I'm only a commonplace
Sort of a lob.
I've got no false notions ana
I'm not a snob
Who has no ambition to
Raise any hob.
No bee buzzes round my old

Never do sob.
In peace and contentment 1
Smoke my old cob.

SEEDS TO
Be GIVEN
TO NEEDY
GEORGE HODGSON HAS PLAN no
PROVIDE GARDENS FOR DRY
I4ANDERS IN OUNTY-TRIB-
UNE WILL HELP

A movement has been started in
the south end of the county that
bids fair to spread all over Weld
and, If successful, will result in
hundreds of gardens being put in
this spring by the dry landers
George Hodgson of Platteville,
conceived the plan of sanding seed
to the dry landers who otherwise
would not get any, and thus achieve
the two fold purpose of providing
the homesteaders with grdens and
discovering what is best adapted to
the dry land regions.
Mr.. Hodgson has quantity of
seed that he is not going to use
Some If his neighbors are similarly
situated and he believes that other
farmers in various parts of the
county will have seed that they can
give away to those less fortunate
than themselves.
His plan is to have the post
masters in the county act as sort
of clearing house between the men
who have seed to give away and
those who want it and to ask the
railroads to deliver the seed free of
cost, as the movement will result in
more business for the roads event
ually.
For instance, if dry lander
wants some seed, let him designate
the kind and quantity he wants to
the postmaster at Platteville or
some other irrigated section. The
postmaster there can turn over the
request to some one he knows VINO
has seed to spare. Then those who
have seend might drop a card to
the postmasters in the dry land
territory advising them what kind
of seed they have and how much
they can give away. In this way
the man who wants the seed and
the man who has it to give away
can be brought together.
The prospects for a good crop
this year are excellent and through
this plan of distributing seeds many
I farmers who have suffered in the
past might be able to make up their
losses this year.
The Tribune will he glad to pub
lish the names of those having seed
| to give away and those who are in
need of it, if the names are sent in
/ and authority is given.

.FUQUA HEARING TO
Be HELD TONIGHT
Opinion is Expressed that Civil serv-
Ice Commission viii Refuse to
Consider Case After
Arguments.
FUQUA TO TAKE CASE UP
Former Captain Is Confident That He
VIII Win In End ard ls Pro
pairing to Take the Case
Into Court.

The general opinion expressed over
the city this morning in regard to the
fight being waged in the police depart
ment, was to the effect that Former
Captain Fuqua would be beaten In the
initial contest, inasmuch as the civil
service commission was expected to
agree that they had no jurisdiction
over the case and drop 1t after hear
ing the arguments Of City Attorney
Craig. for Commissioner Gray and
Police Chief schevers and D. F. Miller,
who will present Fuqua's side.
Captain Fuqua said this morning
that he thought that the above situa-
| ton would be encountered tonight, but
declared that 1t was merely an opening
wedge for his case and that he would
no doubt Ale charges with the COM
mission tomorrow morning. 1t will all
depend upon what these charges en-
body, as to whether or not the attor-
ney general Of the state will be asked
to look into the matter.
Neither Mr.. Gray nor Chief Schev
ers would make statement today
further than to say they were posi-
tive of their position in the case ant
that 1t would all come out at the hear
| ing. F,uqua is still in a belligeren
mood and Is confident that he will
ultimately win over the edtcts Of tn,
department heads.
The hearing will be held In the su
|perior court room tonight at sevel
o'clock and will be open to the pub
lie. From the interest that is bein,
evidenced around the city, 1t Is al
most certainty that the court room
will be crowded.
