CLARENCE LYnAN.s LATEST
Rio Crande Issues New Edition
Giving Most Valuable
Information.

The Denver d Rio Grande rail
way has issued another up-to-date
edition of its book entitled Fertile
Lands of Colorado" which gives
much valuable information about
Colorado land and farming
methods. 1t contains concise
description of the vast area of
horticultural and grazing lands
located on the line of the Denver
d Rio Grande railway in Colorado
and New Mexico.
The book contains full informa-
tion for settlers as to lands now
open for entry or offered for sale,
and as to the present day oppor-
tunities in fruit growing, market
gardening, stock raising, sugar
beets and general farming.
The material for the book was
compiled by Clarence A. Lyman, a
former newspaper man, who is
more familiar with farming and
land conditions in Colorado than
almost any other individual. For
several years Mr.. Lyman has made
"A study of agricultural and horti-
cultural conditions. OF Colorado's
climate the book says:
incidentally, the climate which
is best for an apple and best for a
peach is best for human being.
Just as Colorado sunshine dispels
nildew and blights on trees and
vegetables. SO it disposes of those
blights that prey upon humanity.
Just as the cool air gives the peach
flavor, it gives life flavor The
climate soothcs, stimulates and
energies at once.
1T is good for sick man or
woman to come to Colorado. but
Colorado is not sanitarium. Only
a small proportion of those who
come to the state annually come
for their health. New strength
and vigor, new courage and inspira-
tion come with the cool. crisp air,
with the endless sunshine, with
the perennial blue of the sky, with
the inspiring views of the noun
tains, with the open-air life.
Colorado is state where strong
men are doing great things. Farm
work is lighter, results are more
certain, success is sure. Neither
sunstroke in summer nor freezing
cold in winter threatens the far
mer's life. The spirit of progress,
of getting better results out of life,
is breathed in with the air of every
one of the fertile valleys of Colo

New Public Utilities Managed In q

1t should be borne In mind that the

ownership Of public and semi public

people residing in the place. In west.

come into the field with proposition.
The city or town council is approached
and the final result Is that franchise
covering % to 80 years is granted.
The works are built. People are then
compelled TO pay highest rates to
meet interest on bonds and watered
stocks The company perhaps pays
taxes less proportiouately than the
residents OF the town are compelled
to pay, and the only money left In
the community that Is earned by the
operation Of the plant are the taxes
paid, the wages of the few lsborcrs
employed and the salaries that few
straw officers draw. All the profits
are drawn to the owners Of the plant
in some other city, generally Wall

Should these utilities be owned by

True Principle In Advertising.

According to the most careful estl-
mates. the volume OF business done by
the mail order houses in the United
States amounts to more than one bill
lion of dollars annually. When II is
considered that 20 years ago there
were no mail order systems Of bust.
ness as now known, and that since
then the plan has been developed. 1t
becomes evident to the thinker that
there is magic in advertising, for 1t Is
by advertising alone that the mail
order business has been built up. 1t
would perhaps be fatal for the small
merchant In the agricultural cities and
towns to follow the plans, the distort-
ed and exaggerated advertising meth
DDS of the department stores and the
mail order houses. Yet there is a prin.
ciple In advertising that ever holds
good. This principle is as sound for
the little merchant, the dealer in any
kind of wares, as 1t is for the biggest
concern on earth. In fact, the great
business houses generally had small
beginning, and by publicity pushed up
to the front writes d. NJ. Carr
Did people of agricultural sections
fully realize how the millions taken
to the large cities by the mail order
system causes them n direct injury,
1t would not be long before these con
Germs would be out of business

MAIL ORDER HOUSE EVIL.
System Keeps Many Agricultural
Towns from Advancing.

There is no use in claiming that
concerns They are entitled to exist
as well as the small merchant There
can be no doubt as to the pcrfcCtncss
Of the system that they are conducted
upon. No use In denying that now
and then they fail to give satisfaction
TO their customers. So do the mer'
chants in all lines of trade He who
believes that these great concerns are
not injurious to the merchants in the
smaller cities and towns knows little
about their operations Then how Is
II that the mail order houses are In
furious to the people of the land?
Great economists agree that II Is the
concentration Of capital and power In
the large cities wherein rests the dan
gers that threaten the people. The
mail order houses are great factors in
this concentration. They are suckers
Of the blood of the country, the
mediums that take from communities
where It is earned the money that
should be retained by the people for
the development and enrichment of
their own communities. Herein is the
mail order house evil. On these
grounds all wise people will do what
ever lies in their power TO head of
the greater growth Of the system, Any
system should be retained within its
limits for the grwlter development Of
its resources and general enrichment

It is not sufficient that the consumers

is little development Of industry. The

Is necessary TO employ the people,

Home Patronage Lesson.

The west is the section that pro
duces the wheat that supplies the ma
ton with bread In almost every
wheat.growing section there are flour
ing mills. Yet how often do We find
that people Of these districts demand
-four made in a fossign place. This
principle is wrong. There is loss
to the district. When wheat Is shipped
from one state into another or from
the district where 1t is grown to some
other district and then made into
flour which Ia returned to the people
for their. use, there Is a considerable
loss to the community. There is the
commission to the grain dealers, the
freight paid on the wheat. and the
freight paid on the -four back to the
place, and not least is the employment
Of labor In the manufacture. There Is
much to be gained through the pat.
rouage of every home institution,
whether II be manufacturing enter.
prise or mercantile concern. The
community is made Weather by
keeping in II all the dollars that are
the result Of the labor of the people.
