state of Colorado are to made for
the benefit of autoists, by the Noun

tablished. BY applying to any of the
several hundred stations throughout
the state, it will be an easy matter
for auto travellers to know. to n rea
sonable certainty. just what kind of
roads they are liable to run into.
Probably the most valuable feature
of these reports will be the issuance
of good roads map" which is now
IN the hands of the printers. These
maps will show the complete state
highway system, as indicated on
map prepared by the engineer of the
state highways commission. The
telephone company's map will show
by separate colors, whether the road
in any particular section is macadam-
lied, rock ballasted, graveled. i'm

THE RIGHT TIME
TO BUY LAND

Throughout the history Of the
country, every financial stringency
has had for its chief characteristic
a reticence on the part of everyone
to buy, and tendency to hoard
money instead of to invest. At the
close of these periods, which me
In regular ways, is the best tim" for
investment, because everything. gen
orally speaking has reached bedrock.
Since the panic of 1907, invest
| ment has been very slow anu the
country has been going through
period of liquidation. To tn, caro-
| full Investigator 1t is becoming oppnr-
ent that the bottom Is reached and
| that we are about to enter upon
period of increasing prices and en-
larged investment
Already calls for land are inoreas-
| ing, although as yet they have not
been sufficient to force an upward
movement. Today, therefore, is the
best possible time to buy.
In every locality there are greater
and better opportunities than for
many years past. There is plenty of
money in the country and the own
ers. beginning to realize that oppor-
tunities will get no better, will COM
mence to loosen their purse strings
and those who put off longer their
purchases will have to pay the pen
atty of higher prices.
For some years there has been
growing tendency of migration from
the centers of population to the
country until the cry of back to the
land" has become the most notice
able feature in the business life of the
country. Inquiry has developed the
fact that there are many thousands
of people waiting till prices shall
reach their lowest Many Of these
are already realizing the fact that
1t is dangerous to wait longer The
result is just as natural as in every
phase of business life. and those who
expect to get the full advantage of
present conditions must act at once
to come from the certain advance in
all classes of farm property.
AS an indication of the general
tendency may be mentioned the fact
that during the last eight months
there have been $500 entries in the
eight public land offices in the state
of Colorado, or an average of LOO
a month. These entries were made
generally by those unable to buy.
The splendid crops and prices OF last
year have produced a better spirit
among farming communities gener-
ally. and the bright prospect for an
equally good crop ard prices for 1915
should place the country in
most prosperous condition.-West-
ern Farm Life.

BRADLEY THEATER, PUTNAM.
Nobody Home."

If you are a bit on the musical com edy question, think you have seen them all and that they are all alike, just prepare yourself for a little shock next Saturday evening, Dec. 4, when John P. Slocum brings his latest money-winning attraction, Nobody Home, to the Bradley theater, Put nam, with Percival Knight, Zoe Bar nett and Metropolitan cast.
 New York and Boston were obsessed with the same idea until they saw this comedy novelty. It was so different that it startled them at first, but they paid tribute to its originality and as a consequence Nobody Home remained in New York for almost a year, and three months in Boston. Nothing quite like it has ever been seen before and it is as full af surprise and laugh ter as a we'll seasoned melon There is something wrong with the man or woman who cannot enjoy Nobody Home; at least that is what the crit ics say.
 The real tonic for the tired bus mess man is the deliciously droll and delightful musical comedy Nobody favorites including Percival Knight. Zoe Barnett and Mabel Withee, direct from Broadway. Iti sa all color com edy and melody and every bit of it original Nothing to think about, noth- ing to worry about. All one has to do is to look and listen and if they do they are bound to laugh No physf- elan or metaphysician could prescribe anything better. Seats now selling.

 The thing that has endeared him to Tommy Atkins as nothing else could and has made him the most popular man in England, was his little visits to the various hospitals where sick and wounded soldiers and sailors were being nursed back to health. MT.

 The promoters of the Slater Memo rial hall concerts, take great pleasure in announcing that in arranging the course for the season of 1915-16, they were able to make very satisfactory contracts, and expect to surprise and delight music patrons with the high small price at which course tickets will

 Jean Verd, the brilliant young French pianist. This season will be Mime.
 Frisch's first appearance in America She is a soprano who is famed throuhout europe and has won the highest distinction wherever she has
 appeared. During the brief period of eight years. covering her career abroad her triumphs have been almost with
 out precedent and few singers have
 been singled out to such an extent by 1 their fellow artists or made the recipi-
 ent of such unique honors.

 That rherc will be many foreign farmers from the warning countries coming over here to purchase good farms in our peaceful America at the close of the war, seems assured. Their home countries have become so devas- tated by the war that they do not want to live where they will for years be reminded of the horrible bloodshed of their relatives and friends. They also know if they remain that as long as they live and their children live, 9 good part of the hard earned money from their lands will have to go to their government as war tax to help pay the awful cost of war.
 During the past week young Turk called at the New York office of the D. A. Strout farm agency. A friend of his purchased a farm through them several years ago, and is making success. His father is a big farmer in Turkey, growing some years 125 acres of potatoes alone. He had $2,0O0 in cash and will receive more money from his father in January, at which time he will purchase a good farm.
 A Brazilian also called at their of- flee the same day. He had on a belt full, of American gold for which he had paid $1.70 in Brazilian silver for every American dollar.

COLONIAL THEATRE.
comus Musical Comedy Company Win
 Brilliant Success at Colonial.

One of the astonishing things about
 the clever Comus Musical Comedy company, which is the feature act at
 the Colonial theatre, is the whirlwind- like rapidity with which they have caught on. Everyone in the cast is
 fast becoming a favorite with the au- d1ences. Themselves; gentlemen and ladies; in their characters in the act they become more attractive than ever, because of this fact. Last night, the overwhelming success of their act was the dominating feature of the evening and everyone was accorded double en- cores, and many were complimented by
 triple encores. Their success with Hell 10, Frisco, in which telephones were
 utilized in every part of the theatre
 by the company, was madly enthu- siastic riot to which they responded
 with multiple encores. Every costume.
 uniform, act and voice is a gem and
 for today the entire program will un- dergo complete change, offering Miss Harriet G. Moran, the Norwich faYo-
 rite big-time singer, presenting oper- atic solos, among which is the pop ular Hero song from the Chocolate Sol- dier. Tom Whalen, another big dram atic favorite, will be heard in one of
 his well known recitations, this time
 presenting new one to Norwich au- dtences, the title being The Shooting of Dan McGraw, a selection for which the music was especially written to accompany It. MT. Whalen'S dramatic
 ability and power is too well known
 and liked in this city to need comment
 A sketch entitled Dr. Quack, in which
 four of the cast appear, and another sketch, After Election, a true story
 from life, compete with musical mum bers for first honors. MT. Murray, the
 splendid young man delineator, will be heard in Roll On, Beautiful River, a
 strictly high class number. Miss Kath-
 ryn Deen, one of the strongest, sweet
 est singers in the company, renders
 Beautiful Roses, a brilliant classical waltz song, in truly artistic style, in which her art, coupled to her re- markable talent, make her act one of extreme pleasure. MT. Curry, the in
 defatigable little comedian of the cast, is a powrful factor for merriment in
 the show. Everybody likes him, ev-
 eryone applauds him, and everyone is
 convulsed by his refined manner of
 presenting comedy; the kind that en- tertains but does not offend The bill

oRPHEUM THEATER, DANIELsoN.
"The Birth of a Nation.'

This greatest picture of all time comes to this theater Monday, Tues day and Wednesday, matinee and eve ming, next week. A presentation that has interested millions of people is still at the height of its popularity, as attested by the following from the New York Evening World of last Fri day:
 Contrary to the announcements made earlier in the week, The Birth of a Nation is not to leave the Liberty the atre tomorrow night. Six weeks have been added to its engagement there and nobody can tell what will come when the extension ends. This pie ture was first shown at the Liberty March 3 of this year. Its gross re- may reach $14,000. Few regular theat- rical productions in New York at pres ent are equalling these figures. To find one for the Liberty that would do as well might prove difficult" That is always the story of The Birth of a Nation. The performance is more than an expressing entertain ment. The first part is an eloquent and impaSsioned protest against the horrors of warfare. The tragic leave takings, the wrecking of homes, the broken ties the fearful sights on the battlefield are depicted with relentless fidelity. The flower of young Amer ican manhood is shown going forth rom northern ana southern homes to certain destruction in the terrible con- f1ict which rages with appalling real ism. The calamity in Europe is brought home with sickening vivid ness.
 The production is valuable as les son in history, for besides the de- cisive battles of the Civil war, Lees surrender at Appomattox, Sherman's S march to the sea, President Lincoln in office and on the night of his assassi- nation and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan are among the incidents pie tured.
 It is the mightiest of all productions and Danielson may we'll feel gratified that it is to see and enjoy it in all af the magnitude and excellence of its Boston presentation.
 To avoid disappointment, however, the thoughtful ones will reserve their seats at an early hour for with only six performances to be given during the engagement, it may we'll be inn agined that there will be thousands who will not be able to secure seats for any of the performances.
 Late cars to Central Village and Putnam each night.
