The School Bonds.
b. u. Parker. Jr.
President

We want to again impress the ne
ccssity of voting right on the coming
school bond election. We realize that
there are various opinions as to Just
what is the best thing to do but some
thing must be done and 1t seems hest
to large number that the addition to
the present building be built and for
the good Of our schools and Of our
town let us all see to 1t that the bonds
carry at the election so that the dir
ectors can proceed rapidly with the
building of the addition so that our
children will not be forced to attend
school another year in an unsanitary
fire trap. In addition to that II some
thing is not done at once the State
authorities will take the matter up
and If they do it is our private opinion
that the school will be closed until
such time as it is put into a safe and
sanitary condition. II you are not
familiar with the conditions as they
exist for Heavens sake don't take the
word Of this paper or Of any individual
but make personal investigation OF
your own.

Rev. Dan Shannon Leaves ChappeIl.

Owing to differences of opinion as
to the best way to conduct the revival
meetings that Rev. Shannon was hold
ing at Chappell Mr.. Shannon closed
his part of the work there on Friday
night and on Saturday came to Jules
burg. Dan has many friends here
who are always glad to see him and
were delighted that he could spend
u short time here before leaving for
Fruitiand, Idaho where he is to hold
his next meeting.
Mr.. Shannon preached in Ovid Sun
day afternoon and regardless of the
fact that there was little time to adj
vertise his coming the audience was
too large for the school house and the
crowd adjourned to the hall where all
might have an opportunity of hearing
him. In the evening he occupied the
pulpit in the Methodist church here
and the building was taxed to its ut
most capacity and many were turned
away at the doors on account of NOT
being able to get inside the buildin,,
Collections were taken up at the
two meetings which netted over $50.

The firm Of W. II. Vernon and Son
have dissolved Mr. Roy Vernon buying
his fathers interest in their dairy bust
ness and will conduct the same in the
future on the same high plane that il
has been operated in the past.
One feature Of the dissolution will
be regretted by all and that is the loss
of Mr. and Mrs. W. r. Vernon to this
community as they have decided to
make their future home at Boone. Ia.
Mr.. Vernon left with his car of live :

Considerable activity is being mani

Three members were adopted at the

other good prospects. A good lunch

CAPITOL CORRESPONDENCE.
Denver, Colo. March IL. 1876.


II is now lust fourteen months since
the prsent state officials took office.
For six years previous to that time the
Democrats had been in power and by
their extravangance and general in
competency had well nigh bankrupted
the state. short time before they
retired from office four per cent. state
bends had sold in Denver for as low
as s. cents on the dollar, and state
certificates of Indebtedness for as
low as IS cents. The state peniten-
tiary lad floating debt of over $50,
600. Some Of the state educational
institutions were fearing they might
have to close their doors and general
decentralization was in evidence every.
where.
Today. owing to the careful and busi-
uesslike administration of the finan-
ces by State Treasurer Stocker and
Auditor Mulnix, heartily supported by
the othe state officials. Colorado state
bo1ds are eagerly snapped up at par
by investors, certificates of indebted
ness are purchased at face value and
interest by the treasurer, the floating
debts of the penitentiary have been
paid in full, the educational institu-
tions are all on easy street, and the
credit of the state is as high as that
Of any state in the union.
Since January /, 1915, insurrection
bonds of the issue of 1897 to the
amount of $4,000. have been purchas..
ed and cancelled, and bonds of other
issues to t e amount of over $3.50 O00.
have been purchased for different state
funds most of them for the School
Fund and notwithstanding this large
purchase there is more money on hand
by over a half million dollars than
there was fourteen months ago Reck-
less expenditures have been stopped
delinquent creditors of the state have
been made to pay up, and some who
had been overpaid have been made to
disgorge. This fine work has been
brought about only by persistent, in
tclligent effort, and those who are in
clined to believe that most of the time
of all the state officials has been spent
in running around making speeches are
seriously misinformed
The question of who shall repre-
sent Colorado at the Chicago conven-
tion will be up for serious considera-
ton very soon. So far as is known
! none Of the candidates for President
are making special efforts to. gel
ColOrado's vote, and there is every in
dication that the delegation will be
! uninstructed. This makes it all the
more important that only the very best
most patriotic and wisest men should
be entrusted with this commission.

VI, Z. !. kels are the Best Breed
Ter the Farm.

Tire Red Breed is fast becoming
known as the very best all-round or
duel purpose fowl thus far known. The
Red Hen now holds the worlds record
for cgg production amon,: the heavier
varieties. Every wide-.. wake, pro
Gressive farmer wants hen that will
lay well and at the same time he has
An eye for large hen that will make
g good dinner. Both of these require
ments are completely met by tn. duti-
full Reds. Lots oil large fresh eggs
the year around. Not just while every
one has plenty of them and the pr,cn
per dozen is at the lowest. The Red
chicken is SO much easier prepared
for the table and the meat far more
delicious than most other breeds.
Beginning with the egg for Matching
it being large and the old flock strong
and vigorous the little chick has so
much better chance for its life, making
the raising much more certain and
also easier task. This is a strong
point in their favor as very little time
can be given to chickens by the busy
farmer or his wife. Having Il good
start they do not become stunted 50
reach the broiler or frying size much
sooner than most breeds.
Who does not enjoy fried chicken =?
The Red frys have "A more ready mar
ket for the reason that their flesh l.
better and are SO much more easily
prepared for the table, The pullets
, mature all of month sooner than
any of the other large breeds, so 1t is
rot at all difficult to get them hatched
early enough for them to be ready to
lay by October or November when
eggs are scarce and high priced. The
Reds are hardy aud good hustlers still
at the same time they do not rove over
! the farm and scratch out the near by
| crops If you wish to confine them
! for short time in the spring until the
| garden or crops get started you can
easily do so as they are quiet by ma
ture and stand confinement we'll Tho
! bane of the caretaker is the broody
hen. The busy Reds spend very little
time clucking around II you give her
a small, clean open park with good
! mash or plenty of egg making mater
ial before her. These hens make the
| best of mothers and yet spends no
more time with her brood than is nee
cssary and is busy laying again. An
other important item is the fact that
most of the early cockerls are kept
to supply the family with meat and as
they grow so large before they reach
4 troublesome age it is strong point
in favor for the farm to adopt the Red
breed. In the past the average farmer
! has not realized the value of chickens
and because they have come to ue
learn that if they have comfortable
houses they will be far more profit
able For this reason many farmers
| have poor houses or none at all and
the fowls are forced to find what
shelter they can. While l do not ad
vocate this kind OF treatment The Red
breed will do better under such cir
cumstances than any other l know OF,
They will also respond very quickly to
good care and good food.

WHAT Is 4 LEGAL FENCEl

herd law for Colorado has deyeIoped
much argument As TO what constitutes
a legal fence in Colorado Some claim
that legal fence Is SO costly that few
farmers can afford to maintain one,
while many cattle owners insist that
the Colorado legal fence is really a
joke. Quoting from the law. and only
that part which refers to wire fences:
"A fence OF three barbed wires, with
post not more than sixty feet apart.
with stays between not more than ten
feet apart: or three barbed wires, with
posts not more than thirty three feet
apart. with one stay midway between.
or two barbed wires, with pole at top
bot less than two inches in diameter,
wired at each end to posts the posls
not to be over eight feet apart; or
four plain wires, with posts not less
than five inches in diameter and not
over fifty feet apart, with stays be
tween, not over ten feet apart; Provid-
ed, that any division or road fence,
made of wires, shall be deemed un-
lawful that contains less number
of wires, posts and stays than abova
described All other fences made of
board, rails, poles, wires, stone. hedge
plants or other material, which shall
be as strong and as well calculated to
protect enclosures as those above de-
scribed, shall be considered lawful
fences; and said plain wires, as des-
| Cribed in this section. shall not be less
than number nine, and all wires shall
be properly stretched.
| utevised Statute, Section 2587.)
| "All fences shall not be less than
four feet and six inches in height.
| (Revised Statute, Section 2588.)"
The above is the actual law in re-
gard to legal fences, and it would
seem that anything that could be call.
ed fence would pass muster undey
these conditions. 1t is claimed, how
ever, that farmers are unable to
secure damages where cattle break in
their enclosures, even tho they have
a legal fence. The law would seem
to be very fair in this matter. Here
is what it says:
ANY person making and maintain
ing in good repair, around his or her
enclosure, any fence such as describ-
ed in section one (Revised Statute 25S l
of this act,may recover in a suit for
trespass, before any court havingcom-
petent jurisdiction, from the owner of
any animal or animals which break
thru any such fence in full for all
damages sustained on account OF such
trespass, together with costs of suit
and the animal or animals so trespass-
ing may be taken and held for security
for the payment of such damages and
costs; and no person or persons shall
be allowed to recover damages for any
injury to any crops or grass or gar
den products, or other vegetable pro-
ducts. unless the same at the time of
such trespass or injury. was enclosed
by a legal and sufficient fence. as be-
fore described tRevsed Statute, Sec
tion 25S9)"
1t would seem that under this act
the average farmer who, in good faith,
maintains any kind of respectable
| fence. would have little difficulty in
recovering damages for any depreda-
tions by cattle. 1t is difficult to con-
ceive how this law can be made any
more liberal to the settler-farmer than
it is.

BUTTON SALE PLANS TO BE FORMULATED
 BY MRS. J. B. REID
Details of Sale Will Be Announced in a Few Days-5000 Buttons Are Expected to Be Sold to Pro-
 vide Entertainment

Mrs. J. B. Reid has agreed to formu- late plans for the forthcoming button sale which will be held under the special direction and sponsorship of the execu- tive committee in charge of the Confeder- ate reunion plans according to an an- nouncement made yesterday at reunion headquarters. Mrs. Reid, whose appoint ment as matron in charge at the fair grounds during the reunion caused such satisfaction is pre-eminently equipped for
 her added duties, and it was the source of considerable qualification to the execu- tive committee and others of the reunion organization that Mrs. Reid consented to arrange the plans for button day.
 She held a meeting yesterday with few of those interested in the success of the affair." and while nothing was ready for announcement it is gathered that the plans were gotten well under way, and that in the next few days the complete plans will be given out.
 The executive committee has purchased 5000 buttons which will be sold for s1 each. The money will be used to provide food and housing to those Confederate veterans who are guests of the city. The button will enable everyone in Birming- ham to do his or her share toward the entertainment of the veterans, and Will also entitle the holder to admission to the Fairgrounds to witness the sham pat tie and to see other attractions that will be arranged for the veterans.
