game. The unpreparedness OF the
United States for war really needs no

mony before the country for educa-
tional purposes. The substance OF
any testimony they might give Is In
fact contained in practically every
annual report made by the war
branches OF the government. The
president; however, is cooperating
with Chairman Henry, OF the rules
committee, who has announced that
military men cannot talk unless they
are summoned by the committee,
which would require a vote by the
committee, which is equivalent TO re-

THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY.

Bloodshot Pete had spent all Of
the night before at the poker ia
bic In Alkall Mikes Palace De
Seven-Up.
That night at s:32 the Gulf
express was TO pass through the
mountains with $s71,232.74 in
gold.
At 7 p. m. Bloodshot Pete wan
dered into Tip Buckets place and
called for large mug Of srog.
Then he walked drowsily over
to a chair beside the warm stove
and tipped himself back against
the wall
Four men, masked and with
their guns drawn, stood crouched
behind rock at the side of the
tracks Of the L. z. & M.
A glow of bright light shining
across the canyon signalled the
approach of the Gulf Express
coming up the mountain side and
nearing the curve.
BIoodshot Pete dashed out from
behind the rock and placed red
lantern on the track.
His companions joined him as
the locomotives whistle sounded
a shrill blast, as there came the
scraping Of brakes tightly set and
as the train came to standstili.
The engineer and fireman we're
quickly covered and the train cut,
leaving only the express car to
the engine, and then the engineer
was ordered to pull mile down
the track.
The small safe in the express
car yielded only one long bag, but
II was crammed full Of gold, and
heavy.
Il was all the four train rob-
bers could do to lift IL through
the door.
The engineer was ordered
with his engine back TO the train
and opened his throttle, obeying
the word.
From the disappearing express
car, however, there sounded four
quick shots and the three COM
panions Of Bloodshot Pete fell
dead In their tracks.
"ooodl" exclaimed Bloodshot
Pete, "the swag ls all mine"
But when BIoodshot Pete went
TO lift the bag Of gold, he couldn't
bulge II.
There were loops on each side
OF the BAG at it's top and grasp
Ina a loop in each hand, Blood
shot Pete tuseed and tugsed, and
pulled and pulled, but the best he
could do was TO make progress by
Inches.
In desperation he would grasp
the loops again and again and
tug and tug, until suddenly there
was a snap and giving away
and spill.

ened suddenly and picked himself
up from the floor beside the stove.

attitudes The seed is somewhat
scarce, consequently it brings a good
price on the market.
In regions where alfalfa can be sue
cessfully grown. sweet clover should
not be given very prominent place
in its agriculture. either as a forage
or seed producing crop.
For the production of seed either
the first or second growth of the
second years crop should be saved
The one to leave for the above pur.
pose will be governed largely by the
length OF the growing season.
The time to cut sweet clover for
seed is when three-fourths OF the pods
have become dark brown or dark in
color. The crop may be harvested in
much the same manner as alfalfa. the
ordinary grain binder or header being
used. Sometimes the crop may be cut
with the ordinary mower. after which
IL is raked and stacked. When cut
with the binder it is first shocked and
stacked. When cut with the header
the crop is usually sacked shortly af-
ter cutting. Good average yields
range from two to six bushels per

This short article is written to call
the attention of the alfalfa growers in
Colorado to the injury done by this
insect with the hope that specimens
of any insect or insects injurious to
this plant that may be suspected to
be due to this weevil may be sent to
the Experiment Station for examina-

numbers, the injury will usually be
noticed first by the holes in the al
falfa leaves close to a bud where the
little green worms are feeding
