Griefs bitterest foe is abroad in the land and headed this way. It is Seven Days and it will be at the Jefferson theatre next Monday. It has won the title of conquerer of melancholy and champion of merriment in series of knockout hits in New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities, and hods it against all corners. Its equal for laghter has yet to show up. Seven Days,' comedy by Mary Roberts Rne- hart and Avery Hopwood, occupies q mo- table place in present day theatricals.

Wonderful San Luis Valley

With its countless avenues of
reward for industry, the San Luis
Valley has been aptly termed the
valley of Opportunity"
Colorado, as state, stands in a
class by itself, and so does the San
Luis valley occupy position
among the agricultural sections of
the state.
At an elevation of over 1000
feet above sea level, it is blessed
with an unmatchable climate.
Among its assets is the underlying
artesian water, pure and sparkling;
above is the ever-present, smiling
turquoise sky.
Soil conditions in the San Luis
valley are extremely adaptable to
grain and root crops, and the rails
ing and fattening of live stock is
here found to be a reliable and
profitable occupation.
To the congested sections in the
East the Valley yet offers cheap

and productive land-and the cry
is for more settlers on the land.
The Valley is one hundred miles
long from North to South, and
sixty miles wide, level as house
floor, with, of course gentle slope
to the East and South.
The San Luis Valley is crossed
diagonally from Northwest to
Southeast by the Rio Grande river,
the same stream which thousand
miles to the South forms the
boundary between Texas and Old
Mexico.
Land about Monte Vista sells
from $40 to 1925 an acre, depend
ing upon soil, drainage, water
rights, etc.
San Luis valley farmers are
never in dread of cyclone, flood,
nor pest, and crop failures are I'M
known.
Irrigation as practised here, is
soon learned and easily applied.
