Rainfall for September.


In Pueblo. according TO the wealth
er bureau. September was the dryest
month since 1892. The precipita-
tion for the month was only SO
inches. The normal rainfall for
Pueblo during September. taken from
the records OF thirty years. Is .ss
Inches. which means that the rainfall
has been only about half what II
should be. In Denver II was even
dryer than in Pueblo. the rainfall
for the month measuring only OF
Inches. The rainfall in La Junta
during the month Of September was
IA inches. as compared to .54 inch
es for the same month Of the previ-
Gus year. January was the dryest
month we have had this year. the
total precipitation for that month
being IL inches. During the nine
months Of the present year we have
had total rainfall Of 1917 inches.
and this Is greatly In excess Of the
normal. which averages about IL
inches per annum. During the
month there were four days on which
II rained. and on three days there
was Just a trace OF moisture.
The weather throughout the month
has been ideal. the mornings
and evenings being delightfully."-
cool. and although the temperature
at midday has sometimes been rather
torrid. there has not been a trace Of
frost. In fact, roses are still bloom
Ing in the editors backyard Of even
greater beauty and finer texture than
were In evidence during the good
old summer time. The temperature
at midday has sometimes been rath-
er torrid. but on the whole no one
could hope or wish for finer days

The Home Paper.

Ex- Governor Francis once said
the following Of newspapers:
Each year the local paper gives
from $500 to 81, 900 in free lines
TO the community in which it is
located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor, in pro-
portion to his means, does more
for his town than any other ten
men, and in all fairness he ought
to be supported-not because
you like him or admire his writ
ings, but because the local paper
is the best investment a commun-
ity can make. 1t may not be
brilliantly edited or crowded
with thought, but financially it
is of more benefit to the CON.
nunity than the teacher or the
preacher. Understand me, / do
not mean mentally and yet on
moral questions you viii find
most of the papers on the right
side. To-day the editors of the
local papers do the most for the
least money at any people on the
earth"

OH Drives Out Coal.

On account of the large production
Of petroleum in California, and its use
for fuel, coal mining has practically
ceased in that state. According to the
United States geological survey, the
production of coal in the last two
years has been only 10,747 tons in
1911, and 10.978 tons in 1912. The pro-
duction Of petroleum in California in
1912 was S6.450.767 barrels. of which
not less than 50,000,000 barrels was
used directly for fuel. Large quanti-
ties Of oil were also used in place Of
coal for gas making. and on the esti-
mate Of 3h barrels of petroleum being
equivalent to one ton Of ordinary
bituminous coal, 1t is probable that
from 100000 to 100000 tons OF
coal would be required to perform in
California the service now rendered by
petroleum in the production Of heat,
light and power. There is still, how
ever, some demand for coal in Califor-
MIA, particularly for domestic use and
for the bunker trade at San Francisco.
but this 10 almost exclusively supplied
by coal from other states Ok from
abroad--Coal Age-

A Oollar-What Is 1t?

A dollar-what is it? A piece
of paper, says one. No, more
than that. Circulating medium,
says one. No, more than that.
Something that you borrowed
from your friend. says another.
No. more than that.
That dollar is part of my life.
[ worked hard yesterday and
earned a dollar. l might have
spent it in a minutes time and
been no richer for the invest
ment, but did not spend it. It
was the only tangible thing I had
out of whole days existence.
The joy, the opportunity, and the
privileges of the day had gone
into the silence of the eternity
that had passed. Tha dollar is
my yesterday, l may spend it
and start tomorrow bankrupt.
I may keep it and tomorrow need
not work at all, because my yes
terday's dollar will pay for the
services of one who may do the
work better than myself, or, l
may work again tomorrow and
the next day and the next, and
save my yesterdays until | have
long years of yesterdays, strong
and capable of toll, who shall
labor for me and keep in comfort
when my body is too weak to
toll. A dollar is part of mans
life, and as he guards his health
to take care of the future, so
should he guard his dollars to Sc
cure the full service of the past.

A Boys Essay On Teeth.

A fifth grade school boy down
in Southeast Kansas was told to
write a composition on teeth and
the next day handed in the fol
lowing:
Teeth is growed in the mouth
of most animals 'cept hens. The
hen doesn't cbaw what she eats,
she just swallers it and then
says to her gizzard: go to it and
see what you can make out of
that. My ant fanny she has

why she didn It throw them away
and get her a gizzerd like hen.
Sometimes teeth axes awful.

both there is this difference
when your tooth axes you can
git it pulled if you hev the nerve.
i he'd a tooth pulled onct by a doc
tor and he told me 1t wouldn't
hurt. i believe all doctors is liars.
there was another docter give
me some medicine onct and said
it would taste good. he's a liar
too. teeth is a reglar nuisance
any way you take them. my NAV

VARIETY OF SLEEPING PALM
San Francisco Believed to Have the
Only Tree Of Its Kind In North
America.

In Golden Gate Park. San Francisco,
a specimen Of the rare sleeping
palm has been found, which is consid-
cred to be the only one in North
America.
The tree, which was brought to
America by young Australian botan-
ist, William Robinson, gives out q Pc
culiar aromatic odor Its upper
branches were loaded with a beautiful
rainbow-hued flower. giving forth q
heavy perfume.
Around the base of the tree were
the dead bodies of small animals and
birds. The curator who discovered the
rare palm felt drowsiness stealing
over him, and his son complained Of
the same feeling.
It was found that the tree, which
had originally been brought from one
Of the South Sea Islands, belonged to
the species Cocineae somnambulae, or
sleeping palm. which blooms only
once in fifty years, and the flowers Of
which were formerly used as q drug
by the islanders.

The fulsome laudation of Pres
ident Wilson and his policies by
our Democratic exchanges is be-
coming somewhat nauseating.
A little partisan slobber over
the President might be excusa-
BILE we're there any real grounds
for it, but in the circumstances
the outpourir gs of praise upon
the chief executive is much like
the boot-licking sycophantry of
the puppets around the throne
in the days of old, when every
ruler was hailed as the great est
and wisest that ever lived. That
the President is a man of many
fine parts and that he is trying
to discharge the trust the people
have imposed upon him to the
best of his powers and for the
universal welfare and happiness
of the country, we are quite will
ing to concede; but like most
men who look at things with An
open mind, we render Judgment
on evidence, rather than close
our eyes to it and proclaim that
the man who sits in the presi-
Dental chair possesses al! the
wisdom and virtue there is on
earth. There is nothing in the
present condition of the country
that calls for any laudation of
the Presidents course in pro-
noting its welfare. The situa-
ton is so immeasurably worse
than it was under the admins
tration of Mr.. Taft, that any ap-
proval of 1t insults honest intelli.
gence and places a premium up
on ineficiency. Our structures
are not upon the President,
merely. but upon the party that
endorses his policies and does
his bidding. Not even yet has
the limit of encomium been
drawn by our Democratic friends
on the Presidents "watchfal
waiting" policy in dealing with
affairs in Mexico, when in truth
it has made him ridiculous, and
the only thing tilat makes it 9th
erwise than amusing is the loss
iof life at Vera Cruz, from
whence, it seems. our forces are
now being withdrawn with moth
ing but an empty bag. And 90
it has been in the pursuit OF
ether policies advanced by Mr..
Wilson and supported by his
