."Dairying in Color ado"

At the Commercial club rooms
last Tuesday, Mr.. j. A. Pierce. the
atfable farmer north of town, read
a splendid paper on "Dairying in
Colorado" outlining in brief the
why's and whorefores of the bust
ness, presenting his case in such
Nm attractive light that all were
entertained who heard it.
The second paper vas by T. g.
Demaray, entitled "Competition
vs.. Co-Operation,'' in which the
author endeavored to show that
competition. was the factor in the
upbuilding Of a town rather than
cooperation. While the paper was
excellent, Mr.. Demaray did not
prove that his theory was correct,
yet it afforded much food for
thought among his auditors.
