After seeing the wonderful
growth that is produced in other
states by irrigation it is certainly
too bad that more cannot be done
along the line in this state. The
people who live along the Mis-
souri, river could do lrrigating to
a CERTAIN extent at least. No one
should become discouraged If
their first feeble attempt did
not prove successful. 1t took Colo
RADIO fifty years to perfect their
but now they have something.
The soil in North Dakota is at
least fifty per cent better than
that in Colorado. When the land
here is watered, the moisture
soaks in and the benefits from it
help the crops for several days.
In Colorado water has to run al
most continuously as the land is
like a sieve. It IS so sandy that
the day after a rain a sworn af-
fidavit could not convince you
that they had had rain within a
month. We have the land and all
need is the water to make
this state the food basket Of the
Union.

lette, Josephus Daniels, secre-
tary Of the navy and w. H. Page,
who has been appointed to a

1t was Oliver Goldsmith who
said: 1.-The man who leaves home
to mend himself and others is
a philosopher and | esteem the
traveller who instructs the heart.
With this in mind everyone should
take a vacation at least once a
year. If you cannot travel a
great distance just go to a
locality where you have not been
for some time, talk to the people,
in other words get out Of the
rut where you have been hiber-
mating for a year. You have for
gotten what a big world this is
after all. There IS no question
about the educational value of
travel. You may not believe all
you see or half you hear but it
will set your thoughts going in
a new channel and that is what
many need. Think. it over and
then-act.

In another column Of this.issue
will be found a brief outline OF
the trip taken by the National
Editorial Association this year.
1t is hard to give an account that
will do justice to the hospitality
shown the press on the trip. But
one thing that will be especially
remembered and that is the CO.
operation Of the whole state to
make our trip a pleasant one.
Each town could have done a
little and it would have received
some recompense but the All-Colo
RADIO committee knew that what
benefited one city would benefit
the whole state, and with that
spirit they received us. What
We did not learn Of the mining,
agricultural and fruit growing
country was not their fault but
ours.

Colorado's Superlatives

We would hate to think that
the advertising man in Colorado
told anything but the truth as
the following is a list Of a few
of the things he told us-and we
believed him:
The state Of Colorado has the
most beautiful scenery of any one
state in the Union.
Greedy has the largest pea cam
ming factory in the United Stat
Altman is the highest incor-
porated town in the world.
Estes Park is the home Of one
Of the most interesting and ac-
curate of present day nature
writers-Emos A. Mills.
Pixies Peak is Americas most
noted mountain. At the summit
is the highest telegraph station
in the world.
Mt. Manitou has the longest,
highest and greatest incline
railway in the world.
Colorado Springs has the best
climate, best mineral water, wild
est and best kept streets and the
greatest variety Of wonderful
scenery within one days trip OF
any city it's size in the United
States.
Denver is the best lighted city
in the world; it has the largest
stadium in the west, seating ca
pacity $4,000; largest flag in the
world, size 137x68 and largest.

CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH ITEMS

For his subject at the last Vesper
service the pastor spoke of some
of the events recorded which took
place at evening time. He spoke
Of the crossing Of the Red Sea,
which showed that no darkness
is so intense to Gods servants
that their leader cannot bring
the morning light. Nehe-
miah examined the broken walls
Of Jerusalam by night that he
might know. the work required.
Nicodemus went to church by
night at which time Christ spoke
those most precious words:
"God so loved the world, ETC."
and closed with the gift Of the
Holy Ghost in the evening Of
the first Sunday service.
. Next Sunday will be the last
one Of the Vesper services for
this summer. The subject will be
"Meditations at Evening Time"
The pastors vacation will CON-
mence Monday and continue for
two weeks. Evening services will
be omitted but the Sunday
school will be held each Sunday
morning at eleven o'clock.
Miss Meta Mitchell was the
teacher for the Beginners class
while Miss Hazel McCulloch en-
joyed her vacation. New schol-
ars are promised for this class
next Sunday.

Modesty in girls dress seems
to be a thing Of the past. The
all too-transparent waist, the dis
play Of under-ribbons, the in
excusab'v short sleeves, low-cut
neck, thinnest texture Of stock

that should be talked Of at moth

The reunion Of the Blue and
the Gray at Gettysburg is over.
It was a great event for the old
soldiers and their last days will
be happier for this meeting. 1t
is to be regretted that the heat
was SO intense that three were
overcome, but the majority Of the
men stood the long trip and ex-
citement better than anticipated.
The fiftieth anniversary Of the
battle Of Gettysburg was cele-
brated by 10000 men.

disappear. The zero weather on
the Peak felt like mid-winter and
after having a game of snow ball
the descent was made.
All the above mentioned trips
were taken in four days. On the
fifth day the press members
were the guests Of the town Of
Manitou. In the morning large
Packard automobiles, built for
mountain climbing carried us
up a sixteen-mile scenic road to
Crystal Park. To make the climb
at an easy grade the road had to
be built back and forth across the
side Of the mountain and at one
place you could see eight stretch
es Of road, one below the other.
Nearly 5000 feet above the sea
level lies this beautiful park Of
over 1000 acres. 1t was purchas
ed from the estate Of the late
John Hay, secretary Of state I'M
der Mckinley. 1t was up here in
a log cabin that Secretary Hay
wrote the life Of Lincoln. From
this height mountains and plains
are again gazed at and it all
looks as new and beautiful as
when first seen while taking the
High Drive.
The second attraction at Mani
tou was the Cave Of the Winds.
The cave is one mile from Mani
tou in Williams canon and the trip
there is made in a tallyho. The
cave was discovered in 1880 by
two small boys who received
nothing for their find. The jour
ney underground through the cav
is about three-fourths of a mile.
The cave is not one large, damp
cavern, but there are fifteen
rooms and each well lighted by
electricity. One man in our
party had been in Mammoth cave
and in comparing the two said
there are a greater variety Of
crystallized formations in the
Gave Of the Winds than in Nam
moth, also, it is better lighted, yas
in the latter only torches are
used. A person feels as though =
second trip should be made befoi:
