Salvation in Stock Farming.

Besides being the head of the state
of Colorado. Governor E. NJ. Ammons
is also president of the National West
ern Stock show, and if called upon to
resign one of these jobs the governor
admits himself that he would stick to
the stock show
Not that / do not appreciate fully
the honor of being governor of a
great state like Colorado, but l sim
cerely believe that our annual stock
show is doing more to build up our
Rocky mountain section than all of the
governors combined" said the govern
or. Il have been worrying over the
coal strike. and believe it has done
much TO injure the state. but whatever
the damage the stock show in Janu-
airy will go 'ar to remedy 1t. When
our people get together on the stock
show, not only from Colorado. but
from all the Rocky mountain states,
they gather some appreciation OF
what our livestock and agriculture is
doing, and any western man who at
tends this great exposition and does
not go away cheered and confident OF
the future of this section is lacking in
perception and enthusiasm. The sal
walton of the west is in stock farming
and the stock show is enabling our
people to understand this fact and helr
in the agricultural development in an
intelligent manner, In the past year
Colorado has made an increase in agri
cultural production of fully 40.o0O,Oot
over the previous year. This is a rec
ord to be proud of, and l attribute 8
large part of this success TO the eff
fects of the lessons taught at the an
nual stock show"

THAW WINS THREE BATTLES
Fugitive in jail After Victory Over

brooke that would have done honor
to a prince of royal blood.
The three points In which Thaw's
lawyers were successful In their first
legal skirmish were:
1. New York state was denied the
right to be party to the proceedings
In court.
2. Counsel for the state failed IN
their. efforts to have Thaw arraigned
before a magistrate and the commit
ment on which he Is held quashed.
8, Judge Globensky granted the
plea Of Thaw's counsel for discon-
tinuance of the writ Of habeas corpus
which might have brought about bis
release. This remedied a strategic
blunder made last week by Thaw's
attorneys. who apparently did not
realize then that In seeking their
clients release they were playing into
the opposition's hands.
