LATE ROSTS

( Whatever may have been the eff
feet of the recent frostS on the fruit
crop OF this county and it is thought
generally tohaye been light, there
is no doubt but the cold weather
has been most beneficial in the i'm
portant work OF doing away with
the grass hopper pest which Will
mean hundreds OF thousands OF dol
lars to the farmers of Weld county.
Ii is not thought that the effect on
the fruit trees generally has been
serious but even though it has. it is
the belief of most of the farming
men Of the county that the benefit
which viii come 10 farming condi-
tons as q whole, resulting from the
destruction of the grasshoipers. will
be- worth much more than the loss

THAT REST ROOM PROPOSITION

Thera IS no DOUBT concerning thI
latitude which the Grand Army
men have taken regarding the con
version of their present quarters in
the city hall as a rest room for the
women and children OF this city The
veterans believe that the room is
theirs by every right and they pro-
pose either to keep il, OF to 80 from
the hall entirely
Hence il appears TO be UP to the
q rest room That there is need of
such a room there can be no doubt
and IL must be established But the
city will probably consider some

DELUGE RECORDS

Speaking OF the record OF the de
luge which at one time is supposed
to have swept the earth. as found
on a tablet which has recently been
unearthed at Nippur, DR. Hilprecht
the discoverer of the rare tablet, says
in the Lutheran Observer:
This story was doubtless very old
when it was inscribed on that tablet
The tablet itself was 200 years old,
and had been battered and buried
when Abraham emerged from Jr,
perhaps Nippur itself. The marvel
Gus record has remained buried all
these long centuries and now emer-
ges to be given to the world in land

were on another planet

translation was made measures two /.
and three-fourths inches at its great /
est width by two and three-eighths I
inches at its greatest length 1t is h
about seven-eighths of an inch at its
greatest thickness. The side which
bears the inscription is the reverse, {

This evidently contained the begin [

writer carried long lines over 10 the

ThaTop Hat.

Tall hats. ''pearkin up like the spire
Of a steeple a quarter Of yard above
the crowne," as a sixteenth century
writer describes them. were known In
the time Of Elizabeth, and the Puri-
tans affected them until they merged
into the old fashioned beavers OF our
great-grandfathers days. Top hats Of
silk appeared first ln Florence about
1900, and twenty years later silk hats
with felt bodies were introduced into
England. About 1910 tho French silk
hat was placed on the market and at
once adopted In the familiar chimney
pot" shape. There were several vari-
eties Of 1t, such as the Wellington hat
with the yeoman crown; the Anglesea
hat. bell shaped at the top, and the
D'Orsay hat. with ribbed silk binding
and big bow. The color also varied.
Thus the Earl OF Harrington started
craze for green top hats by wearing
one IN his garden with the idea OF not
frightening the birds. He also tested
bis silk hats by standing upon them.
The top hat. however was never 30
favored by any great parsonage as to
account for its general adOpuon.-LoR-

II. Opening Of til. Schools.

1t is claimed by some of our
most progressive educators that
our children cannot read, and
many of them can not spell, no
matter how heavily they may be
"crammed" in other branches.
One of the most serious defects
in the present conduct of schools
is said to be the fact that the
children are not taught to read,
and that they do not understand
what they attempt to read. In
many cases, it is said that the
teachers, themselves, can not
read clearly and interestingly,
making the proper pauses and
emphasis. 1t is true, too. that
children are not taught the care
full shades of meaning of words,
or that certain words alone may
be used for certain things or
ideas, either singly or in connec-
ton with other words. In the
homes, the practice of reading
aloud by one member of the FAM
lily. tor the entertainment of the
others, has fallen into disuse;
or, If still continued, the reading
is made largely from some popu-
lar work of fiction. If the family
were supplied with good, instruc-
tive books, and the older ones,
properly the fathers and moth
ers, should be able to make the
work interesting and instructive
to the younger ones by explain
ing and Illustrating, together
with the discussion of the topics
treated Of in the schools, the
child would get a clearer idea Of
what education means, and all
would be benefited. AS the
school season is now opened, il
would be well to plan for this due
ring the long evenings soon to-
follow. Lessons learned under
the home lamp are more eleyat-
ing than those the street lamp
shines upon.

Why He Adv.rtlsss.

A prominent business man of
Michigan explains why he adver-
tises and why he uses newspa-
pers for that purpose as follows:
II advertise in the newspapers
because / am not asha med of my
goods or my work and let people
know about myself and my store,
and my stock; because l cater to
the intelligent class, and they
read the paper, and l believe in
increasing my business; because
! can talk to more people through
the newspaper at greater dis
lance in less time and more reas-
enable prices than in any other
way; because my newspaper adj
vertising has brought me better
returns for money invested than
money spent in any other way.
