claims tor damages. Instead of
arbitrary and one-sided legisla-
ton, other states have a law pro-
viding for damages for injury to
crops Oh cultivated agricultural
land" with reasonable provisions
for releasing the lien by giving
security approved by the nearest
justice Of the peace, and further
provision giving the owners of
livestock damages for the deten-
ten of his animals in case the
taker-up refuses to accept the
amount OF damages actually due,
and does not recover a larger

full claim OF lien that cannot be
enforced, because no damage has
been committed. must be borne
by the owner, and he cannot re.
cover therefor. Under our me.
chanics' lien law, a person who
wrongfully claims lien on an.
others property is liable for $40
a day damage, after being noti-
fed to release it, and a person
wrongfully filing a lien on a
mining claim is liable for double
damages (Sees. 4042-4O6OG).
These provisions in our statutes
are for the protection of property
owners against harrassment.
Without this reasonable protec.
ton, the herd Law provides a
powerful instrument for extor-
ton in the hands of the person
inclined SO TO use it.
The term "herd law is under.
stood by some to mean that per-
sons who have their livestock in
charge Of a herder may escape
some of the consequences OF
grazing on the unfenced land of
another. This is not true.
There are thousands of acres of
privately-owned land lying in
parcels, varying in size from a
quarter section up, on the range
in Colorado that have no fences
or marked boundaries to distin.
guish them from other range
lands. A trespass on this land,
whether the owner of the ami
mails knew where the boundaries
were or not, would result under
the herd law" in a right OF the
owner of the land to claim dam
ages, take the animals, and keep
them until the claim was paid,
on a bond given for twice the
amount Of the alleged damages,
and all costs.
These are some of the direct
legal consequences Of the pro-
posed "herd law" It will fall
most heavily upon the small
owner who has less than twenty
head of live stock, and who is not
in a position to carry on expen-
sive litigation or easily give bond
to release his livestock from liens

WHAT THE NEW
HERD LAW MEANS

Below We are publishing an
article relative to the proposed
Herd Law which we have been
requested TO give publicity, The
Grit-Advocate is not taking sides
on this issue and is willing to
publish articles for and against
the matter, with due regard tol

Extract from legal opinion on
effect of proposed herd law by j

Colorado.
Gentlemen: Replying to your
letter of the 9th instant regard.
ing the legal effect Of the so-called
"herd law" which is to be voted
on in Colorado at the general
election, Nov: 7, 1915, will say:
The name, "herd law" as ap-
piled to this proposed measure is
misleading, as livestock in charge
of herder are not exempt from
its sweeping provision. The gist
of the proposed law is in the first
paragraph thereof, viz:
"Sec. 1. The owner, person
in possession or caretaker OF any
domestic animal or animals shall
hereafter be liable for any injury
or damage done by said domestic
animal or animals" .
This completely and radically
changes the existing law, which
has been in force, Independent of
statute, since the first settlers
came to this state.
The owner would hear of the
outrage, and when he did the
animals would be lost, with no
possibility of successful prosecu.
ton of the person who 30 OBJ
tained them. Even the perjury
necessary to prove q Fictitious
claim Of damages could not be
prosecuted, for the reason that
owner could not successfully dis
pute the claim that the animals
had committed damage. With
this ''herd law" in force, Colo
RADIO would become a veritable
mecca for cattle thieves; and they
could not be successfully pros

Unquestionably this proposed

fence law. This law
(5479A, Rev. Stat. Colo, 1908)
provides that railroads shall main
tain a fence as provided for by
section 2587 Of the Rev. Stat,
1908. As the proposed "herd-
law" repeals this section, there is
remaining in the statute
to define what sort of fence the
railroad must erect; therefore, the
provision of the railroad
fence law would be non-existent.
With this so-called "herd law"
in force, if livestock get on an
unfenced railway track, and by

BEAUTY VALUABLE In ITSELF
When You Plant Shrubs Around Your
Home Remember Some Are Use
full and Ornamental, Too.

4 very practical writer in q popu-
lar magazine recently condemned the
American custom of planting purely or
namensal trees and shrubs. Such
things, he contended, performed no
useful work, and ought to be discard
ed. The redbud and Towering almonds
should give place to cherry and peach
trees; and roses and spireas, presuma-
bly,, should make way for currants and
gooseberries. Only thus could we have
a garden scheme worthy Of practical
people.
There are elements Of truth in such
g doctrine. Too many people fail to
recognize the beauty inherent in plants,
trees and shrubs cultivated for food
In a cherry tree orchard, in field
of blossoming clover or ripenlng wheat.
But the central idea Of this practi-
cal creature Is false altogether, for
he fails to recognize that beauty Is
worth while in and Of itself, and needs
no Endorsement from either stomach
or pocketbook. Mohammed knew what
he was about when he uttered his ia
nous advice: "He that hath two
loaves of bread, let him sell one and
buy narcissus; for bread is food only
for the body, but narcissus is food for
the soul."-Boston Courier.

self, says House and Garden.
There are many things that will ma.
eerially Increase the value Of the lawn
from an artistic standpoint. Among
these may be mentioned the pergola. It
Is one of the newer forms Of lawn dec
Grafton in this country, but deserves
encouragement on the part Of the real
home lovers, whose desire Is to add to
the home plan.
One should understand, however, that
the pergola Is not simply decoration.
It possesses useful features in addition
to its attraction as an ornament, and
wherever erected increases the charm
Of the setting.
1t serves as bower, retreat, and a
nook. It may be covered with vines,
and serve as refuge from inclement
weather. Frequently 1t leads off into
the lawn and sometimes to the garage,
or terminates at pond or miniature
garden. At other times 1t will serve as
q bridge, with columns at either end,
In this way spanning an otherwise
open ravine and adding to the archi-
tectural effects Of the home. In coun-
try homes it has a special place, be-
cause Of the expanse that many Of the
country abodes possess, thereby max
ing its necessity more keenly felt.
Thus we see that the pergola is in
reality a useful ornament and one that
is finding more general favor as home
builders come to realize its need. 1t
should be given fair share of the
construction mans consideration. The
study Of the varying materials with
which it Is built and the effects of the
different types Of architectural varia-
tions are widespread. Its very popu-
larity has been the fundamental rea-
son why there are today q larger
number Of the structural materials
used In its manufacture.

WE WANT REAL HOMES AGAIN
Americans More and More Understand
Value OF Having Residence With
Some Land Around 1t.

We are today, for the second time In
America, reaching the homestead pc
riod. We had it back in the old colo
NAL days, when we built substantially.
Then came the second generation of
our foreign-born population, and their
spirit was expressed in elaborate and
futile limitations Of homes unsuited
to American lives.
More leisure has come to US, more
settled spirit of patriotism that breeds
sympathy with all national achieve
ment, and the time now seems ripe
for the building of homes suited to the
American spirit, substantial, comfort
able, facing the servant problem frank
ly, realizing growing interest in beau
ty, expressing, too, the keynote of cur
civilization = individually, says the
Craftsman.
Because we are demanding homes Of
the type that we want to live il, home
building has become the most absorb
ing topic Of this generation. Whereas
evel few years ago the difficulty was
to keep the country boy and girl In
any way attached to the land, the city
holding the lure that unbalanced all
youth, today the world is reaching
back to home life, gardening, farming |;
you find boys who work in the city tell
ing you frankly that they travel many
miles day rather than give up coun-
try life. You find young women plan
ming from the day of their marriage to
have home of their own, built to
their needs, furnished as they like it.
