On every farm where grain Is raised
and where intensive methods have be-
come imperative the seed drill should
be used for all the small grains. Not
only is less seed required where the
drill is used, but by sowing the seed
at an even depth and in moist soil a
better and more uniform stand of
grain is secured. Experiments con-
Quoted by the Illinois experiment sta
ton showed that an increase in yield
of from five to seven bushels per acre
was secured on plots Of ground where

Any farmer engaged in raising live
stock cannot afford to feed his grain
to anything but the best. BY carefully
culling out the tail enders and steadily
striving to improve by a judicious Sc
lection of breeding stock, a herd can
be built up that will give satisfaction
and profit.

hold snow enough to blockade the road

DENVER WILL HAVE Y. M. C. A.
Great Meeting Sunday at Shorter
Pastors and Congregations Co.
Operate-Grand Time.

To all of those who had heard the
Y. NJ. C. A. in their o'clock services
in large cities and who have seen men
stand up for Christ and from that time
on become manly, true-hearted and val
liable pieces of timber in the commun
ity, Sunday afternoon was but slight
reminiscence of that meeting. The
soul-stirring song service was there
with all of its fervor and joy and men
sang out as never before, as if they
and start just such movement. After
Rev. Ward stated the purpose of the
meeting Denver's Y. NJ. C. A. secretary
dwelt at length on the Breaking of
Home Ties" which made every young
man present, especially those who had
broken home ties in reality and who re
membered mothers last kiss, her last
look as he left her humble door to go
out into the world to become a man.
and who had received the Bible as her
best and precious gift, feel and recall
| those lasting and touching scenes OF
his life. Nearly every represen
tative young man was out, together
with middle-aged and old men, who
were there to mingle their voices in
song and praise of the Master. A neat
collection was taken and nearly sixty
persons names were handed in for
membership. BY the time the commit
tee appointed to look after the organi-
zation notified the public of the next
meeting, the list shall have swollen to
300 members. The ladies were present,
assisting in the meeting and made
themselves valuable asset to the
meeting. The Y. M. c. A. must have
| 1000 names. Will you be one out of a
thousand?

The Secret of Success.

! Each life should become conscious
of its own individuality and respon-
sibility, and poise itself on its own
standing-ground. When woman has
learned that the center of the universe
for her is where she stands, and has
fully realized this idea of the central
thought of being, she will comprehend
that she can get no further than her
own limitations, and must be con-
trolled more or less by her own en-
vironment. To quote from Persian
anthology: Scoop thou ever so deep
in river or fountain thou can'st but
fill the pitcher"

Mesdames William Mason and Geo.
NJ. Lee and son of Helena, Montana,
were the guests in Denver last week
and while here they were royalty en-
tertained at the residence of Mrs.
Greenleaf of 1852 Cleveland place last
Saturday night. In fact, it was re-
union of Helenaites, and the event
brought out many fond recollections
of the pioneers of that burg, but per
haps the most familiar to cath other
were Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Susie Davis, Mrs.
William Greenleaf and H. ]. Foster
The house was very tastefully decor
ated for the occasion and the delica.
cies served were of the best. A late
hour found the guests bidding each
other adieu, and wishing to again meet
on such an occasion.

Perhaps one of the most Negroes
that attended the Democratic conven-
tion was Stanley Mills of Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, who was here in charge
of a delegation of millionaiTes from the
keystone state. While here he met a
number of our prominent citizens, but
among those that proved to be the
real thing" in his estimation was II.
]. Foster and William Slade, whom the
gentleman from the East hailed with
fraternal greetings. 1t was a royal
meeting and the two proceeded to the
hotel where the headquarters of the
aforesaid delegation was located and
there, together with number of the
delegates a few taps were made on
some excellent wet goods and more
than-well, long time--a jolly good
time was the result. The event was
one that proved a happy meeting and
a tie of friendship that binds together
the East and West-at least as far as
the parties concerned. In speaking
of Mr.. Mills, the Denver boys say he
is as sharp as a sharp tack, both in
fraternal as well as current issues.

Motto from Ruskin.

"Try to get strength of heart to
look yourself fairly in the face in mind
as well as body. l do not doubt that
the mind is a less pleasant thing to
look at than the face, and for that
very reason it needs more looking at;
SO always have two mirrors on your
toilet table and see that with proper
care you dress body and mind before
them daily"

The Mad and Murderou. Pace.

In the New York health department
reports for 1907 two items stand out
with unpleasant prominence. the 1927
deaths from organic heart disease and
the 4,914 violent deaths. The former
reflects the mad driving of the human
body under the excitement OF our
high-speed existence; the latter is a
grewsome reminder of the disregard
Of Americans for their own lives. OF
the 4,914 deaths by violence only 2S4
were homicides and I'll suicides.
Nearly 1000 citizens, then, were
slaughtered by street cars, factory
wheels, trucks, tenement house fires
and other sanctioned methods of ex-
termination, A comparison of this
record with that of other large cities
would surely put New York at the
very bottom of the list Where else

An Austrian engineer has discovered
that trunks of trees retain the salt OF

the direction of the fiber. He has con-

as the process of filtration is accom-

pump which sucks up the sea water
into reservoir and then forces 1t into

The RESULT.

The result of the election Tuesday
was another landslide victory for the
republican party throughout the ma
ton, not so great as that recorded
four years ago, perhaps, but of sufi-
cient magnitude to show that the re-
forms contenjed for by the democrat
ic party and leaders either did not
meet with the approval of the people
or the people did not have confidence
in the ability of the democratic party
TO carry them out.
In the nation the democrats were
without means to make a campaign
which is required in this country,
while the republicans were supplied
with an unlimited campaign fund.
Bryan made magnificent campaign
throughout the country and the enthu-
siasm with which he was greeted in
many of the heretofore republican
states was Of such magnitude as to
lead many republicans to believe that
he would carry them. However, ii
seems that in many places the people
shouted for Bryan and voted for Taft
