CLOCK KEEPS BAD HOURS
Timepiece on Independence Hall
Quits Job at q O'Clock.

Scores of men who set their watches by
the clock at Independence Hall rubbed
their eyes and pinched themselves this
morning to see II they were awake. The
morning was dark and hazy shortly be-
fore o'clock, and the clock pointed to
10 minutes after 4. Traffic policemen In
the neighborhood OF 9Th and Chestnut
streets, were kept busy telling the pedes-
trians it was proper for them to be going
TO work at that hour.
It was simply a case of the Inde-
pendence Hall clock keeping bad hours
again. The clock stayed out until 10
minutes after this morning and then
collapsed. Workmen got on the job and
the clock soon resumed the regular tick
took of it's existence.

Club Play Thursday.

No effort has been spared by the
committees in charge of the home
talent play to make it one of the most
attractive and enjoyable events ever
held in Ell Centro. The play itself, "a
Scrap Of Paper" is charming in every
particular; the cast is admirable, and
everything is being arranged to add
to the effectiveness of its production.
Miss Nellie Burke, the efficient di-
rector, who has had the cast in charge,
says that with the dress rehearsal to
be given this Wednesday evening,
all will be complete, and the play will
60 on as finished production worthy
of the great audience that will with
out doubt fill to capacity the Holt
opera house. The following young
ladies will act as assistants to the
regular ushers Thursday evening:
Misses Markle Wachtel, Hazel Faw-
cett, Eva Lien, Florence Paine, Alellia

Mission Report.

After many disappointments over
one obstacle after another hindering
the carrying on of the work planned
by the mission, and for which money
had been donated by its friends, and
citizens of Ell Centro, and in spite
of the fact that the full amount need
ed had not been collected, the mission
was ready to go ahead, trusting in
later pledges, when it was ascertained
that the lot on which buildings had
been placed was to be sold.
Rather than remove them, it was
deemed best to sell and later rebuild
on more suitable location, provided
the work is resumed.
There would be no doubts in the
minds of anyone as to the desirabilty
of continuing the work, did they know
of the good already accomplished,
even under the adverse conditions un-
der which the work was carried on
hy Rev. j. c. Davis and wife, who
were devoted to the work of relieving
distress and uplifting those who were
"down and out"
A mission, in as small a town as
Ell Centre, can do all the work of
associated charities, and at less addi-
tional expense, while associated chari-
ties could not and would not take the
place nor do the work of the mission,
which is in touch with the needy in
every line.
The money from the sale of build
ings will be available in the fall for
reopening the work in a more suitable
location, and under a competent man
ager, if friends rally to its support. /
Should it not be reopened, the money
from sale of buildings will be for
warded, as it comes in, to those whose .
names are on the subscription list, in
their order.
There are frequent calls for cloth
ing and if those having such to dis
pose of will notify Rev. J. A. Davis |
he will no doubt try to distribute it |
where it will do the most good.

Woodrow Wilson On Courts

II am not one of those who doubt
either the industry or the learning or
the integrity of the courts Of the
United States. but do know that
they have a very antiquated way OF
doing business. do know that the
United States in its judicial pro-
cedure is many decades behind every
other civilized government In the
world. And I say that 1t is an inn
mediate and an imperative call upon
us to rectify that, because the speedi-
ness Of that justice, the Inexpensive
ness Of justice. the ready access Of
justice, is the greater part of justice
itself. If you have to be rich to get
Justice, because of the cost of the
very process itself, then there is no
Justice at all"

Cause Of Death Of Many Horses

Enoch Gurr was in from White
river this week, and tells us he has
learned what allied the company
horses, several Of which died few
weeks ago. He made . special trip to
Grand Junction where over 100 were
likewise afflicted and most Of them
died. The Grand Jnnc4sen Tpese4safy
claims It is due to overfsedtng on
alfalfa hay and lack Of exercise.
Work horses that are fat, and have
been idle for time, are the ones that
Invariably die. Horses Of this kind
that are apparently all right when
hitched up, will sometimes take sick
before going a mile. The symptoms
indicate a weakness and pain In the
back over the kidneys. The remedy
ia to unhitch the horse Immediately,
put hot stupes on the back, and let it
remain where 1t is unhitched for
twenty-four hours, and not take 1t
back to the stable. Give 1t plenty Of
water to drink but no feed. Some
horses have been saved by this treat
ment, but many have died In at
tempting to get them back to the
stable.-Vernal Express.

Yes! Call 1t Yampa!

We notice that the Routt and Moi
fat county papers are worked up
over the question as to whether the
stream that drains both counties
should be called "Yampa'' or Bear"
Call 1t Yampa!
That's the name The Herald has
used exclusively for over twenty-five
years when we had occasion to refer
to the stream that drains Routt and
its offspring-Moffat county.
Over twenty-five years ago, the
late Robert Gauss, then, and for
many years afterward, principal edi-
torial writer on the Denver Republic
can, had an illuminating article 10
that paper strongly urging the re-
tentinn of the original Indian and
Spanish nomenclature as applied to
our streams. mountains and other
natural objects.
The editorial in question so i'm
pressed us at the time that we adopt
ed its suggestions and have adhered
to them ever since.

and stay with that good and proper
Indian name.
