HIGH BREEDING AND GOOD
FEEDING.
BY T. +. ORR.

records of farmer who sold eggs
from a flock of eight hens to the
amount OF 1878 per hen, all this
within one year; and besides, this
bunch of hens each raised a brood
OF chicks in summer time-seven-
ty-five chicks coming to maturity,
and the profits Oh these chicks
above food cost was equal to the
income from the eggs. In other
words, the profits above food cost
from these eight hens was more
than 5000 per hen.
OF course the best OF care and
attention was given and of course.
these eight hens weie pure-bred- :
bred TO do that very thing, but all
three products were reckoned at
regular market prices, not fancy
prices. This is the lessen we de-
sire to impress on Our farmers ::
Good breeding, good feeding, good
care will give good profits.
Since the chemical analysis of an
egg and of young roasting hick-
Gil is almost identical, we may say
in the outset that there is little diff
ference in feeding for eggs and
feeding for flesh.
An egg is about twothirds wa
ter, one-eighth albumen, one-tentl'
lime, and one-twelfth fat. 1t is
giving the hen the proper raw ma
terials at the proper time that CON
stitutes good feeding.
Hens suffer more from lack ol
pure, fresh water than from almos
any other cause. Even the hen a.
liberty is often compelled to drinl

LITTLE ACTS OF KINDNESS

tWritten for The Sentinel)
Little Acts of kindness
That on others we bestow
As the journey OF our lives
We are pursuing
Carry with them sunshine
And little we may know
The real good to others
They are doing.
Kind words fifty chosen
When they are timely said.
As the dews refresh the flowers
To which they're clinSing
Falls on some heart that's frozen
Some spirit that is sad,
And sets the silent joy-bells
There to ringing. fh
When the days seem all so lonely
And melancholy mopes
Together with the long
And lingering hours
When lost seems all ambition
And dearest fondest hopes
Seems withered like the autumn
Leaves and flowers.
As the early morning sunbeams
That herald forth the day
Through the gloom that nigh. has
gathered
Piercing shining a
Acts and words of kindness
With cheerful rag
Give the overhanging clouds
A silver lining.
Acts and words of kindness
Are life's sunbeams all aglow-
By them the world is better made
And brighter.
As we bear each others burdens
As on through life we go
The burdens that we carry
Seemeth lighter.
They make q bright oasis
Amidst life's desert gloom
Around which memory ever
Fondly fingers.
Along life's rugged pathway
They make fair flowers to bloom,
That withers not at times,
Destroying fingers.
Then let us scatter sunbeams
AZ life we journey through
So many hearts for warmth
And light are pining
Little acts of kindness
That you and I may ID
In some dark heart may set
light to shining.

kHo~R TACT thai many persons GA the
Western Slope refuse 10 send their
children b Gaanlson on account #
the presence Of the saloons THIS
Is not the word Of any one person
bat rs attested by numerous letters
snd personal statements. froaa-
nent men have said that sBless Gun
uison should rid itself Of the menace
oi the SALOON, they would ePenly
oppose sending young people b tins
school.
Again it rs argued that CLOSING
the saloons will result in a deprecIa-
ton o. property value. Gunnisoa
has had saloons for thirty -four years
and during thai tims property de
creased in value until hundreds Of
lots could have been bought for the
taxes ID is a well known fact that
thiS bttttdSf ttbtlihtu
checked by the coming Of the State
Normal School, but with the estab-
lIshment Of this school, property
values increased and our vacant
houses were filed. Look the prob
lem squarely in the face. How
much would your property have in
creased in value If the Normal had
not been established here?
We contend that closing the
saloons does not cause a deprecia
tion of property values in support OF
which contention we produce the
following:
Montrose, Colo. March rs. 1913
The prohibition of saloons has caused
no depreciation in valuation of property
or rentals in general. but has brought
us an improved citizenship, cleaner
streets, better stores, more prompt
payment of general obligations and
public revenues.

CITIZENS PARTY

The arguments for and against
issuing licenses for the sale Of liquor
have been before the people for
years A great many Of us maintain
that even from a moral standpoint,
it is better TO have saloons, con
Quoted in public places, under the
supervision of police regulations,
than TO have no license and to have
liquor either shipped direct to the
individual OF sold by stealth in
cellars, alleys, dives or even private
residences. As long as the govern
ment allows intoxicating liquor TO
be manufactured, it will be sold
either openly in the saloons, under a
license, or disposed of by stealth and
bootlegging, in which case not only
those that sell it, but those that use
1T, are law breakers and subject to
prosecution. 1t seems to us that in
Gunnison, we have been especially
fortunate, as TO the enforcement of
the law regulating saloons With a
very few exceptions, the proprletors
of our saloons have endeavored to
help enforce the law and have
assisted the authorities in seeing
that the Law is obeyed, as to the sale
of intoxicating liquor. Our saloon
men are all tax payers and have al
ways been found ready to contribute
10 any enterprise to improve the
town, on help those who are in need
While the question, as to whether
licensing saloons is benefit or an
injury to any town or community, Is
. debatable one, there seems TO us
no opportunity for debate and thai
there is no question as to the fac
that it would be unwise to make
Gunnison a dry town at this time

everyone knows, we have recently
contracted for new machinery for
the hight and water plant and for
the construction of a reservoir,
which will cost in the neighbor
hood of $l5,000OO Under the
present conditions we estimate
that this latter Indebtedness can
be paid of, at the rate Of e4W 90
a month, or approximately S50O00
a year, the same amount which at
the present time we are deriving
from the saloons by license and by
receipts from their use Of light and
water. II therefore the town Of
Gunnison is voted dry at the coming
election, the town tax will have 10
be increased TO raise this deficiency
Of $1,000 90 year In view of the
fact that there is a grave doubt in
the first place, as to the sdvisibillly
of doing away with the saloons, from
a moral standpoint, in view Of the
fact that Gunnison is just commenc
ing to be prosperous and to be able
TO meet it's current Indebtedness
promptly; in view of the fact that 1T
is absolutely necessary to install the
new machinery already contracted
for and to build new reservoir; and
in view Of the fact that without the
license and revenue from the saloons
we will lose the S50O000 a year
which we have relied upon 20 use, in
paying for our new machinery and
reservoir, and without it a special
tax to raise the above amount will
be necessary; we repeat. Is THE IN
opportune time to abolish the
saloons, even if you believe that such
action would ultimately be benefit
to the morals of the town II there
is no change in policy for the next
few years. by economy in the town
management, we can build additional
sidewalks, improve Our streets, ex-
tend our water mains, install up-to-
date light and water machinery and
build new reservoir, which is i'm
perative, and pay for these improve
mepts without raising the town taxes
one cent II we abolish the saloons,
we will have to raise at least
$5OO0Oo year, by a special tax. to
have as much money as we nov have,
which is all too little with which TO
pay current expenses and for the
improvements which seem absolutely
necessary. Before casting your bal
lot on April lst, for dry town,
think the matter over. II YOU are
not convinced that the above state

tanning the saloons attribute the
prosperity that we now enjoy to the
fact that this is saloon town.
We can very plainly show that we
owe our prosperity to An entirely
different source. Let us consider
whether this wave of prosperity ID
not due to the establishment of the
State Normal School in our midst
A survey of the business value of the
summer term of 1912 showed there
were one hundred ten teachers and
students in Gunnison. The average
board paid by these was six dollar.
per week. This item alone amounts
to $4,000. In addition TO this
putting il conservatively, each per
son spent at least $500 during ths
SIX weeks, making over 81, l,65000
At the lowest estimate this summer
term alone brought over S5,6O00t
in cold cash into Gunnison. Tn,
present attendance at the Norma
School brings business to Gunnisor
amounting to over fifteen hundred
dollars a month This shows tht
source of our prosperity. 1t is alb
surd to attribute this wave of pros
perity to the saloons. Indeed, wer,
it not for the saloons we would nov
have larger attendance at our Nor
NAL School and proportionately in
creased prosperity. for it is a vel

Gunnison news-champion., 1913-03-28

This also suggests a sufficient
answer to the argument that the
saloons are necessary to provide city
improvements and pay the public
debt. The city has been receiving
license money from the saloons for
about thirty four years, and yet, in
spite of this fact our present bonded
Indebtedness is over 100000.
And we must now incur . further
Indebtedness of $l5,00OO0 to
provide an adequate light aud water
plant Advocates Of the saloon have
said this Indebtedness will be paid
from money received from the
licenses and that no increased tax
levy will be necessary. Such has
hot been the case in the past, for, as
noted above, our indebtedness is al
ready over 100000 and this in
debtedness. instead of being paid off
at the rate Of $5'O00.00 . year with
license money, must now be in
creased by at least $l5.00OOo
What reason have We to believe that
the license money will pay off more
Indebtedness in the future than it
has in the past?
Another argument is that to close
the saloons will result in a greatly
increased tax levy. Closing the
saloons in an incorporated town can
not increase the state and county
tax. Now as to the town tax: The
total assessed valuation Of Gunnison
town property is S3lo,000.o0. The
town receives at present S3.250.Oo
from saloon licenses If the saloons
were closed, and if property should
be taxed to provide the amount now
paid by the saloons, it would neces-

CLUB DANCE.

The club dance, Thursday evening,
while not so largely attended as the
previous one had been, was still a very
pretty and pleasing affair. Those pres
ent from a distance were the Misses
Morrison of Pointe Coupee, Miss Ma
bel Moore of Natchitoches, Mr.. Mum
dinger, Clarence Bondy of New Roads,
Robert Beale of Baton Rouge.
Some violations of the club regula.
tons with regard to type of dances
were observed, although not in an ex
aggerated way. 1t is clear that if the
majority be determined to keep this
town apart from the Objectionable
trend in dancing, it must adopt some
farther reaching rule than the present
one. No one cares to do police duty a
