as "chevaliers des femmes," OBJ
serve the details of a woman's cos
tune, but all of them her face, and
most of them, her hat. 1t is therefore
not to be wondered at that she pays
much attention to these most essen
tial features and that the style of a
new spring hat is of much Importance
to the average woman who has any
pride, or vanity in her personal ap-
pearance. 1t is in this connection we
lishment of Mrs. S. A. Giltner. The
emporium is. located on North Fifth
street, just around the corner from
the Grand Valley bank building. The
store is neat, and at the same time
presents a stylish appearance, in
keeping with the splendid stock that
is displayed in the windows and with

crate, considering the excellent quaE
ity of the material used and the skill
displayed in trimming. The hats and
bonnets on exhibition are marvels In
their art, and the establishment has
wide renown as headquarters for
the best millinery.
Mrs. Giltner is a milliner of much
experience having been identified
during the past seven years with sew
eral of the leading millineries of ST.
Louis, Kansas City and Chicago. The
/ lessons learned and the experience
gathered are in evidence in every
specimen of the art that comes from
her hands. Each and every one of
them shows artistic and workman
ship perfection. Annually she visits
the leading Eastern cities and selects
her stock at first hand. OF a natural
ly artistic temperament, an untiring
student of her calling she has become
recognized as an authority in her
business. Among her specialties are
the creation of attractive and fash
ionable reception and ball hats, and
in which line she occupies a place
alone. Being a mistress of her art,
keeping always in touch with Paril p
and New York tendencies in the line
of feminine headgear her establish
ment has become noted among the
members of the tender sex. as the one
place to realize thorough satisfaction.
Her prices are moderate. That fact,
with the courtesy, skill and attention
she shows has won her large Glen
