Cost 70 Raise a Cow.

Comparisons are odious, and
statistics are dry; but we cannot
get away from the fact that we
are indebted to these for many
of the improvements enjoyed by
this generation. The Unite d
States Bureau of Agriculture en-
ploys men of patience and with
love for investigation to work out
tables of costs in order that farm
ers may be enlightened upon
questions of interest.
Data obtained from raising III
calves from the moment of birth
to maturity shows that in the
North it costs for feed and labor,
an average of $42.52 to raise a
dairy calf scrub or high grade to
the age of one year, or $61.41 to
the age Of two years. No one
farmer could determine this cost,
because practically every pound
of grass, hay, grain, milk, and
hours of labor were strictly ac-
counted for. In addition to all
this, the value of the manure was
calculated and credited to the an
imal producing it. We are ac-
customed to consider the grass,
acorns, roots, an d everything
that an animal gathers, as cost
ing nothing. This is far from
being true. The land on which
they were gathered cost money.
The interest, taxes and even a
few hours of your time represent
either actual cash or its equiva-
lent, and we cannot get away
from the fact that a dairy COW
costs over $50 by the time she is
ready to give milk. This being
the case it is evident that it nev-
er pays to raise a COW that will
sell for less than $50 when she is
two years old. Why raise scrubs
when there is the present de-
mand for thoroughbred cows
worth $50 to $100?

A Nice Party.

The young folks and some not
so young chad a great time in
Wells Valley during the evening
of April 18th. Between seventy
five and one hundred friends of
Elsie Akin surprised her by meet
ing at her home on that evening
to celebrate her lone dozenth"
birthday. We cannot begin to
tell of all the fun they had, nor
of all the good things they had
to eat. If we ever get a flying
machine, we hope the young peo-
pile Of, Wells will then give us an
invitation to fly over there and
have a little fun with them.

Held a Big Prayer Meeting.

The large number of attend
ants at the Sunday School and
Glass meeting of the M. E. church
at Knobsville last Sunday march
ed to the home of Mrs. William
Ashwell who is very ill with
pneumonia, and quietly held a
prayer meeting which was so
greatly enjoyed by Mrs. Ashwell
that she desires the NEWS to pub
licly thank the kind friends and
neighbors who were so thought
full of her in her helpless condi-
tion. She feels very much re-
freshed, both spiritually and
physically, and trusts that her
friends of that day may share
the blessings that came to her
and her family as a result of the
Christian act.

WATER DRINKING.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

Civilized man Throughout the
world has learned the necessity
of eating at fixed times of the
day and with some variety of
frequency and interval has ar
ranged his daily life accordingly.
He does not, however, seem to
appreciate that to maintain health
it is equally essential to drink
freely of pure water. The med
ical profession fully realizes, and
every physician in active pfac-
tice has it impressed upon him
almost daily, that there is an in
sufliciency of water drunk by the
majority of men and women.
Water is needed to aid the work.
ing of organs of digestion and
for the requirements of circula-
ton. 1t is needed to replace the
water that the body constantly
loses through the skin and lungs
as well as through the kidneys.
1t is needed no less to help in
the solution and removal of va
rious substances which form in
the body and are harmful if al
lowed to remain long or in a con-
centrated form. To satisfy these
demands a healthy man or wo-
man should drink a pint of pure
water, at temperature of about
60 degrees, upon awakening in
the morning, another pint an
hour before the midday meal, a
pint before the last meal of the
day, and still another before re- &.
tiring for the night providing it
is at least three hours after eat
ing.
Flooding the stomach with wa
ter at meals is most injurious.
Much ice water is highly irrita-
ting to the mucous membrane of
the stomach. Taken with meals
it often arrests the working of
the digestive glands and causes
an acute Indigestion that fire.
quently proves very serious with
the delicate an aged. The habit
Of drinking water should be as
regular as that of eating. Liq-
lid foods and various beverages
will not take the place of pure
water or only to a very limited
extent. Babies need it and are
apt to suffer for the want of wa
,er given at regular intervals.
Finally, it is worth remember
ng that the free drinking of wa
,er is one of the greatest deter
'ents to the abuse of alcohol.

Menace and Nuisance.

Menace and Nuisance.
The small army of gypsies thai
passed through this place about
two weeks ago struck a snae
when they reached Everett. Re.
calling the depredations of last
summer by this or a similar band
the officers Of Everett asked the
leaders to show a license to camp
in the county. AS was expected
no license could be shown, and
several of the leaders were ar
rested and taken before the Bur-
CESS who fined them $50 and
costs making a total cost to the
Gyps of $50. This had the de-
sired effect and, after a short
stop at Mt. Dallas, the unwashed
nomads pulled up stakes and de-
camped for more healthy dis
tricts.
Far be it from us to inhict
needless hardships upon an y
thing into which God has put the
breath Of life; but this county
has suffered at the hands of these
rowing bands. The whole of the
summer is before us, and there
is no telling bow soon a raid may
be made on victims, similar to
that made last summer. Under
conditions like that it is but right
that we should protect our peo-
pie by invoking a good law placed
on our statute books in 1909.
Act Of General Assembly, No.
2l7, P. L. AIS, approved on the
sixth day of May 1909, is, part,
as follows:
Section l. Be it enacted, &C.,
That after the passage of this act
it shall be unlawful for any row.
ing band or bands of nomads,
commonly called gypsies, or any
person or persons composing such
bands, to pitch or settle its or
their encampment, or carry on
its or their business or transac-
tions, or practice their craft,
within the limits of any county
of this State, unless they or some
of them shall first obtain from
the county treasurer of the prop
er county license for such band
or bands to pitch or settle its or
their encampment, or carry on
its or their business, or practice
their craft, in said county, for
which shall be paid, by the per-
son applying for such license to
the county treasurer, the sum of
fifty dollars $3.50, for the use of
said county, and an additional
fee Of fifty cents to the said coun-
ty treasurer for his fee for the
issuing of the same, &c.
Section two of this act provides
penalties for the refusal OF the |
Gyps to comply with the law.
Their property may be seized, |
and, by due process of law, sold
to satisfy the amount of fine
which is never less than fifty nor
more than one hundred dollars.
Any citizen may demand to see
the license to camp and may make
information before any justice of
the peace if the gypsies refuse to
show the license. We will con-
tinue to be pestered with these
dangerous creatures just as long
as our citizens permit them to
rove unmolested to prey upon the
lnsophsticated and the super
people found in every
community. While any citizen
nay make information against
,hese bands, it is the duty of the
proper officials to see to it that
he gypsies have the license.

.COLORAD0|S THE SAFEST
PLACE IN WHICH TO INVEST
In Answer to the KockS of the MuCkTakeS, Denver & Rio
Sends Out Emphatic Statement mo State in Union Of
fers Better Business Opportunities.

Denver, Feb. Especial to The
Sentinel colorado is the safest
place in which to engage in business
of any section of the United States,
according to a statement now being
sent out to the east by the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad company.
There have been so few business fail
ures here within the past several
years that the figures showing COM
parsons between Colorado and other
states bring joy to the heart .of the
business man who is depending on
Colorado trade for his livelihood.
During the year 1911, Colorado
had only 20 business failures against
1872 in Alabama; 210 in Arkansas;
$50 in California; 167 in Florida;
173 in Oregon; 173 in Maine; 207
in Kansas; 1923 in Montana. and 1914
in Oklahoma. This showing has been
equally good every year for the past
dozen years. Other states in the
west with a smaller population than
Colorado, have more business fail
ures than We every year, as, for ex-
ample, Montana and Oregon, and
states in the east that have fewer in
habitants than Colorado also exceed
this state in the number of business
failures. AS an example of this

MURDER OF PRETTY GIRL
IN KANSAS IS DEEP
MYSTERY.

Associated Press.
Hutchinson, Kans., Feb. 24.-Be-
ing unable to find any motive for the
murder in the case of Miss Edna
Nelson, the 25-year-old ward of the
late DR.. E. E. Richardson. and hav-
ing practically no clues to lead to
the identity of the strange man who
was seen at the Richardson home a
few hours before the girl was found
dying with a bullet in her brain, the
officers today admit that they are lit
tie nearer the solution of the mystery
than they were last Sunday.
1t became known today that DR..
Richardson had wife, from whom
he was not divorced, living at Ru-
pert, Ida, and who was named as a
legatee.
To support their contention that
the girl committed suicide, the sis
ter and others point to the fact that
there was strange affection exist
ing between the girl and the aged
physician.

reports concerning this state. 1t is
to the interest of every person and
every business firm and corporation
in the state to have Colorado enjoy
excellent repute in financial circles
in this country and in Europe, and
the statement. accompanied by pos
tive data from reliable credit agen-
cies and government bureaus sent
out by the Denver & Rio Grande rail-
road is intended to be part of
the campaign of that company to
bring new settlers and additional
capital to this state.
There has been a tendency among
persons in financial circles in the
east to consider Colorado poor
locality in which to invest for the
reason that a great many residents
of the state have given out state
ments to the effect that business
conditions here were dominated by
various malign influences and bust
ness failure was the rule rather than
the exception.
According to the showing made by
the commercial agencies and gov
eminent reports, and sent out by
the Denver & Rio Grande, the situa-
ton in Colorado with respect to bust
ness failures is much better than
any other state in the Union This
showing will go long way toward
restoring confidence in Colorado in
vestments and stimulating immigra-
ton to this state and disproving the
truth of many knocks against Col
orado which have been printed
throughout the state.
