E.eformers in Trouble.

County Assessor Pitcher of Denver
has stirred up considerable worry for
the officials Of that cou nty and also for
the state officials by proceeding to make
la horizontal cut of ten per cent in the
yassessed valuation of all Denver prop
ierty. He has ordered his office force
| to extend the taxes on the basis of such
a reduction in the assessed valuation

state officials are at loss to know how
they would be able to meet the short.

and are making all kind of threats a

him into jail, If he insists on carrying
out his plan of reducing the assessed
valuation. Pitcher pays no attention

Assessor Pitcher is the product Of
the redemption wave that passed over
Denver few months ago and it would
be rank political heresy in this age Of
reform to even insinuate that he is act
ing IN this matter either through ignor-
ance of his powers as an official or from
improper motives, consequently we see
no way for the people of the state to
even extend sympathy to the sorely
troubled state and county officials in
Denver.

An Improved Fall Wheat.

Il is reported that the Denver cham.
Der Of commerce is planning for settling
~, coo families on land within 100 miles
east and north OF that city. An adver'
tsing campaign is to be commenced al
once to secure the settlers for this land.
One Of the great inducements TO be
held out to settlers is the claim that 0
new variety OF winter wheat has beer
discovered that gives a remarkable yield
under conditions such as we have In
eastern Colorado. This wheat is known
as the improved winter Emmer and Is
the product OF B. G. Buifum Of Wor'
land. Wyo II Is claimed by Denver
paper that. under conditions such ms VIC
have In eastern Colorado. this wheR,
mas made the remarkable yield Of lOi
bushels per acre under dry farming.
Of course II this wheat can be relied
upon for profitable crop for the ter
ritory in which the chamber OF com
mcree is particularly interested. II
would be profitable crop FOR the farm
crs Of our county. We would hesitate
very much to voueh for the remarkable
ield Of this wheat as reported by the
Denver paper stlll our farmers should
investigate this matter and ascertain
the facts that can be relied upon. !, ia
to the interest Of the people Of the
soun,y that We have the grains for seed
that arr best adapted to the conditions
Of this part Of the state and, " this
wheat has made anything like the yield
reported In the state Of Wyoming. Il Is
certainly better adapted for II profitable
crop In our county than any wheat the
farmers are now raising.

Why did your grandmother boil dirty
clotheS3 To soften and loosen the dirt.
That's the only way she knew. Now
FelS-Naptha soap will do the loosening
better in cold or lukewarm water.
FelS-Naptha is an invention, same as the
telephone or sewing machine.
The up-t o-date woman uses
FelS-Naptha because it saves her the trouble
of boiling clothes or heating water and
makes hard-rubbing unnecessary. Then
her clothes are freSher and cleaner than if
washed in the old-fashioned, boiling way.
Here's the way to do your white things
with FelS-Naptha: Soap, roll and let soak
a short time in cold or lukewarm water,
then rub lightly, rinse and hang on the
line. Try it once.
Be sure to follow directions on the
red and green wrapper.

Blrda That EIlrt.

Henry Oldys, formerly OF the United
States Biological survey, In the course
OF recent lecture at the University of
Chicago, said that birds were pos.
sessed OF an aesthetic sense similar to
that OF human beings. Birds dance in
the air, do Highland filings and tho
more sedate evolutions with the most
perfect rhythm" said Mr.. Oldys. They
sing bird ragtime,' and at other
times snatches OF song which greatly
resemble our grand opera. There Is "a
blackbird that has a song almost Ike
q Wagnerian opera; the robin is best
in so-called popular songs; while the
wood thrush sings a song Of four dis
tinct verses. Like the human being.
birds firt aud are filled with vanity
In this capacity they use their plum
age with great effect. In the Congo
there is a male bird that struts before
its mate. and peeps under its wing tn
see II she is looking at him" The
! speaker concluded with the statement
that birds sometimes copy from man.
and that man could learn a great deal
by copying from the bird.
