REFLECTIONS OF ABACHELOR
 GIRL.
By Helen Rowland

"Love" is that strange illusion that makes a woman prefer sitting home and listening to one mans criticisms to going out and listening to lot of mems flattery.
 If the stork has been superseded by the dog fancier and the darning needle by the typewriter, it may just possib- ly be because love-in-a-cottag has been superseded by the bachelor-fat
 Oh yes; it's quite possible for a woman to be both a sweetheart and a wife to the same man-but not at the same time.
 After five years of marriage, wear ing all your best frills in order to fas- cinate your husband is about as effec- tive as giving a moving picture show for the blind.
 Marriages are like rabbits; each one is a brand new experiments; and no matter what your recipe, you never can tell the particular reason why it turns but smooth or crumbles to pieces.
 Bachelor: A body of habits, bound ed on the north by suspicion, on the south by egotism, on the east by indi- gestion and on the west by Noting mother.
 A mans idea of displaying "resolu- tion" appears to be the first to find out what a woman wants him to do, and then to proceed ''resolutely" not to do it.
 Presence of mind in love making is a sure sign of absence of heart; no man begins to be serious until he be- goins to be foolish.
 Jealousy never flies out of the win dow until indifference come in at the door.

SEED AND LIVESTOCK

Every good neighbor owes it to his fellow-citizens in a time like this when there is great demand for breeding animals such as cows, sheep goats, hogs, poultry, etc, to adver- tSe any surplus animals or poultry for cash so those who need them may have an opportunity to buy. Much depends upon the number of animals raised on our farms this year. If every farm could secure a start of good stock and raise enough feed to keep them it would be the beginning of the great est prosperity ever known in the Southwest and it should be a privi- lege for those who are able to assist others to help them stock their farms with good animals.
 From reports there is now great CT demand for good field and garden seeds than ever before at this time. Those who are to diversity realize that good seeds will be scarce and they are buying early. Every farmer who mas surplus of good seed corn, cot ton seed, oats, Kafir, milo, feterita or any other good seeds should advertise and give his fellow farmers a chance to buy The same applies to plants ana nursery stock. Advertise in your local paper if your surplus is small, lafge, also use the farm paper.
 NO one can afford to advertise any Vhlng that is not good. As a rule, only the best products are advertised.
 lhls Is the year that we are all to esteem each other better; it is time We should feel a greater interest in Ihe general welfare of the country. consequently We should buy from 'hose who advertise in reliable pa per and deserve patronage and sell ,o those who read it. The paper ren- uefs useful service in bringing buy. CT and seller together as we'll as be- "'s carrier of information.-Far and Ranch.

COTTON STANDARDS PROMUL-
 GATED.

The official cotton standards of the Tinted Stats were promulgated Dec ember 15 by the Secretary of Agricul- ture in accordance with the provisions of the cotton-futures act. The new standard replaces the old official grad es heretofore issued by the department and must be used by the exchanges dealing in cotton futures after Febru- arv IS. The standard covers the nine grades of cotton-middling fair, strict good middling good middling, strict middling, middling, strict low midd ling. low middling, strict good ordinary and good ordinary. Copies of the stan dard will be prepared as rappidly as possible for sale at cost.
 In filling order for copies of these standards the department must, of necessity, take into consideration the extent to which the applicants busi- ness is affected by the operation of the United States cotton-futures act, and preference will necessarily be giv- en to members of the future exchanges and to operators in the larger spot markets which may he bona tide spot markets for the purposes of the flu lures act. The law provides that the Secretary shall designate five or more such markets, whose prevailing prices shall determine the differences be- tween the values of the several grades in the settlement of future contracts. The department therefore invites all parties who desire copies of these standards to communicate with the Chief of the Office of Markets.

The February WOman's Home Com
 panion.

One of the striking contributions to the February Woman's Home Compan- ion is an article by the Rev. Charles Stelzle entitled Making the Church Do Real Wori," in which he considers the question of the high cost of saliva tion. He does not, of course, consider that the money cost per convert which a church pays is any evidence as to the efficiency or inefficiency of that church but he does show wherein some cl -ches are vastly superior to others iD r.e service which they perform to a community. h any event his article is highly entertaining and thought provoking and will undoubtedly arouse considerable discussion.

residence portion occupied by the
sheriff, was being heated and lighted
at county expense.
Now listen: While in session last
week the county commissioners de-
cided that they would put In another
electric meter and let the contract
to an electrician of this city. These
commissioners also discussed the
matter of heat and decided that the
heat would be prorated and that the
sheriff would be charged a portion of
the cost, to cover heating his resi-
dence
Now the very acts of the COM

sheriff for his portion of the fuel, and

G. H. BOWERS DIES

Chas. H. Bowers, one of Crowley
county's best known business men,
died at about noon Tuesday of this
week, December IA. in Canon City,
after a brief illness. Mrs. Bowers
left Wednesday evening with the
body for the old home in New York,
where funeral services will be held
and interment made.
Mr.. Bowers went to Canon City
about week before his death to look
after business matters on his two
ranch properties there. Five days
before his death he contracted pneu-
monia and was removed to a hospital
for treatment. However. his condi-
tion was serious and there was little
hopes of his recovery except for the
day before death came. Mrs. Bowers
had been summoned to Canon City
and was with him until Monday after
noon when she returned to Ordway,
considering his condition was such
that he would probably recover. On
being notified of his death she re-
turned to Canon City, accompanied
by A. R. Widick, who remained until
Wednesday. He accompanied Mrs.
Bowers to Ordway. on her journey to
Albany, N. Y. From there she will
go to Crown Point, near where the
funeral will take place. That is the
home of his mother and brother and
sister.
Mr.. Bowers came to Colorado
about five years ago to receive the
benefit of the climate as he had suf-
fered from asthma for some time
prior. He located In Pueblo and re-
NAMED there for year, but finding
the climate in Ordway even better
than that in Pueblo he moved here
and made this his home. He took
charge Of the Berendo hotel and has
since been the proprietor. He invest
ed in Colorado property and owned
land in this county and in Pueblo
and Fremont counties.
Mr.. Bowers was SO years Of age,
having been born in Vermont in 1865.
He is survived by his wife, and his
mother, brother and sister. Dur
ing his residence in this county he
made many friends and his death was
a surprise to many of them. as his i'll
ness was known by only few per-
sons here.
