EASY AS GREASE

1t makes me laugh to see the whole
country trying to make out why the
cost of living has increased, said the
old farmer met at the village railroad
depot"
Have you solved the problem?" I
asked in reply.
Haint any to solve Just as easy as
grease. 1t all goes back to the farmer,
don't it,.
Eyes, he produces most of what we
eat"
We'll, take my case. Five years ago
my wife wanted a pianner | got it,
and I put 10 cents a bushel on to the
price of 'taters to get even. Then my
daughter wanted to go to college. She
went, but I had to stick 80 cents on
to every bushel of turnips. Then my
son Sam he wanted bike, and my son
Joe he wanted gold watch. They
got them and up went cucumbers to
pay the bill. See?"

Then | took notion I wanted a
racehoss. got one. and had to jump
the price of eggs. Then my wife and

come home and boosted the price of
cabbages. Then Sam and Joe got
married and wanted to make a tour
of Europe. The tour came off, and up
went onions to pay for it, Do you
know why the butter is so high?"
Scarcity of feed, they say"
Scarcity of nothing. It's Jest that

WEEKS EVENTS
COLORADO
Colorado Lands Eliminated.

Washington, d. C.-The President
has signed proclamations eliminating
1862 acres from the Battlement and
6,765 acres from the White River ma
tional forest. These eliminations are
the result of a careful field examina-
ton made on all national forests by
the department of agriculture during
the summer of 1909.
The examinations resulted in data
as to the character of lands along the
forest boundaries. The object sought
was to learn both where lands within
the boundaries should be excluded
from the forests and where outside
land should, in the interest of their
best use in accordance with the prin-
ciples laid down by law for the crea-
tion of national forests, be brought
within the boundaries. Since, however,
no increase in the national forest
area of Colorado can be made by the
President, the proclamations concern
suitable for elimination.
The lands excluded from the Battle
ment forest are rolling foothills or level
flats along the exterior boundaries
The largest and most important
changes are at the extreme west end
of the Battlement mesa division and
at the extreme northwest corner of
the Grand mesa division,
From the White Ri'er national for
est the exclusions are principally rug
ged foothills without commercial tim
Der. The principal elimination is in
the extreme southeastern corner of
the forest and includes a portion of
the Grand river and Rifle creek water
sheds.
The unappropriated portions of the
areas eliminated will be restored to
settlen nnt and entry after advertise
ment ii the local papers by the Sec
retary Of the interior

Old Men in Responsibility.

The American business system,
which gives mere boys responsible po-
sitions before they have acquired prac-
tical experience, is to an Englishman
quite unaccountable. He wonders
whether it does not cause reckless
trading and wild speculation. In other
countries they prefer to keep elderly
men in responsible positions because
they can be depended upon. Messrs.
Dyke & Sons, Somerset, England, em-
ploy &C men. More than half have COM
pleted 90 years service, 20 have been
there 40 years, nine over so years and
one 70 years.

For the Critics.

Creston Clark. whose untimely
death at Asheville robbed America of
\ serious and capable actor, was
somewhat impatient of criticism. To
a Philadelphia critic he once said:
you chaps are unwilling to accept
man for what he is. You want to
change him to your own taste. But
each of you has a different taste. To
whose inclination, then, is he to
bend?
mo, no! Take the artist for what
he is. That is the right critical atti-
tude. Don't be like the farm urchin
once saw-an urchin who, as he
stoned a frog to death, repeated Sc
verely:
"I'll rarn ye to be toad"

The Only OrioinaI.

George Washington was very small.
very black and very new to the life
of the public school which he had just
entered. His family had emigrated to
the city from some unknown wilder
ness and the officers of the school
board had discovered little George,
and brought him into line with the
prospects of the higher education. 1t
was his first day and the teacher was
trying to make him at home.
"And so your name is George Wash
ington?" said the teacher.
"Yassum, Jorge Washington"
"And | suppose you try to be as like
him as little boy can, don't you?"

The youngster looked puzzled.
