revolvers and rode in automobiles
bearing false numbers. They also
had In their possession kilograms
and letters with the counterfeit sig.

Just before and after the fighting
began private signs were discovered
on bridges, military works and ac.
queducts indicating that those struc.
lures would be blown up.
Several precautions have now been
taken by the military authorities No

.Ihe war minister has issued a pro-
ciamation that every German and Aus.

these two men, standing out so pro-
nouncedly for these two things. there
could be but one choice for the peo-
pie to make and they made the right
choice. While it is Republican vic
tory, since the Republicans in the
state are for the constructive, yet the
fact must not be overlooked that q
large number of the best citizens,
men and women who have in the past
allied themselves with the Democrat
ic party believing in the principle of
government upon which that party was
founded, this year boldly and openly
walked to the polls to vote the Repub-
lican ticket that their own party, or
rather the element in control in their
own party, might be properly rebuked
The Republican party stands spon-
sor for Colorado's good name for the
next two years. 1t is taking a govern
ment that is in bad shape. 1t is taking
a state that is burdened with debt
because of mismanagement. and a
state that does not stand well in the
eyes of the investing public. And it
is up to the Republican party through
the men and women it has put in
power in Colorado, to make good, and
it is further up to that party to see
that the same element that wrecked
the Democratic party does not insidi-
ously worm its way into the Republi-
can party and in time wreck it.
But above all, Republican success
and the defeat of the destructive ele-
ment in the Democratic party, the peo-
pie of the entire state can be proud
and justly proud, that the word has
gone out to the world that we of Colo
RADIO are not murderers of innocent
men and women; that our militia boys
are not brigands; that our governor
is not the "hireling" of some vague,
yet potent power, on the contrary that
we, the people of Colorado, are as
civilized as are to be found in the
land, and that we welcome to our state
all other desirable citizens, guaran-
teeing the full protection of life and
property.

done.-Pueblo Chieftain.

Gospel of Self Reliance.

Do you still believe in yourself? If
so, you cannot become failure. You
can, at worst. only have failed to
learn as yet the science of success.
of which self-respect is the key. In
the great gamble of life we can af-
ford to lose everything but our self
respect. Money lost is little lost;
friends lost. much is lost; but self
repect lost, and all is lost. Self be-
lief is the husband of self respect,
just as self-respect is the mother of
self-reliance. Believe in yourself and
you will win through. For self-belief
and the principal source of human i'm
provement. 1t inspires you to do
things. 1t teaches you to try again.
The man who retains this belief in
himself will never give up trying.
And success is the reward of per-
sistent effort Self-reliance will pull
which the coward flees in vain, and
us through many a struggle, from
in which the weak succumb. The
abaility to "get up again" is the re-
ward of the self-reliant.
Human nature, from childhood up,
Graves for trust and belief. Trust the
bad man and you will be doing the
best thing to make him good. Mis-
trust the good man, and you help to
make him bad. Every sign of mis-
trust is nail in the coffin of mans
soul. Only those with an unwavering
respect for and belief in themselves
can survive the mistrust of others.
Let us, therefore, grapple self-belief
to our hearts with hooks of steel.
Let us believe in the God within us.
not in the God without. Let us be-
lieve that men and women are made
''in the image and likeness of God"
Let us face the cosmos; not trembn
at it! Is it not better to stand erect
like man, than to grovel like dog
before an angry master? Don't mind
IL others don't believe in you, God
does. And as our Creator, He bids
us to believe in ourselves. The man
who believes in and respects himself
is bound to win the respect of others.
They may instruct you. misunder-
stand you, and hate you for time.
But he who holds his head high in
the pride of self-reliance and in the
respect of self-belief will in the end
win the esteem and respect of others.

Diversity Of Crops.

(Article written by Roy A. Downs,
of Cedaredge. and published in the
October issue of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad Red Book")
The history Of crop raising in any
country, regardless of what kind of
a crop is to be raised. is that there
is a certain element of risk to be run
during the season, and that If the
farmer will scatter that risk, SO to
speak, by planting a variety of crops,
instead of one kind, his risk is re-
duced to the minimum. To put all
ones land into one crop, whether it
be wheat. corn, apples, peaches, or
any other single crop, naturally
causes the grower to risk everything
in one basket. I care not how capo-
fully that one crop is handled, what
care is taken to thin and spray the
fruit or irrigate the grain, a single
accident to that particular crop will
cause the farmer to lose the years
work and force him to depend upon
his other means, IL he has any. to
carry on his business. meet the in
terest payments. taxes. insurance.
living expenses and many other items
until he can again repeat the pro-
gram. This invariably causes not
only the farmer to lose heavily. but
the merchants bills to go UNPAID. and
the notes of both farmer and mer-
chant at the banks are carried over
and the country has met with set
back. Now had Mr.. Farmer divided
his fruit farm so as to enable him to
fortify himself against such ill-luck
by reserving say three-fourth of his
land for grain, alfalfa, peas and suit
able pasture, and then with a few
head of milch cows, some hogs and
poultry. he would be in a position to
weather the financial storms regard
less of fruit crop or fruit prices. and
the fruit returns would be velvet"

his fruit raising, and I will show you

Ours is a country of homes and
homes-of country and of city schools.
In no part of the state or nation is
the fact more strongly in evidence.
One of our heaviest tax burdens is
our school tax. The handsomest of
our building are our school buildings.
The greatest of our institutions are
our educational institutions. And yet,
some fellows trying to issue wha- they
call a Farmers News Service, under
take to tell the public what large
per cent of Colorado's population is
illiterate, and goes on to enumerate
the thousands of men and women liv.
ing on Colorado farms who can neith
read nor write. There are some such
of course, but the number will not
exceed those of other states in pro-
portion to population; we doubt very
much If the number will equal that
of most states, for the settlement OF
Colorado was largely by the younger
members of older families Of other
states, who. in many instances. had
better advantages of schools than did
their pioneer fathers. Most of Our
illiterate population is composed OF
foreign workers in the mines and in
the sugar beet fields. We have seen
college professors on our farms. grad
yates of Yale and other great col
leges, in our mines. Many of our
farmers are not only well educated
but have adopted scientific methods
to their farming.
