CURRENCY NO ONE DESIRES
Two o-DoIIar Bill More Of 4 Nuisance
Than Its Value Can BE Made
to Justify.

Countless persons who have some
time or other accepted change for one
dollar for two-dollar bill will be in
terested in the story of "Ole Prince"
Robinson, the colored barber in the
House barbershop at Washington.
When the sergeant-at-arms offered him
five 81 bills the other day as part of
his pay, Robinson waved them widely
away. declaring that every 81 bill car
ries with 1t the Egyptian curse" that
he would rather break a looking-glass
walk under ladder or turn back with
out making a cross-mark than take
81 bill, because it was a sure sign
of i'll luck.
Whether there is an Egyptian
curse" on the 80 not or not, there has
certainly been many an American
curse put on it. Itds the easiest thing
in the world, victims will tell you, to
pass out two for one and not dis
cover the loss until you begin search,
for that other dollar you had, but
haven't any more. A currency reform
that would eliminate the 81 bill and
the hoodoo at the same time would
be reform that would save money
for generations to come.

BOARD WANTS MORE SETTLERS

Leases for Big Tracts Of Land to Ds
Offered Home Seekers.
Denver.-An active campaign to
bring settlers to Colorado has been
started by the State Land Board. and
figures are being compiled showing all
unleased agricultural and grazing land
In the state.
Twenty-Five thousand one hundred
and forty acres of good grazing land
fs lying unleased in Park county. ac-
cording to data compiled by the board.
The data show that but 3,720 acres
are leased In the county.
The most notable discovery made
by the board is that while much of
the land is held without lease or with
leases expired, large part Of the 25.-
900 acres has been made untenable
because Of the shutting in of water
holes by persons who lease only 5000
acres.
The board is also preparing to lease
. tract of 10000 acres Of the best graz
ing land of the state located in Ell
Paso, Fremont and Teller counties.
The land lies half way between Cafion
City and Colorado Springs and was
formerly known as the Gumar pasture.
The new state highway to the south
runs to the west of the pasture, while
Red creek passes directly through the
center.
The lease was cancelled year and
half ago and the fences were confis-
Gated. It will be necessary for the
state to fence the acreage along the
new highway. The board announces
that this land is open for immediate
use.
Fifty-five thousand acres OF land in
Kiowa, Bent and Prowers county will
be offered to lessees as soon as an
investigation is completed by tho
board. The land is near the reservoir
Of the Arkansas Valley Sugar Beet
and Irrigated Land Company and
some of it reaches into the reservoir
and is capable of irrigation. There
is also a spring on the land.
A large port of this land was never
leased but has been used by the sheep
men of that section.
Near this land are los sections con-
tanning $1,000 acres, which is also to
be offered to lessees as soon as an
Investigation OF the present leases is
completed.

ON BAKED TUBERS

POTATO FESTIVAL.
Yields Of Western slope Fieids This
Year Give Farmers Renewed
Hope Of Prosperity.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Glenwood Springs. Colo.-With four
teen quarters Of beef, 5000 baked po-
tatoes. scores Of leaves Of bread and
gallons OF coffee and other good
things to tempt the appetite, Carbon.
dale celebrated her fourth annual po-
tato festival and was hostess to hun
dreds. Of Western Slope people who
entered the festivities with a gusto
which comes rs result Of the bumper
crops harvested throughout this Sec
tion of the slope.
Never in the history of Carbondale
have such crops of potatoes been gath
cred in the Roaring Fork valley. An
idea Of the yield IL found in the fol-
lowing:
Charles Nov harvested 1862 sacks Of
115 pounds each from measured acre.
He got $50 sacks an acre from fifteen
acres.
George Sievers loaded eight carloads
Of potatoes from seven acres of his
ranch.
Max Grubb, SON of Gene Grubb, the
potato expert, will harvest 100 cars
Of fine tubers. Lou and Frank Sweet
will do equally as well from their
fields.
Indications now are that the entire
$500 acres of potatoes in the Carbon
dale district will average better than
300 bushels to the acre this year.
The country surrounding Carbondale
is beehive of activity and potato
diggers and pickers are being pushed
to the limit to get the big crop in
cellars. Twelve pickers on the Grubb
ranch in one day picked 1431k sacks
each. This is the record for the dis
trict, and is believed to beat. any rec
ord in the state. The men are receiv
ing cents a sack and board for their
work. Fourteen pickers on the Sweet
ranch pick 1900 sacks day.
The potato raisers are putting their
tubers In cellars which hold from
thirty to fifty carloads. They have
shipped several hundred carloads faom
the district. but are now holding for
q higher price than is offered.
But their potato crop is not the only
source of profit, for forty-five cars Of
cattle were loaded at Redstone, south
of Carbondale, and ground has already
been secured for the location Of a
marble-finishing mill which will en-
ploy from $50 to 200 men throughout
the year. And Carbondale folks made
merry with feasting, dancing and
street sports. while Rifle and Marble
bands enlivened the affair with con-
certs.

it. I will say it is the only remedy
for spring and all other ailments"
No argument is needed for Peruna.
Just get a bottle and try it. If
you have catarrh Of the stomach you
have serious trouble. If you want
to find a remedy it would be very easy
to make the experiment Before you
have taken Peruna a week you will
likely find yourself better, then you
will need no testimonials on the part
of other people, or arguments to con-
vince you. Until you try Peruna,
however, all the testimonials in the
world and arguments, however log
ical, will not move you. Just one
trial of Peruna will convince you.
Persons who object to liquid medi-
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.
