part of the tremendous movement

June 2o-July 6, 1913, which has been
in the process of organization for
nearly two years past.

prominent educators in the world will
discuss the whole vast subject of ed
ucation from the Portland platform
September 8 has been selected as
the date for this universal prayer be-
cause it precedes the opening OF the
public schools in the United States
by only few days. the Sunday
Schools are resuming in large attend
ance and the teachers of both are
keyed tip for their years work and
stand atune with the world and thi.
Simultaneous prayer is. to bid all oi
them Godspeed in their work.
When discussing this vast and in
teresting Undertaking Rev. DR.. James
s. Martin, of Pittsburgh. Pa. the
man who has organized the world
for this prayer, said
GLOW can the school year be better
introduced than by praying for the
children and the youth of all nation:

| iberia, and there was no possible rea-
son only as it existed in the minds
of the sensation mongers that the
deaths in either family were due to
i'll feeling or religious fanaticism.
The entire community, and cspe-
cially the members of the congrega-
ton of the German church. are grief
stricken over the terrible affair, for
during the short period that the pas
tor has presided over the church the
people had become greatly attached
to him and his family.

structure, bespoke the sorrow tina,

beet fields, who constituted the pas
tors flock.
The services were simple. The Rev.
German conference. of which the
dead pastors church is member,
gave a brief history of Rev Mr. q.
Latzke's life, his struggle to succeed,
his hard work to build up his con
grcgation and the interest he showed
in the cause OF human uplift.
The Rev. Latzke was born in Ber-
lin in 1866 He served in the Ger
man army in accordance with the
laws of that country, and then en-
tered the Pilgrim mission at Chris
chona. He spent four years in the
ministerial school. when he was or
dained travelling missionary.
He took charge of a church al
Karlsruhe, where he met Magdalene
kissing. They were married in 1902
Six children were born to the couple,
two dying after birth. The woman,
who followed the fortunes and uphill
struggle of the pastor, died in agony
at his side, and a tribute was paid to
her bravery by Rev. DR.. Stahl. The
Latzkes came to America about four
teen months ago. residing for short
time in Loveland before coming 10

DRUGGED
''''''1l And ROBBED
Chloroform Used By Rocky
Ford Burglars
WERE PROFESSIONALS IN
USE OF SLEEPY STUFF
Victims Have Only "That Tired Feel
ing" as Evidence That Their
Sleep Had Been Drugged.

During the early hours of Sum
day the bedroom of the Drs. Van
Antwerp, the chiropractors, was
entered by burglars, the inmates
were chloroformed and all the
spare cash in DR.. HI. S. Van Ant
werp's pockets was abstracted,
after which the intruders made a
leisurely getaway, leaving no trace
Of their illegal visit, AT least this
is the assumption arrived at by
careful investigation some thirty
hours after the crime had been
committed.
On last Saturday night the doc
tors had occasion to make some
professional visits in the country
and it was close to midnight when
they retired, SO they were not sur
prised when they oversight their
usual time and hated to get up
next morning. But it did occasion
surprise when Mrs. Van Antwerp
found it almost impossible to
arouse her young daughter Lois
one of those proverbial "early
kids"-and they should all COM
plain of "that tired feeling" for
several hours.
But not until Monday morning,
when DIR. Van Antwerp had occa-
sion to use some money and found
that his purse had been emptied of
its con ontents-$7O in bills and two
IS checks-did the solution come
for their feeling of lassitude. 1t
was then recalled that faint scent
as of chloroform had pervaded the
air of their chamber on Sunday
morning and that Mrs. Van Ant
werp had found several burnt
match ends about the hoor-avery
Suspicious circumstance in rooms
lighted by electricity and where
none of the occupants smoke or
have occasion to use matches -
and SO it is deducted that the bur-
glars first chloroformed their vic
tins and while one held the burn
ing matches the other coolly rifled
the doctors pockets.
That the burglary was COM
mitted by adopts at their nefarious
trade is shown from the fact that
only sufficient of the drug was
used to cause sound sleep, that
Mrs. Van Antwerp's jewelry was
left intact upon the dresser and
that the loose change IN the doc
tors pocket was left untouched
and even the flap of the trousers
pocket in which the doctor carried
his purse was buttoned over as he
had left it. Nothing was done that
would alarm the victims and lead
to search for the perpetrators
until the latter had time to make
good their getaway.
The Van Antwerps conduct a
rooming house and suspicion
points to a strange couple who on
Saturday night engaged a room
off them and early Sunday morn
ing took their departure and have
not returned. Search has been
made for them but no trace of
their preseut whereabouts has
been discovered.

that the governor would be pleased

to fifteen tons Of kafir corn or cane.
There are no years 50 dry that Al
crop of either of these cannot be ma

properly cultivated.
There are very few years that a
kaiir corn crop cannot be raised on
wheat stubble after the wheat has
been harvested
A daily ration Of silage for mature
horses or cattle is about thirty-fiye
pounds. This means about half ton
per month, or six tons for the entire
year. The result Is that one acre Of

conditions, twice the number

A climate that brings certain grow

This Is accomplished by the use Of
silos The green crops are cut In their
most norishing state, placed in the
silo, and preserved indefinitely.
Throughout the great dairy districts
Of the northern and eastern states, it
has been customary for many years,
on the better equipped dairy farms, to
preserve all feed in silos and to feed
silage to cattle throughout the entire
year. There are two reasons for this.
First, an acre Of ground viii produce
much more feed, Il properly cultivat
ed, than It viii IN pasture. Quite as
much grass Is ruined by tramping as
ID consumed BY grazing and there are
crops that produce a much larger
quantity OF feed than any grass suit
able for pasture. The second reason
is. that there Is a growth Of weeds in
any pasture that affects the quality
Of the milk. This IS overcome In d
