Of 225 Pennsylvania avenue northwest
one of the newsboys Of the war time
days. in relating the facts to a Star
reporter today There were about about
days. Some of them are now dead
but a few of them are still living. and
in this city. There was ED" Ettor
"WilT' Dredge. Bill" Knox. who lives
here with me, and number OF others
whose names I caIfnot recall.
Waited for Extra Stars.
1--WE used to hang around the news
paper Offices many hours Of the day
waiting for extra editions. for they
paid. If man gave us a dollar in
those days for an extra we never
thought of giving the change. Busi-
have time to stop. We made many
dollars a day. sometimes as much as
SIS. I can remember it clearly many
DAYS that I returned home with my
blouse bulging at the sides with
money 1 had made from selling The
Star. We had mostly "shinplasters'
in those days, and very little gold or
price 1 ever received for a Star was
$250 1t was toward the close OF the
war, and I had a big bundle OF extra
Stars, and one man up near the VIII
lard gave me a two-doiiar -and a ma u
gold piece and told me to keep the
change. There was not happier boy
in Washington just at that moment.
"The Star Office then was on the
south side of Pennsylvania avenue.
where the Post Office Department
building stands now. When we arrived
at the office we went into the main en-
trance, gave our names and the num-
Der of papers we desired. Then we
went around to the side door and wait
ed for the edition to come of the
presses. AS our names were called we
went up to the counter and received
more differently In those days than in
these modern times.
Papers Always in Demand.
I'VE used to get from 100 to 200
papers a day. I sold my bundle in
what was then termed the first ward"
in the western part Of the city and in
the vicinity Of the White House and
State, War and Navy buildings also
sold around the Willard Hotel. The
State Department then was located
where the Treasury now stands, and
the War and Navy departments were
together in a little red brick building
on the present site of the big granite
buildinF which now houses the three
Observation-Disclosures War and Navy.
IL had very little trouble in getting
rid of my supply, hut. OF course. I got
stuck at times, just as the boys do in
these days. Stuck you know. is q
term applied by the newsboys when
they have an oversupp1y of papers.

Saw Scaffold Building.

Later on the sequel to a tragedy was
enacted on this same ground. One
morning, on my way to scbQos. I mo-
ticed a framework being er-cted, and
upon inquiry was infoyjned that sol
dier was to be hanged on the Scaffold
at noon for killing an officer. AS re-
member the story of the occurrence an
officer in command OF provost guard
censured one of the men for some in
fraction of duty. and the man. becom-
ing incensed. raised his gun. fred and
killed the officer. Our teacher kept us
in school until after the execution.
President Lincoln frequently passed
our school on his way to Soldiers
Home. where he spent much time dur
ing the summer months. ! have never
read description of Mr.. Lincoln that
describes his appearance as / remem-
her him. The first time / saw him he
was riding horseback, and rode as we'll
any trooper in his escort. Many
times / saw him, and he always wore
clothes that seemed to have been made
by tailor instead of a shoemaker. as
has been alleged. his silk hat carefully
brushed and his face and form more
handsome than some of his critics who
profess to be good looking.
One of our boyish wartime habits was
to follow incoming regiments and carry
,nuskets for the stragglers who would
give us caps to snap on the guns. This
dangerous pastime nearly resulted In
tragedy on one occasion. A compan-
ION ana myseiI were carrying muskets
for two stragglers whose regiment had
halted and was resting on 7th street just
beyond the boundary. now known as
Florida avenue. Having procured caps.
my companion thought to amuse the
soldiers by fighting duel. One of the
soldiers said he would give the order to
fire and directed us to take position
and aim at each other. As we aimed
the pieces their muzzles nearly touched.
The soldier began to count: "One, two,

The star-clock strikes her trial hour.

The battle on her forehead breaks.

In installing an electric motor it
would not be necessary to install the
fifteen horsepower size, unless tie farm
required the heaviest work in grinding,
ensilage cutters, shredders, huskers,
threshers, shelters. The AID 2-horse-
power sizes would serve admiralty all
demands for power below this. Thouga
heavy baling might overioay the )
horsepower, on emergency, it woul l
meet such demand up to Is per cent
overload, at least, temporarily, Is n
baling operations. There would be
quite q variable demand, from these
several types of motors distributed
throughout the year. Thus, huskers,
shredders, feed grinders and like opera
tions bring heaviest loads, in fall, win
ter and spring. Domestic pumping
would be heaviest during the summer,
especially with truck garden and spray
ing, along with ensilage work, balers,
hoists, etc. In general, therefore, the
load for the entire year would average
up fairly well; and probably from thjs.
ty to seventyfive kilowatt hours, per
month, according to the size of the
farm and the class of produce, in the
main, not including dsirying. The
rates for this electric power would US
ually be somewhat lower still than that
for domestic service, possibly from one,
quarter to third Of the lighting
rate, according to the hours of the day
when it would be most called into use !;
OF, from $l.5O to $500 per month, for
all farm electric power.
1t is in this particular that the farm
er has much the advantage of the city
user. His heaviest loads are during
the summer months, rather than in the
winter; and, they are essentially da,
loads rather than night loads.
The farmer is up and at it, with a
half days work done (by the city s
eight hour standard) before the city
man is out of bed. Hence the very
cheap rates at which he gets electric
energy for all of the work which he can
crowd into this early morning period.
1t has been especially observed on rural
and farm electric lines that the highest
demands come from about 4:3O to $500
clock in the morning nthe summer;
and from 5 to o'clock in the winter,
with a shading off during fall and
spring. At night, on the modern farm,
the winter chores are usually well
through by O'Clock, after which the
farmer only uses the current for few
lights.-Wm. s. Aldrich, Colorado Agri-
cultural College.

oLENW0oD SPRINGS GAVE
THE EDITORS GLAD HAND

The midsummer meeting of the Colo
RADIO Editorial association was held at
Glenwood Springs Friday and Saturday,
and the pencil pushers and their wives
had a glorious outing
The officers of the association wer,
present and two business sessions were
held, during which various phases Of
the newspaper game were discusscl
after papers had been read.
Friday evening big complimentary
banquet was rendered to the visitors
by the editors and the business men of
Glenwood at the Colorado hotel, Mayor
Ollie Thorson acting as toastmaster.
After being regaled with all the deliea-
cies of the season, papers were listened
to from Mr.. Morgan of the Colorado
Tax Commission, Sheridan 8. Kendall
Of the Public Utilities commission, and
Wayne C. Williams of the Industrial
Relations commission. Each Of these
explained to the newspaper men the
objects and purposes of the three com
missions, asking for the cooperation
of the press in making them q success.
The press bunch was handed the key
to the town by the good mayor and
everything was wide open to them.
Free baths in the large swimming pool
and cave and auto rides to the various
scenic places in which Glsnwood
abounds belonged to the newspaper
men simply for the taking.
A. j. Dickson Of the Post and II. j
Holmes of the Avalanche were iade-
fatigable in their efforts to see that the
visitors were well cared for every nin-
ute they spent there.

ROUP

Thousands of dollars will be lost to
Colorado poultry men and farmers this
fall because of carelessness, says w. E.
vaplon Of the Colorado Agricultural
college. Too busy; NO hurry; will do
this or that before cold weather. But
We never get over the rush; there is no
use in harrying after the damage is
done; we never do tomorrow what we
neglec; to do today.
There Is little danger from roup if
we can get through the fall months
without its appearance. Now il :he
time tr prevent the disease getting .
foothold. These cold, snappy nights
snd cool, wet mornings are likely to
cause colds, especially when fowls are
crowded n their roost.ng quarters or
eoops.
Sell all the old hens rot wanted IS
next years breeders, now. They are
about through laying for the season,
are taking a long vacation, and are
worth as much per pound as they ever
will be.
Send all cockerels not salable rs
breeders to market As. soon as they arc
large enough. The price is rapidly
dropping and will continue to do so,
but even At a better price you could
not afford to crowd your pullets.
Mites and lice have too often had
/ free swing about the place. Get busy
now unless you want these pests to put
your fowls into the right condition to
contract roup.
We have no cure for roup, but here

and the Alamosa Courier went forth
to break the news, while the Elk Noun

er to get a Golden Graphic account Of
the manner in which the Glenwood

they were regaled by music from the

not keep their heads above water were
