here, little boy, is a wish for you;
A wish that sorrows may pass you
by,
That your highest wishes may all
come true,
And that all of the splendid things
you try,
You may have the gifts and the
strength to do.
Here, little girl, is wish for you;
A wish that gladness may come your
way,
That the best you are wishing may
all come true;
That angels may guard you day by
day,
That your heart may be kind and
your tears be few.
Well begun is half done-Start
your school right, start right your
self and half of your troubles will
vanish. One way of starting right
is to secure the right sort of teach
er's helps, the kind that will take
the rough edges off your work, re-
move the drudgery, and make teach
ing a pleasure to you, and being
taught, pleasure to your pupils.
Don't worry too much when you
stumble-remember, worm is about
the only thing that can't fall down.
The International commission on
the teaching of mathematics has
made a report through the U. S. bu-
reau of education. "A great mistake
in our education" it says, sis that
there has been too much recitation
and too little personal instruction.
The text books have been depended
on altogether too mucn."
School time has come again and
for nine months in Liberal and seven
more months in the rural schools
it is the duty of every boy and girl
Of school age to be at their desks
every working day for that time 1t
is also the duty of the parents OF
every boy and girl TO know that they
are at their desks and learning. The
boys and girls who are clean, moral
ly and mentally and physically and
who strive for and master an edu-
cation will be the leaders in the COM
ing years.
Girls and boys, do not do anything
on the playground that you would be
ashamed to have your mother see
you do. Go into everything you go
at with a determination to win, but,
make determination that you must
win by fair means or not at all
There is nothing more dispicaDle
than the boy or girl who goes out
to win, no matter how. If you can
not win fair, lose, and when you lose,
do 1t with a good grace and a de-
termination to put a stronger effort
forth the next time and win, but
Twin fairly.
The greatest institution back of
the school is the home. 1t is to the
parents of our great body of school
children that we must look for the
physical, moral and mental training

MEN INCREASE IN U. S.
Number OF Women Do Not Keep
Pace-Males Show Decrease
in Colorado.

Donyer.-Males have increased
more rapidly than females in the
United States between the years 1900
and 1910. according to figures recent
y compiled by Director Durand OF
the federal census bureau.
The federal census for 1910 shows
there we're l7,332,277 males and A.,
639.3S9 females, or LOG males for
every 100 females. Ten years ago
there were 1914 males to every 100 fe-
males.
The excess of males in the United
States is attributed to tho extensive
immigration.
The male population In Colorado as
whole, however. has decreased per
cent. during the last ten years, while
In Denver it has increased 2.3 per
cent
The population of Colorado for 1910
was 799,O24, including 43O.697 males
and 36S,327 females, or 1lG.9 males for
every 100 women. Denver. with pop.
ulation of 2l3,3Sl In 1910, contained
107395 males and 1O5,9S6 females.

Editors Will Boost Their Bill.

DenyCr.-The executive and cam
paign committees of the Colorado
State Editorial Association have out
lined vigorous campaign for the pur-
pose of securing the adoption OF the
proposed law to reduce the cost of
printing constitutional amendments
and initiated and referred bills. This
proposed law will appear on the ballot
in position seven in the list of bills
submitted for adoption or rejection.
1t reduces the number of publications
from, in one newspaper for four con-
secutive weeks in each county, to one
publication in two papers of opposite
political faith in each county.
The campaign committee intends to
secure the cooperation of country
publishers in a campaign of education
among the readers of the various pa
pers in the state, through advertise
ments and news stories in their pa
pers and through personal work be-
fore election day.
When the direct legislation prin-
ciple was before the people for adop-
ton or rejection two years ago the ex.
treme cost of publishing the proposed
measures was one of the principal ar
guments against the enactment of
that principle into law. Under the
old plan wherein only constitutional
amendments submitted by the Legisla
ture were advertised the cost was com
paratively slight. Under the new plan
where all submitted measures must be
advertised the cost was considerably
increased, but the editors, realizing
that this increase would act as detri-
ment to the submission of proposed
bills, have initiated proposed amend
ment which they claim reduces the
cost to 4 figure that cannot be reduced
through any other method of advertis.

Paris.-A general conflagration in
the Balkans is expected by officials
here. Montenegro's declaration of war
against Turkey Is regarder merely as
the beginning. 1t is believed that the
other unit of the Balkan coalition will
follow suiut as soon as the mobiliza-
ton of the armies Is complete. There
Ii only faint hope that the repre-
sentatlons of the powers will avert
general hostilities.
Montenegro's move is considered in
Paris to be part of a prearranged
plan. 1t is asserted that Greece was
first selected by the Balkan Confeder-
alton to force the issue and inaugurate
the war. This easily could have been
done by Greece seating in the Greek
Parliament the deputies from Crete,
which was certain to prove a casus
belli to Turkey.
Greece, however, declined to accept
responsibility for starting the flame.
Montenegro then was picked. She
had long.standing quarrel with Tur-
key over the boundary question, and
Turkeys refusal to grant satisfac-
ton was seized upon AS justification
for Montenegro's resort to arms.
