STOP KILLING THE CALVES

In Argentine there is law making.
it felony to kill any female of ths
cattle species that is under six years
old. Argentine is wiser than we arc
The economic mill grinds slowly but it
grinds exceedingly small. We are now
paying prices which may be considered
exorbitant for first class mich cows,
for beef and milk. That the killing Ut
three million calves every year for
veal, and the spaying of thousands of
heifers and fattening them for the
block, is responsible in large measure
for the present high prices of certain
food commodities, there can be no
question.
Calves are taken from their mothe-s
Immediately after they are born on tha
preteXt that a COW s milk is too valua-
BILE for a cows calf. These calves, IN
case it happens to be in the vicinity of
a large city, are often sold by calf buy
ers to people in the lower districts for
bob-veal. Those that are not sold 70
calf buyers are raised on SKINNED milk
and if they do not die of scours they
become runty and badly stunted in
their growth.
AS general thing this practice is to
be condemned. The farmer and dairy
man are saving at the spigot and vast
ing at the bung. They must now pay
$75 for good COW and have none to
sell. Every time we sit down to the
dinner table we are paying the price
for this short-sighted policy. One thing
is sure, if we kill all our calves it is
only question of time until we will
have no cows. The farmer and dairy
man, in their greed, have not been will
ing to wait for their money, but have
grasped at the dollar which is in sight,
and as result we are on the verge of
cattle famine. We are now looking
towards Argentine to help us out in
our food supply. This is indeed serr-
Gus economic problem.

JACK HETZEL BUYS
COMMERCIAL RESTAURANT

After searching over eastern and
northern Colorado, Washington Ore
gon, Nevada and Utah for better
place than Glenwood, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jack Hetzel gave it up as useless
undertaking and returned to this city
and on Thursday they purchased the
Commercial restaurant from Mrs: Katie
G. Bender, who has owned and operated
the same for the past 80 years.
The Hetzels took possession at once
and ar now at home in the old relia-
BILE location and are ready to serve
their friends at all hours of the day
or night. Mr.. and Mrs. Hetzel have
been very successful in the restaurant
business in Glenwood in the past and
they believe that for Glenwood there
is yet brighter future. Their well
known ability as caterers commends
them to the Glenwood public.
Not only all Glenwood, but all Of
Garfield county will miss the smiling
face of "Aunt Katie" in entering this
we'll known hostelry. Just what MrE.
Bender will do to occupy herself she
has not yet fully decided. Her health
has been very poor for some time and
she has been warned that she must
abandon the strain which is involved
in the conduct of this business. She
will first go to Grand Junction for a
visit to relatives and later will proba-
bly, take trip to California. Wherev-
er she goes Mrs. Bender may rest as
sured that the best wishes of her
many Garfield county friends will fol
low her and all will wish for her
speedy return to health. -r,

High School

very enjoyable musical program

nesday morning. Orchestra music,
singing by the class choruses, vocal solo

in fine shape for their coming games

OLD CLOCK
Invention of John Muir That Was
a Wonder.
Not Only EffectualIy Aroused Sleeper,
but Could Be Arranged to Start
Fire and Deliver Books
When Wanted.

The famous clock of the late John
Muir, the noted naturalist and ex-
plorer, which not only woke him up
in the morning, but dumped him out
of bed; which delivered his books to
him in regular sequence when he was
studying and which lighted his fire in
the morning, has Just been presented
to the Wisconsin State Historical So
ciety's museum at Madison by the
Wisconsin Alumni Association of
Northern California The Milwaukee
Journal gives the following account,
with illustration, of that extraordinary
clock:
The clock was used by Muir during
his school days at Wisconsin univer-
sity in the early sixties. Because of his
desire to work, he kept late hours and
found 1t hard to get up. First he tried
tying string to his toe and having
the janitor pull it at S a. m. This
worked until some of the students
nearly pulled him out of bed. Then
he built clock which would do the
work.

three legs, two at the head and one
at the foot. The leg at the foot was
in two sections and operated on an ell
bow. This elbow was held by a peg
so that II the peg was released the
bed would drop to an angle of 45 de-
grees. A strong cord, fastened to the
peg, led to the clock; on the end Of
the cord near the clock was q large
stone. Before retiring the cord was
attached to the clock and at five the
clock would do its deadly work. The
noise of John falling out Of bed and
the falling stone awakened everyone
in the building.
While teaching in a country school
house he used the clock to start a fire
before he arrived at school. The clock
upset tube Of sulphuric acid into a
mixture of chlorate of potash and
sugar placed under the kindling and
wood the night before. Instant COM
bustion took place.
He also used the clock to open and

Grade School

Mrs. Westerman, county superintenl-
ent, has received a petition from the
Colorado Power company to transfer
their plant at Shoshone from School
District No. l, because they are nearer
other schools. We hope the county
superintendent will deny this petition
as the change would deprive the Glen
wood schools of large share of their
revenue. Moreover, we feel that the
Glenwood schools deserve this revenue
because of the fact that in 1908 Super
intendent Underwood as instructed by
the board, established and furnished a
school there for the benefit of the en-
ployees of the company during the con-
struction of the plant. The district In
which they were formerly located re-
7 fused to do this for them and that was
! the reason that territory was trans
ferred to our district at that time.
The grade school executed their fire
drill maneuver in forty-eight seconds
Vim good order last week.
Notwithstanding the inclement wealth
er the per cent of attendance during
the month of January was ninety,
seven.
Mr.. C,.derwood is giving oral and
written examinations in the grades.
Mrs. Tu'ly returned to take cua: 20
of her room as soon as the fir. at
her home was under control Thu-,iay
: morning. She was absent from ler
room about forty minutes which is the
most time she has lost from school for
the past nine years.
Some excellent composition work is
being done in the eighth grade.

tessori system of education was the
main topic of discussion at the teach
ers' meeting Wednesday.

ANr1-MaARErTE BILL Is
PLANNED BY W. G. T. q.

If you enjoy cigarettes you better
smoke 'em while you can for "pills"
soon will be barred from Colorado if
the plans of the w. c. 7. U. do not go
awry, according to Mrs. Adrianna
Hungerford, president of the state or
ganization. Mrs. Hungerford said this
morning that her association already is
mapping out campaign to initiate an
anti-cigarette constitutional amend
ment if the liquor question is not re-
submitted at the fall election,
Moreover, although it is to be admit
ted that the proposed amendment is
somewhat vague and shadowy, the tenn
perance women will ask that adults be
denied the privilege of putting the tissue
covered smoke as well as minors. You
will not even have the pleasure of roll
ing your own cigarette" hand-made"
pills will be placed under the ban of
the law as well as tailor-mades.'
"Of course we cannot make any
definite Statements Mrs. Hungerforl
said this morning. "We are too busy
now with the possibility of the liquor
interests renewing the prohibition fight
to go deeply into the cigarette prob
lem, although we will take it up in
time.'
Mrs. Hungerford said that Attorney
General Farrar had declared himself
in favor of the proposed anti-cigarette
law. Mr.. Farrar, however, was more
recitent when asked by a representa-
tive of the Post concerning his stand
on the question.
"I am against the cigarette" the
attorney general said, "but do not
wish to commit myself on my attitude
toward an anti-cigarette law. 1 am
too busy with the liquor fight now to
go into that matter"
Seven states now have laws prohib-
iting the use or sale of cigarettes to
minors-Arkansas, South Dakota, Ne
braska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kansas,
and Wisconsin. No provisions are
made in the laws of any of these
states, however, against the use of ci-
garettes by adults.

MINERS OWN psrEAr-
WILL RETURN TO woRK

Clifton, Ariz., Jan. 24.-The strike
of 5000 Clifton -Morenci- -Metcalf cop.
per miners is ended. There was 10
violence, due, temperance advocates
say, to Arizona "dry" law. And the
strikers, while out, served as guards
for millions of dollars in property Of
the men they were fighting. For the
first time, probably, in history, min
ing camp wage war ended without
bloodshed. Not only that, but the EN-
ployers voluntarily made overtures
which the men accepted although the
terms did not include union recogni-
tion.
State militia, in varying numbers,
were on duty for almost the entire pc
riod of the strike and in this particular
also the strike violated precedents.
The state soldiers were received with
open arms by the strikers.
But these were only breaches OF
order.
Operations, suspended since the strike
began, probably will be resumed next
week.
Under this proposition the companies
recognize no union, but will introduce
sliding scale of pay under which tho
| miners will receive, at the present price
of copper, $3.41 per day
Carpenters will be paid $5 per day,
machinists and boilermakers $5.31 and
laborers $3.50.
! A grievance committee will meet the
mine managers each month to discuss
and adjust grievances.
1t developed today the strike, which
was called by Guy Miller, an organizer
for the Western Federation of Miners,
was not authorized by that organiza-
ton, and that no assessments ever were
levied by that or any other organiza-
tion for support of the strikers. FL
nancial assistance was rendered only
by miners of the state, principally
those of Miami.
Soon after the strike began, J. w.
Bennie, Norman Carmichael and M. H.
McLain, managers of the operating
| companies, boarded locomotive AMI
left for Ell Paso, to which city the
strikers sent several delegations to
treat for peace, without result.
The strike was called after period
of organization work by Miller, Guier-
rez de ara, Mexican radical, and
others.
Although large majority of the
strikers were Mexicans, they worked in
harmony with their fellows of other
nationalities.
The strikers almost Immediately
abandoned their demand for recognition
of the Western Federation of Miners.
They successively abandoned all 9TH
er claims except that of higher pay.
Finally they accepted the PROPOSE
tion of the managers to return to work
and discuss grievances afterward.
There was no question of shorter
day.
The Arizona law provides that men
shall not work underground more thaa
eight hours day.
The proposition of the managers
merely extended the sliding wage scale
to include copper at "a cents per pound.
Prior to the strike, the scale stopped
increasing after copper reached 90
cents.

aLENwooD BOY HoNoRED

Word comes from Leland Stanfo II
university that William F. Noonan, son
of Judge and Mrs. J. l.. Noonan of this
city, has been highly honored by his
associates in the institution where he
is this year junior law student. The
honor which has been thrust upon Will
liam is no less than his election rs
president of the student council of this
popular educational institution, an i'm
portant position and one which is
usually much sought after.
This evidence of the splendid esteem
in which Mr.. Noonan is held by, his
fellow students is remarkable honor,
coming to one not resident Of Cali
fornia, and especially since he was not
a candidate for the place and when ap-
preached about it said to his associates
that he did not want nor did he expect
this honor.
1t is regarded as a very important
position since this official is to preside
over the student council, an organiza-
tion which has in charge all the af-
fairs of the student body. Naturally
Judge and Mrs. Noonan are highly
pleased with the progress their son has
made in his university work and with
the esteem in which he is held by his
class and the large student body which
has SO highly honored him at this time.

Material for erIauettes.

Peat and chalk are being extensive.
ly used, it is reported. for briquetting
in Canada. The peat is mixed with
coal breeze and then pressed into
briquettes. Such fuel has been
found efficient and economical. Chalk
also, of which there are large de-
posits in Canada, can be pulverized
and then combined with a certain
percentage Of breeze and solidified
tar, the mixture being compressed into
small briquettes or pebbles about the
size of an egg. The briquettes burn
with perfect satisfaction. The fuel
has the advantage of being smokeless,
has high calorific value and burns
freely.
