Is to substitute seven days reli-

clergyman in Washington Post.
There is no doubt that this is true
where religion is at all strong: but
is this tendency really strengthen

1t may be said that If the tendency
is in that direction, as long as II
builds mp character in the individual
II makes no difference what happens
to forms and dogma OF the church ;
that these forms do not really make
man virtuous in his daily life and
that personal religion Is infinite
ly more valuable to the individual
In opposition to this generally ac-
cepted idea. | venture to say that

men become inspired with virtuous
thoughts when they leave the church
but how long does this last? No,
something staple. something concrete
is needed

whether 1t is or is not such an idea

Most OF our knowledge of life to-

why Is not the hypothesis of n Sill

SAYS THREE CANNING FAC
TORIES MIGHT BE LOCATED

! There is room in Weld county
] for at least three more canning iac-
tories than there are here at pres
ent." said James French, Denver
commission man.
The produce and the demand
would warrant the erection OF al
least that number of factories and
there is no doubt in my mind that
Weld county will see them within Il
short time. One might be adNan-
tageously located at LaSalle. as is
contemplated. second at Greeley
and the third in one of the larger
towns further north OF Greeley. The
produce here would more than war
rant the erection of these factories
and there is no doubt but that there
would be ready market for their
disposition.
In Iowa where the produce is not
nearly so heavy and where the de-
mands are lighter there are, in one
county which | have in mind. five
canning factories and all OF them are
paying propositions.
THE construction of these factor
les would be the biggest boost which
the county could get and there is
no doubt but that they will come in
time"

CARRIES SMALL FORTUNE
IN AN OLD HAT BAND

With ten $50 bills about his nat
band Jose Jarmilla. a Mexican beet
digger, came to a 15-cent roOming
house in Greeley last night for lodg-
ing Jarmillo has been the victim
of robbers five times during his life
and every time he has been relieved
Of the little wad of money which he
carried in his pocket As a result
he now carries it IN his hat band
JaTmillo came in from Eaton last
night and in spite of the fact that
he had $500 with him he asked the
police where he might obtain a 10
cent bed. Being informed that there
are no such beds in Greeley he asked
for the lowest price, and was inform
I'd that he might get one for 5 cents.
Jarmillo speaks english very we'll
and is evidently thrifty. His one
falling is wine, and it has been on
these occasions of conviviality tnat
he has lost his money ito a friend.
Jarmillo wears his hat pulled down
tight over his head and there is alb
soiutely no chance for the money
to slip out of the band
The Mexican is now on his way to
Durango City, in the state of Du-
Sango, Mexico, which is his home
and which he left as boy nearly
thirty years ago, when he came to
Colorado and worked for many years
about the Denver police station as a
5Anitor.
