"a man is as old as his arteries"

Of Boston In the New York Medical

declaring that worry is a common

considered as one Of the customary and
proper accomplishments of ripe old

Parr of England. who died ut the

covered the circulation OF the blood
on examination after death to be per

DR.. Clapp says that within certain
limits the arteries do not harden be-
cause they are old, but are old because
they are diseased. Among causes for
arter1oaclerosis he gives overeating, ex-
eessive muscular strain and excessive
brain work. Worry produces func-

Delightful COtilIiOn
Opens Social Season
AN ELABORATE DANCING PARTY
WEDNESDAY, NIGHT MARKS
ADVENT OF HALLoWE'EN.

(tron Fridays Daily
Perfect in every detail, from appro
pirate decorations and delicious re
treatments, to orchestral music that
set the blood racing and feet tripping,
the Halloween cotilNon given Wed.
nesday evening at Odd Fellow hall by
ten of the younger society set of Val.
ley City, was one Of the most delight
full social affairs given here In years.
That the hostesses, Mesdames Sig
urdson. Grady, Nelson, Henry and
Jones and Misses Persons, Stiles, An
derson and the Misses Maye and Tess
Henry had spared no labor or time to
make the cottluon a success was evil
denced from the moment one entered
the hall. The lights were softly shad-
ed with orange paper shades and
streamers Of orange and black crepe
paper festooned the walls from which
hung paper new moons, upon which
sat black witches and cats. A frieze
OF black cats, made in life size, was
over the archway between the dancing
hall and the refreshment room, and
hugh pumpkins with faces cut in them
lighted up with candles set on the
piano, and at different points in the
refreshment room. The long refresh
ment table was spread with white
cloth and was covered with paper
witches and pumpkins, and centered
with huge pumpkin with a jolly
face lit with candle light, and also
otherwise lighted with orange shaded
candelabra.
What was, perhaps, as delightful a
feature of the evening as any other,
was the music. Rarely have Valley
City dancers been given the opportun-
ity to "trip the light fantastic to mu.
sic more stirring, better accented, or
more productive of spontaneous mer-
riment than that furnished Wednes-
day evening by Malchow's orchestra,
composed of five pieces, from Little
Falls, MINI.
Just off the dancing hall was the
refreshment and card room where
frappe, sherbert and cake were served
to the dancers, and those who did not
care for the more strenuous exercise
could play cards during the evening.
The frappe tables were presided over
by the Misses Orpha Laird and Mable
Story, who were dressed in white and
red and represented little witches.

MODEL FARM
IS PLANNED
FOR KERSEY
Z. II. Ilinman Buys 100 Acres-Nau
Experiment With Stock and
Various Crops

kersey, April l3.-That the Ker-
sey district is regarded as one of
the most desirable in northern Colo
rado was proven yesterday when C..
II. iinman at the head of the farm
extension work of the State Agri-
cultural college purchased what il
known as the w. h. Reeves farm,
one-half mile east of Kersey and
Will make it into a model stock and
experiment farm. The farm con-
tains so acres and the purchase
price was S10,500 which includes
ditch and reservoir rights ample in
every way. At present the farm is
occupied by w. r. Henderson, who
will likely remain this season and
in the meantime Improvements will
be made upon it.
MIR. Hinman has visited the Ker-
sey district often in the last two
years and considers it an ideal
farming region and will proceed to
carry odt his theories of farming
andstock raising combined. The
several talks given here last winter
by experts from the college have
awakened the Kersey farmers to
the greater possibilities of the dis
trict and kersey expects to be known
as dairy center as we'll as the ban
ner potato region of Weld county.

Iasalle, April l3.-For the first
tine this season water is running
INTO the Latham reservoir through
the Union ditch and thousands Of
carr ana suckers in the reservoirs
are coming up into the ditch, meet
lhe the fresh water and giving op-
poitunlty for their capture in large
numbers. AS a result fishermen

While the weather has been too
colo TO melt much of the SHOWS at
the head waters of the Platte the
river has steady flow and bitches
are drawing much better supply
Tor reservoirs than usual at this
season. It was not wise to fill the
Latham reservoir earlier in the sea-
SOL for fear ice would back up in
the ditch and flood the town. Word
was telephoned here yesterday by
MI. ReeCe that water was running
IN the bitches of the Denver Greeley
Valley irrigation district and that

of Misfortunes

Windsor, April 13. Harry
Brown, who swallowed mixture
strong with carbolic acid by mistake
for cough medicine Thursday
morning will probably recover. His
mouth and stomach were badly
burned by the liquid but an altera-
tive quickly administered saved his
life. DR.. Bartz, the attending ply
sician, says he cannot yet tell what
the secondary results will be from
the dose.
The Browns have had their share
OF sickness and trouble during the
last few years. About three years
ago while scarlet fever was raging
among the Brown children the two
year old baby managed to get some
tablets left by the physician, swal-
lowed them and died almost imme-
diately from the effects. Whooplng
cough has prevailed in the family
for some time and both the father
and mother have given almost con-
stant attention to their little ones
Recently Mr. Brown succumbed TO
heavy cold accompanied with a
bad cough and he got up at .
O'Clock Thursday morning to get
some medicine to relieve his cough
and in the dim light picked up the
wrong bottle. Mrs. Brown has a
baby but three weeks old.
