The City Election

The election for Monday, OF
alderman, while it is not evoklng
the interest of an election where

Opportunity for Hereford Men.

One of the most popular breeds
of cattle in the west is the Here
ford. and through the efforts of the
National Western Stock Show
Association the west is rapidly
coming to the front as a producer
of the very best in the breed
Western conditions seem to be
peculiarly adapted to this breed of
cattle and the demand for the
choicest individuals for breeding
purposes is always greater than
the supply. At the coming show
in Denver, January Sth to 18th, the
American Hereford Cattle Breed
ers' Association is arranging to
sell 80 head of selected individuals
from the best herds in the country
at public sale. This sale will take
place on Tuesday, January 18th,
and while it is not expected that
the cattle offered will bring any
where near their value, they will
be scattered through the west and
will do good work for the breed in
the future. Each animal sold is
guaranteed by the association, and
they are sold without reserve. The
animals are selected by com
mittee from the best herds of the
country and there should be a good
demand for them. The west is to
be the future breeding ground for
the beef breeds and it is the hope
of the Western Stock Show Asso-
citation that within few years the
western bred cattle will be able to
win over the breeding from all
other sections. 1t is the desire
that these choice cattle pass into
the hands of good breeders who
will use them in building up good
herds. Anyone desiring further
particulars of this sale can address

drawn ont of the box.
The first number drawn will win

The next % numbers out will
win for each holder a Combination

prize No. is not brought in by
noon on January End. the second
number will win first, the third
second, and in the same rotation
on down the line until all the
prizes are given out. This is done
because some of the tickets will no
doubt be lost. just save the tick
cts and bring them in.

The Shortest Day Of the Year.

Wednesday, December %, was
the shortest day of this year The
reason for this, as explained by
Dean Herbert Howe of the Uni
versity of Denver, is that on that
date the sun was the farthest from
the equator. Sometimes, contrary
to the general opinion, the shortest
day falls on December q and oc-
casionally as early as December 20.
at has become customary for
people to take for granted that
Dec. % is the shortest day of every
year" said Dean Howe. "but in
this there is an error. Ii it were
not for the extra day that is added
to the calendar by leap year, then
we might correctly say that Dec,
% is the shortest day and end the
matter there. But this extra day
varies things somewhat.
Our days are adjusted to the
motions of the sun and this extra
day being thrown in, it is neces.
sary that this day, with the nun.
ber of regular days, be properly
adjusted to the motions of the sun
Because of this extra day in lear
year there is slight variation as
to the exact day when the sun il
at the greatest distance from the
celestial equator, and SO it some
times happens that December q
or q may be the shortest day il
the year"
