Man and His Oppcrtunities

only one that the force which lifted
the light might be confined and made

turn they help to make him.-Bishop

ALAMoSA MEN ORGANIZE
REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE

The real estate men of the city
met Wednesday evening and or
ganized the Alamosa Real Estate
Exchange of which ID. II. Sullivan
was chosen president and j. III.
Wilson, secretary and treasurer.
j. ID. Pitcher donated the tract
of land that he owns, lying direct
ly west of town, to the organ
lzation for the purpose of max
ing it demonstration farm.
The donation was graciously ac-
cepted and plans made for its
Immediate development. One acre
Is to be given to the culture of
each of the following vegetables ::
sugar beets, cabbage, cauliflower.
and celery, while the remainder
Is to be divided into tracts that
will be devoted to the raising of
various other crops. A woven
wire fence, four feet high, will
be used to enclose the farm
and the borders of the entire
piece will be sown in sweet peas
and other flowers, while drive
ways will extend all through the
farm. All the local real estate
men Joined the organization and
paid an initiation fee of fifty
dollars each. The services of an
expert gardener, Owen ID. Will
lams, have been secured and the
gentlemen will now be able to
demonstrate effectively the value
of our fertile soil when properly
cultivated and irrigated.
This undertaking on the part
of our real estate men is an
example of that progressive pub.
lie spiritedness which has brought
many a community to the front
ranks of popular favor and pros
rerity, and every citizen of the
town should give them all
possible aid in carrying out the
good work.-Alamosa Courier.

GOOD ROADS

The movement for good roads
seems to be spreading to every
section of the state 1t is a
movement that means much to the
future development of Colorado.
The use of the autombile is IN
creasing to such an extern that
it will be in few years, one of
the commonest mc;,nS OF travel.
Good roads will make every sec
.ion of the state easily accessible,
even though they possess no rail
roads.
More than that, good roads to
eve"y section of the state will at
tract tourists literally by thous
anIs. Motoring is an attractive
sport, even in sections possessing
no scenic beauty. But with good
roads through the mountains,
Colorado would become the mo-
torist's paradise. Added to the
exhiliration of motoring in and
for itself, the lovers OF the sport
would be enabled to feast their
eyes on the most beautiful and
inspiring scenery in the world
and to breathe their lungs full
of Colorado's pure life-giving air
Every dollar spent in this state
on improving the roads will come
back within the next few years
multiplied by ten from the money
spent by tourists, to say nothing
of the literally millions that will
be saved to the farmers of the
state through the time and power
saved in hauling their products
over good instead of over bad
roads.-Pueblo Chieftain.

A NATION OF DEPENDENTS

Nlnety-seven per cent of those
who die in the United States
have no real or personal property
to bequeath and are business fail
ures. Meyer Harrison, who says
that he is not a pessimist, makes
that averment. A large percent
age are not possessed of assets
sufficiently large to meet the cost
of their interment. Most men
delude themselves with the notion
that they are physically immor-
tai; that although others may
pass away they will live. This
dreamy contentment, akin to that
known to lotus-eaters. accounts
for the habit of procrastination,
failure to make provision for old
age, neglect of postcrity.
John ID. Rockefeller advised all
who wished to get rich to set
aside part of their wages, no
matter how small the wage. Live
on half what you make" said
the King of kerosene. But it is
impossible for most persons to
follow the advice of Mr.. Rckefel-
ler. Mr.. Harrison says that,
according to the 1900 census,
nearly 33 per cent of the 1864
900 families in the United States
had an average income of less
than $400 a year Only 71a per
cent had an annual income of
from l,S00 to $4,000 year, and
only 5 per cent had an income
of over $1,000 per annum per
family.
Pauperism is increasing in some
parts of the country. Pauperism,
mendicancy and vagrancy have
been felt in communities for many
centuries. But they can be large
ly eliminated by the efforts of
individuals who are approaching
condition of dependence. Habits
of thrift, the placing of savings
in reliable banks and the buying
of life insurance can help mitigate
the financial hardships that now
descend on most families when
the head of the household dies.

THE JOKE OF THE DAY

The one amusing feature of the

that al Colorado wants him. -

mand the people of the state
are making of the Eighteenth
general assembly," that "none
other of our citizens is so well
fitted, so capable, so deserving
as he, " etc, etc, and yet, in
spite of all this crystalized sen
timent" in his behalf, he has
never received more than the
one vote. However, Carringer is
to be commended for his staying
qualities, the only question now
being, how long will he stand
after the Times quits and goes
over to Speer, which it is prepar-
ing to do?
