PARKS REPUBLICAN
FROM PRINCIPLE

AS between c. C. Parks, regularly
designated by the state republican as
sembly as a candidate for governor,
and P. B. Stewart a disciple of the
Bull Moose faction, whose name goes
on the ballot by petition, there should
be no hesitation as to choice by repub-
licans. Mr.. Parks is republican from
principle, an enthusiastic supporter of
the national republican ticket, one of
Colorado foremost citizens and he
comes from section vl the state here
tofore unrecognized in selecting candi-
dates for the office of governor of
the state, while Mr.. Stewart is a pro-
nouneed advocate of the election of
Theodore Roosevelt, who heads a ma,
tional ticket in bitter opposition to
President Taft, and cannot, therefore,
be called true blue republican. He

KILL OFF THE GRAssHoPPER
Insect Not Looked Upon With horror
and Fear It Was Comparatively
Few Years Ago.
Ry F. l.. WASHBURN.)

Concerted action by government
and state authorities has had the ef-
feet OF changing the dreaded grass
hopper from a menace which was ma
tional in scope, to an insect Whlcn
while harmful enough in character, ls
no looked upon with the horror and
fear it was comparatively few years
ago.
There are many methods OF COM
batting these pests, but three methods
are especially practical in most local
tiles.
Fall rlowing is considered the most
efficient. Plow the eggpods under,
hurying some, and breaking open
others SO that moisture can get in,
and exposing still others to the at
tacks of their enemies-birds, shrews.
etc.
The second method is that of pois.
oned bats Use either poisoned bran
or the Criddle mixture. Poisoned
bran can be used only in situations
where stock and poultry are exclud.
ed. Neither should it be used where
partridge and quail are likely to feed.
1t is merely bran poisoned with paris
green or arsenic, two pounds of paris
green to 100 of bran, moistened with
water and little molasses, SO that
the bran will just stick together when
taken up with a spoon.
Criddle mixture is horse-manure
mixed with arsenic and slightly salt
ed. 1t is to be distributed about the
fields in small masses. We all know
of the fondness of grasshoppers for
anything containing salt. They will
even roughen fork handles in their
efforts to get at the salt deposited on
them with the perspiration. This mix
ture is recommended in some of the
western states. The proportions are
about as follows: Paris green, one
pound; salt, two pounds; fresh horse
droppings, 100 pounds. The horse
droppings are usually measured out in
a three-gallon pail. Five pailfulls be
ing taken as the right amount for one
pound of the poison. The salt is dis

Tho Aero club plans call for regular pas

Of the exhibition and there is certain to
be lively rivalry for the honor of be-
ing passengers during the early trips

at this time, calls for two trips each

is almost nil, II is certain that aerial

Dirigble balloon cruises will prove a
novelty here, but abroad, and particularly
in Germany, the idea of aerial trips be-
tween large cities of aerial trips between
tween large cities no longer causes amaze
ment since remarkable progress has been
made in this department OF aviation dur
ing the last eighteen months. In fact, IL
is possible to hire dirigible In Germany
today for an aerial joy ride Just as Il
motor car can be rented in this country
for the same purpose. The sense of
safety that pervades such jaunts across
country at an elevation of 500 or 1000 feet
can be gained from the fact that on

of Germanys latest and best dirlgibles.

While the attention of a large majority
of the aeronauts of this country have
