soils Need Manure.

Generally speaking chemical analy-
sis shows Colorado soils to be high
in all the essential mineral materials
that are needed in the building up of
plant tissue. On account of the arid
ity of our climate our soils show a
deficiency in organic matter, or
humus. This deficiency can be easily
overcome by the occasional plowing
under of green crop or through the
direct application of farm manure
at different intervals.
The prime function of manure un-
der our conditions is to furnish the
solvent that liberates the mineral
matter that is taken up by the plants.
Unless a sufficient amount of solvent
is present no matter how high the
mineral content of the soil there will
likely be deficiency of soluble ma
terial and plant development will be
retarded.
In addition'to to acting as a solvent
the manure furnishes the beneficial
micro-organisms with food and great
ly improves the physical conditions
of the soil. D. Marshall, Colorado

Be Careful.

Every day the press chronicles the
death or serious injury OF q driver
or member OF an automobile party
due to reckless attempt to cross
railroad track ahead of flying ex-
press train. In 1915 1896 lives
were lost in grade-crossing accidents
from this cause alone. To impress
upon automobilists the utter sense
lessness of accidents of this kind and
to minimize the number the passen-
ger department of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad has gotten out note
of warning. calling upon drivers to
Take No Chances at All" and to
"Stop, Look and Listen" This is
being displayed in public and private
garages and auto repair shops and is
being distributed among owners and
chauffeurs in the cities located along
that line in Colorado, Utah and New
Mexico. The campaign of education
being carried on by the Rio Grande
is worthy of emulation by other rail
lines.

Michelin Tire Hints
Don't travel on debated tires.

Don't travel on Debated tires.
Mr.. Potter of the Ordway Auto Co..
who sells Michelin tires locally says
that: ''If there is any one thing that
contributes most towards premature
tire destruction it Is undoubtedly
travelling on tires that are not suffi-
ciently inflated"
Many motorists" says the Niche
lin tire man, "give SO little care to
their tires that the first intimation Of
their improper condition comes when
muffled sound or a jolt, caused by
one of the wheels coming in contact
with some hard object on the road,
discloses the fact that the rim is
touching the ground.
"The envelope is then patched,
a new tube fitted and sleeve put on
for the purpose of increased strength.
The driver then proceeds to the near
est garage where a new casing Is OBJ
tanned, the damage done being left
for repair. Nearly always 1t is found
that the tread is the only part of the
casing that has not been totally de-
stroyed. The beads are found to be
broken or torn away. The walls OF
the casing are scored and scraped in
side and out. The canvas is torn and
frayed and has broken away from the
rubber. The tire has lost its shape
entirely; Its several parts are disin-
tegrated.

Quoted by the w. C. T. U. His article
was third prize winner, the first and
second articles, written by Irwin Bel

been published in the New Era of re-
cent date Edgar's essay follows:
is ALCOHOL A ROBBER?
| Alcohol is the greatest robber man
has to contend with. Robbes him of
his reasoning power and weakens him
mentally and physically, robbes him
of his love for his wife and children.
The great love for drink robbes him
self and his family of proper clothes
and food. The money he spends for
drink would buy all common needs
and luxuries. Reduces his family to
the point of despair and causes great
want, sorrow and suffering of all
kinds.
| The man gets his pay Saturday
night He goes with his companions
two. The man starts out for he has
not forgotten the flour and clothes
he's to get for his little ones at home.

throws him out and he staggers home
! if he doesn't get killed or hurt on the
way. When he gets home he gets a
club or anything he can lay his hands
on and wants to know where his sup
per is and she tells him they have
none. He then beats her with what
he has in his hand till he gets tired
and goes to bed. She is broken
hearted and doesn't know what to do
but says she will get along some way.
He gets up next morning and goes to
his employer and asks for day off,
his employer let's him off on condition
that he will not get drunk and he
agrees and goes home to sleep the
stupor off. The man cannot keep
away from the saloon and his en-
ployer lets him off for good this time.
He tries to get work but isn't success

This is what happens to the drunk
