sands OF Dollars are
Wasted

Thousands of dollars could be
saved the state IL the roads already
built were kept in proper shape
Thousands more could be utilized
In building new roads II contracts
were let to small bidders instead Of
to a political contractors ring. Edu-
eating the people to care for the
roads already in existence is even
more important than building more
roads.
"The easiest job man with a
team can get in the county is on
the roads. He comes a long dis
tance, works few hours and
charges pretty much what he
pleases. The work should be let
out under contract and under prop
er supervision.
Thousands of dollars have been
charged up to the roads of Colora-
do for which there is no visible
sign in results.
1.-THE aim OF the present state
highway commission is to cooper
ate with county commissioners in
doing the best thing for the state" "
This is the platform and lineup
Of the road situation in Colorado.
according to State Highway Com
missioner W. NJ. Wiley.
1--WE are not seeking to antagon-
lie, but to work with everyone in
terested in good roads," he said.
Draining roads properly and re-
pairing them is the need Of the Col
orado highway system today. We
propose to assist every county as
much as we can, through our office.
For instance. short time ago bids
were let. in lump, for bridge in
Fort Morgan. They mounted up to
about $4,000. The state engineer
looked into the matter BY follow
ing his suggestion to let bids out to
small contractors. the county has
succeeded in cutting that sum to
$4,000.

Dangers From Barley

In some of the western states,
and particularly in Colorado. barley
is raised to considerable extent
From the standpoint of food va
lue, barley contains trifle less nj
trogenous or muscle building ma
terial than oats and a trifle more
than corn.
The grain is fed either whole or
ground. In some localities this
ground barley is called barley chop.
Barley chop, when fed to grow
ing and fattening pigs, usually COM
bined with ground corn and milk,
proves a very excellent feed.
Ground barley combined with
other feed has been reported as ex-
cellent feed for the dairy COW.
To horses 1t is sometimes fed
whole or ground, alone. or mixed
with oats or wheat bran. While
from q nutrive standpoint We must
commend it, yet there is danger in
feeding it to work horses.
II through some cause normal
digestion, either In the stomach OF
large intestines. stops. an unnatur-
al fermentation takes place. Gases
are sometimes formed in the stom-
ach which SO distend that organ
that rupture may take place before
the veterinarian can use q stomach
tube. Belching Indicates that the
stomach is greatly distended with
gas. In the large intestines this
same process may go on. Tapping
to allow the escape OF gas and
drugs to stop the fermentation of
ten does not act quickly enough
There ID also another phase, ant

to gas formed, which when alb

VALUABLE
CITY LOT
CONTESTED
AGED COLONlST MAY LOSE HER
PROPERTY IN ODD WAY
DEED WAS IN COUSINS NAME
Miss Judson Discovers That His
Widow Believes She Owns the
Property Next to City Lii
brary Building

Neglecting to record a property
deed in her own name may cause
Miss Judson, a Union Colonist, to
lose a lot next to the city hall now
valued at $4,000. When she pur-
chased it for $50 in 1881 she had
the deed recorded in the name of
Willard P. Alternately, a cousin in
Connecticut.
Not wishing to let her friends
know of the purchase, she instruct
ed the county clerk to record it in
Abernathy's name, believing 1t
would be a mere matter OF form to
have him convey it back to her.
She put this off, and the years slip
ped by, Miss Judson paying all taxes
and assessments on the property.
Recently the cousin died and the
Greeley woman remembered she
had told him nothing of the trans
action and had practically relin.
Quished her property. Alternately
had married and his widow was 6
stranger to the Greeley woman
Miss Judson Immediately wrote hel
and the widow answered that she
wished to investigate, intimatint
that her husband was legal owner o
the property.
The fact that Mr.. Alternately hac
been interested in Greeley propert.
gave weight to the widows opinion
and forced Miss Judson to star
legal proceedings. Summons will b.
served on Mrs. Alternately to com
into court and assert her claims
while the aged Greeley woman mus
do the same. Miss Judson came her
with the Union Colony.

TRAGEDIES OF
BIRDLAND ARE
like HUMANS
Sparrows Rob Daddy Robin Will.
Robins Put Marauding Squirrel
to Flight

Tragedies in bird land seem to be
about as often as among humans
A story of Spartan bird parents
killing their young at the State
Teachers college entrance recently
appearing in the Tribune has caused
many to watch the feathered inhabi'
tants of their premises with renew
ed interest. AS a result of this OBJ
servation several bird stories have
been reported to the Tribune.
That sparrOws occasionally pur-
sue Robin Hood tactics was demon,
strated in one yard in Greeley few
evenings ago. A robin that had un'
earthed gold mine of fat worms
had bunch of them in his mouth
and was carefully making his way
home to his family, apparently ex'
pecting a hearty supper before re,
firing for the night.
Two sparrows spied him.. Shrek
ing shrilly to their comrades fol
aid the little highwaymen swooped
down on Mr.. Robin about dozen
strong. They forced him t. droI
the worms before driving him away
Then the hungry little band of des,
peradoes made a meal on the pro
vender intended for the Robin fam,
lily.
The robins will put up a fight
too, IL molested, according to story
that comes from the south end OF
town. 1t appears that little
squirrel had spotted a robins nest
and had made up his mind that
there might be pickings there. He
ventured to invade at the wrong
time, however, as one Of the robins
was nearby. The bird sounded
peculiar call of distress, which was
responded to by nearly dozen
other robins. The flock went after
Mr.. Squirrel. who was lucky to es,
cape with his eyesight unimpaired
He soon realized he was up against
the real thing and beat it uncere'
moniously.

SPUDS SOARING AND NO
RELIEF Is IN SIGHT

Going up? Yes, and then some.
Potatoes are higher right now than
summer girls fancies.
Around the Sc mark right now is
the toothsome tuber and small
fortune could be loaded into an or
dinary grocery wagon.
PotatOes have been scarce on the
market for some weeks. There is
sCarcity in Texas, Oklahoma, Kan
sas md the other states where Col
orado generally gets their supply
at his season of the year and hence
the shortage.
4 few weeks ago the dealers de-
pended ON the California crop which
is IN the market, but the spuds
from the Golden Gate didn't get
this way. They are going East at
fancy figures right by our door and
today and every day for weeks per-
haps the market will jump, say the
commission men.
In the restaurants at Denver they
have decided to charge for all po-
tatOes served with meat orders. No
more will they be included" Such
yaluabie commodity have the
things that made Ireland famous
become that they are carefully
ruarded in the commission houses,
and to buy them at any figure you
have to have a pull" as long as
chicago alderman.
But worst OF all there seems to
be no potatoes in nearer sight than
those that are just now waving
their bannerettes in the gardens
and ranches under the Colorado
sunshine. These growing potatoes
seem to have the call and II they
only knew how badly We need them
they would understand why they
are as tenderly guarded as a prima
donLa's voice at the height Of the
season.
There are few Wisconsin spuds
in the market Of the last year crop
and they are selling at IS hun
dred poundD. The retailers are
selling At around 6 cents a pound.
This leaves little room for loss or
deterioration and the dealers don't
seem to care whether they handle
them or not.

GRAHAM GETS
HALF He ASKED

In the right Of way suit in the
district court Wednesday the jury
brought in q verdict allowing James
G. Graham $4,271 for 6.2S acres Of
land and for removing the building
affected by taking the land by the
Denver, Laramie e Northwestern
Railroad company. Mr. Graham had
asked $500 for the land and dam
ages to the residue and for remov-
ing the buildings.
The verdict was a victory for the
railroad company, considering that
ltMr. Adame had rendered an offer Of
1880, which offer required the
railroad company to put In a siphon
for water. which the jury estimated
At $3.50, making the total offer by
the railroad company $3.50. ~
against the verdict Of 34.271. which
requires Mr.. Graham to put in the
siph0n from the allowance.
Tho verdict amounts to . loss Of
$33S to Mr. Graham, besides some
costs and his attorneys fees.

Raising Child
Prodigies Easy

Boston, June 3O.-How to raise a
race Of child prodigies ready 70,
college 1t IL Is explained by Prof.
Boris sidis of Harvard college. in
an essay he has just written. Pro-
fessor sidis' son. now 13. has Just
completed his second year at Har-
yard.
"As long as the home is dominat-
ed by commercial ideals, the school
will turn out mediocre trGdesmen,"
saws Professor Sidis. What won-
der that the child OF 10 and II can
hardly read or write. are little
brutes and waste away their pre-
cious life in the close, dusty. over
heated rooms Of the early grades of
some elementary school.
There Is = period in the child's
life between the ages of five and
ten, when he is very inquisitive.
Everything should be open to the
child's searching interest. The spir-
1t Of inquiry, the genius of man is
more sacred than any abstract be-
lief, dogma and creed. l appeal to
you, fathers and mothers and to
you, liberal-minded readers, asking
you to turn your statement to the
education of your children, to the
training of young generations of
future citizens. do not appeal to
our official educators. to the clerks
of our teaching shops for they are
beyond all hope.
"The' present school system
squanders the resources of the
country and wastes the energies
and the lives Of our children. The
school system should be abolished
and with 1t should go the present
psychologicizing educator, the
school master and the school
'mafln.'
Being in a barbaric stage we
are afraid of thought. We are un-
der the erroneous belief that think
ing and study causes nervousness
and mental disorders. We do not
take care to develop love of
knowledge in our children's early
life for fear OF brain injury and
then when 1t is too late to acquire
the interest we force them to study
and we cram them and feed them
and stun them like geese. What
you often get is fatty degeneration
of the mental liver"

Hutchinson, Kan. women yester-

chinson Methodist church. The
congregation of the church since it's
organiaatiOn has held its meetings
at the town hall. The women of the
church raised money enough to pay
for the actual construction work but
not enough to pay the laborers to
dig the basement. So they formed
