RESULTS
Have Been Attained by Use of the Microscope
The Dscoverer of Bacteria

Great things have small beginnings.
A spectacle maker. Jan Leippersheim
by name. living in Holland. invented
crude magnfying glass in 1903. Anton
Won Leuwenhoek. born in Delft, Oct. %,
1852, improved this clumsy toy and
evolved a compound microscope which
has become the most valuable sanitary
tool yet devised by man. That first mi
croscope was as far removed from the
highpowered instrument of today as is
the modern American from the original
caveman. Yet by this faulty means.
Leuwenhoek, naturalist, physician and
which he called little animals" He

know them for those useful friends anG

tireless, destroying the living, consuming
the dead, useful in the sciences and arts,
yet often followed by train eff sickness,
suffering and death. A courteous paradox
this, yet bacteria are at once the great
est friends and the fiercast foes of every
living thing. Not animals. as Leuwen-
hoek thought, but vegetables, bacteria
consist OF two clssses, those which prey
on living things and those which reduce
to their original minerals, fluids and gas
es, every dead thing which they attack.
They are of various shapes. round like

PREPAREDNESS
Just as Applicable in Agriculture as in State
and National Affairs

Now that in every field of human en-
deavor there is coming to be greater
specialization, now that every form Of
activity proceeds according to established
laws and principles: now that success in
any line depends upon knowledge and
proper application of these laws; it is no
longer possible to meet the brutal COM
petition of business successfully without
careful and systematic preparation.
Agriculture. once looked upon as the
occupation to which every man might
turn when he had failed at every thing
else, has become a business in which
to succeed a man must have thorough
preparation.
No young man would presume upon
his native ability to carry him through
the practice of law or medicine; none
would believe that in any Of the arts or
trades requiring the exercise of real skill,
he could bluff his way through. Even il:
the work of the teamster, the digger of
bitches. and the driver of railroad spikes,
there is a best and most economical way
to do the work, which must be learned
from one who knows, or by the long and
wasteful process of repeated failures.
Yet. knowing all this; knowing that in

AUTO UPSETS
W. {. Steele and Party Narrowly
Escape Serious Injury

On the way home from the Eastern
Star reception in La Junta last Friday
night w. C. Steele and party-consist-
ing of Mesdames Steele and Manser,
Misses Manser and Burke-became in
.volved in an automobile accident that
might have proven very serious but
luckily resulted in aspair of black eyes
for the gentleman and minor cuts and
bruises for all the ladies' excepting the
last mentioned.
The accident occurred about two
miles east of Swink, near Crooked
Arroyo, and was caused by Mr.. Steele
turning out of the road to let another
car pass when the outer wheels struck
a soft spot caused by the digging of
the Otero Gas Co. trench. Tho Mr..
Steele was running at quite moderate
speed and Immediately KILLED his en-
CINE when he felt the wheels sink, the
impetus was such that the car was
overturned and all the occupants ex-
cepting Miss Manser were pinned
beneath it
A few moments after the accident
Judge Glenn and f. l.. Mckelvey came
along in their autos and speedily re-
leased the Steele party from their
perilous positions and giving first aid to
the injured had them brot to this city.
Next morning bright and early Mr.
Steele returned to the scene of the ac-
cident, where he found his Ford
machine would be just as good as ever
when he provided it with new top
and one fender, a new glass for the
windshield and had the steering wheeI

FINAL DIVIDEND
Has Been Declared by Receiver of
State Banle-Depositors Receive
rs Percent

By an order from the district
court this week received by AS
sistqnt Receiver Pollock it looks
as tho the affairs of the State
Bank of Rocky Ford will be
wound up exactly eight years
after that institution created con-
sternation and dire financial
trouble in this city by failing to
open its doors.
Acting upon the order of Judge
Rizer the final dividend-amount-
ing to 4 percent-has been de-
clared and depositors will about
the first of November receive
notice that they must present
their certificates within thirty
days and surrender same to the
receiver upon payment of this
final dividend.
AT the expiration of the thirty
days the receiver will make his
final report and probably be
granted his discharge by the
court. The books aud records of
the defuuct State Bank will be
turned over to the clerk of the
district court, and along in Jan
uary next it is hoped to have
everything pertaining to the old
bank cleared away.
This dividend of 4 per cent will
bring the total received by the
depositors up to % percent, a
rather small return but yet better
than the majority of the deposit
tors expected.

given reformatory sentence.
Miguel Duliz pleaded guilty to en-
bezzlemerit, and succeeded in securing
S32 in devious ways from Miss Audalia
Perez. He had been in Jail for period
of three months, and Judge Rizer
evidently though this amount of pun
ishment would fit the crime so he gave
him sentece of one day in Jail.
Maneul Rodriguez forged the name
of Y. A. Ochoe to the back of a check
and had it cashed at the Rocky Ford
National Bank. He also pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to the reformatory.

quez, a Mexican charged with rape on

stanced on Wednesday afternoon, when

they make cheese. they produce dis ease
and some of them when killed and in :
jacted into an animal protect it against
the very disease which they would have
produced if living. Many of them live
as harmless creatures in the body of an
animal for years, only to kill their host
when the opportunity presents. Their
study has given birth to a science. BAG

Their mere presence does not necess-
arily produce disease. Recalling the
parable of the sower. some bacteria fall
upon stony places, and some fall in good

fering. perhaps of death. A normal,
temperate life, free alike from the
guttony of ldieness or overwork, the
sound mind in the sound body, a cheerful.
normal environment, these form the
stony places in which bacteria take no
root. The depraved appetites OF mind
and body, the dark and sordid atmos-
phere of penury, the nerve racklng and
strength undermining trades, these pre-
pare the good ground.
The great weapon against bacteria is
cleanliness. The mastery over premature
death lies to a great measure in our own
hands. Clean persons, clean cities, clean
workshops and clean lives are the makers

every element of the business of life,
there is need of preparation, how many
young man there are who take up this
business of life entirely without prepar-
alton.
With opportunities such as were never
before offered for acquiring thorough
working knowledge of the principles un-
derlying any art, craft. or trade he may
wish to pursue. we see the young man
idling away his time. and finally driven
to take up some occupation for which he
has made no preparation.
An observant man scarcely passes a
day of his life without meeting with some
one who has tale of woe to reoite of
how everything he undertakes ends in
failure; how "lucK" is always against
him; and how he can not understand
why others succeed while he. working
much harder, always fails.
In the very great majority of cases
there Is no mystery; the whole expla-
nation lies in the fact that he who always
fails, is always undertaking work which
he does not understand. and for the un-
derstanding of which he neglected to
prepare himsef-C. F. Davis, Colorado

officers arrived, Steele climbed out on
the roof and as the officers approached
