peace and good feeling. As mat
ter of fact the beer stimulates that
nasty spirit of fighting and the men
do many things when under the in
fluenee of this harmless beer that
they will not do when using only cold
water. coffee and tea.
But perhaps the most iteresting
statements are made in connection
with a discussion Of the laws pro-
viding for the teaching of scientific
temperance in our common schools
1t is insisted that the textbooks are
mess of unscientific and exagerat-
ed statements prepared under the
censorship of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. That the intro
duction of this study was not made
in response to a general public de-
mand but through the efforts of this
organization. II is not hinted at that
this body OF women are the mothers
of numberless BOYS. some of whom
have been led to destruction by the
saloon and its influence. The book
is more and more interesting the
more it is studied and ought to be
generally useful in the coming cam
paign.
Two copies of the Commercial" A."
the Denver publication of which our
warm friend r. e. Turpin, is the edi-
tor, has been mailed to me. 1t is
booster sheet for the entire state
and particularly for Denver, and
contains a large amount OF very live
matter from every section II is a
new departure for the Denver Cham
Der OF Commerce and emphasizes the
fact that with the rest OF the state
prosperous Denver is sure to enjoy
prosperity.
This same Chamber of Commerce
is going to take an active part in
the fight this fall to prevent the
state from going dry and justifies
the position on the ground that the
business interests Of that city need
the stimulant to business, which the
saloon is supposed to give. 1t is un-
usual for non-partisan body repre-
senting all classes OF interests to take
part in such a movement, and is in
line with the action to prevent the
curtailing of passes on the railroads
because they brought more people
into the city to trade.
Miss Gladys Wells is in the city
visiting old-time girl friends: she is
A graduate of our high school and
for the past two years has been teach
ing in Idaho in order to get the
funds to take kindergarten course
at the Teachers College in Greeley.
1t is remarkable the number of the
young people in this county who are
taking higher courses in education
and doing so through their own ef-
forts. 1t would be interesting to have
list OF such students for the past
fifteen or twenty years and our edu-
cational institutions are doing a great
work in providing so many of such
students with positions during their
student work.
might mention great many
just from a casual glance over the
field. Kenneth Orr is at work at
Columbia, Mo-, and has made rapid
progress the past year, paying every
cent OF his expenses; the Rhone boys
and Miss Laura have been doing re-
markable work in the state institu-
tions the past half dozen years and
the Miller boys of the Plateau VAL
ley are getting a good education and
earning II for themselves: Wynn
Ross is at Colorado Springs, working
on the Gazette while pursuing his
studies, Harold Aupperle is studying
at Stanford on funds earned in the
newspaper work, and Frank. Melvin
and Bruce Knight are also working
their way to higher education.
Misses Bessie and Eva Knight also
took several years of college work
mainly by their own efforts. 1t
would be an interesting story il one
could get the names and work done
by our ambitious children They
know what they have when it comes
that way.
The Denver Field and Farm sug-
gests that every orchardist ought to
have a small canning outfit with
which to take care OF the waste
fruits That suggestion is on a par
with much that We find in the agri-
cultural papers The practical grow
er would have little use for such
plant il he takes proper care of the
marketable stuff and the more time
he devoted to a small cannery the
less marketable fruit he would have.
