TO
WATCH PHONE co.

The Colorado Telephone company
was last week placed under the jur-
isdiction of the interstate commerce
commission under an order issued in
Washington on March 20. The order
applied to all telephone and tele-
graph companies doing an interstate
business.
The same rules and regulations
regarding the granting of rebates.
the issuing of franks and the making
of rates will in the future apply to
the telephone and telegraph COM
panies the same as to the railroads.
These companies will be required to
make reports to the commission, file
tariffs and be subject to it's supervis-
ion. The commission will have the
power to determine what are just
telephone rates and to regulate the
same.
Officers of the Colorado Telephone
said yesterday that its af-
fairs have been 30 conducted in the
past that the new order will have no
effect on its policies.

Seed Grain Suggestions

Have you any choice seed grain
for sale, or will you need seed?
II you have any good seed grain,
you should send a sample to your
state experiment station. stating
how much you have and the price
you want for it. Your name will be
listed and sent to those who ask for
good seed.
If you need good seed, ask the
state experiment station where to
get it and what 1t will cost
If you produce your own seed
grain, it is important to select it
early out of the best part of the crop
and take good care Of It.
You should never fail to use q
good tanning mill. selecting only the
heaviest and plumpest kernals of
good body for sowing, and avoid
planting shriveled and dwarfed ker-
nels. Wheat, oats, barley and rye
seed may be best prepared by fan
ming mills, which separate by size
and by weight. by means OF screens
and wind blast. A good tanning mill,
PiOPCAiy uoCus Will tAdu pay
for itself in a single season.
If your seed appears to be mixed
or falling OF in yield. it will pay you
to get pure bred seed of the best
strain adapted to your soil and eli
mate. If you have any doubt as to
what varieties to plant, write the
state experiment station and ask
them which will do best in your soil
and climate.
Are you testing your seed for ger
, minating qualities? 1t is a simple
matter. and the state experiment
station will send you full directions
for doing 1t at nome.
Do not waste your time in sowing
new varieties Except on a small
tract as an experiment) unless your
state experiment station recon-
mends them. You cannot afford to
take the chances. Let the expert
ment station do the testing of new
varieties and learn the results from
them.

Closing the festivities of the first
celebration of Insignia day at the
Normal, number of picnics and
beefsteak frys were held Thursday
afternoon by parties of the stu
dents. The day was ideal for the
celebration which was such a pleas
Ing success in every way that It ia
probable that the day will be OBJ
served in a similar manner each
year.
For many years the first appear
ance OF the seniors in their caps and
gowns has been made amid confus-
ion that at times amounted almost
to riot caused by the juniors. This
year 1t was decided by the entire
student body to make the dav one of
happiness which would leave only
pleasant memories.
The senior class program was
given in the chapel, with the class
poem, prophecy and will. The yari-
Gus classes gave their class songs
and yells but the most beautiful part
OF the program was the grand march
about the campus, lead by the COL
lege class in caps and gowns The
seniors In caps and gowns followed
after them came the juniors. the
girls wearing white dresses Flower
chains OF lavender ana white chrys-
were carried by the stu
dents during the march.

Estimates on the velocity of wind

OLD BAPTIST CHURCH BEING
MOVED TO ISLAND GROW

After having served for nearly 20
years as a place OF worship, the old
Baptist church adjoining the court
house on the west, is being moved to
Island Grove park where it will be
used as an exhibition hall at the
Weld county fair. The county ae-
quired the church in a recent pur-
chase OF real estate. At that time
it was bieng used as a moving pic
ture theatre, but fire broke out one
night after the performance was
over and since then the building has
been vacant.
The church is the oldest in Gree
ley. It's earliest records have been
lost or destroyed-at least they are
not available. The later records
show that many pioneers Of this sec
ton were among those who attended
the Sunday and midweek services.
The Rev. Mr.. Brown was the first
regular minister to occupy the pull
pit that recently has been occupied
by screen for a moving picture
show or a pair of vaudeville enter
tainers. Where the gospel was ex-
pounded for nearly 40 years, enter
tainment has been given during the
past year.
The old pews remained until the
end Of the buildings career ~ .
theatre. The interior always re-
mained for what it had been design
ed-a place of worship. Strangers
in the city were oftimes amused at
the appearance of the place after II
had been turned into a theatre.
There was no suggestion Of the
vaudeville house an any time.
Now the old building will serve
in another capacity. Like the
broken down fire horse, it lives on
and will be relegated to spheres not
SO exacting, but altogether useful.
Visitors to the fair next fall prob
ably will be entertained in brand
new manner by visiting the old
church-the first house OF worship
occupied by the Union colonists dur
ing their early days here.

WANT POSTAL BANK
ESTABLISHED HERE
Residents of Washington and
Vicinity Send Requests
to Trustees.

Residents of Washington. like those
of other cities, are beginning to i'm
perfume the trustees of the Postal Saw
ings Banks system for the establishment
of a bank here. Several residents of
the District have asked the Postoffice
Department to accept deposits, which
is, of course, impossible, and several
have trudged into the city from the
rural districts bringing their savings
with them. One of the strongest ad-
VOcateS of a postal savings bank for
Washington is a woman who has been
doing settlement work. among the ne
groeS.
Another woman. who without avail,
importuned the POstOffice Department
to receive her savings on deposit, has
since then written the department L
letter in which she called attention TO
two recent bank failures as indications
of the need of the Governments say
Jugs bank.
The postmaster at Frostburg, Md, re-
ported to the PostoffiCe Department
that persons in Washington and Baiti-
more had asked 20 be permitted to de-
pJsit money with the office, which Is
not permitted because no deposits will
be received by mail. Clifton Forge,
Va, reports that there have been no
unfavorable criticisms of the postal
savings bank.
