not difficult to make good article and
the expense is not great. Take sound
barrels or any suitable sized vessels of
wood, earthenware or glass iron,
copper or tin. Clean thoroughly and
scald. Fill not more than half full with
cider stock, which should have fer

add one-fourth its volume of old vine

process, since the vinegar restrains the
growth of chance ferments which
abound in the air and at the same time
favors the true acetic acid ferment.
Next add to the vinegar a little mother

a fairly pure culture may be made by
exposing in shallow. uncovered crock
or wooden pail mixture of one-half
old vinegar and one-half hard cider.
The room where this is exposed should
have temperature of about eighty de-
grees Fahrenheit. In three or four
days the surface should be covered with
a gelatinous pellicle or cap. This is the
mother vinegar. A little of this care

Last Weeks Fair Best
Euer Held in Hotchkiss.

The fair this year was the best in
every way than any fair that has ever
been pulled off in Hotchkiss. The first
day began with rain storm but in the
afternoon the clouds rolled away and
the races came off on schedule time.
The light rain in the morning put the
track in the best of order.
The first race was a three-minute
rrot, best two in three, first money was
$50, which was taken by James Balm
ards horse, ~. B." the time for the
first heat was 2:28 and the time for the
second heat was 2:26.
The next race was Il mile pony

The q mile running race was taken
by horse from Durango, while second
money was captured by horse owned
by Jim Moss of Delta.

the valley that we have ever seen at
any time.

The North Pole.

DR.. Cook s arrival home with claim
that he reached the North Pole has
gained for him the worlds ovation.
There are skeptics who doubt his
having reached the North Pole, but the
majority of scientists and fellow ex-
plorers accord him the honor and the
victory.
There would be no reason for man
brave enough and skillful enough to
reach even far point north, to fabri-
cate victory. except that his mind
might become affected and he become
deluded with such a belief. In the
case of DR.. Cook, SO far as reported.
there has been no evidence that he is
not of entirely sound and healthy mind.
Other nations have greeted him as an
American winner in the race for this
discovery, and certainly America should
be ready and willing to do him all pos
sible honor.
As to the Importance of his discovery,
except to science, it is something on a
line with the accomplishment of COM
munication with Mars. An ice field
where mercury stands at III below zero,
marks the fartherest point of the
needles attraction North. To reach
this point millions of dollars have been
spent and scores of lives lost before a
single man comes back with report
that. after years of privation he es-
capped the death which others met and
succeeded in reaching the North Pole.
If true, as the world seems inclined tc
accept, it is an accomplished step ir
scientific adventure and discovery,
where, it may or may not stop.
In comparison, the feats now being
tried out in aerial navigation, seen
vastly more important. The success.
of airships, however, may serve to oper
up the best way to reach the Pole, ane
which has been Walter Wellman's ides
from the beginning, except that Walter
tried the experiment in balloon.

Why were these old-time men and wo-

Charles A. Greene. like to see a

like q man who habitually hrrries. The
hurrying man gets on my nerves. He

For that matter, the. earnest, hurrying
man may actually do things, but he
does them at the cost of an unnecessary
expenditure of nerve force on his own
part, and am sure he must wear on
the nerves of other people around him.
Now the hustler is very different
proposition from the hurrying man. and
so also the man of energy. The hustler
is indeed a man of energy. but he is one
working, or commonly so, within COM
paratively narrow compass, or along
some special line of work. He is a
driver, who makes it his business to
get things done and to keep on getting
them done, and always with the least
possible waste of time or force. There

make a great ado and don't accomplish
much, but the one | have described is
