and women in the mills. the living
up to the child labor law, practically,
by the entire mills Of the State, an
increase In spindles and looms, a
steady increase in the use Of water
power over steam power, and many
other gratifying signs Of upward
tendency all along the line.
Especially interesting are the fig

for burglary aud grand larceny at
Denver, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to escape from the state peni-
tentiary here Wednesday night They
we're just about to throw a rope over
the outer wall at 9 o'clock when they
were discovered by the guards. who
were hunting for them.
Cook and Williams were confined
in cell house No. 4, which is known
as .4trusty" house. The inmates of this
building have more privileges than
those in the other cell houses. Cook,
was not trusty, but acted as prison
barber.
The convicts stealthily entered the
toilet room, climbed through a trap
door in. the ceiling and then crawled
through a ventilator and hid in the
store room. The absence of the men
was discovered about $50 o'clock.
when the guards were checking up
the prisoners. A search was imme-
diately started for the missing con-
victs, and they were found in the
store room. where they had secured
food supplies and ropes. From now on
Cook and Williams will be kept lock-
ed up in cells.

FOR BEET CROWNS IN
WET MOUNTAIN VALLEY


Frederick Noble, manager OF the
American Beet Sugar company's plant
at Rocky Ford, accompanied by D. Z.
Jcenck and Ernest Ballou, expert ag-
ricuIturists in the employ of the COM
pany, and John B. Lacy, editor and
manager of the Rocky Ford Gazette
Topic, spent a short time in Canon
City Wednesday while making an au-
tomobile trip to the Wet Mountain val
ley and on up to Salida. The purpose
of the trip was to ascertain the pos
sibilities of the soil in this section OF
the state for producing sugar beets
and to learn about how many farmers
were willing to engage in their cul-
tiyation. In the course of converse
ton with Mr.. Lacy. who returned here
on the train this morning from Salida,
1t is learned that the trip was a high
ly encouraging one in all respects ana
that efforts will be made by the COM
pany TO induce the growing of sugar
beets in Fremont, Custer and Chaffee
counties on a considerable scale.
Tests made of the soil by Messrs.
Joenck and Ballou. at various places
between Pueblo and Salida show its
adaptability for beet culture. especial
ly in the Wet Mountain valley where
the poorest lands, It is said. will pro-
duce better quality OF beets than the
best soil in the Rocky Ford district If
a sufficient acreage can be secured N
this portion of the valley to justify the
outlay the company will build sugar
factory Of small capacity at some
point convenient to the Canon City
coal fields to handle the product. The
party IS very sanguine that the grow
ing OF sugar beets can be made a PROF.
liable industry by the farmers of this
portion Of the state.

A GREAT DISCOVERY
Certain Ingredients That Really Pro-
mote Hair Growth When Properly
Combined

Combined.
Resorcin is one of the most effect
i've germ destroyers ever discovered
by science, and in connection with
Beta Napthol. which is both germi-
cidal and antiseptic, a combination is
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair OF its natural
nourishment, and also creates
clean, healthy condition of the scalp,
which prevents the development of
new germs.
Pilocarpin. although not eoloring
matter or dye. is a vell-known in
gredient for restoring the hair to rs
natural color. when the loss of hair
has been caused by a disease OF the
scalp.
These ingredients in proper comhi-
nation. with alcohol added as stimu-
lent and for its weil-defined nourish-
ing properties. perfect perhaps the
most effective remedy that is known
for scalp and hair troubles.
We have a remedy which is chietls
composed of these ingredients. in
combination with other extremely in
valuable medicinal agents. We guar
antee it to positively cure dandruli
and to grow hair. even though the
scalp in spots is bare of hair. II there
IS any vitality left in the roots, II will

WHY BUTTER IS HIGH.

Butter, Everybody but the farmer complains that butter is too high. Whose fault is it?

this is equally true of Bavaria and most of the other German states-the skilled worker ought to find in his calling one of the great satisfactiOns Q life-a certain artistic pride, the dispo- sition to do his work not alone as he has been taught, but to add to it some thing of his own individuality. because he loves the work and puts something of his spiritual self into it. No boy is compelled or unduly forced into the choice of q calling. He is handled tenn peramentally and sympathetically. The endeavor is made to stir the boys am bition. Masters and parents confer The parents working at common labor almost always want their children to do better in life than they have done They readily cooperate in getting the conviction fixed in the boys mind that he ought not to be an unSkilled work man: that when he finishes his school days he ought not to be content to be among those at the bottom Of society doing the coarse labor of the ditch, but that he ought to choose d trade and fit himself for one of the higher lev els. where intelligence counts for something and where wages and op- portunities are larger The germ of the whole system of manual training is considered by the Prussian Ministry of Commerce and Industry to be in the awakening of the boys aspirations for a life above the ordinary.
