he might examine the contents of a
barrel containing paint and gasoline.

The barrel of gasoline exploded ana

Avery hardware store was destroyed

The total loss was about $1,000, par

PEAS BEST ROTATION CROP

Longmont, Oct. st has been found
by close observation by some of the best
farmers in this locality that a crop OF
peas puts the ground in better condi-
tion for small grain the following year
than any other crop raised. And the
peas are paying proposition, some
farmers raising as high as two tons of
shelled peas to the acre, for which they
received $1.75 to So per 100 pounds.
V. r. Pennock raised 46 to As bushels
of wheat per acre this year and esti-
mates that using pea ground gave him
Is to 20 bushels more per acre than If
on other ground; Charles j. Gregg got
49,. bushels and gives pea ground
credit for % to 33H per cent over
stubble; John Larson got "a bushels
per acre and credits the peas with 10
bushels; James H. Nichols got 80 bush
els per acre on pea ground while on old
ground he got only 35 bushels; p. X
Paterson gives the pea land credit for
20 to % bushels in excess of any other
rotating crop; Jack Adams, 6s bushels.
and says that the peas are responsi
BILE for 25 bushels; Will Price. sc bush
els, and says 80 per cent was caused by
having had his land in peas the year
before; and R. F. Coffin gives it as his
opinion that the peas should be credited
to at least 10 bushels more per acre
than if no peas had been planted the
year before.
This will interest farmers who are
trying to find a rotating crop which
will yield profit and also put the
land in good condition for any other

ATTACKS THE DANCE

Palisade. Oct. 3.-At the Baptist
church Sunday evening Rev. Monbeck
spoke from the subject of the ''Broad
Minded Christians View of the Ball
Room, or Is 1t Wrong to Dance?" He
presented in a logical manner from an
point of view, five rea-
sons why it is wrong to dance. His
first reason was that it permits liber-
ties to be taken that would be entirely
wrong in other places. His second rea
son was that it created social and
moral impurities. OF five hundred
thousand fallen women in this country
three hundred thousand of them attrib-
ute their downfall directly to the dance
hall.
Number three was that person who
patronizes the dance hall loses his IN
fuence to do good. His next reason
was that a person not only loses his in
fuence to do good but he creates bad
influence also. His fifth and last reason
was that the effects of dancing wera
anything but good. Here Rev. Mon
beck quoted his text which was "By
their fruits ye shall know them If
is good, their fruits will be
good and the fruits of dancing are GER
tainly anything but good.

There isn't much to say about that
democratic county convention held in
Glenwood last Saturday except that i.
was a very tame affair. the only enthu
siasm in the whole affair being that
which was put into the scraps and

notice was that they praised Congress.

as to Shafroth and Napier and the
menagerie on Capitol hill in which these
two have played such prominent part.
Even when carrying out that part Of
the slate where Dinkel was turned
down and Luxen renominated the best
that any of Joe's friends could say
for him was that they "guessed he had
done the best he could"
The only excitement of the day
worthy of specialization was where
Major DeLan undertook to introduce on
the floor resolution, but when he un-
dertook to read it he was called down
by Theodore Rosenberg on point Of
order. The chairman quickly sustained
the point of order and DeLan appealed
from the decision of the chair and lost.
There is some speculation as to the gist
Of the resolution some holding that it
was a nice compliment to shafroth
whom this county cruelty repudiated at
the state convention while others say
it was a declaration in favor of a di-
rect primary without the convention

HE CHANGED HIS CLOTHES

Thursday morning there was set out
in the Midland yards freight car con-
tanning shipment of clothing consigned
to Mr.. Swartzman of the Fair store.
The shipment consisted principally of
corduroy trousers and black sateen and
blue flannel shirts. On the floor of the
ear was pair of old and badly worn
trousers and heavy shirt, also con-
siderably the worse for wear. Upon
checking up Swartzman shipment it
was found to be short two pairs of
corduroy trousers and one shirt. The
supposition is that some Weary Willy
made his way into the car and, becom-
ing convinced that it was about time
for him to change clothes, proceeded to
do so at the expense of Swartzman. or
rather, at the expense of the Midland
road. Having done this he chit the
grit'' and his whereabouts are up to
this time unknown.

The sepaker declared that every
pledge made by the republicans had
been redeemed when the republicans
were placed in power.
He declared that the platform of the
republican party this year has inaug-
urated a policy upon which the state
can be developed and that is the policy
of constructing good roads. He referred
at some length to an address of ex-
Governor Gilpin, delivered sixty years
ago, when that gentleman prophesied
that the true destiny of this state must
come on its development of roads
throughout its mountains, and he de-
clared that like all other movements the
good roads movement must be inaug-
urated and maintained by the repubi'
can party.

WILLIAM Ro1R INJURED

Last Monday afternoon as William
Rohr. d. & R. G. yardmaster, was di'
recting the placing of car on the ele-
waited coal chute track in West Glen
wood, he fell or was pushed from the
trestle and landed about sixteen feet
below, his back striking on rock.
He was so badly bruised about the
back and shoulders as to cause great
suffering and when carried to his home
it was found that he could not move
his lower limbs or shift the position Of
the body, and this led to report that
he WAS partially paralyzed.
Prompt medical attention, however,
and the best of care have brought
about great improvement and Mr..
Rohr is now resting as well as could
be expected from one so badly shaken
up, but it will probably be several
weeks before he can return to his work.
Fortunately no bones were broken.

ago, when the senator severely criti
cised the democratic caucus and de
manded that if he stay in the senate he
be given the right to be heard. Mr.
Stevens upheld the senator on this prop
osition. He referred in some length to
the caucus lash and how it held the
its control.
Mr.. Stevens was president of the di
rect primary election league two years
ago and he referred to the campaign
that was made by that league to SC
cure pledges from the candidates for
the legislature to support direct pri-
mar election law He read one of tn"
pledges which not only pledged the
