Legislation that will
Help San Luis Vale,

DENVER, Colo, April s.--Attor-
ney General Fred Farrar is prepar-
ing recommendation that the fed
eral government lift any ban on the
use of the waters of the Rio Grande
river in Colorado.
Accompanied by State Engineer
John Field, Farrar recently visited
the San Luis valley and found 100,-
900 acres of land which could not be
cultivated by settlers because they
are not allowed to use the waters OF
the Rio Grande for irrigation. Gov
ernment officials have denied water
rights to Colorado settlers because
they fear there is not enough water
for the Elephant Butte dam now be-
ing constructed in New Mexico. This
dam, when completed will irrigate
land in New Mexico and 10000 acres
in Old Mexico.
Farrar and Field object to this dis
elimination against Colorado farm
ers. Farrar will attempt to prove
that the flow of the Rio Grande is
seven times as great as required for
the Elephant Butte project.

Farmers Protest
CiN's Stall Rents

DENVER, Colo, April S.-Twelve
hundred truck garden and fruit farm
ers near Denver are preparing to pro-
test new city market relations which
provide for the payment of stall rent
ais six months in advance. The farm.
ers contend that this new order Of
city council will benefit only commits
sion merchants while 1t will force the
price of garden truck and fruit sky
high.
In previous years the farmer has
bid for a city stall and the highest
bidder paid his rent from month to
month. Beginning May l., the farm.
ers who wish to use the city stalls
must pay rental six months in ad.
vance. The truck gardeners say they
are unable to accumulate sufficien,
fund in advance to meet such rentals
and that the result will be they viii
be forced out of the market. Anyway
they say, the average annual use OF
stalls is only four months.

PUEBLO, Colo, April 8.-Should
the directors of the state fair this
year decide to have Better Babies
contest, which they probably will, a
number Of important changes will be
made in the manner of awarding
prizes.
Secretary Beaman of the state fair
board, has received letter from Mrs.
Anna S. Richardson, of the better
babies bureau of the Woman's Home
Companion offering several valuable
suggestions. She says there will be
no cash prizes this year SO far as she
is concerned. She urges that the
fairs do not give cash prizes this
year as physicians consider it very
bad for both parents and children.
Under the new rules the standards of
competition will run from six months
to sixty so that children five years
old may be entered.

QUO vADIS ACME
OF MOVING PICTURES

We never have seen an audience
more graspingly wrought up than
over some of the episodes in Quo
Vadis as it was presented in the NOV
ing picture production at the Gem
Monday night.
The spacious theater was so crowd
ed that several hundred people were
turned away. Those fortunate enough
to gain admission claim the produc-
tion is superior to Antony and Cleo
patra, which is equivalent to saying
that it is the greatest moving picture
ever produced.
The story is laid in Rome during
the reign Of Nero and centers around
the life of the cruel despot. The
thrilling incidents of his career are
presented in rapid succession.
The spectacular drama is particu-
larly suited for a moving picture
production and is especially well
staged and excellently cast.
1t is divided into three parts, "The
Imperial Banquet" "The Burning OF
Rome," and "The Christian Martyrs
In the last scene the reign of the ty.
rant comes to an end.
The signal of revolt is given and
the legions acclaim Galboa emperor
while Nero seeks safety in flight. He
learns that his enemies are rapidly
closing in upon him and determines
TO take his own life. At the critical
moment his courage fails him, but
one Of his followers comes to his aio
and pierces his heart with dagger
Many Of those who attended Mon
day night have signified their inten

by The Way
(Communicated.)

Referring to the series of self
laudatory articles in Tuesdays Demo-
crat, telling the general public what
the aforesaid Democrat, with the as
sistance of Congressman Taylor, had
done for the public land settlers, in
this community, by eliminating sur
face titles, the writer wishes to state
that the articles only serve to illus
trate the ignorance and thicle-headed-
ness of the morning sheet" and its
management respecting actual condi-
tions of the public lands of this sec
ton.
In the first place, no such thing as
a surface title has ever been issued
by the United States government.
The government has issued patents
reserving the coal to itself, and will
continue to do so, the new law hav-
ing no tendency to stop that practice.
The Democrat has constantly ad-
vertised the fact, and to the material
injury of everyone in the southwest
holding limited patents, that the
holders of these patents had title
only to the surface, which IL so, would
preclude digging wells for artesian
water or even owning the graves Of
loved ones. This is all an untruth.
The holders of these patents own the
land in fee simple to the center Of
the earth, reserving only the coal to
the government in event such coal
exists. There is vast difference be-
tween a patent with coal reservation
and a surface title, difference which
