Where Comparison Is odious.

An Iowa home seeker who spent
a week in La Junta and vicinity writes
that he has decided to buy tract
Of land near Montrose. and some of
his observations will be of interest
TO us who live in La Junta. not that
they are necessarily accurate, but
simply to see ourselves as others see
us. He writes:
"Montrose is a better town and
the country around II more settled.
Good water can be gotten at a depth
OF forty feet and potatoes can be
grown. The government furnishes
the water.
when arrived in Montrose |
found everybody doing his level best
TO make visitor feel that he was
appreciated. Those people are full
Of spirit and enthusiasm. and | no
,iced II wherever went-in banks
or churches or among business men.
The business people of your town
tia Junta) need looking after to
make them boosters instead of knock
ers. Even Rocky Ford shows up diff
ferent and better in the above respec
than La Junta. Even your residents
there would hardly speak good
word for La Junta."
The visitor who writes this must
have fallen among poor entertainers
and must have made the acquaintanc
OF dyspeptics. La Junta is alright
and full OF good people. Some OF
them don't exactly bubble over with
enthusiasm, though In a quiet way
they have deeply at heart the best
interests of the community.

Harvard House In Shakespsars's Town

Harvard House. the sixteenth cen

Americans. The function was fol.
lowed by lunch In Miss Corelli's
house.
The ambassador. In declaring the
house "henceforth open AS a free re-
sort for all visiting sons OF Harvard

stallauon OF DIR. Lowell as the new
president OF Harvard as constituting
a further tie between America and
England being on the same plane ms
those OF Ambassador Bryce to Amer.

The gift OF Harvard House is due
principally TO the initiative OF Miss
Marie Corelli. the novelist. She had
long cherished the Idea that the
Stratford' 'on.Ayon dwelling where
John Haryard's mother lived and
where he himself must often have
stayed should belong to Harvard Uni
yersity. Miss Corclli's idea was
strongly supported by Edward Morris.

trusted Miss Corelli with the cxecu.

Harvard period. The presentation Of
the house WAS accepted by Harvard

Unfortunately. items OF purely local
interest are frequently transmitted
as news to papers In Denver and
Pueblo, thus giving wider circula-
tion 10 this undesired and undesir-
able species of advertising.
Those who have taken notice of
the book.plate used in our Public
Library, are familiar with the motto,
Property is Trust" To this should
De added, perhaps, the fact that the
holder of the property may naturally
consider himself trustee for specif-
ic purposes, and for special
locality, rather than as barrel
on-tap for the benefit of any and
every needy individual, or any ones

AS TO the use to be made of the
property by the school board. think
l am safe in saying that 1t bears no
relation to the Boys Club, in spite
OF the special from La Junta TO the
