George B. Ellis.-Agriculture needs
a new declaration of independence.
One hundred and forty years ago when
the great Thomas jefferson wrote the
Declaration of Independence, among
other eternal truths he penned this
one: "All experience hath shown that
mankind are more disposed to suffer.
while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed" This is
just as true of the wrongs inflicted
upon society by false economic theo-
ries and customs as it is of bad politi-
cal government, But the time has
come when the burdens placed upon
agriculture are no longer sufferable
and we need something of the spirit
of 1916 to free ourselves from the po-
litical bondage under which agricul-
ture has so long been sufferer.

the side OF each section with cores.
ponding staples on the other side of
the same door taking the same care
to have each OF the hasps and staples
a uniform distance from the edge and
end OF the sections so that when any
section is laid alongside another the
hasps and staples will fit together.
Do not make them too tight-allow
a little leeway for the swelling of the
lumber. Make the width OF the stack
about two feet less than the length OF
two sections placed end to end that
is twenty-five feet IL the sections are
twelve feet. Make the stack as long
as there are sections to cover. Meas.
IRE and stake off the ground so as to
get the corners square. Then build
up the hay keeping it tramped uni.
formly all over the stack.
Keep the middle of the stack a lit.
tie the higher all the time Build the
sides and ends up perpendicularly or
bulged little all the way up; do no,
draw in any at all. II the stack is a
foot wider at the top than the bottom
all the better. When finishing have
the ridge of the stack about four feet
higher than the edges with a gradual
uniform slope. Then lay the sections
on top of the hay. fastening them to
gether, ends and edges. until all are
on. Put a stone weighing fifty or
seyenty-five pounds or other weight
on top of each section two or three
feet from the dge OF the stack.
The sections can be laid on the
stack when il is partly built in leaving
il for the night or in case a shower
comes up. They can be readily NOV
ed to any field or used for many Other
purposes They are very convenient
to cover the bales when baling hay
A part of them can be removed and
the stack cut down. If stacker OF
some kind is used the sections and
stone can readily be raised to the tor
of the stack. Being right on the hay
itself they settle with it and no snow
can blow under.

w. M. CLARK OF REDLANDs
ENDS LIFE BY SHOOTING

A wave of sorrow passed over the
North Fork valley Sunday morning,
when it was learned that w. NJ. Clark,
of Redlands mesa, northwest of Hotch-
kiss, had taken his own life at 500
that morning. The body was brought
to Paonia for burial Monday and was
placed at rest in Bethlehem cemetery,
Rv. Blackburn of the Baptist church in
Hotchkiss conducting brief services at
the grave.
For three years preceding his death,
Mr.. Clark had been under a mental
cloud. Thinking a change of scene
might prove beneficial, the family
went with him to Oregon. A short
time later, they moved to Napa, Calf
ornia, and during the stay in that city
his condition became SO violent as to
manifest itself in an attack upon his
wife. who was seriously injured. Some
months ago he returned from Napa,
to all appearances quite recovered. AL
though melancholy more or less of the
time, little or no warning had ever
been given that he had in contempla-
ton the rash act which startled and
shocked the whole countryside.
Mr.. Clark was son-in-law of Mrs.
NJ. NJ. Edwards of Paonia. He is sur
vived by his wife and eight children
"A. B. of Bone mesa, Leonard, Jessie,
Alice and Clifford at home, Mrs. Wal
ter Malone of Winslow, Arizona, Ev-
erett d. of Napa, and Bert F. of Butte,
Mont. Mr.. Clark was a native of Iowa
and was a few months past fifty-nine
years Of age. He was good father
ana husband when in full possession
of his faculties, and the stricken fam
lily has the sincere sympathy of large
circle of friends wherever they are
known.-Paonian.

chance to live and learn until he
knows something about the world and
the people in it. The young man ad-
mires the Amerisan flag; it is pretty
thing and he has a faint impression
that his forefathers fought, bled and
died for it, and he is grateful in a
small way to them for doing so. He
is glad that this country is not ruled
by king that is war tyrant and he
would not like to live in such a coun-
try beause it might interfere with his
personal comfort. But as he grows
older he begins to learn more, to ap-
preciate the glory of being an Ameri-
can and he becomes more patriotic

as the various beauties and advantages
dawn upon him.

EDUCATING PEOPLE AT THE
EXPENSE OF THE STATE PRESS

The Denver Manufacturers associa-
tion and other associations are work
ing hard to educate our people to buy
Colorado made goods, and are sending
circulars to all the papers to assist
in educating the people. That's very
commendable on their part but they
should educate the merchants to pat
ronize the papers that are working
hard every week to upbuild our city
and state. The merchants of Denver
are paying thousands of dollars per
year to papers that are injuring our
city and state every day, and are total
ly ignoring the weeklies.-Denver
Democrat.
How many manufacturers in Colo
RADIO are patroniZing the newspapers? ?
Mighty few. What right, then, do they
ask the papers to give publicity to
their products? Every line of type set
boosting their goods. whether directly
or indirectly, costs the publishers cold
cash. The space given free boosting
another mans game means a loss to
the publisher unless that man uses
the columns of the papers. Probably
no business gives up so much free
stuff as do the newspapers. 1t isn't
fair.
Those merchants and manufacturers
that fall for bill board advertising and
fake schemes that are sprung on them
every day or so. are entitled to no
recognition at the hands of the press.
So far as this paper is concerned it
will continue to send all these circu-
lar letters from the Denver Manufac-
turers and other associations to the
waste basket until there is reversal
in sentiment by the manufacturers
towards the press of this state.-Pueb-
10 Opinion.

A Cover for the Hay Stack.

- SONCt toi ehC hhoy
The problem of protecting hay from
the elements is one that should have
more careful consideration. The
amount of damage to alfalfa and other
hay stacked out even in this dry eli
mate amounts to enough to make a
very large increase in the net profits
OF the average ranch If it were pre-
vented No doubt the best way to
store hay is to put It in a good, tight
barn. but this means heavy invest
ment for the building. which most Of
our western land owners are hardly
prepared to make; and 1t is practic-
ally out OF question for the tenant
farmer. Again the loss of time in get
ting the hay to the barn from distant
fields especially when help is scarce
is a drawback and may result in dam
age to a part OF the crop by showers
before the hay can all be put in.
Temporary sheds can be built. but
It is very difficult to keep them from
blowing over when empty and II built
without sides the hay will receive
more or less damage from snow drift
ing in. The hay cannot be built up
to the roof and even II IL is nearly
SO at haying time. it settles down be-
fore winter. leaving a considerable
space above. Canvas covers are eff.
cient but they cost good deal, do
not last long and are easily blown off
or carried away. For several years
we have used a cover of grooved roof
ing. ANY length may be employed ac-
cording to the width of the stack. Ten
or twelve feet is very good. Cut bat
tens out OF one by six inch boards long
enough to reach across five of the
roofing boards laid side by side. Just
as you would make a door. only you
do not need diagonal brace battens.
Make as many of these sections az
may be needed to cover the amount OF
hay. Clinch the nails well and give
two good coats of bituminous paint
When done these sections will be
about four feet by ten or twelve feet
Lay two OF the sections down end TO
end and fasten a good barn door hasp
near each edge OF one OF the sections
where the ends come together with
staples to correspond on the other
section. DO the same with all of the
sections putting hasps on half of them
and staples on the other half, always
being sure to put each hasp and each
staple just exactly the same distance
from the end as well as the side Of
the section in order that they may be
interchangeable: that Is. that any door
with hasps will fit any door with
staples. The hasps should be bent
a little in the middle before they are
fastened on. because the sections when
put on the hay will form the comb OF
the roof where these ends come to
gcther
Also put two or three hasps along
