And he made 1t quite apparent
He would not come back.

Just outside the hole,
But he couldn't get the ferret
Out to save his soul.

TRUTH is stranger than fiction be-
cause fiction is but a base imita-
ton. and base limitations are common.
Setting a pace is easy enough, but
it's keeping it that takes the grit.
1t is not hard to agree with q wom-
an when she insists upon admiring
you.
Sometimes it is what a man didn't
do at twenty that he can't forget at
forty.
Misery loves company, but it certain
ly is poor entertainer.
The man who never takes anything
back wouldn't make his fortune in the
loan business.
The man who breaks into society
sometimes has to have the sheriff help
him out.
When a mans judgment is better
than his credit we soon see his credit
on the mend.
If we could tell what was going to
happen it wouldn't be happening.
A brainstorm is what a man has
when he is too influential for hts
friends to tell him how many kinds
Of condemned fool he is making of
himself.
One way Of escaping notice is to at
tend to your own affairs.
Being a mascot for the neighbors is
sometimes trying to the constitution.

FAVORABLE HIGH
LINE PROGRESS.

A very favorable report of the
progress on the high line work, rec
ognlzed by the government as the
Grand Valley project, is printed in
the December issue of the Reclama-
tion Record, and is reproduced for
Sentinel readers as follows:
Colorado Grand Valley Project
preliminary Work The weather
throughout November was favorable
for construction work. The excava-
tion of the incline to the lower por-
tai of tunnel No. was completed
and work on the excavation of the
tunnel proper started at this portal
ON November H. This work was
continued. working one shift per day
until November 23. and two shifts
per day thereafter. At the end of
;he month, 10 linear feet of tunnel
had been eNcavated and timhered.
The material encountered was dry,
compact. adobe clay, containing nu-
merous large boulders. The tunnel
will later be lined with concrete and
the finished section will measure 6
feet in width and II feet in height
TO the crown of the semicircular
arch. The erection of the buildings
at Canyon Camp No. l was practic-
ally completed and work was started
on the transfer OF necessary power
plant equipment frcm the Uncompah-
gre project. The farm unit system
tentatively adopted was reviewed in
the field by the irrigation manager
OF the North Platte project
A report from the high line camp
this afternoon states that the tunnel
has reached depth OF 1876 feet and
;he progress is still very slow, due to
the nature Of the ground in which
they are working.

tools of our forefathers into the giant
tools of production of the present day
illustrates the principle. Take the
furked stick plow of the ancients,
drawn by the OK, and compare it with
the gang plow of the present day
drawn by the traction engine, that
can turn the land at cost of about
lOc per acre, Take the printing press
that was used when Benjamin Frank
lin established the Saturday Evening
Post and compare it to the perfec-
tion newspaper press of today, that
can print, fold and count many thou
sand copies of a 12-page paper in
an hour. Men with big hearts and
strong minds have left their records
of the past: Elijah, jeremiah, Isaiah
and others of Bible history tell us of
conditions in this age of the world,
and the revelations of the historian
of every age tell us of the evolutions
that have taken place. The determi-
nation of history from the economic
view or standpoint, is the socialist
philosophy.
The vulgar rich you mention. the
10 women who sport about $1,000
600 worth of jewels, are about on a
par with the savages who wear nose
rings and ornament their faces with
tatuoing are harmless, useless
creatures. They produce nothing OF
value to themselves or others-just
parasite. The system that diverts use
full effort to the production of useless
decorations is what is wrong The
same efforts applied to housing. feed
ing and clothing useful citizens
would produce comfort and joy for
many thousands who now suffer from
the pangs of misery, hunger and
cold The profits OF the wage sys-
TEN enables the parasites OF the plu-
etocrats to live in wasteful, riotous
luxury, while the producers of the
wealth of the world suffer and die
