any expense to the county whatever.
Signs will be placed along the differ
ent routes to direct tourists through the
county, and pamphlets can lie placed
with all the information bureaus at Den
yer and Colorado Springs, describing
Elbeit county, throwing open to the out
side world the great opportunities which
Elbert county offers-the fertile valleys
OF the divide" the healthful climate in
this region, aud the beautiful scenery
through this section. In order TO build
up country it must be advertised, and
one OF the best ways to advertise a
country is to build few good roads, as
country with good roads means pros
perity, and as a motorist seeks good
roads whether on business or pleasure
trip it brings him in touch with such
prosperity.
One of the plans suggested is to have
sociability run, consisting OF as many
cars as is possible to get going up thru
Denver, Boulder, Longmont, Fort Col,
Inns, Greeley, Brighton, and return. The
Kiowa band will be great assest to
sociability run OF this kind, as it will
help to liven things up and to let the
people in northern Colorado know that
klbert county is on the map.

EBERT COUNTY AND THE
EBERT COUNTY MOTOR CLUB
Will be Organized at kiowa, Wednesday, June 7---An
Owners of Automobiles are Urged to Attend

Through the efforts OF some of our
business men, the benefits that might
be derived from the organization OF an
Auto club in Elbert county has been
presented to great many motorists in
this county, all OF whom are in favor OF
organizing such a club.
Since SO many are in favor and are
working for the organization OF an Auto
club in this county, it is thought that
during court week would be a good time
for the motorists OF Elbert county, which
number about three hundred, to get to-
gether for the purpose of organizing an
Auto club, provided such movement
meets with the approval of the motorists
present.
The object of the club would be not
only to boost for good roads but to assist
in systematic advertising campaign
which can be accomplished at very little
cost.
The east and west highway from Ii.
mon west through Elbert county is an
assured fact, but good live motor club
could push the completion of this road,
and after completion it would then assist
in getting the trans continental motor
traffic to come through Elbert county.
instead branching at Limon as they now
do, following the U. p. to Denver and
the Rock Island to Colorado Springs.
This route is about the same distance
as those now used and when completed
will offer much better road conditions.
Many hundreds of tourists can be brot
thru Elbert county every summer which
will serve to advertise the county aud
increase business in each town through
which the route passes.
A great deal of the motor traffic be-
tween Denver and Colorado Springs can
be diverted through Elbert county by
co operating with the Denver and Colo
RADIO Springs motor clubs. This route
through Ebert county is practically
complete but some work needs to be
done in Ell Paso and Douglas counties
The club could get this through without

A LAW ON TRIAL

Just about the time publicity was given to the fact that capital punishment had been abolished in this state a murder committed in this county in the course of a bank robbery The murderer of party of four MeXicans.

But suppose majority of the pco- pie who have heard of these crimes have thought at the time of the ant-caIital punishment law.
 It should be borne in mind that the law is only on trial and that if it should be followed hy unusual nu Der of murders the people will promptly restore capital punishment at the next election. The law carlict by ma iory of only l52 with various societies and ganizations working strcuousy for it. and with the in its behalf No word spoken against it in the course of the campaign y any speaker Newspapers were gen orally silent. The Republican advised the adoption oi the law as experiment.
 Many who voted for it did so with misgivgings Nine voters out of every would prefer the abolition of cap ital punishment if the better results could be produced. But they apprehensve that conditions in this state did admit of its aboton that We have class of criminals whom nothing less than tn" fear of death can deter. However, voters decided by very small majority to give abolition a trial

BACK TO THE FARM

It is gratifying to learn from real estate men i'll diff fcrent sections of the country that there s at last pro bounced movement back to the farm They report large number of of moderate means puIclIaS ing farms and moving their families to them to escape the burdens of the present high cost of living
 This is conmendabe and all right as far as 1t goes but the is not general enough And then II Is not that needed on the tams bat workers.
 For several decades past there has been rapid cXo dus from the fa1n until n many sections of our country it is almost impossible to help at any price. This the farms high prices naturally resulting.
 We have table of statistics of the per cent of urban population compared to rural at the present time and fifty years It showed startling growth o the cities and towns with nearly equal growth of rural population.
 But you may say these workers who have deserted the farms for the city engaged n manufactures. Why, then. manufactured articles cheaper in price instead of being right mp alongside of food stuff The is simple, and will have to be taken into consideration scheme to lessen the cost of living The farm is the barometer of national life Touch the farm and you touch the national pulse It very little the scarcity of plenty of manufactured articles products, if the farm is productive the prices fall if the farm fails all prices rise in sympathy We know that this is all acceptable to politicians who would have believe that party policies respOnsble-a of which IS the veriest rot the American people fast finding out.
 When people attack the farm problems in a sensible way; when devise plan to restore to the farms of this country the valuable human brawn that they have os-then and till then will be in the way of reducing the cost of living again normal
 Perhaps the movement reported is the beginning and indicates that the pendulum IS at last started its backward swing Let us devoutly hope such the
