IN bundles, with the heads of the grain
one way, and work so smoothly and 90
such quick jab of it without getting
tired, or Stacking up on the speed
! throughout the days run, it makes one
marvel at the wonderful brain that
produced such 4 beneficial and useful
machine for mankind With the mil
lions of humans that are now on earth
it would be simply impossible to cut
all the grain that is now necessary to
feed the world, with the old style
cradle, that was the ban of terror to
the youths of 4 generation ago. It's
lots nicer to sit on the seat of an up-to-
date binder watch the grain fall be-
fore the sharp sickle, then elevated TO
the ingenious mechanism that holds a
bundle of grain, until a sufficient size,
then automatiely wraps twine around
it and ties it into a bundle with
| secure not-a knot that would beat the
finest skill of any deep sea sailor. Yet
it WAS only a generation ago when Ill
the grain had to be cut by means of
the hardest sweat and toll, when the
| harvester sweltered under a blazing
sun, and slowly felled the golden grain
with his rude implements of harvest,
| which, at that time were the only
means known OF devised to help him
in his task of feeding the world with
the staff Of life.
From Gypsum comes this little note:
"To Mr.. A. Q. Cumber, Huh-if
those Rifle girls are under the impress
sion that they can spell, they had bet
ter try to spell against some of the
girls Of Gypsum-you bet they would
never 60 telling you that they con.
sidered Themselves any classy spellers.
They would have nothing to say after
The Gypsum girls had shown what real
spelling was"
Geo whiz-are we going to be the
cause Of . turmoil that is apt to pat
that little AFFAIR over in Europe with
the hss-beensi Surely We would not for
the world want any of the Rifle girlies
and Gypsum girlies to get to honest
to goodness fighting over which of
them could claim the belt for the best
spelling ON the Western Slope. We
rather side in with the girls Of Rifle,
'eause We know them better, and also
have sort 6f hard impression
of Gypsum, for it SO happened that
few years ago, very exasperated
brakeman on q D. 4 r. G. west bound
freight kicked us of his train above
Gypsum, along about two a. m. and we
spent very chilly and uncomfortable
night in Gypsum, trying to keep from
freezing, while tucked away in the
depths of box car, partly filed with
hay.
Right here, let us suggest that a
good old-fashioned spelling bee, be pull
led of-the old kind of the days when
our grandmother and grand dads were
| little school chaps. 1t would not take
| much to have things started and to
get some inducements together, to have
the crack spoilers of the western Colo
RADIO face each other, and have it out.
The outcome would be of vast good to
all. Poor spoilers Qike myself and
| Arabela /, would be enlightened on this
useful subject, and many who have
got it in their noodles that they are
powerful good hands at spellin might
get a jolt or two that w2Gld convince
them otherwise. Come, let s get those
spoilers together, and have something
doing. Who will help us out? We need
elp.-HELP-HELP.
The big wind of last Saturday bowl
near the Rosebud cemetery, not that
the wind was so bad or like the twist
ers thaat keep things moving over
Kansas way, for we do not have such
winds in Colorado, but it does not take
much of blow to knock over the
pine telephone poles around here after
they begin to rot in the ground As is
the case After five or six years.
Miss Lucille Smith is spending n few
days in Grand Junction. where she
went last Sunday, TO cah on her many
friends and relatives down in the |
Peach city Of the Grand Valley.
Nike Calvick is putting in some new |
planks in the Cardiff bridge, and it's
most timely thing to do, for the
floor Of that bridge was really getting |
to he danaerous. especially since Pat |
