From Wilderness.

No doubt the run of the continent"
has improved the fiber of the Ameri-
can people. OF course, the we'll estab-
lished and the intellectuals had no mo-
tive to seek the west; but in energy
and venturesomeness those who sought
the frontier were superior to the
average of those in their class who
stayed behind. 1t was the pike rather
than the carp that found their way
out of the pool. Now, in the main,
those who pushed through the open
door of opportunity left more children
than their fellows who did not. Often
themselves member Of large families,
they had fecundity, as it were, in the
blood With land abundant and the
outlook encouraging, they married
earlier. In the narrow life of the
young west, love and family were
stronger interests than in the older
society; hence all married. Thanks
to cheap living and to the need of
helpers, the big family was welcomed.
Living by agriculture, the west knew
little of cities, manufactures, social
rivalry, luxury and serving class, all
foes of rapid multiplication.-Fro

No Joke.

At the Chicago Athletic club a
game had been put up on cynical
old bachelor. The man had waited
from eight to ten in the park on a
snowy evening in obedience to a
pale pink, violet-scented note that his
friends had faxed in order to see if
he was really as confirmed a woman
hater as he claimed.
Turning up at the club for night
cap, the duped and frozen bachelor
was very sullen and sulky when his
friends derided him. He saw no fun
whatever in the fake note.
George AIDE, noticing his black and
lowering looks, gave a loud laugh and
said:
What a skinfint you must be-!
Won't even laugh at q joke, Ell, If it's
at your own expense!"

FAKE LAND AND IRRIGATION
COMPANY GETS LAST KNOCKOUT

| The Riverside Land and Irrigation
company. most of whose officers are
under prison sentence or dead. was
given a final death blow in district
court at Grand Junction last week
when Judge Cavender threw out of
court the suit for $4,000 damages
brought against R. H. Sawyer and his
associates, former owners of the Elk
Glen orchards.
According to the suit brought by
the plaintiff which has since been in
yolved in considerable trouble with the
United States government, some OF the
promoters having been convicted of
fraud, the company had an option on
the land and reservoir sites from John
Ternahan, and claimed to have turned
it over to Sawyer on the understand
ing that the reservoir sites were to
be reserved for the irrigation com
pany,
The suit demanded that the defend
ant be compelled to carry out the a
greement, and aso asked for $4,000
damages. Judge Black sustained a de-
murrer dismissing the case and an
appeal was taken to the court OF ap-
peals. In a recent ruling the higher
court sustained Judge Black affirming
his decision, but held that the plain
tiff company had a right to show any
damages it may have sustained.
Saturday morning the case was be-
fore Judge Cavender, the Riverside
company not being represented and
S. G. McMullin appearing for Sawyer.
Mr. Sawyer and Mr.. Ternahan we're
both on the stand and denied any con
tract with the Riverside people for
transfer of either the land or the res
ervoir sites. Judge Cavender ordered
decree to issue quieting the title
in the property in Sawyer and his as
sociates.
The Riverside Land and Irrigation
company will be remembered by many
! cal people as a wild cat concern
which organized with a million dollars
capital and promised to build a sys-
TEN of irrigation works through about
a hundred miles of mountains and
valleys, which were ignored by the
engineers in drawing up their plans.
The government denied the company
the use of the mails, and later some
OF the promoters were convicted and

ognized until Noah leaves the ark
and even then a reservation against
animal food is noticeable.
The eating of animal food is probab-
ly largely due to the pleasure 1t af-
fords The palate. Abundant evidence
exists that it is not absolutely neces-
sary to maintaining the human body
in high state of health; in fact, we
have good reason to believe that many
of the ills that affect mankind are
directly or indirectly due to meat eat
ing. Less Objectionable, perhaps, is
the eating of certain animal products
such as milk and eggs. The eating
of animal food may be also brought
about largely by the fact that it may
be kept until needed Most food ami

life They are not products OF a sea

NEW VALUES ON CATTLE
FIXED BY ASSESSORS.

At the recent meeting of Colorado's
schedule of values on cattle was
agreed upon. On the western slope
the assessed value will be a little
lower than elsewhere in the state be-
cause of greater distance to markets
and consequent increase in freight
rates, according to the reports of as
SCISSORS from this section.
The assessments agreed upon in
brief as a minimum, were as follows:
First grade cattle. s35 per head:
steer, punches. yearlings. $50; 2-year-
old, s45; mixed calves, 6 to 12 months
old, $50; beef cattle, ready for mar

In every schoolhouse in Prince Ed.

ing a creed for the American country
boy and dedicated to the Boys Corn
Club of Virginia has been posted. 1t
reads:
81 believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
of doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man. ! believe
that work with nature is more in
spring than work with the most intri-
cate machinery. believe that the dig
nifty of labor depends not on what you
do, but how you do it; that opportuni-
ty comes to boy on the farm as Of
ten as to a boy in the city; that life
is larger and freer and happier on the
farm than in the town; that my sue

but upon myself; not upon my

The Food Value Of Vegetables.

The early races of men were vege-
tarians exclusively. This was due
largely to the fact that the capturing
and killing of animals require wea-
pons and therefore until such things
were invented man had to be content
with what he could gather from the
trees, shrubs and herbs around him.
The domination over nature that man
now possesses is due to the weapons
that he forges Man cannot by nature
run as fast as the antelope, rise in
the air like bird, or live under wa
ter like n fish, but by means of the
stone thrown by the hand. then the
bow and arrow and the modern long
range gun, he can overtake the ante
lone. bring down the bird and with net
or hook catch the deepest fish.
