Have Fresh Vegetables
During Winter

Few people realize the number of
vegetables that may he kept in the
fresh state for winter use.
The essential conditions for the
storage of all root crops including
such vegetables as potatoes, beets,
carrots, horse radisb, parsnip, whit
er radish, rudabaga, satisfy, turnip,
kohlrabi and also cabbage, are that
they be Kept cool and moist, away
from air currents. Storing should
be done as late as possible. avoiding
freezing.
These conditions may be met in
several ways. The simplest for
home use where only a few of each
are to be stored, is to place them in
box of moist sand or soil in layers
aud leave in a cool part of the cellar.
Where larger quantities are to
be kept, they may be put in what
is known as an out-Ot.doOr pit.
Only whole specimens free from
disease should be used. The method
is as follows: The vegetables are
placed in conical pile on the sur
face of the ground in a well-drained
location. A covering of six to eight
inches of straw or litter is placed
over them, and a covering of as
much soil, commencing at the
bottom and working toward the
top. In severe climates a later
covering of manure may be necess-
airy as soon as the soil freezes. In
this way, vegetables may be kept
in perfect condition until we'll along
in the spring.

Urge 10 Vote Against
Beer Amendment

The absurdity of the proposed
beer amendment was the subject
of well-planned and very effective
meeting at the Opera House last
Sunday afternoon, with Evangelist
Bennett as the principal speaker.
The house was more than half
filed, and the ladies' of the w. G..
T. Z. are to be congratulated upon
their success in placing before so
many intelligent people the danger
of allowing in our state the manu-
facture of beer on "the most
subtle-the most damnable argu.
ment", as Mr.. Bennett put it, that
beer is mot Intoxicating.
The speaker brought out how
the state had, two years ago, re-
futed the arguments of personal
liberty to ruin the country of our
need of the saloon license, when we
proved that their money wouldn't
nearly pay for the almshouses, in
sane asylums, prisons, jails, ETC.,
needed to care for their victims; of
this prohibition doesn't prohibit"
bugaboo. when the liquor interests
spend immense sums to get rid of
prohibition; of "blind tigers" when
deplorable as they are, there isn't
one in dry territory to ten in wet.
Wouldn't it be odd to say the least,
for us to now begin to manufacture
beer, that can make a man just as
drunk as can any other drink, when
we have once rid the state of the
curse?
Rev. Benefits text was from
Amos, warning his people Woe
unto them that are at ease in Lion"
and in a convincing way he babe
Colorado not to be too sure such a
ridiculous amendment could not
pass our voters.
He advised to vote early and
remember Beer is booze. Vote
No.
To vary the program there was
song by Mabel Eckstedt, accom-
panied by her sister at the piano.
Carl Rice read an article, "Won' t
You Do it For the Children's
Sake?" A quartette composed of
Mrs. Wave Wright, Mr.. and Mrs.
Donithorne and John Osborn, &C
companied by Mr.. Rogers, sang
two songs. George and Raymond
Baehr read two clever papers on
personal liberty.
Mr.. Moscript, who in a few words
welcomed the assembly on behalf
of Idaho Springs, presided during
the meeting, and voiced vote of
thanks to the Opera House CON-
pany for the use of the theater..
Seated on the platform, besides
Rev. Bennett and Acting Mayor Ed
Moscript, were Rev. Mytton, who
offered prayer and pronounced the
benediction; R. R. Graham, j. L.
Cutting, Herman Crist, John W.
Green, and Senator Roberts.

FACTS ABOUT THE sLovAKs
People Belonging to West Branch Of
siav FamIly-Mostly AgrlcuI-
turists and Woodcutters.

The Slovaks are Slavs. The Mag
yars are not. The Slovaks are
people belonging to the west branch
of the Slav family. They are chiefly
located in northwest Hungary and
Moravia, but they are also to be
found in Lower Austria, Slavonia
and Bukowina. About three-fourths
of them are Roman Catholics. Their
language was a dialectal form Of
Czech, and Czech was used in all
their writing until the end of the
eighteenth century, when the Slovak
dialect began to be used in writing.
The Slovaks are principally agricul-
turists and woodcutters. They num-
Der about 2,5OO,OO0. So far as is
known, the Slovaks occupied their
present territory about the fifth or
sixth century, together with land
stretching far to the south. When
the Magyars conquered the kingdom
of Great Moravia in 907, the Slovaks
were a part of that country; the
Magyars displaced or assimilated the
southern Slovaks and have, with
brief Interruptions, ruled the rest
ever since. In 1848-49, when the
Magyars rose against Austria, the
Slovaks in turn rose against the
Magyars, but on the treaty Of peace
were handed back to them. The
Magyars are a Finno-Ugrian or
Finno-Turki people, descendants of
the race who, about $50, moved from
the Ural region to the Volga, and
after long sojourn on the Russian
steppe were driven westward to OBJ
tain permanent footing, before the
close of the ninth century, in the ba-
sin of the middle Danube.

WHEN ALL OIL is GONE
Likely to BE q Problem to Find Some
thing That Can Re-
place u.

How much petroleum there is in
the United States no one knows,
writes franklin K. Lane, secretary
of the interior, in an article on Geo
nomic Preparedness" published in
the Scientific American. But at the
present rat0 If consumption-265,-
100000 barrels a year-it will soon
be exhausted. for the geological sur
vey's maximum estimate is 23,000,-
100000 barrels.
''Whatever the supply" says Sec
retary Lane, "it should not be al
lowed in its crude state to compete
with coal as fuel. Petroleum is a
priceless resource, for it can never be
replaced. Trees can be grown again
on the soil from which they have
been taken. But how can petroleum
be producedP 1t has taken ages for
nature to distill it in her subter-.
ranean laboratory. We do not even
know her process. We may find a
substitute for it, but have not yet.
It is practically the one lubricant of
the world today. Not a railroad
wheel turns without its way being
smoothed by it. We can make light
and heat by hydro-electric power, but
the great turbines move on bearings
that are smothered in petroleum.
From it we get the quick exploding
gas which is to the motor and the
airship what air is to the human
body. To industry, agriculture, COM
merce and the pleasures of life, pc
troleum is now essential"

THIS GOLF BALL HARMLESS.

Another knick-knack has been
added to the golfers indoor equip
ment.
A woolly little ball, the size and
shape Of q regulation golf ball, now
enables one to take ones stance in
a corner of the living room and aim
ct any piece of bric-a-brac, cut glass
or hand painted vase without fear
Of serious consequences. OF course
there is always the chance that the
ball will not go where it is directed,
but if it should, and if it should pop
the porcelain dairy maid square in
the nose it would rebound without
causing any damage.
The indoor ball was placed on the
market in Kansas City several weeks
ago, and already several hundred are
in use. The material is soft wool
tied SO it retains its spherical shape.

In the Springtime

The jay bird is rejoicing and
his heart is full of hope. The
tickle grass is sprouting and the
housewives making soap. The
farmers feeling frisky-it is
dry enough to plow. He jigs
around the tater patch while
Willie hunts the cow. The chick
ems in the onion bed are having
lots of fun; the ducks are kick
ing up their heels and spring
time has begun. Most every
body's happy and the seasons
looking fine. The chance for
corn is mighty good, and SOS the
price of swine. And the folks
in town are smiling; they feel
that they're in luck. They'll have
a welcome for the man who
brings the garden truck. They'll
buy his plums and apple sass
his nectarines and sassafras-
his peaches ripe-his cherries
red-they'll 'sassinate his let
tuce bed. They'll take his cab
bage to bile-they'll chase him
down the street a mile-to get a
chance to buy his beans and car
ry off a ton Of greens. They'll
purchase everything he's got
and put the money in the slot.
And then the farmer will rejoice
and folks will hear his gentle
voice. They'll hear him say, cts
plain to me, an awful chump I'd
surely be, if l sent off to buy my
duds and killed the town that
buys my spuds."

''Then," said the maharajah, "take

The fakir shrieked his dismay,
