There is class of "barr
burners" of leprcus patriotism
whose distinctive political acl-
men consists in knockiE~ II the
administration of affairs under
democratic control, regardless
of whether that control is good,
bad, or Indifferent. 1t is that
class of partisans that has long
been barking at the heels of the
president for not having plunged
this country into war, instead of
maintaining a dignitied ard
Christian neutrality and peace.
Here's hoping that at the end of
1916 all there will be left of the
hides of these fellows will be a
patch only big enough to show
the ''brand''-for exhibition
purposes, and to be held up
as an awful warning to future
generations.

THE MIGHTY
DRIVE FOR LAND

As, to our certain knowledge,
whole neighborhoods eastwardly
gather news of Raca county from
a single subscriber, it Is proba-
bic that our 2Ooeastern subscrib-
ers means a thousand or more
readers; and it is for the infor-
ma Jon of these one thousand
readers of what has been and is
going ON out here that we are in
this issue giving an inter-
view with Register Beavers in
"Thc Grcat Divide" in its issue
of November 20. The interview
follows:
.'The new settlers probably
are the best Colorado ever OBJ
tlined;," said Mr., Beavers, for
they are IL arly all experienced
farmers of non-irrigared lands,
who come from neishboring
states. where conditions are
mostly identical; they know what
theyare up against right from
the start, and they know how to
begin in a way that will insurse
success.
Virtually all of them have
ready cash TO undertake the de-
velopment of their property.
And they have fine work horses
and an adequate stock of mich
cows. They are not taking tile
land for speculation, but TO make
permanent homes. They are
making the right kind of a start,
so that years of scant rainfall
will not affect them"
Statistics of the various feder-
al land offices show that during
October and November the appli-
cations for homesteads usually
drop off almost to the point of
ceasing altogether. But III the
Lamar district this year the rush
for land continues-with a pros
pect OF breaking the record for
last summer.
During the first thirteen days
of this month-that is. through
last Saturday-195 new settlers
took hom esteads in the district,
bringing the total amount of land
disposed of in that district go
far this year to more than
] 200, 600 acres.
From Jan. 1, to July l of this
year these new settlers in SOUTH
eastern Colorado brought cash
savings that increased the depos-
it's of three banks in that dis
trict alone more than $50, OLO
each.
Mr.. Beavers says that those
settlers who have been in his dis.
trict long enough to get crops
this year had phenomenal yields
of corn which is now being sold
for feed at good prices, again
heavily swelling the bank depos-
its.

"The man who succeeds on
our land out here is the man who
raises stock and chickens and
hogs along with his farming"
"These newcomers are build
ing silos and raising stock. They
are also farming. But they will
be permanent and successful set
Jlers, because they are not de-
pending solely on farming. Many
i years they are bound to raise
fine crops. But, when a dry
year does come, they won't be
starved out, because they have
their stock and their chi :kens.
And, in the dryest years, they
Gao still fill their silos and lave
plenty of feed for the winter.
MIR. Beavers says some of the
new settlers are Going remark
ably we'll already. The dairying
interests that hr has so persist
emily advocated in connection
with farming are now showing
returns that alone make some of
the farmers well to do. The
Helvetia Milk Condensing com
pany has put up a large plant at
Lamar, he says, and is buying a
vast quantity Of milk from the
men that have a few cows on
their places. Some men have
found the selling of milk to this
plant so profitable that they have
almost given up the farming end

WHEN ADVERSETY AiDS.

Frank G. Jones lived in MuskegDr. Mich. but because he violated the laws, he was sent to the penitentiary.
 In this building of grey regrets, however, his spirit refused to be crushed. So he took to writing short stories.
 Many people do this to earn pin money, especially if they have enough time for the effort It seems that Jones had more time on his hands than anything else when in prison.
 But Jones' stories turned out to be mighty good stuff. In a word, he was successful And the governor of the state pardoned him.
 Now the question is. would Jones have become a successful story writer if he had not gone to prison
 The question is interesting becaIst | it illustrates so many peculiar turns in life. So many activities and tai I cnts lie dormant in the human max > up that it sometimes requires a period of adversity to force them to the tor,
