The United States Bureau Of

personal visitation of many insti-
tutions and data secured from a
large number of educational ex-

he gives 60 institutions. OF these

Denver University is placed in
Glass 2" which requires tina; II
is necessary to work two extra
years for the masters degree. and
Colorado College is classed between

When 1t comes to attaching an ad
jective to the word Republican"
declared Mr.. Fuller, there is no
adjective that can be attached and
strengthen the appellation in the
Least. The word Republican stands
for progress, reform, prosperity and
a protective taiff, and there is moth
inng further that can be said TO
add amy lustre or meaning to the
word. If all parts of the state and
nation could be as enthusiastic in

mittee explained why the mill levy
collections could not be used to
continue this experimental work
and Mr.. Leddy withdrew all OBJ
jections.
Mayor Speer suggests that if an
extar session is held for the pur-
pose of eleoting a United States
senator, Democracy owes it to the
state TO pay the additional expense
of that extra session. Under the
same reasoning does not the Dem
ocracy owe the state about $780,
600? Since that party came into
power in Colorado the Legislature
has been i'm session 2S7 days at an
approximate cost of $1,000 per
day. No one will claim that II
could not have performed the work
in 81 days. When Democracy re-
funds the amount that it really
owes then will the people be will
ing to admit of her genuine re-
formation.

Lamar Walfops Rocky Ford

Leaving their wives and children
at home. the husky Lamar football
players journeyed up to Rocky Ford
Saturday and cleaned up the local
team to a score of 33 to o. The
game was one sided from the be-
ginning. The Rocky Ford high
school boys never had a chance with
the bearded men they had to run
up against. The Lamar players
weighed about fifty pounds to
man more than the local players
and some of them have been play
ing football for years. A good
crowd saw part of the game. but
most of them left before the
slaughter was over.-Rocky Ford

State Capital Notes

During the week Mayor Robert
w. Speer addressed letter to
Senator Napier in which he stated
that he believed an extra session
of the assembly should be called
for the purnose of selecting Il
that in his opinion all men who
were candidates before the regu-
lar session should be eliminated
and he further said that If the
finances of the state were in such
shape that the expense of the ex-
ira could not be met. then the
Democratic state organization could
well afford to pay all the costs
rather than have the present BIZ
ennial term end without Democracy
having elected a United States SEN
ator.
The letter of Mr.. Speer is issued
for two purposes. First: To place
his position before the people of
the state and second. to place Gov
ernor Shafroth in n position where
II he does not call the extra. the
Speer wing OF Democracy can claiia
that the governor is responsible
for no senator having been chosen.
Mayor Speer concludes his letter
as follows:
During the regular session of
the Legislature had the honor
of receiving as many votes rs all
the other candidates combined. and
was always ready to go into a party
caucus and abide by its decision.
but no one was elected. and I
would now suggest that you elimi-
nate all the candidates who were
before the regular session and elect
some new man. Ii you cannot ges
a special session. let those who are
responsible for It's failure to meet
assume the responsibility.
A special session could speed
lily settle the senatorial question.
No member of the legislature would
receive any additional salary. and
the cost could be kept down to n
normal amount Our party organ
ization could we'll afford to pay
all cost rather than have no ac-
tion taken in this matter.
Very truly yours.

The Great Western Sugar company

Donald of the Republican party

state and hold conferences with
those who represent the agricul-

AN ALL-AMERICAN FERTILIZER.

The field force of the United States
Geological Survey is prosecuting search
es Tor deposits of minerals which shall
furnish the three necessary elements of
plant food that are contained in "com-
piete fertilizer" namely, phosphate
rock, nitrate salts, and potash salts.
The Survey has already discovered and
surveyed enormous deposits of phos-
phate rock, and 2,39s, $50 acres of pub
lie land containing phosphate. with
drawn at the recommendation of the
Geological Survey, are now waiting leg
lslatlon by Congress to enable their de-
velopment. In order, however. to in
sure an "all-American" fertilizer, re-
CARELESS of importations from other
countries, it remains to discover depos-
It's of nitrate of soda and potash salts.
AS both of these minerals are readily
soluble and are not to be found as cont
crops" like ordinary rocks. the mission
OF the Survey is not an easy one. Never
theiess, it is believed that the geologic
conditions prevailing throughout large
portion of the arid West favored the ac-
cumulation, during the earlier periods
OF the earth's history, of both of these
salts and that if these still exist in con-
centrated deposits it is only a question
Of search to discover them. Hardly
anything could be suggested which
would be of greater assistance to the
American farmer than the discovery of
commercial deposits of either of these
necessary fertilizing minerals.

N IN. W Advertising Club, Julius
Schneider, for some time adver-
Using manager of 1.-THE Fair" of Chi
cago, and one of the best known retail
advertising men in the country, gave a
lecture on THE Next Evolution in Ad-
vertising." He stated that, in his opin-
ion, this was the awakening of local ad-
vertisers to the absolute necessity for
high grade advertising service such as
had made fortunes for the large stores
in the big cities. He advised the mer-
chants in each locality to join forces and
engage the best advertising talent on
cooperative basis, and pointed out that
this really must happen in a very short
period as a natural advance of the
times.
Mr.. Schneider and others, evidently
do not know that this evolution towards
high grade special service has been TAX
ing place for some time. 1t began with
what are called Cut Services" That
is, an engraving house in one of the big
ger cities would get out number of
more or less comic advertising cuts,
wretchedly drawn by 9. ts..ssssi.-rate artist.
which it sold to retailer, sometimes
with little advertising matter, in a
series of 20 or 81, one cut for each week
in the year.
While this was all educative, and as
such deserves some credit, it has prob
ably done more harm amongst retailers.
to the value of real publicity, than any
thing else.
There are great many of my read
ers who now have boxes of such cuts
lying around their stores with no clear
idea of what to do with them, and even
yet those small cut services" are be-
ing sold to deluded merchants by glib
travelling statesmen.
Another herald OF the new special re-
tail advertising was the local writer.
He is also evoluting. He has been get
ting better every year till now, in some
ways, he is quite accomplished. In the
majority of cases, however, the local ad
writer has been somewhat like "Our
Johnnie" who has won a prize for
drawing b'goshl and who forthwith
blossoms out into a famous artistic
cally. This class of publicity has like
wise done its share in giving the retail
merchant cold feet. The local adver-
tisement writer has been mostly shin
ing example of the trite saying "a little
knowledge is dangerous thing"
The next phase in the evolution was
one that bid fair to solve all difficulties.
About year or two ago a famous ar
fist, who had made a reputation for a
comic series of newspaper pictures, was
induced to draw his comics into adver-
tisements. These were syndicated in
electrotype form all through the United
States and Canada to all classes of re-
tailers, the large quantity sold of each
electrotype making it possible to quote
extremely low prices to the local mer-
chants. That was the next rise in grade
from the old comic cuts of the local en-
gravers, because these drawings were
we'll done by first class artist of ac-
knowledged standing.
We have now advanced one step fur
Their. The idea that it is necessary to
have comic drawing to attract atten-
ton is exploded. AS a matter of fact.
