A bill of great Importance Will be
introduced in the house of repre-
sentatives today by Representative
Lever of South Carolina and it will
be presented in the senate Jointly
by Senators Hoke Smith and Page.
The bill provides for the further
endowment and support of asrieui-
tural colleges to enable them TO as
sist in getting into practice the best
methods of agriculture evolved by
operation of the plan of establish
ing and maintaining agricultural
colleges and experiment stations IN
the various states.
This measure is the joint work OF
the National Soil Fertility League,
the executive committee of the col
leges of agriculture and the states
men above named. 1t is in line with
the presidents recommendation in
his address at the national conser-
vation congress at Kansas City,
Mo, September 25, 1911. 1t mas

SCHOOL LAWS
ARE CHANGED

Important changes have been
made this year in the school laws of
the state. One which has long been
advocated by those interested in
school work ia the changing of the
dates of the school census. Form
erly the school census has been TAX
en- between the dates of April 10 to
May /.
1t Is now necessary that the work
of taking the census shall begin on
February 10 and be finished by
March l. During the former dates
itw as almost impossible to get a
correct census, as many of the fami-
lies living in town for the winter
have moved to the country and their
children's names are missed in the
change.
Another change in the law is to
the effect that secretaries of the
school districts are obliged to make
semi-annual reports instead of
yearly, as has been the case. Re
ports must now be made December
and July 1.

Farmers Blame Commission Men

Farmers of Colorado in Denver to
attend the annual session OF the
State Grange, insist that the cost

the grocers.
Farmers and grocers agree that
there is too much congestion OF pop

farm areas They also agree that
the people are living at too swift
pace.

Do the people of Greeley want

And do they want them bad

pirate $3.50 for this purpose?
This is what the city council

council Tuesday night on behalf of
Greeley band, the organization that
entertained thousands last year
with Friday evening concerts. He
reported that the merchants and

CONVENE
Painful to Some of Them
With Cracked Lips
Good Roads Joke.
Makes a Big Hit.

Only three counties in the state
came out in favor of adopting new
system of keeping books at the
meeting of the county commission
ers of the state held in Denver on
Tuesday. No, gentle or fierce read
er, Weld county was not one OF
these. The system of keeping books
in the Weld county commissioners
office will not be changed until
January, 1913, if the present board
is there that long.
The county commissioners also
want a cash payment for poll tax,
as they claim that the farmers
working out their taxes do not do a
good job. They believe if they had
the money they could do a better
job by hiring some one to do the
work With the record of the road
overseers in Weld county these ar
guments come with telling force.
1t becomes more apparent each
month that If our overseers are to
retire as millionaires there will
have to be more poll taxes collected
and the present system of bookkeep-
| ing allowed to stand, for there is.
less than year for them to hold
office. 1t is a case of go while the.
going is good.
The county commissioners of the
state discussed good roads also, but
the reports do not indicate that
Weld county will take first prize in
| this line. Some of the commission
ers even treated good roads seri-
ously, apparently not appreciating
in some counties of the state the
subject is painful to commissioners
with cracked lips-it makes them
laugh SO hard.
