Defects in Eyes.

One of the marvellous gifts of the eye is the distinguishing of colors, and here most eyes are more or less de- fective. Many eyes otherwise effec- tive strangely do not convey to the brain from the retina by way of the optic nerve the reflected rays of light that make for either of the primary colors-red, blue and green-not to speak of the innumerable intermedl- ates, all due to the absorption, retiec- tion and transmission of rays of light of varying wave lengths. It might be said that we do net see objects at all, but only the myriad Wavelets o1 :uminiferous ether that are reflected from them

THE HOME MAKERS JOB.
By Kate B. Vaughn.

Now that the Better Foods Better Homes school is a thing of the past and we are breathing a sigh of relief that it is safely over. there are many resolution being made as to just what the course shall mean in our homes. Perhaps some of us have gained little different idea of our job as home makers and have begun to feel more strongly than we have ever felt before, that on the atmos- phere, environment and example of the home created by the mother de- pends the standard of living of a new generation. Can we then afford to allow anything to interfere with a perfect accomplishment of this task
 According to the means of the fami- ly, the house shall be furnished in good taste, which means that each piece of furniture, every rug and curtain shall be selected for use, not show Chairs bought as resting places, not as ornaments only-cur- tains to soften the light, not to eX- clude it-rugs and walls to harmonize and give sense of rest, not to at tract attention by glaring colors or designs-pictnres selected for their artistic value and possible influence on character, and nothing 10 find room except for some definite reason. If an inventory is taken and all un- necessary articles that take up space and require energy to keep in condl- ton are given away or destroyed, much will have been accomplished and a good start in the right direction made.
 Along with clearing the house of unnecessary articles, personal men, tal cleaning too is well, getting rid of many theories and habits which are taking up much of our time and interfering seriously with our profes- sion of home making. Social obliga- tions which require us to pay calls, attend parties or club meetings which really. mean nothing to us, arc just as valueless to character as the spindle legged chair is to real com fort.
 Why continue to use precious time thus? Often a delicate woman Will consume hours in arduous Wofk'

An Ancient Civilization.

"Where was the most ancient civ- ilization known?" asks recent trav- elcr in Turkestan. Dr. w. J. Parme' lee, in the Springfield Republican. Ex- plorations show that ten thousand years ago (twice the age of the Egypt ian pyramids) people lived soutn- east of the Caspian sea, about 12O miles from the sea, who had brick houses, decorated pottery, convenient and ingenious household articles. and domestic animals; they raised and ground wheat, and cooked their food
 So far as can be told, they had no weapons. and lived in peace with their neighbors-a trait that may be taken as evidencing civilization. or its ab- sence, according to the point of view.

A Problem of the Life to Come.

Small Johnny was wriggling and twisting in a vain endeavor to put his arms through the sleeves of an under garment and then get it over his head. After several futile attempts he called out to his mother: Say, mamma, when l get to be an angel, and have wings, I don't see how I'll ever get my shirt on!"

E. M. Duke Talks Oil Formation.


In last weeks North Fork Times,
E. NJ. Duke, of Hotchkiss, has the
following on local oil formations
People, just stop and think what
we really have in our particular land
of natural resources. We have devel-
oped fruit, hay and general farming
lands; stock. bees. and coal, but at
last we have started to develop our
most important resource of all which
is oil"
The gas, which has been trying to
lead us to the discovery of Oil, has
been coming up in very large quanti-
as Oak mesa for the past twenty
years, or in fact ever since the settlers
have konwn anything about the North
Fork valley. Not only do we have
large quantities of gas there which
will burn with flame four to five
feet high, but we have 1t also in many
other places such as Dry creek.
BY careful study. the geological con-
struction of our country has been
found to be the greatest asset to the
discovery of large oil basin There
have been four eruptions; first the
Grand mesa and Leroux Creek erup-
tions, which tilted the formation to
the south and east; second the Rag
ged range cutting very abruptly the
formation on the north and east;
third the mountains to the east of
Hotchkiss fitting the formation to the
west. and lastly the Black canon
eruption fitting the formation north
and east with four per cent dip
toward these other eruptions, thus
forming a large oil basin. This basin
is shaped like trough and extends
east and west along the edge of the
first eruptions for about Is or 20
miles and running from to 4 miles
wide.
Then we have the cretaceous shales
Dakota and Florence shales, begin
ming where the sandstone crops below
Hotchkiss-along with other neces-
sary geological formations which form
the most enticing oil prospecting
ground to be found in any section and
oil that heretofore been developed.

On Sunday morning Walfred Clar-

of Ash mesa, passed away after pro-
tracted illness at the age of IL years,
IL months and % days. The little
fellow had been great suffere for
some time from a series of ailments
and no doubt death came as happy
release.
While driving home from the Boyer
place Monday evening Mr.. E. c.

He was taken to his home and upon

found that his skull was cracked and
that he had bad cut in the back OF
his head besides being terribly bruis-
ed about the body He has been un-
conscious most of the time since the
accident and his coalition is consid-

cows and heifers, but the general
trade was about on steady basis. as
compared with Monday. Veal calves
were in good demand and fully steady,
and bulls. stays, etc. sold at steady to

broad demand from the country for
desirable stockers and feeders Of all
weights and prices were generally
firmly held for anything of this kind.
On the other hand there was little
call for the medium and common
stockers and statesmen found 1t diff

WITH THE THINKERS
.~~>>~>~>~>>~> :

G. A. Gurley.-It has come to be
fact that the business men of this
country welcome the adjournment of
congress and the legislatures of the
various states. A feeling of relief
pervades commercial avenues when
the law making bodies of the country
quit and go home. This feeling is
stronger than ever before. The truth
is that about everybody who is try
ing to do business In this land of the
free and home of the brave is heartily
tired of the desire on the part of our
law-making bodies to regulate every
thing under the sun. We have had
more regulating and less real need
full legislation within the last few
years than at any time within mem
ory. The, country Is sick and tired
of it.

Henry Field.-What is the real
truth about the seed business? Did
you ever get bunch of seed cata-
logues together and sit down and read
them all through and compare them?
II you did 1t is wonder 1t did not
drive you crazy. Everything is set
up as the best and the biggest and
the earliest with impossible yields
and conflicting claims and all the rest
of the hot air and bunk and bosh and
poppycock that goes with the old time
seed catalogue. Would not you like
for once to get hold of one that was
really different? One that occasion
ally surprises you by telling the truth
maybe not all the time but fair
proportion of the time. One that
shows real photographs and gives an
comparison Of different va
rieties and tells which one Is best
which one is poorest and why?
