Nearly every section of the Park

There was a great variety of cos
tunes in evidence. Clowns, sailors
and cowboys were numerous. We
were not aware that Young Monte
Blevins was an uncle, but he made
good Uncle Sam at the ball. New

it is reported that he has the girls
beat when it comes to tight lacing,
w. F. Hankins really made very
cute little girl, and we will have to
give it to Mrs. Hankins as having the
neatest costume of ALL. Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Wilson as Buster Brown
and Mary Jane were the cutest little
couple in the hall, with frankie Han
hins as Tige. Jimmie Peterson made
real good Wear y Willie and had
the time piece right with him. Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Siebert personating
some foreign Prince and Princess
were swell, and even Doctor Henry
Fischer was there as some kind of
a Jester. The devil was also present

Fort Collins, Colorado, /,

The coming season will see
farm in this vicinity operated by rep
resentatives of the Fort Collins cham.
ber of commerce and the Colorado
agricultural college. A proositio has
bee made by the authorities of the
agricultural college to the chamber
of commerce and that body has ap-
pointed committee to take up this
matter. The committee is at work
seeking location and preparing plans
for the venture. An effort will be
made to demonstrate what san be
done in the way of intensive farming.
This is recognized to be the proper
way to farm in this advonced day of
farming. The Agricultural college {
will show that where something is
returned to the soil for that which is
taken away and that if suitable seed
is used the results will be far in ad-
vance of the most sanguine expecta-
tions. Below is given the PROPOSE
tion made to the public by the college
COOPERATIVE DEMONSTRATION
The Colorado Agricultural College
will co operate in the establishment
of demonstration farms or fields on
one of the following plans:
First-Wherever any commercial
association, a community, corporation
or Individual wishes us to CO operate
with them we will do the following
under our direction. We would not
want to bother with less than ten
acres, nor would we want more than
one farm or field in any one localityl
In order to assure resultas it would
not be worth while to undertake CO.
operation on either of the above plans
for less than three years, except in
rare instances.
We believe that these demonstra-
tions farms or. fields would prove of
the greatest value as an object les
son which will be sufficient to pay
all dEots. with the exception of the
bonded Indebtedness.
The following were elected direc-
tors: A A. Edwards, Fort Collins;
S. H. Shields and F. B. Briggs, Den
yer; J. c. Ewing, s. H. Southard. and
D. B. Wyatt, Greeley; o. J. Blandis,

Berlin, July 25.-The German gov

LAURIER DEFIES
RECIPROCITY FOES
Canadian Premier Demands
Immediate Action by Do

MAY APPEAL TO COUNTRY
Threatens to Do So Unless Obstruc-
tiOnists Cease Their Tactics
in the Commons.

Ottawa, Ont. July 25.-Sir WilsrlG
Laurier, prime minister of Canada,
fatty notified the opposition in the
house of commons that unless OBJ
struetions to a vote on reciprocity
were abated and the government per
mitted TO pass it he would appeal
to the country in a general election.
Both sides received the declaration
with cheers and a lively political
shindy followed, each maneuvering
for advantage.
w. s. Middleboro, conservative
member for North Grey, Ont, started
the ball rolling by complaining that
the government was seeking TO rep
resent the opposition as forcing an
election before the west receives by
enactment of a parliamentary Tedis-
tribution bill the increased repre-
sentation to which its increased pop
ulation entities it in the house. The
west expects to gain % or 80 seats.
LAURIER DEMANDS ACTION.
Arising amid applause from the
treasury benches, Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier replied:
My honorable friend arose to con-
vince the house and the country that
the opposition is not obstructing the
reciprocity agreement which has
been before the house for six months
Yet he says let reciprocity wait If
he is not obstructing, why should
not reciprocity go on? We don't
want reciprocity to wait
I'VE have heard the same argu-
ment ad nauseum. One of the most
respected members Of the house pre-
faced his remarks the other day by
saying there was nothing new to be
said upon the question, yet he took
three hours TO say it, Redistribu-
ton is not before the house, neither
is the census, but the reciprocity
agreement is and We can go on
with il.
OPPOSITION IS DEFIED.

vent an election, let it go on with
reciprocity and there will be no

this matter.
we are before the people, and If
government becomes a farce there
are judges over US. Surely these
gentlemen do not object to an eelc-
ton. When we say we do not OBJ
