Two Artillery Batteries Are Expected to Be Dropped
Next Week and Lose $3.50 900 Worth of Equip
ment; Is the Most Singing Rebuke Ever Given
State Guard By the National Government

This is the most stinging rebuke ever
given a national state guard and state
administration by the government. 1t is
the direct result of turning the militia
under Adjutant General Chase, over TO
the coal operators during the strike in
southern Colorado.
War department officials in Washing
ton say they have been informed from
Denver that the present adjutant general
of the Colorado guard, John Chase, may
be rcSppointed by the governor as a
vindication, but that General Chase will
promptly resign. 1t is thought likely
that Gen. Frank d. Baldwin will then
be appointed adjutant general.

more than twenty years to every Den

For the last twenty years the old

Years ago her son was killed in a
railroad wreck at Pueblo and since that
time she has devoted her time and ener-
gies to helping others.

results obtained from the practice of
following grain with peas this season
are most satisfactory.
In order to get the greatest benefits
from sowing land to winter grains,
such as oats and wheat. farmers
should sow the stubble to cowpeas
the following spring. Land sown in
wheat or oats this autumn and to cow
peas next year will be greatly i'm
proved condition a year from now.
1t is temptation to sell as large a
quantity of peas as possible, since
they generally find ready market
and at good prices. Nevertheless.
the wise farmer will make certain
that he is keeping for himself enough
of his cowpeas to SOW at least tn acre

The charge was made several
months ago that the prohibitionists
were urging the negroes to register.
The charge was emphatically denied at
the time, and has since been proven
false. Nevertheless, the same old
rumor comes now and again to the sur
face. The foolishness of the charge
is apparent to any thoughtful mind.
If the white people aren't ready for
the destruction of the whiSkey traffic
assuredly the colored people are not
ready. The ballot in the hands of the
latter would mean more votes for
whiskey than for prohibition. Every
body knows that. We can speak from
personal knowledge in the matter in
this county. We know it to be fact
that the negroes here were told by the
leaders of the prohibition forces to
stay out. They did stay out, so far
as is known to us. This negro regis
tration is just another bugbear Great
ed in the fertile brain of the oppon-
ents of prohibition. But it will fool
nobody.

Meditation and Prayer

The west wind softly blowing
The gentle swaying pines
The fading light of sunset
In golden, Slanting lines;
The subdued call of night-birds-
The murmur of the rills-
The silent lengthening shadows
That creep from hill to hill
All proclaim that day is done.
So age shall steal upon US,
AS the day of life declines,
And sway the soul in rhythm,
As the zephyrs sway the pines,
And deaths oncoming shadow
Will crepe up on our day,
While voices like the night-brds
VIII sound along the way,
And proclaim that life is done.
But, as the tired toiler
Welcomes night and rest,
We welcome deaths cool shadow
And natures quiet breast;
For after sleep-awakening,
And after night the day,
And after earth comes heaven
And, Thou, o Lord, always.
Amen. Thy will be done.

We belong naturally to the optimis-

thing to do with it; but, unless all
signs fail, cotton will bring good
price this fall. The short crop, the
use of cotton in the manufacture of
explosives, and the prosperous con-
ditions coming on in this country are
among the reasons for supposing we
may expect good prices.
