Good Mothers In Japan.

Mrs. r. P. Alexander, delegate TO
the National Congress of Mothers
from Japan, told at the congress of
the beautiful home life of the Japa-
nese. The mothers influence is al
ways direct and personal and children
are never punished The mother never
speaks to the child in anything but a
pleasant voice, even when reproving
it. The mother OF Japan Is one OF
the real mothers Of the world" she
said. The mother, and the father as
well, thinks that nothing is too good
for the children and mothers clubs

When Speed Becomes Dangerous.

Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, speaking
at the first annual conference Of the
American Museum Of Safety In New
York, says that speed is the real prob
lem of labor. 1t is not that machfn-
cry is so dangerous, she says, but
what is called industrial efficiency
keys the workers up to a pitch that
means in time mental and physical
exhaustion. She says that up to a
certain point a worker can increase
speed, and that after that it begins
70 decline. Business compels the at
titude of the owners of factories, she
says, and they do not realize how they
grind down the girls in their seeking
for efficiency.

Russian Easter.

Easter in the Greek church this
year fell just week later than the
western Easter. The Greeks (who for
ecclesiastical purposes include the
Russians and the peoples of the Bal
kans) never accepted the Gregorian
calendar. Their Easter is sometimes
before ours and sometimes after. In
1865 they both fell together. but that
was an accident, not likely to occur
again for some time to come.

sent handsome gold medal.
Absolutely no partially will be
shown in the competition for the

Farmers Wear Pleased Smile.

Colorado farmers are jubilant over
the 1914 crop outlook. The prospects
are for an increase of 10 per cent over
the best yields of twenty years past.
The showing is regarded as remark
able, since agricultural conditions in
Colorado for the past ten years have
been 1898 per cent of normal
According to a report of the bureau
of crop estimates of the federal de
partment of agriculture, crops over
the whole country are IA per cent
better than the ten year average.
Only six states are ahead Of Colorado
in point of increase in production.
The states and their ratings are:
Kansas, 117.2 per cent; Nebraska,
1853 per cent; South Dakota, 1928
per cent; North Dakota, 1902 per
cent; Iowa, 1902 per cent, and Cali
fornia, ITO per cent. The high show
ing of these states is due in part 20
the fact that they have bumper crops
and in part to the low normal rating
for the last ten years
Colorado's ten-year period has been
well up to former standards, SO that
her rating means a greater relative
increase than is shown by the many
other states.
Not only has the yield per acre
greatly surpassed former years, but
the acreage under cultivation is also
much larger, so that the general agri-
cultural output will show an increase
much greater than the 1898 per cent
estimate of the agricultural bureau.
Prices are also better than before, and
the total wealth that will flow into the
farmers pockets will be far more than
for any other year. The value of all
crops is estimated at $100,000,000.
Estimates put the corn crop 10 per
cent larger than ever before. The
price according to the dope" will be
8 per cent greater than the average
for the last five years. The average
on July / of this year was $0.755,

TOWNSHIP IN A COLORADO
COUNTY OPEN TO ENTRY

An executive order just signed by
and filing under the public land laws
the townsite Of Platoro in Conejos
county, consisting of 160 acres in the
east central part Of section %, town
ship 36 north range 4, East New Mexi-
co principal meridian, within the Rio
Grande national forest.
The existence of Platoro as mining
camp dates back about twenty-five
years. II was subsequently abandon
ed until early in 1913 when rumors
of new and valuable mineral strikes
in the region created an influx of pros
pectors and camp followers which
gave new life to the settlement. Many
of the lots of the early corners have
been occupied under special use per
mits issued by the government. When
it became apparent that local economic
development required the establish
ment of permanent town in the local
ity, and the forest service recommend
ed elimination of the site from the
forest. Such keen rivalry is said to
have sprung up for permits that it
became necessary to resubdivide the
tract by cutting the lots in halves,
thereby doubling the capacity Of the
tract.
The land was eliminated from the
forest by the President on August 2s,
1913, but was Immediately withdrawn
for classification. The presidents re-
cent order is a final restoration Of the
land to entry and patents may now
be acquired in accordance Herewith.
Abutting mining claims already cover
about fifty-two acres, leaving 10S acres
subject to entry. In accordance with
the order, the lands will be opened to
entry in advance OF settlement and
will be subject to entry at the Del
Norte land office for period Of twen-
ty-eight days beginning at 8 o'clock a.
m, August 27, 1914, and thereafter to
disposition under any and all OF the
