preached the baccalaureate to the

were scholarly, meaty and worth

just 80 minutes. The selection of a
baccalaureate speaker is always

COUNTESS
CATHLEEN
IS GREAT
CLASS PLAY OF STATE TEACH
ERS COLLEGE SENIORS WELL
LIKED BY LARGE AUDIENCE
LAST NIGHT AT STERLING

The class of 1912 at the State
Teachers college goes into history
as one of the most talented, from a
dramatic standpoint, ever graduat-
ing from the institution. Monday
evening at the Sterling theater the
class play was given before large
audience. 1.-The Countess Cath
leen", a verse drama by William
Butler Yeats, was the vehicle that
served to bring the talented stu
dents into the limelight.
While the play is not the most
cheerful sort, it gave ample scope
for the dramatic attainments or
the young player folk. The story Is
that the beautiful young countess.
after doing all she can to relieve
her famine stricken people, sells
her soul to the devil for enough
money to carry them through the
distressing time in comfort
The play was put on under the
direction of Miss Tobey, with that
attention to detail that marks her
work with the students. The stage
settings and costuming were COM
plete and historically accurate.
Leading parts were essayed by
Miss Bell as the countess, Miss Con-
dit as Aleal, the young bard who
loved the countess, Mr.. Hall and
Mr.. Leeper as demons disguised as
merchants. Most of the lines fell
to these characters, whose excellent
work was we'll supported by the
others of the large cast. At the
last moment it was necessary 1or
Miss Tobey to take small part in
the last act.
The proceeds of the play go to-
ward the purchase of the handsome
gate that will be the gift of the
seniors to the college.

COUNTY HERDS

Fort Lupton. May 2S.-Expert
Dairyman Martin of the State Ag-
rlcultural college has just complet-
ed his rounds on his monthly trip
Tor the Cow Testing association of
the county and made his reports on
the conditions of milk herds. The
dairymen are we'll pleased with the
results of his work. finding his re-
ports eminently practical and per-
sonal. He has pointed out what
cows are non-profitable and showed
the farmers in several cases where
they were feeding too much for best
results. The owners of milk herds
are now getting them on scientific
basis and regular feed system.
The time has past for haphazard
care of the milk COW and as fast as
funds permit the Fort Lupton farm
ers are Kidding themselves of in

PETITIONS OUT
FOR ROAD BILL

Fifteen hundred blank petitions
for the initiation of new good
roads bill, to take the place of
house bill 200, have been received
at the office of the state highway
commission at the capitol and are
being distributed throughout the
counties of the state.
Governor Shafroth has not yet
prepared a statement as to whether
he will or will not call an extra ses-
sion of the legislature to pass a
good roads bill. The highway COM
mission is going ahead on the sup
position that no extra session will
be called.
Chairman c. P. Allen Of the
commission says it is "all foolish
ness" to call the legislature into
special session at this time. But
the county commissioners of 81
counties and the good roads asso-
Citations, in joint convention as
sembled, formally adopted resolu-
tions calling upon the governor to
get the legislators together without
delay.
At present Governor Shafroth
does not want that proposition TAX
