sick list last Sunday.
Owing to the cold and rough roads
the Jerusalem pulpit was not filled
by Rev. William Jones as announced
the previous Sunday. g.
The Won Jones boys did some fire
wood saving for the farmers in this
part of the country last week. They
are great hustlers in that line.
Little Devena Thomas was taken
seriously sick last week. DR.. H. J.
Lloyd was summoned and soon re-
lieved the child from her suffering.
Miss Esther Evans is staying with
her brother and sister, Mr.. and Mrs.
Conner F.. Evans, to help take care
of and entertain the new arrival
who came to their home a couple of
weeks ago.
H. J. Roberts and son John were
up from Mankato last week, doing
some repairs on their house at Jud-
son, which will be occupied by
Charles Kilby and mother in the
near future.
Joseph Thomas was taken to Ro-
chester last Tuesday morning for an
operation for appendicitis which he
underwent the next Friday He seem
ed. to be getting along quite nicely
until about eight o'clock Saturday
evening when a sudden change came
on and he passed away about eleven
o'clock Saturday night. His. brother
in-law, Thomas Jones, had gone with
him to Rochester and was at his
bedside when the end came. The
remains were shipped to Judson, arriv-
ing at 1870 Sunday afternoon and
were taken from there to Mr.. Thorn
as home in Butternut Valley. The
funeral arrangements have not been
announced at this writing, owing to
the fact that some of the relatives
have not been heard from. Mr..
Thomas leaves a wife, two brothers
and two sisters to mourn his loss.
He was a good hearted young man,
well liked by all who were acquaint-
ed with him, and had large circle
of friends who will feel that a big
vacancy has come to their midst in
the removal of their friend Joe"
from this life. The bereayed fam
lily has our deepest sympathy in this
their dark hour OF sorrow which
overlook them so suddenly.

Real Curious Condition Of Things
Found In Connecticut.
LAW FRAMED rs VERY NOVEL
All Licenses Expire February
28; Not Nenewed Until
March First.
Especial to Tie Free Press


Hartford, Conn.,, February 2S.-
Every autoist in the Wooden Nutmeg
state and there are about fifteen
thousand Of them, all told-will be
liable to arrest il he takes his car
out tomorrow. For the matter of that,
the owner of a motor car within
the borders Of the state may be
'jugged" or fined anyway, under a
strict Interpretation of the law made
and provided for the regulation OF
automobiles. 1t isn't likely that the
statute will be enforced since all
the. jails of the state wouldn't be
able to hold the criminals" but
that is the way the law stands. Gu
rious state OF affairs.
s4 Why's and Wherefores.
The reason for this condition OF
affairs is that all licenses for auto
mobiles now in effect were issued to
expire today, February %. 1t is also
provided that the new licenses be-
come effective on March 1. AS this
Is leap year, that leaves a gap OF a
day, and tomorrow no motorist will
be able to show that he has a legal
right to own or run motor vehicle.
In making out the licenses Score.
tary Rogers forgot the old formula,
excepting February" which alone has
twenty-eight, and one day more is
added to it one year in four" Over
looking the leap year proposition, he
made the licenses expire a day too
soon. Secretary Rogers is a married
man, and so had no occasion to
remember leap year.

STATE MUST
Be ADVERTISED
Colorado Realty Men Plan to
Revive the State Bereau
Of immigration

A movement has been started by the
Colorado Realty Dealers Association to
revive the state bcreau Of Immigration.
The association will initiate bill, to be
voted on this fall, giving the bereau an
annual fund OF s250o0, and putting it ia
the second class, SO that the money will
always be available.
During the one year that the bereau
was in good working order its records
show that s100 was brought into the
state for every dollar spent. 1t is be-
lieved that actual results we're many
times this amount, since only small
percent Of the homeseekers ever report
to such bereau. Since the last session
OF the Legislature, however, there has
been no money available for use. An
appropriation OF $4,000 was made, but
only small portion of this sum has
ever been paid, and little work hss been
done in consequence.
In the meantime nearly every uther
western state has been getting the set
tiers, and Colorado has suffered. wyo-
ming is spending $4,000 year to tell
people about its resources, and land
buyers and investors are ilocking to the
state.
The Realty Association believes that
something should be done at once to
raise the bereaus appropriations from
the fourth to the second class, and the
proposed bill is the result. Petitions
will be placed next week in the hands
of every realestate man and every local
newspaper Office in Colorado, in a quick
snappy campaign to get the necessary
number Of names to initiate the new bill.

OPEN ROAD FROM
DENVER TO LIM0k
This Done, Says Edmund Pauls
and Great Auto Highway
Will Be Completed

Open the road from Denver t., Limon
Colo. and give the transcontinental
sutomobileists a chance to visit Denver,
says Edmund Pauls. vice president OF
the transcontinental Lincoln Highway
OF Lincoln County. ] wish to draw the
attention Of Depver's Chamber Of Com
merce, automobile clubs and associa-
ticns to the badly connected link be-
tween Denver and Limon, which, il put
In good shape, would connect Denver
directly with the transcontinentai Lin
coin highway and secure Denver's share
Of the great automobile travel from
Kansas City, Oklahoma, Texas and the
southeast to the Rocky Mountains.
This neglected link OF only ninety
miles was the cause Of the Limon gar
age, in the summer OF 1911, diverting
more than 200 automobiles to Colorado
Springs over the Lincoln highway.
This garage, with the help of the
Springs erected sign boards wherever
necessary along the route to the Kansas
line, thus enableiug tourists to find
their way easily and to avoid adobe and
sand holes-pronounced by all as the
best and shortest route from the Miss
ouri river to the Rocky Mountains.
Denver aught to realize how advan-
tageous it would be for her to place the
link between her and Limon in good
condition. This would connect her dir
ect and bring her share of the great
travel which is bound to come from
Kansas City. Instead of few tourists
trnding their way via Denver over adobe
and sand holes and losing their way
among the farm roads. with sign boards
and few repairs Denver could be
placed op the map of this great high
way. 1t is up to Denver = and why
dosn't she act?" Denver Post.
