Herald Readers.

We give in this issue of the Herald
q copy Of section of the postal law
which the postoffice department in.
sists upon compliance with. The pub.
Usher of the Herald has been notified
that he must comply with this law,
The law seems decidedly arbitrary and
uncalled for. but there is no course left
open for the publisher except compli.
ance with its provisions.
The Herald subscribers receiving
their mail at Holyoke. knowing them.
selves behind more than one year OF
payment OF subscription. please call at
the Herald Office the first time you are
in Holyokc.
The postoffiee department could not
have selected worse time for making
such demand on the publishers in
eastern Colorado. The Herald has al
ways aimed to avoid calling upon the
farmers for payment Of subscription in
times offinancial stringency. like these,
and will do all II can to help out the
farmer in this matter. IL they, will only
reciprocate the favor by helping the
Herald all they can to meet the require
ments Of the law.

The high school class day exercises
were held at the high school building
tsst Friday evening. The program. as
found in the last issue of the Herald,
was given and was much enjoyed by
the large audience present. The man.
ner in which the program was carried
out, reflected much credit upon the
members of the graduating class.
Their class day efforts show very plain.
ly that they have been improving their
opportunities during the years they
have been in the high school and have
prohted by the good instruction they
have had.

Homestead Bill Passes.

The three year homestead bill that
has been held up for so long between
the senate and the house was finally a
greed upon by the conference commit.
tee one day last week and, on the 28th
instant, the report was adopted by the
senate and will be adopted by the house
If it has not already been. It's becom.
ing law is now a certainty. N
1t shortens the time for residence or
homestead from to years and ap
plies to all filings that have been made
as well as to those to be made 1t al
SO allows an absence of months eacf
year from the land for the homesteader
This will enable good many home
steaders to make final proof on theil
filings at once and secure a patent t.
their land.
This is move in the right direction
The conservation policy gone wild, has
within the past few years, been impos
ing unnecessary burdens on the home
steaders. The best of the land is gon,
and Uncle Sam should now offer som,
greater inducement than heretofore t
those who will settle upon and max
homes on tho remaining land.

their eye on the judges office with no

Immense Irrigation Scheme.

An irrigation project for the recla-
nation of 25, 900, 600 acres of land is be-
ing talked of at Pueblo. The scheme
is to build an irrigation canal from the
Missouri river at or near Pierre, S. D.
through western Nebraska and east.
ern Colorado terminating near Ell Paso,
Texas.
This project has been talked of for Q
number of yearsland it seems that very
little serious thought has been given il
but, from the way the tmatter is being
taken hold of now, there is reason tc
believe that the feasibility of the un.
dertaking will be fully investigated.

The business man who does not have
enough interest in advertising and
building up his home town to do some
advertising Of his business in the home
newspaper, should not be heard regis
tering a kick against the purchasing of
goods from the mail order house.
People who are not acquainted with
the town, always form their opinion Of
the business done in town by the a.
mount Of advertising seen in the local
paper and the business man who refus-
es to carry any advertisement OF his
business in the local paper is refusing
to help advertise the business Of the
town. Business men who conduct their
business on the principle Of getting all
you can and keeping all you get, should
not complain when other people insist
on following bushes policy which they
believe to be along that same line.
