WORKING TOGETHER

Washington reports state that
Taft's personal friend, a Tennessee
lawyer, will defend Ballnger be-
fore the investigating committee.
Isn't that nice! While Taft's per-
sonal friend takes care Of Ballingel
before the committee. Taft himself
takes care of Balllnger in the cab
inet.
Thus all things work together for
good to those who stand by the ad-
ministration.

American Apple Congress.

The meeting of the American
Apple Congress to be held in
Denver on December 15th-17th is
the first step toward the organi-
zation of a great congress of
American Apple Growers and
Dealers. This will be the only
national organization of its kind
ever proposed and is destined to
become of much importance to
growers and dealers in all parts
of the country.
The initial meeting for the big
organization of this has been of.
ficially called by Gov. John F.
Shafroth, who has also sent in
vitations to governors of other
apple producing states, asking
that they send delegates.
Colorado as the leading apple
growing state in the union is the
logical state to take the initiative
in organizing this important
congress.
The Denver and Rio Grand
Railroad takes pleasure in an
nouncing rate of one fare for
the round trip to Denver. Tick
cts will be on sale from all sta
tions in Colorado on December
14th, except from points west of
Blanca and south of Vance juno
ton, when selling date will be
December 18th. Tickets will
carry a final return limit of De-
cember 18th, 1910.

A Touch of Winter.

After the most delightful fall
weather we could wish for, we
have had our first warning of
PREPARATIONS for winter.
Last week snow fell quite
generally, though not enough to
suit the farmers who have their
winter grain in, it also turned
cold, that is to say colder thar
it has been, but just cold enough
to freeze a little and make you
feel good and hasten your steps
when you walk.
Thanksgiving day was perfect.
The weather was such that you
could sit indoors comfortably
without a fire or go on the out
side and sit on the porch, as many
did on that day.
Colorado is hard to beat for
climate, take it all the year
Through. 1t is true we have a
few spells of cold, disagreeable
weather in winter, and where is
the country where it is not dis
agreeable sometime?
Word has been received from
England of three weeks rain
|every day, think of that. Even
in boasted California, where the
tourists flock by the tens of
thousands, the winters are some
times quite frosty and one needs
an overcoat when going out and
almost when staying indoors in
many Of the homes. Then the
Summers are hot, dry and dusty
everywhere. Everything dry
and covered with dust. while in
Colorado we have a summer
that could not be bettered, with
occasional showers to lay the
dust and the nights cool and CON-
Portable. Happy indeed are the
people whose homes are in tho
grand centennial state.

MOSQUITO CAUSED DOWNFALL
OF GREECE AND ROME.

The lack of energy of tropical ana
sub-tropical nations has long been at
tributed to the enervating influence
of climate but modern research has
shown that this is mistake. 1t is
not the lash of the sun that subdues
the spirit nor the soft, dangerous al
that saps energy or weakens the will.
It is the subtle poison infused into the
blood by insects. 1t was not the Man
of Macedon who deprived the ancient
Greeks of their liberties and changed
the "land of scholars and the nurse
of arms" to mendicant among the
nations. 1t was not the swarms of
northern barbarians who extinguished
the splender of Roman civilization.
Before Philip instigated the Greeks to

law of driving to the right, and let
ting the other fellow have his half Of
the road. BY the exercise of common
sense and common decencies there
should be no quarrel on this score"
The law, or rather the custom, of
turning to the right is by no means
universal The writer once travelled
by private conveyance from Riviere
du Loup, in the province of Quebec
to Woodstock, the head of navigation
on st. John river in New Brunswick.
On the way it was observed that when
vehicles met the drivers invariably
turned to the left, instead of to the
right, as they do in this country. On
being asked why this was so one
coachman said it was because when
the turn was made 20 the left the
driver of each vehicle being on the
inside could better see the wheels and
hubs and avoid collision. This
seemed reasonable. But it is not a
matter of sufficient Importance to ar
que over 1t is best to follow the Gus
tom of the country where you are

Mr.. Clemens was born in Fentress
county, Tennessee, his father being at
that time the county clerk. His boy
hood was spent amid the scenes and
among the people of that mountain
Gus region which he afterwards i'm
mortalized in THE Gilded Age" The
writer, when a boy, once saw Mr..
Twain, who was then a young man
travelling over the mountains on
horseback. The writer also knew
quite well the originals of some of
the characters in The Gilded Age, in
Guiding Col. Sellers.

Clemens had occasion often to use
the words, Mark twain which means
that the lead touched bottom at a
depth of twelve feet, and thus he got
his soubriquet which he has made IA
nous. In "Huckleberry Fin he made
use of the experience gained on the
river. In "Roughing It. he tells the
story of his early manhood This was
the book that first made him famous
and his life since it was published Is
known to all the world.
Mark Twain's books have been
translated in every living language

who ever wrote has been more wide

forced them to enlist under his banner
of conquest, the mosquito had gotten
in his work. Before the Goths, the
vandals and the Huns destroyed the
beautiful creations of art and spread
desolation throughout the Roman en-
pire, the mosquito had poisoned the
springs of national life and destroyed
the forces that held society together.
In proof of this we quote from lee
ture delivered Wednesday by Prof.
Wheeler of Harvard:
Undoubtedly the introduction OF
malaria from Egypt and Asia through
the medium of the mosquito was the
cause of the downfall, first of ancient
Greece, then of ancient Rome said
the professor.
Nearly one-half the entire popula-
ton of Greece today is malaria in
fected, and the other half is not, only
because by previous long attacks il
has become immune"
Professor Wheeler was inclined to
scoff at the popular superstition that
all mosquitoes breed malarial germs.
1.-THE common mosquito does not
breed malaria" he declared, emphat-
ically. 1.-THE common mosquito, cas-
lily distinguishable from the malarial
mosquito after one has studied the
markings, is quite harmless, at least
in so far as malaria goes.
"The malaria breeding MOSQUITO
however" he continued, ''is found in
considerable numbers throughout the
New England states, along the Allan
| tic coast and throughout the South.
1.-The mosquito rs pest easily
fought. A sprinkling of oil on the
still waters necessary for its propa
CATION will kill it, but in many cases
oiling the water surface is not, fol
other reasons, desirable.
1.-THE excavation consequent upor
the introduction of the malaria germ
and it's fuller development in the hu
man system has much to do with keep
ing Greece among the minor nations
today"
