TO BANQUET
new JUDGES
OF DISTRICT
LArimer County Bar Association t<
Have Judges Strong and Grs-
Ham as Honor Guests

Fl. Collins, Dec. 20--Judge Neil
F. Graham, Judge Harry P. Gam
BILE, who retires from the bench
and R. G. Strong. the newly elected
Judge, are to be the guests of honor
at q banquet to be given by the
Larimer county Bar association IN
this city some time next month.
This was determined this afternoon
at a meeting of the executive COM
mittee.
This is a revival of custom
which in former years was observed
whenever a member of the bar was
elevated to the bench. The local
association has not held a banquet
since June. 1908, when the State
Bar association meeting was held
here. Several committees were ap-
pointed to make arrangements and
secure speakers for the banquet,
which promises to be one Of the
most brilliant affairs ever held by
the lawyers in this city.
The executive committee is COM
posed of L. r. Rhodes, P. W. Lee,
r. w. Fleming, ]. Fred Farrar. and
George Clammer The banquet will
probably be held about the second
week in January. when the term OF
the judges begins.

THE GREATEST THING IN THE W0RlnI

but leaves each piece still ice,
while love Is the ray OF sunlight
which. though acting more slowly
and silently. melts the ice."
At this season Of the year our
thoughts turn to the contemplation
of the new degree Of love revealed
to the world by Jesus. To the love
between members Of the family and
love between friends. he added an
all-pervading love that includes
every member of the human race.
Even enemies are not beyond the
bounds of this love. for mans puny
arms are not strong enough to
break the bonds that unite each
son OF God to all his brethren.
Love is not stupid" says Tolstoy.
1t makes known to us our duty to
our fellows and 1t will some day
rule the world. Force is the wea-
pom OF the animal In US; after 1t
comes money. which the intellect
employs. sometimes for good. some-
times for harm. But greater than
all Is love, the weapon Of the heart.
1t is a sword that never rusts. nei-
ther does it break and the wounds
that 1t leaves are life-saving, not
life-destroying. No armor can
withstand 1t and no antagonist can
resist 1t. But why try to define
his love or to measure its scope?
Paul, the apostle. in his first epistle
to the Corinthians describes 1t in
language to which nothing can be
added and from which nothing can
be taken. Let his words suffice:
"If l speak with the tongues OF
men and of angels. but have not
love. l am become sounding brass
or changing cymbal. And II have
the gift of prophecy. and know all
the mysteries and all knowledge;
and II have all faith. SO as to re-
move mountains, but have not love
I am nothing. And II bestow all
my goods to feed the poor. and II
give my body to be burned. but

HOME IS
SAVED BY
THE WIND
RaCKLIN GRANCH IN PLEASANT
VALLEY IS NEAR DESTRUC.
TION FROM FIRE WHEN WIND
CHANGES DIRECTION

That the elegant home Of H. N
Bickling in Pleasant Valley. valued
at $1,000 and improvements aggre-
eating $4,000 were not. destroyed
by fire which broke out in the
coralls Thursday afternoon. was
due both to the valiant work OF the
neighbors and to the fact that the
strong wind changed completely
Just at the time when 1t seemed
that all must go.
Fire started in some unknown
way in a straw stack in the corall.
In a few minutes large stock shed
100 feet long was in flames but
when the fire reached the place
where 1t seemed impossible to save
the large barn, the wind suddenly
veered and by brave work the men
we're able to keep the fire down.
Mrs. Bickling was alone on the
place with her three younger chill
dren when the fire was seen by a
neighbor at about 1880 O'Clock in
the afternoon. Within few min
utes there were 80 or 40 men came
in autos and fought the flames
with water from creek which
runs through the corral.
The loss was the shed valued at
several hundred dollars, and one
calf. In the barn was stored 200
bushels of oats and SO tons of hay.

time, began a search for him. find
