PRACTICAL EDUCATION
Western People Arc Intensely Practi-
cal Says DR.. Charles A. Lory

THE people of the West are natur-
ally intensely practical says DR..
Charles "A. Lory, president OF the Col
orado Agricultural college few days
ago. Even their education must be
practical. The theory Is all right pro-
vided you illustrate 1t by practical ap-
plication, otherwise they haven't time
to bother with it. l presume that it
Is because we are busy people and
have SO many practical every day
problems to solve that we do not want
to stop to consider theories which
cannot be applied to everyday AFFAIRS,
That is one OF the reasons why the
annual stock show at Denver is so
popular. 1t is practical education In
the MOST practical form and on sub
ject that interests every farmer. ! re-
gard the annual stock show at Denver
as one of the most important institu-
lions Of the state. Our soil, our ell
mate, every condition effecting agri-
culture in Colorado and the inter
mountain country, demands live
stock as q basis to be successful. We
shall try to have every agricultural
student at Fort Collins visit the con-
ing show in Denver and in my opir-
ion, no farmer or stockman can ~
ford to miss it. 1t is zone Of the ~
situations Of the state that should he

that It was not only safe to invest
here, but that Investments on q
mighty scale would be justified. And
the dependence is not entierly, not
half, indeed, on the sums to be paid
by tenants. A vast proportion OF the
floor room Is to be devoted to the ac-
tive business of the purchasers. The
man at the heart OF the syndicate has
been in active business here for. forty
years, and when he decides that In
the years to come he will need twelve
times the amount Of room that he has
in the past, that means something.
1t means that he has not only kept
watch OF the. increase Of his own bus
mess, but the cause of it, and that
he has founded his conclusions on
the wants of this and adjacent states.
1t all supplies such a vote of conf
dence in the future of this city as
was never cast before. Much Of the
improvement that has been going on
here of late, at least many Of the pur-
chases OF realty have worn specu-
lative look. as though the purchasers
were gambling with themselves that
as the business is going on they will
in "a few months be able to unload
at profit, but this last big deal in
dicates permanent Investment to
last for all time. Hence the certifi-
cate Of character which the purchase
gives to Salt Lake is most valuable.
The closing days of the year are
certainly filled with promise for Salt
Lake. promise that 1t is surely to
become great citya center for all

HIS GRAFT WAS NIPPED in THE
BUD

Montpelier Examiner
The biggest graft that was ever
attempted to be worked on the people
I Of this vicinity was nipped in the bud
here Tuesday. The CRATER. accom-
panied bv his wife, arrived in the city
last Sunday and they registered at the
Hotel Burgoyne as ~. Bruce Murray
and wife of San Francisco.
Mr.. Murray purported to be the
"official compiler and solicitor for the
State Of Idaho Blue Book. Monday
morning he began operations and, be-
ing a smooth talker and a man OF
rather businesslike appearance, he
was enabled to work quite NUM-
Der Of prominent citizens OF Montpe.
Ilier an Paris, besides severaf Well
known farmers of the country.
His proposition was simply this !:
He proposed to publish biographical
sketch, with a half-tone likeness OF
each individual in the blue Book
at SO much per. the amounts varying
from SIS to $50. The victims each
signing an order authorizing the pub
llieation of the biographical sketch.
and agreeing to pay on demand the
sum the CRATER succeeded in talking
them out Of. Most of the victims
gave their checks, which were dated
ahead, some in February andsothers
lin March, and some, we believe, as
Late as June of next year, when the
book was to be delivered.
During the temporary absence OF
Cashier Sullivan from the First Ma
tional bank, Murray succeeded IN
getting several of the checks cashed.
Upon Mr.. Sullivan returning to the
bank and discovering that the checks
were all pro-dated, Murray was ap-
pretended and forced to cough up the
Lcashs and the checks were returned
| to him.
He also tried to cash some Of the
checks at the Bank of Montpelier,
but falling in this he offered to sell
1.-THE whole bunch at big discount,
stating to Mr.. Gray that he was broke
and needed the money. However,

The Campbell System

Try this experiment.. Take an
ordinary piece of loaf sugar and
pile as much loose granulated SUI
ar on top as will stay there,
says the Cimarron Jacksonian.
Just barely dip the lower end in
to a cup of coffee. You will
see the brown liquid creep rap
idly to the top. When it reach
es the loose sugar the motion of
the liquid is almost entirely
stopped and the top of the loose
sugar will remain dry. The Loaf
represents the hard, compact
ground. The force which makes
the liquid go rapidly upward is
called capillary attraction or tn
"water ladder" The loose sug-
ar represents loose soil on the
top of the ground, made by tn
narrowing. This loose soil both
stops the water ladder" and
prevents evaporation by contact
with the open air. This is the
Campbell system"
